How To Publish Online

Traditional publishers can step aside in the new landscape of self publishing. Gone are the days where you have to wait for an editor to approve the idea of a book, wait for the royalty check, and pray that a book sells. The world is going to self publishing, and isn't looking back. Here are a few quick thoughts on how to publish a book online. As with any book, your self publishing quest begins with appropriate planning. You are the one in control, which means that you get to decide what your pricing will be, you get to decide what platforms are salable, and you're the one who determines exactly how much marketing power you wish to put into the book.

For those who are already well networked, a self published book can bring you authority, royalties, and riches. What about those who don't have that kind of power to bak them up? That's where online book publishers come into play. They can format your books for the multitude of platforms, provide basic or advanced marketing experience, and give you the best shot of making your self published book a success. When first starting your self publishing quest, the first place to think about publishing is on the Amazon Kindle. They have a platform which is incredibly easy to use, and rather than weeks, you only have to wait half a day for your book to go live. this allows for easy changes and revisions, as well as places your book in front of millions of eyes.

Use social marketing tactics to your advantage. Make sure that you have a current Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIN account to both broadcast and interact with your readers. These platforms are not meant to simply blast, they are meant for you to interact and help readers warm up to you. We have gone from the days of all talk and no listening - we are interactive now. Setting up a blog page is also essential. You want to keep your interactions with your readers up so that other readers may find your book on the web and potentially purchase it. Keep your readers up to date with the latest news and information about yourself and your book - when you conduct a dialogue, it's read by many more than just the few who comment.

Your self publishing journey begins, realistically, the moment that you decide that you want to publish a book. By proper planning, you can take advantage of all of the avenues out there. Take your questions to your favorite online book publishers to learn more about the exciting world of self publishing.
