How to Profitably Self-Publish and Sell Your Own Book(s) to Your Educational Colleagues
How to Profitably SelfPublish and Sell Your Own Book to Your Educational Colleagues - s Author:Gordon Burgett There's an excellent, profitable way for school administrators to write books (and more) for their educational colleagues that puts the control of the book, its title, its distribution, and its many reuses directly in their hands-and to have the book out in a few months rather than years. That's to avoid the slow, labyrinthine, low-paying proces... more »s of going through standard publishers and niche publish it themselves. This report explains the niche book concept, suggests the kinds of topics that work best, provides a link for a comparison of selling by the standard vs niche means, and then directs the doers to the two key books that will walk them through each step of the niche-publishing process. Most important, this report takes the administrator through the first, and most important, step through the use of a current case study of an educational book, What Every Superintendent and Principal Needs to Know. By doing that step, the reader can test the marketability of their book idea before they write a word or spend much money. That way the administrator will spend several weeks to first see if their book (once produced) will be bought rather than spending months or years preparing a book that may have no buying appeal. If the test proves positive, the reader can then let the two books suggested take them through the final steps of preparation, production, and promotion. The knowledge the administrator will gain from the report will open up the possibility of very profitable publishing (as the case study will show) to any person who sincerely wishes to write a book and see it in print soon. It will also open up the prospect of creating a much fuller publishing (or other information dissemination means) career for themselves, members of their family, or others with whom they may wish to partner.« less
