How to sell my own book online

The internet has changed so many things in our world. As consumers, snail mail letters were replaced with email. We Skype instead of draining our wallets with long-distance phone calls. And we shop on Amazon instead of fighting for a parking space and dealing with the crowds at the local shopping mall. Specifically, publishing and selling ebooks online.

At the other end of the spectrum is Amazon's digital text platform, which allows you to upload your pre-prepared files to its Kindle reader and then set your own price. The catch? Fortunately, there are lots of other options — of which more later — for budding authors. What you get out of them is subject only to the limits of your imagination. It doesn't have to be an embryonic bestseller because self-publishing is best suited to limited editions. Anything over 1, copies and you would be better off going to a traditional printer to take advantage of economies of scale.

This is the fifth and final post in a series about writing a book. Last time I discussed actually writing the book. There are simply too many books published each year — a million or more in the US alone — to rely on destiny, or fate, or even good word of mouth to get your book the attention it deserves. Back to your book. Unfortunately for the fantasy, the number of authors who will fill bookstores, let alone stadiums, has become very small. Decide who will read your book — find your community.
