Are You Ready to Make Your Ebook Work Harder and Earn More Money?

You've spent hours laboring over your ebook. Polishing it to perfection. Getting rid of every bit of fluff and cramming into it as much solid information as humanly possible and then some.

Perhaps you told your subscribers, forum members, or Internet buddies about your ebook and sales took off.

But now what? It seems a shame to let all your efforts just sit on your hard drive gathering dust, maybe generating a sale or two every now and then. Used, abused, and forgotten. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Would you like to get that lazy cyber book out again and put it to work earning more money for you?

What if that book was available in thousands of brick and mortar retail sites as well as online in the biggest, and some say baddest, bookstore ever, Amazon.com?

Why not make that ebook you spent so much time on, slaved over really, work for you again? I can show you how to take your ebook and turn it into a hard copy printed book that will open whole new vistas of sales.

A printed book compliments your Ebook. You can sell more copies to more people in more places. Your book can be purchased by customers in thousands of brick and mortar bookstores, and hundreds of online booksellers including the biggest of all, Amazon.com. And that means more money for you.

Thousands of copies of your book can be purchased by corporations for their sales staff or employees, just like The One Minute Manager, or Who Moved My Cheese?

You can brand your book and spin off new titles just like Rich Dad Poor Dad, or Guerilla Marketing.

Do you want to join Mark Joyner as an Amazon.com bestselling author?

For every copy of an Ebook sold, 1000 hard copy books have sold. Can you imagine increasing your sales to that level?

Could your book be a New York Times bestseller just like The Secret?

As a writer, I’ve always been somewhat intimidated by the publishing world. I’ve written dozens of ebooks and one print book, yet the publishing world still seemed somewhat of an enigma to me. Dee Power and Brian Hill’s “From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves,” however, changed that.

While reading “From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves,” I became reinvigorated, so excited to take action that I had to stop reading to flesh out ideas that had been lingering in my mind for months. I’ve read dozens of books on writing and publishing, but none have ignited my imagination and boosted my confidence like “From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves.”

The book starts with an overview of the publishing industry, a much-needed reality check of just what challenges writers, who want their books published, face. Power and Hill reveal how many books make it on the shelves each year, how books make it to the bestseller list, and how booksellers decide what books to purchase, all invaluable information for writers determined to get their books published.

“From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves” doesn’t just focus on writers who want to go the traditional publishing route. Power and Hill also delve into the world of self-publishing, publishing on demand, and vanity publishing. While there are hurdles to overcome with each publishing option, the authors provide writers with the information they need to make informed decisions about which route is best for them, how to avoid scams, and tips for how to succeed in getting a book published.

Power and Hill also emphasize how important it is for writers to be proactive: Writers can’t just write a book and expect the publisher to do all the work. Marketing is an essential element to a book’s success, and the authors share ways writers can generate free publicity for their books. “From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves” also highlights the importance of a platform and how writers can create one for themselves.

One of the highlights of “From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves” is the firsthand comments from professionals in the field. For example, book reviewers comment on what writers often do wrong when trying to get their books reviewed, and agents offer advice on how to find an agent to represent a writer’s book.

In addition, Power and Hill save writers valuable time by providing them with dozens of links and/or addresses for book reviewers, book review websites, trade shows, books on self-publishing, and companies that design book covers.

Writers of all genres can benefit from the advice and information, offered by seasoned professionals, in Power and Hill’s book. Ultimately, “From Cyberspace to the Bookstore Shelves” is one of those books that belongs on the bookshelf of every serious writer, and it’s a book that I will turn to again and again as I begin my latest journey on the path to publishing.
