Are Book Publishers Going the Way of the Railroads?

Over 72% of publishers surveyed on the impact of digitization on book publishing by the Frankfurt Book Fair and the German trade magazine Buchreport said the development of new business models, new multimedia products and effective marketing strategies are the biggest challenges facing publishers as they transition from print to digital.

Duh! The publishers are slow to react to the changing customer demands.

The publisher’s lateness to the party reminds me of the train industry’s reacti… Continue

Being On Radio With A True Professional

I was on the Coach Ron Tunick radio show today. Ron invited me to talk about the publishing industry and book shepherding. Ron published IN THE THINKING ROOM as a trade paperback and wants to publish it as a hard cover, too.

I was supposed to be on the air at 3 o’clock for one… Continue

To all of you out their in the title realm of AUTHOR. I have since the release of my book have been very fortunate to sell over 4000, that's right 4K copies of my book without using a PR Firm, Marketing Company or a Book Agent. I am in the process of creating a Power Point presentation entitled, "Write like a SAINT, Sell like a SINNER" that I will be charging $200.00 for the information discussed within the material. I will be sending out copies of what was presented to all that paid via their personal email. My only goal when I wrote the book was to make enough money to buy a church and pay off my school loans well I am off to a great start and believe that I will reach my target of just 50K books sold by January 2010. Can anyone else out here on this network say the same. Believe me as a self published writer, I have gone through all the headaches associated with marketing your book and how companies charge 5-15K upfront money for a book that will probably not get that far with their tactics. I know that $200.00 is a mere fraction of what they are charging you and best of all you control the amount of money you make off of your book. My email is ceasetosuffer@gmail.com once you do this you will kick yourself in the patoot for not doing it sooner. GOD bless.
