This magazine can be contacted by sending the editorial a 'query letter'. This... more...

Information is king. It is what drives the Internet. People have discovered that they can turn to the Internet for answers to questions and solutions to problems. Websites are the most common source of these answers. But sometimes the answers or solutions cannot be found on a website. In those cases they may have to purchase and download an e-Book. These are often in a pdf or exe file format that requires the reader to sit in front of their desktop or laptop computer to read it. If the re... more...

You can have the best book in the world, but if no one knows about it, no one will buy it; publicity, promotion, marketing and a focus on selling more books should now be a big part of your daily life. It's one thing to write a book, but an entirely different thing to write one that's saleable, viable, and marketable. Self publishers need to have a good marketing plan to sell books and should be written prior to writing your book and in place a year prior to publishing your book. more...

There are many great advantages of self publishing an ebook, rather than a traditional print style book. The main advantage has got to be the cost. When you publish a print book, you have to pay the publisher. When you publish your own ebook you are the publisher. When you publish a print book, the publisher always gets a cut of your hard earned money from the books sales. But when you sell each ebook, the profit is 100% yours. There is also no need for printing, packaging, and s... more...
