Many of our clients have told us that it's not easy to sell your books online.
You may have spent hundreds of dollars on creating a website to sell your book, yet found there was almost no return on your investment. The fact is that people are not really very likely to buy books through an author's website; they prefer instead to buy through big online stores like Amazon.com.
Some of the reasons for this preference are :
- Security concerns with online transactions,
- Smoother ordering and receiving process with a large store, and
- Lack of online traffic to individual sites because they are not well-known.
In response to our clients' frustration with the problem of getting their books into stores, and into the public eye, Publishing Gurus has decided to create a
We'll help you showcase your books by providing you with direct links to many different online stores, at a ONE-TIME PRICE. No part of your royalties will ever go to Publishing Gurus, nor will we ever charge you any monthly or annual fees. With just a modest ONE-TIME FEE, your book will be in our Showcase Web Store forever! (We do, of course, incur monthly hosting and maintenance charges to run this site. These fees will help us sustain the Store for at least the next five years).
Through our Store, we can help you, as a new author, bring your book to the notice of readers who visit our site. They will be able to choose to buy from several of the biggest
and
best-known online stores, according to their preference - provided only that you, as the author, have already
submitted your book or e-book to these stores.
You'll receive a brief editorial review of your book, and a place for your readers to post their comments and critiques. As our Store grows, and attracts more traffic, your book reviews will catch the eye of many more potential readers!
Publishing Gurus does not compromise on quality. Although our matchless
editing and designing services will continue to be generally available, we wish to clarify that only the best books will be accepted for our Showcase Web Store.
Our long-range plan is to offer a collection of books that will also be available in "regular brick and mortar" bookstores, as well as through the large online booksellers.
