#18. Are you where you’re supposed to be?
We’ve all heard that Smashwords is the one-stop shop
for eBook authors. Well…almost except they don’t have inroads with Amazon and Googlebooks.
But there is one more place that is gaining speed in
the eBook industry. At Penned Con, Mark Coker (Smashwords) said—and other have agreed—that
Scribd.com’s subscription service will be just as popular with eBook as Netflix
has been with movies. Really?
Authors have two choices to have books listed on
Scribd.com. Here’s the link about information on their subscription
service for authors to upload their eBooks directly. Am I the only one coming
to the table late on this?
Of course, if you’re not a do-it-yourselfer than besides
Smashwords, you can also go through Scribd’s other publishing partners—as they
call themselves—INscribed Digital, BookBaby, or Draft2Digital. I briefly checked out these
sites to find out what was it going to cost me and how much they were going to
pay me. I noticed they were not all the same except when it came time to
release payment…still quarterly. I should mention another site that seems to
becoming popular is Bublish.com Mind you,
in the world of eBooks, you can’t leave any stone unturned. Our books have to
be EVERYWHERE, but are you ready for the subscription concept? You have your
homework assignment, now get to researching!
I hope
this post have been a blessing.
