THE ADVANTAGES TO E-PUBLISHING
S
peed: Printing a book takes three to six weeks before you’ve got books in your hand and another six to sixteen weeks to get into a bookstore. With e-Publishing, you can have your book in the hands of a reader who purchased your book in a week or less.
Control: Conventional printing requires that you conform to standard sizes, page counts, formatting, etc. E-Publishing allows you to do pretty much whatever you want and offer it to the public that way.
Costs: This is the big reason that so many people are looking at e-Publishing because in addition to NOT having any printing costs, there is no inventory to stock, no shipping hassles, and no shipping charges.
Flexibility: If you’ve ever hesitated about writing a book because you weren’t sure it would sell or that you couldn’t afford to test the market, e-Publishing provides the lowest cost, lowest risk way to enter the world of publishing with almost zero risk.
Profits: Here’s the most important part and it’s based on the old adage: it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.
Because E-publishing is virtually free, except for your time, whatever revenues you generate are likely to be 100 percent profit. What other product in the world can make that claim?
