Making Money from eBooks

By Jeremy Myers

It is possible to make lots of money selling your eBook. Take Amanda Hocking, for example. She sells about 100,000 copies of her books per month, keeping somewhere around 70% of the sales price. Most of her books sell for about $2.99, so she keeps about $2.09 per book. If this keeps up, she could make about $2.5 million this year.

But let’s be honest. Few of us will ever be Amanda Hocking. In fact, most authors sell fewer than 200 copies of their book. That’s not 200 per month, that’s 200 total. A good number of sales by publishing standards is 5000 copies. If a book sells 10,000 copies, the publishers are thrilled. It is the rare book that sells more than 10,000 copies. [Read more…]

Convert Blog Posts into eBooks

By Jeremy Myers

If you write a blog, you really should consider writing an eBook. Andrew Jones talks about Kindle Singles, and how blog writers should start converting their books into this new format that the traditional publishing industry has generally overlooked.

Also, publishing your blog as an eBook allows book readers to interact with the author, which is something most readers want to do. Do you have a question about something the author said? Go to his blog and ask him! It’s genius. [Read more…]

Kill Church Programs

By Jeremy Myers

How can a church become more missional? Can we change the programs, training seminars, and conferences so they are more effective? Can we rework and tweak them? It might be possible, but I doubt it is worth the effort.

Church programs are like Government programs. They can be reworked, but only with lots of time, energy, and money being wasted. Even then, the end result is usually worse than what we started with. Attempting to retool a program is nearly always more damaging to the church and the people in the program than just flat-out cancelling the program. [Read more…]

Five Reasons eBooks are Better than Paper Books

By Jeremy Myers

I love paper books, and don’t think eBooks will ever fully replace paper books, but there are still good reasons for the growing popularity of eBooks. Here are five:

1. eBooks are easy to carry and move.
My wife and I have enough books to fill 25 bookcases. Packing and unpacking my books is one of the most dreaded aspects of moving. But eBooks would make it easy. Also, if spend any time traveling, you can bring multiple eBooks with you in one device, rather than fill your bag with bulky, heavy books.

2. eBooks are searchable.
Have you ever read something important, and a month later when you want to find it, you just cannot remember where you read it? With an eBook, searching for the information is a breeze. Also, if you want to search your library for certain words or ideas, it is easy to do with eBooks. Not so much with paper books. [Read more…]
