Press Release Author: Geet Singh

Industry: Internet & Online

Press Release Summary: Today, more than ever before authors are presented with
publishing opportunities that have never existed before. This is not to understate
the hard work that authors have to go through to get recognition, write great books,
and make a full time living from their passion of expression. However, it is to say
that today, due to advances in communications technology, authors can now get their
books distributed much easier than they could a decade ago. One very popular way
that authors are distributing their work is digitally through eBooks. Digital books
are gaining so much popularity that even some of the most popular authors in the
world have used it to distribute their books. Stephen King for example published
"Riding the Bullet" exclusively in eBook format. When this eBook began distribution
over Barns and Nobel and Amazon there was so much demand for the download that the
servers of these two book giants slowed down almost to a halt. People that wanted to
download the eBook were put in a large queue with the hundreds of thousands of other
who downloaded the eBook as well.

It's not only big name authors that are finding success in eBooks. We at EBook
Architect have been helping authors create market and sell their eBooks online for
years now with great success. Many of these people are first time authors and are
often amazed with the success of their eBook sales. Below are some of their eBook
writing tips.
Don't underestimate the power of the EBook
EBooks are still looked upon as unpopular by many authors who have not yet taken the
time to learn about the success within this industry. For example, while the
traditional publishing industry growing at the sluggish rate of 5% a year the
digital publishing industry is growing at rates between 30% -50%. This means that
the opportunities within the publishing industry are growing at a fraction of the
rate that opportunities within the digital publishing industry are growing.
To set up an eBook you don't need to be a tech wizard
Setting up your eBook from the idea conceptualization stage to the selling stage
can't be completed overnight but it is definitely something that can be done by
anyone regardless of your technological background. If you can use a word processor
then you can create and sell an eBook online. While it is recommended you set up
your own website, it is not necessary. Setting up an EBook site is virtually
costless and you keep 100% of the profits
With traditional publishers you'll be lucky to see 10% of the profits from your
book. With eBooks however, you keep 100% of the profits minus the fees required to
set up the site which are minimal. Here is the fee breakdown for eBooks vs.
traditional books:
EBook vs. Book cost
EBook = Free to create an unlimited number of copies
Book = approximately $1500 for 200 copies of a 200 page soft cover book
Rights and profit
EBook = You keep 100% of the profits and rights to your eBooks
Book = You get 10-40% royalty (usually about $2-$5/ book)
With the above examples it is easy to see that for first time author's eBooks make a
lot of sense. The risk associated with publishing an eBook is much lower than it is
with distributing a soft or hard cover book. Likewise, as an eBook author you'll
keep virtually all of your own profits.
If nothing else, it is something worth consideration. EBooks may not replace
traditional paperback books, but they certainly are gaining popularity at a rate
that should make all authors stop to think about how they could use eBooks to their
advantage.
