E-commerce and Direct Selling on the Web


Independent publishers and authors who want to publish their own books can no longer rely solely upon booksellers or other retailers (or libraries) to reach their ultimate consumers. There are too few retailers, too few shelf spaces available, and too much competition for readers’ attention. Going directly to consumers to sell books is something that all publishers today must learn how to do. It’s not easy to be both a publisher and a retailer, but the internet makes it much easier to accomplish. Today, there are great tools available for book marketers, and we can help you build your presence on the web so you can become an effective seller of books and related products. Remember - with great content you will always find an audience - if you work at it intelligently and effectively.
