Ways to Publish and Sell your E-book [Infographic]

To publish an e-book can be challenging yet interesting. To sell an e-book is critical. Though the trend of self-publishing across the world has radically heightened, when readers can’t find that high interest upon looking at your book, there is no way for them to buy it.

Impress your prospect readers

The best way to do it is simply make sure you, yourself, as the author of your e-book is highly impressed by your work. If you are, there is no reason why readers can’t see the spotlight of that story you want to tell them.

Create an impressive cover design

Selling copies of your e-book can be so critical. Your frenzied fans will have all the reasons to either recommend it to their other friends or not. So, make sure that from the cover design of your book, you are giving your best.

First-rate book description

From the cover, readers’ eyes will surely be dragging down to some eye-catching words on it. Write the best description for you book so readers can find no excuses of not adding it up to their cart.

Quality matters to all

This simply refers to a good book and a good book means a well-edited, well-presented, and well-formatted one. So, don’t get tired of re-editing your work because it is only you who can profit in the end.

Fair book pricing

See to it that your book price isn’t so much of pain for the buyers and at the same time, can give you satisfaction to yourself on the kind of manuscript you’ve just done.

Quantity

The more e-books you can offer to the readers, the more buyers you can tap. Amanda Hocking, author of the best-selling e-book, Trylle trilogy, became a self-publishing multi-millionaire with her teen supernatural thrillers before bagging a$2M publishing contract with St. Martin’s Press. She writes more and keeps on earning millions.

Advertise and use social media

Advertising knows no limit. Today, one of the bests and proven effective way to get your book an exposure before the right audience is through constant advertising. Getting in contact with the prospect readers through social media works well as it’s getting a vast number of users in the world. Statistics says that 80 percent of social media users prefer to connect with brands through Facebook.

Create platforms

Think as many ways as you can in the name of your book’s exposure. The more spots your books are available, the better. Compete with the other authors and think of ideas you think will surpass their ways. Competition is healthy because it drives you to aim higher.

Open your doors

When there’s a chance for you to sell your books internationally; grab it. You need to experiment things. When one seems not to work out; hop on to better chances such as hiring book sellers whose passion is selling. Don’t hesitate to trust and ask help when most necessary.

Self-Publishing VS Traditional [Infographic]

Self-Publishing differs from Traditional Publishing in so many ways. Main distinctions are based on the advantages and disadvantages of its every angle such as the cost, publishing time, control, and the profit.

Self-Publishing VS Traditional

Which is preferred by the authors these days: Traditional Book Publishing or Self-Publishing? Let me discuss the comparison of the two in every specific aspect.

5 Fundamental distinction

Period of Accomplishment
It may take years for a manuscript to become a book in the traditional publishing. This is due to the process where author has to mail publishing companies with a proposal for their book publishing that may be approved or rejected.

Self-publishing is quite too different as the author here can plainly have his book done in more or less six months because he becomes the publisher for his books.

Control over the process
 With the traditional publishing, the author’s dream to have his book published can turn into frustration when a publishing house denies his request.

Self-publishing does the other way. An author has all the control of his book and the entire process of getting it a name in the reading market.

Costs
Being the self-publisher of your book means being an investor of your own business. So, you pay everything from printing the book or publishing it online, design, and advertising.
In contrary, you are paid by publishing houses when you opt for traditional way in publishing and only when your book will be approved for publication.

Control
With self-publishing, you have all the control for your book from the content, design, and the way you want it to be marketed and where you want it be distributed. Traditional publishing on the other hand, can end you up in despair especially when a publisher has all the reasons and excuses if they don’t want to publish your book.

Profit
Going through the traditional way of publishing, you will receive from 5% to 15% royalty for each book sold when your contract is with a huge publishing house. With self-publishing, you can receive 50% to 200% profit as a self-published author.
