Epublishing Tip

Turn your blog post into ebooks.

Your ebook may be as short or long as you like, there's no set rule here. If the information is compelling enough you'll be able to sell as little as 5 to 10 type pages for $2.99 or so. The $2.99 price point becomes the focus when selling for the Kindle and other e-readers, since that's normally where you get the higher royalty rate. For example, Amazon's Kindle pays 70% on ebooks sold at $2.99 or higher, while it only pays 35% on ebooks prices between .99 - $2.98.

Publishing your own ebook doesn't have to be a big ordeal unless you make it so. Remember to turn your blog posts into ebooks and you may profit for years to come.

10 Ways to Find a Book Editor

Here are some several ways to find an editor for your book. Remember to have a budget in mind and be flexible on the price, based on the quality work you're seeking. Some people may do the editing work for the experience and yet it is great to begin to pay people even when they are willing to work for only experience.

1. Other people who may read a lot, sometimes make great editors even though they never edited. Perhaps a close friend, family member or colleague.
2. Many people have found Craigslist to be very resourceful.
3. Perhaps contacting the local college, seeking an English major may yield a proofreader/editor.
4. Look at the editors/proofreaders in some of your favorite books.
5. Contact your local independent bookstore perhaps they know of local editors.
6. Post help wanted messages on your Facebook Wall and in various Facebook Writing Groups.
7. Post several tweets on different days at different times of the day.
8. Send out an email to your list asking if anyone edits or knows an editor.
9. Google freelance sites for editors.

Publishing for Profit - It's Not Hard

IT'S NOT HARD in fact.... Making money online can be easy especially if you;

#1- Pick a method and stick with it. This is where most people fail. They'll develop "Shiny object" syndrome and jump from program to program. The best way to avoid shiny object syndrome is to unsubscribe from marketing emails and stay away from webinars touting the next "latest & greatest" way to make money online.

#2- Commit to taking "Massive" action for a set period of time, say 6 months to a year. Put down the remote control, web surfing, FB for at least 6 months and you'll be amazed at how having the right focus will help you big time. One thing that I see is pretty consistent amongst the highly successful is that they allow very little if any outside distractions to interrupt their goal and watching TV is almost a total no no. (Even just having the TV on with it watching you is a big mistake).

#3- Don't try to make it to "Perfect". In other words, since we are on the Internet you don't have to make it all PERFECT right out the gate because you can always go back and easily improve things as you get better at doing them. (in fact since I'm writing this using my tablet, I'm not to concerned with making it "Perfect" I just want to get this info out to those that can use it). I've made this mistake myself and its cost me a lot in wasted time, ideas, money and lost sales. Don't sell crap, but at the same time don't delay yourself trying to make it PERFECT!. I have a good buddy of mine who has worked on a program that she was planning on selling online and so far it has taken her 4 years of "Getting it Right" simply because she is afraid of it not being perfect. 4 years!!

#4- See your outcome before it even happens. having a clear goal in mind makes working toward that goal even more rewarding. When writing out your goals include things like your family and how you'll be able to help others. i.e. now that I have reached my goal of making $XXX a month I can donate money to charity that help sick children, etc.

The biggest thing is to stay focused. Stick to one thing and one thing only because every time you change your mind you literally have to start from "Square One" all over again. So while you are constantly starting over, the person who is focused will have a huge lead on you simply because he / she choose to commit to one thing.

Hope this help anyone out there looking to start or are in the middle of starting an online venture.
Stay Focused!

Kindle Publishing Revolution

The Kindle Revolution started with a bang last Christmas.

It came so swiftly, that I was caught off guard with boxes of umpteenth printing of my travel guide, Bus Across Mexico.

Suddenly my paperback, which usually sold out each printing within 4 months, was now dead in the water. I took me a few months to realize what had happened.

Readers took to the Kindle like candy. Not only could they order books from the comfort of their home, but books were digitally delivered to their Kindle within minutes.

Now they could load dozens, even hundreds of books onto a device that only weighed a few ounces. They could put the Kindle in a large pocket, a briefcase, or pocketbook, and take all those download books to read anywhere, anytime.

This was truely a revolution in the publishing word that had started thousands of years ago with clay tablets.

Finally realizing this, I scramble to format my travel guide for the Kindle. Within a few days of uploading it, sales started coming in again.

True, the price was no longer $19.99, but a Kindle competitive $4.99. But there was a 70% royalty that was pure profit since there was longer a manufacturing cost.

It has taken the big NY publishers a year to catch on to the Kindle Revolution. But they are jumping on the train with high prices (they have a huge staff overhead) and backlisted books that are dated. And they are even shafting their authors in process with measly 15% royalties.

The reading trend is now toward the indy authors. Some of them were successful big publisher authors who jumped ship for the much much bigger royalties.

Now another Christmas season is just around the corner. This time there are more Kindle models that will be put under the Christmas tree.

What does all this mean for the writers?

For the first time in the history of publishing, writers are finding themselves in charge of their marketing and promotions. If we take up the challenge to make our books stand out in a crowded forest of books, we can finally reap benefits for our hard work.

Creative writers are coming up with out-of-the-box ways to market and promote. One YouTube promo I enjoyed was by a woman who made a silent video of her writing snappy messages about her book on her white refrigerator. When she ran out of space, she switched to the top of her stove.

This was a video that I had to watch to the very end.

Another creative writer stood her book up on the kitchen table, and interviewed her book! That was another YouTube promo that had to be watched to the very end.

Clever. Clever. Clever.

Do everything you can to put your book in front of the readers as they get ready to open their wallets for Christmas.
