In america alone, there are thousands of books and guides that have been self published by the authors themselves. Authors find it really challenging in finding suitable markets and distribution channels for their well written books.
This is where you come in … You will have to provide this authors a service, by starting up a website dedicated to promoting and selling self published books and guides.
You should categorize this websites into different sections to avoid confusion for visitors. Example of sections can be business books, self-help books, cooking books, computer books and so on. I hope you are following me.
You can also provide this books in ebook formats … this will allow the customer to download the books from your website once they have purchased it … They should also be able to purchase the printed format … Depending on the author.
You dont have to stock up on the books ….. This will reduce all the warehousing headaches and such. What you have to do is establish an automatic email response system. Each time a book is purchased … an email will be sent out to the author with the shipping details and customer information.
To make money with a website like this …. you can split revenue with the authors. You can also get someone to write you a book that you can feature constantly. Its not as hard as you think … and you get to keep the full profits to yourself. Dont forget that you can make money from selling advertising .. Just try not to litter your website with it.
