Many individuals have wonderful, inspiring and thoughtful stories to tell. With the availability of print on demand and desk top publishing, anyone can be a published writer.  But, there are a few things to be  aware of!

Independent publishing includes much more than just writing your book. A well developed plan is critical to a book that will lead to successful sales.

  • Research your topic or subject
  • Think about your niche market
  • Put together an comprehensive marketing plan
  • Remember – the author plays a critical role in marketing
  • Plan for sales and distribution issues (order fulfillment)
  • Research, plan and project costs of independent publishing
  • Decide what parts of the process you can handle on your own
  • Think about the business aspect of independent publishing

And always remember, writing the book is only part of the entire process. Be smart, plan ahead and get professional assistance in the parts of the process where you need help.

June – Rebuild your Life Month

Leave a comment

Spring is a good time to review the way we do business.  As a fulfillment company, we are constantly reassessing our ways of doing business.

In this time of rising fuel prices and postal increases, fulfillment companies need to reassess and possibly reinvent as well. Locating quality packaging materials at a good price, comparing methods of shipping/delivery, researching business software aimed at streamlining operations are on my mind at this time of year.  Making sure we can deliver products in the most cost effective, dependable way is ever important. And always key to a successful fulfillment business is making sure our independent publishing clients are offered and provided with optional services that will help “lighten the load.”

Happy Spring!!!!
