How eBooks Fit the Self-Published Picture
Authors who self-publish their work can benefit from eBooks, and they can play a valuable role in the promotional mix. When you learn strategies for how to market your book, you'll see the value of offering an eBook. The exact online booksellers sell them and add very little to your cost of producing the book. When you need to excite an algorithm to get your book recommended to more people, running a deeply discounted eBook download promotion helps. Whatever the price, a download counts as a "book sale" and makes it appear you have worthwhile sales momentum.

Like audiobooks, eBooks have a devoted following, although it is a small percentage of the overall market. To many people's surprise, printed books continue to command about 80 percent of the market. Therefore, the other forms are valuable when they play into promotional strategies. Many authors read the audio versions of their books, and it automatically makes sound bites that can be used in various ways. Successful books today require marketing support underpinned by a well-developed plan. That's why learning about each one and its value in the promotional process versus your needs is valuable.

One thing eBooks do concretely is make buying your book accessible to more people because they are generally priced lower. Just as the traditional model has expensive hardcover books released first, followed by cheaper paperbacks, eBooks provide a lower-cost alternative for fans who may need to purchase a lower-priced version. Also, offering an eBook is unlikely to significantly affect paper copy sales because people overwhelmingly buy paper copies by choice. Regardless of which format, the good news is that book sales are robust. But doing well requires overcoming fierce competition.

You can also enhance your eBook with add-ons. One example that comes to mind is children's books, where electronic versions have interactive features. If you go that route, you may change a premium for the electronic version and promote it as unique. If you're a novelist, it may not be as helpful as it will to authors in other genres that lend themselves easily to the possibilities. Imagine a cookbook with demonstrations of specific complicated recipes. It's a way to educate your audience in ways that are tough to do, relying entirely on printed words. Take a product-oriented approach to thinking about your book.
