    I made a book and it's selling. I never got this far, so I'm a bit stuck xD

    MARKETING 
    Back in August I had a flash idea for a drawing book/sketchbook I wanted to exist, so I made it. I proved the concept with pre-orders and eBook sales, so I got 200 from a printer abroad. Right now sales trickle as long as I'm investing in ads but it's been a learning curve to figure out how to...

    What Do You Think of This?

    I have recently published a short step by step guide ebook (35-pages), which guides you on how to properly work on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The major pitfall of MTurk (as it's called), is there is so much crappy work mixed in with the decent tasks available. So it is the norm for an untrained...

    Franchise, Publish or Both?

    Him: "Franchise my business? I think it's a terrible idea, people buy into a franchise for the name, I don't have a well known name.

    Children's Book Publishing... WOW?!

    HOT! 
    Saw this at Costco... WOW. Over 200 million sold, the "Wimpy" series I'm guessing. Safe to say that Mr. Kinney is probably doing pretty good for himself. Anyone here in this market? I do recall seeing some threads but can't seem to find them.

    PUBLISHING 
    I am a product marketing guy, but book launching and marketing is different. Many of the tricks of the trade that are used in physical product marketing don't apply to book marketing, and many successful strategies for book publication don't apply to the physical products industries.
