An innovative and strategic e-book designed to help independent authors and publishers sell large quantities of books to non traditional buying markets.
I am an indie author who has written fifty-five novels and 155 self-help novel over the last twelve years. They have been translated and narrated, making another 1,300 copies in at least 44 languages. I am also almost solely responsible for selling the English versions, so I know how tough that is. This book is divided into two distinct sections: one speaks to authors, since there are things that they can do to boost sales that a book-seller cannot, such as design an eye-catching book cover.

Book publishers have long used free content as part of their marketing and selling efforts, with the vast majority of free content distributed in printed form. Digital distribution of free material, either intentional or via unauthorized availability through peer-to-peer sites and other Web outlets, offers a fast and expansive connection to consumers, but content can also be copied and disseminated without publishers' control. Some publishers are torn between the efficiencies digital distribution provides and concerns over piracy and print-sale cannibalization. This research report is part of an ongoing effort by O'Reilly Media Inc. and Random House to test assumptions about free distribution, P2P availability and their potential impact on book sales.

Why Does it Seem Everyone Thinks Beginning Authors are Already Rich? It's not because their books are bringing them any income. But the courses and services designed to ""help"" you just put you further in the hole! It doesn't have to be that way. This entire series was written with the idea that you can get started from the computer and internet connection you already have. And nothing else. After I got my own financial freedom from publishing books, I was able to ""invest"" in some of these courses to see what I was still missing. Funny enough, that extra $500 per course taught me little I didn't already know. And what I did learn was either wrong, or I could have learned it for free from those same authors. Here's the secret, exposed: You only have to write decent books, and market them decently, to get decent income. And you should be able to start writing today, self-edit and proof when you're done, then self-publish for no more than your own sweat-equity. Get You Copy Now.

The survey presents data from 50 public libraries, predominantly in the USA but also from Canada and Australia, about their library policies on sales to the public of excess and donated books, DVDSs, audiobooks and other forms of intellectual property. The study presents highly detailed data on revenues garnered, prices charged, venues sold through, sources of revenue, and many other factors in library materials sales. The study helps library planners to answer questions such as: how much do libraries earn by selling books online? What percentage of library book sales are accounted for by Friends of the Library and similar groups? What are total revenues through all sales of intellectual property by libraries and what is the trend in revenues? How many book donations do libraries receive each year? How many DVDs? How many of these do they keep for their own collection and how many do they manage to sell? What are the best-selling genres?
