How To Get Distribution

Distribution can be done a couple of ways, depending on what form you decide to publish in. If you want your book in the stores, you’re going to have to get a distributor.
I use BookSurge.Com. They offer a number of quality options for the self-publisher including setting you up with Amazon.Com, Alibris.Com, and RR Bowker (isbn.org). They can even get my books into libraries and offer worldwide distribution through a number of international distributors.
I don’t recommend going directly to Barnes and Noble, Bookstop, or other large chains because they’re going to kill you on the discount they want. Say you’re retailing a book for $29.95 (the price of this book incidentally). The large chains are going to want a huge discount off the cover price, usually around 50% or more. Figure the book cost you $7 to print and the big retail chain is only paying you $14.97 per sale. You end up only making $7.97.
I say stay away from traditional “hard copy” book distribution until you’re absolutely certain you have a successful book in electronic format.
To sell your e-book is very simple. Go here:

and setup an account. Next go here:

and setup a merchant account.
What do these two things offer you? The first one, MyQuickPayPro offer gives you a fully automated system that handles the back office transactions. When your customer clicks on the “Buy Now” button on your website, this system takes care of the transaction, and sends the customer the link to get their product.
It also gathers information about the customer for you to put in a database, allows you to track where that customer came from, allows you develop auto-responder emails, marketing messages, and a ton of other great resources to help you automate an online business.
