Winning Model for Self Publishing: Combining Direct Sales and Global Distribution
The Challenge: Do you sell your book direct to maximize your profit or do you make your book available through distribution channels and give up the distribution discount to make your book discoverable to a wider audience?
The Solution: Do Both!
Selling your books direct to consumers (via your own website, seminars, etc) will always provide the greatest profit margin but the scope of your audience is usually limited. In addition, self publishers must take a financial gamble on guessing the amount of books they should keep in inventory. Our Independent Publisher Services program enables self publishing authors to have greater flexibility on distribution options and limit their financial exposure. As a cost effective alternative to traditional book distributors, our program provides distribution through all the popular online booksellers and over 90% of the bookstores in the US.
With our Supply-On-Demand model, both hardcover and paperback books can be printed and shipped through the distribution network within 24 hours of an online or store order. Our authors can purchase a reasonable amount of books for direct sales and they do not have to tie up their money in wholesale inventory. Most importantly, our clients get to retain all of their rights and 100% of net profit.
Using our Book Cost & Royalty Calculator, authors have complete understanding of their book cost and flexibility establishing a retail sales price. Once the unit cost is determined, authors can purchase individual books at the same price (quantities 10-50) and volume discounts are available for larger orders.
