Black Authors: Make Your Fortune With Your Self-Published eBook
Self-Publishing is the new preferable alternative to traditional publishing, and will eventually take over the publishing industry. Digital publishing is a faster, easier way to deliver your writing to your customers. There are so many different options, and softwares, that essentially remove the barriers to entry, making digital publishing one of the best low-cost start-ups of 2013.
Self-Publishing offers higher profit margins for authors. For example, most Amazon Kindle authors receive a 70% royalty on each eBook sold. If you sell the eBook on your own website, you retain 100% of the revenue generated by that sale. Self-Publishing really is an incredible opportunity for anyone who has thought about publishing, or has published, any sort of writing.
Self-Publishing does introduce the author to some entrepreneurial and managerial duties. It is your job to get your eBook noticed. Fortunately, there are many proven strategies for doing this, and it really is not as difficult as many people think. It certainly is not difficult enough to warrant the outrageous prices charged by publishing companies for these services.
Dig in your heels, and prepare yourself to launch a marketing and promotion campaign for your eBook. For one month, write three articles per day on the topic of your eBook, and submit them to four different article directories. Then use those articles to create YouTube videos to promote your videos as well. Share these videos and articles on various social bookmarking websites.
I guess the fear people face is that, without a publisher, all the pressure and responsibility of the success of your eBook falls on you. That is okay. Even major celebrities feel nervous before they go on stage, feeling nervous about publishing is part of the fun.
The ebook Creator Masters Program is the ultimate resource for learning everything you need to know about writing an eBook that will sell on the Amazon Kindle. It has incredible marketing guides, and an incredible self-publishing guide as well. It is very easy to understand, and it is organized in an efficient fashion.
I can't stress the effectiveness of the marketing techniques in the program. These techniques remove all the marketing hurdles, giving you a clear plan you can follow so that you aren't running around like a chicken with your head off. The course takes you through the entire self-publishing process, on Amazon Kindle or other areas.
eBooks have so much power, because since they are a digital piece of technology, they allow you to leverage the power of the Internet. Crate a web page. This website will serve as the home base for all of your marketing activities. This website will promote yourself, and your work, share reviews of your work. One way to leverage your website, is to use it to put yourself in front of potential media partners. You will also use this website to give people free review copies of your eBook in exchange for a positive review if they like the eBook.
Digital Self-Publishing is by far the best option for African American authors. You have special promotional options not available to other people such as:
Felicia Pride's Black Books Blog
The RawSistaz
QBR The Black Book Review
African American Literature Book Club
The Black Issues Book Review
Okay. So now, you self-published an eBook, and got 4-5 positive reviews. It is now time to contact "black" organizations in your area. Have a meeting with them, preferably on Skype, and send them a copy of your eBook. In the meeting, introduce yourself to them, and ask them to help you promote / sell your eBook, or ask them to allow you to host a Webinar for members of their mailing list on an African American Literature topic where you can promote your eBook.
Many African American authors have been asking me how to reduce the time they spend researching, writing, and editing their eBooks. Which is why I created the eBook Creator Masters Program. It is everything I would tell you, sitting in my office, compiled into training combined with software, to save myself the time from trying to help each and every individual personally who contacts me for advice.
Get busy, there is a lot of money, and satisfaction to be had for African American authors in digital self-publishing.
