Top 10 Digital Publishing Tips

#1: Understand Pricing

Your pricing should be dynamic. Pay attenting to the best selling books in other categories to determine your price.

#2: Try 99 Cent Pricing

Although you get a lower commission from Amazon, this is a great price point to offer to people when you want reviews without going free.

#3: Hire a Professional Proofreader

It’s hard to catch your own writing mistakes. Hire a professional proofreader instead.

#4: Read It on Digital Devices

Preview your ebook on as many digital devices as you can. Make sure it looks exactly the way it should.

#5: Include Teasers for Your Website

Always point your ebook reader to more useful information on your website.

Tip #6: Make Your Samples Pack a Punch

Many digital bookstores offer the first few pages for free to interested buyers. Make sure your first few pages make an impact and inspire a download.

#7: Save Time – Outsource Formatting

You can use places like Fiverr or Elance to find people to format your ebooks to the appropriate specifications.

#8: Target Peripheral Markets

Build on what you’ve got. Target peripheral markets in subsequent books. What other books are people buying when they buy your book?

#9: Build A List

Offer something of value on the first few pages in exchange for an email address. Your list will be important as you grow your readership and your business.

#10: Know Your Numbers

Check your reports and use them to understand what’s working and what’s not. Do more of what does.
