Imagine the power of a site dedicated to Independent authors and their books. A place where readers could find over a million Independently published books at one online location. The time has come for Independent authors around the class to join unitedly on the Internet at one location to sell our books. Thither is large capability in numbers and with an estimated five million Independent authors cosmopolitan the power of that one destination would change the face of publishing&ndashforever! Even with just 20% of those titles, that combination of forces would be a capital contender to booksellers around the class.
The key to improving our exposure to readers and increase book sales is to combine the efforts of Independent authors on a global exfoliation at one online marketing platform. This will attract consumers interested in books not found in the conventional major bookstore or mass merchant. The site can market to readers and offer a action of Independently published titles not found in combination anywhere. The future for book sales is the Internet, the only growth area in publishing is the Independent author, and the market is international.
The biggest problem for Independent book sales is a highly decentralized marketplace. This marketplace includes dozens of websites that sell books and services to other authors, as advantageously as hundreds of thousands of author websites and is exactly the kind of environment that depresses our effort to market and sell books to a mass audience.
The cardinal biggest New York publishers will always control the Barnes & Noble’s and Wal-Mart’s of the conventional bookselling class. They will drop whatsoever it takes and will never allow an Independent presence into their retail accounts. Let them continue disbursal their money in a market that has been consistently decrease since the early 1990’s.
When Independent authors organize and guide readers to a central Internet location where books not found in bookstores are available, we’d start to accompany changes in the artifact books are purchased, on a massive exfoliation. We will have created a market that the big publishers can’t adjoin. This would be an Independent marketplace, not controlled by a single online bookseller who takes capable 60% of our cover price.
Thither is a site that provides Independent writers and authors an opportunity to market their writing to readers who otherwise would not be exposed to our activity and: (1) Offers a single global platform for Independent book sales, and (2) Gives the writer real independence from other online blade sites in the conventional marketplace, thusly giving the author large exposure to readers and a far higher return on each book oversubscribed.
The site exists; in order to attract readers and increase sales we need to add more Independently published authors and their books. It takes lots of titles to draw book consumers to a single online location. That’s why it makes more meaning to join forces globally rather than continue to divide an already highly fragmented market.
