PDF ebook publishing can easily be put into motion for anyone who has devised a niche based ebook that they desire to market. Once you have created a niche driven eBook, you should consider creating a hub or launch page in order to market and sell the ebook from. This is best described by creating a single webpage that features either the title or your eBook’s main keywords in the domain name listing.

You should then place information on your single webpage about your ebook including what it is about, what it covers and even excerpts from the content. You can even offer a free sample chapter of the contents on this hub page to entice visitors to your website to purchase your ebook.

Additionally, you should create or obtain real quotes and reviews about your ebook. You can do this by giving your ebook away for free to a few people to review in exchange for a quote or review. You can then place this on your website in order to further entice readers into purchasing your ebook.

PDF ebook publishing is best done on your own if you desire to make the most possible money. You can then further market the ebook by creating articles about the topic covered in your ebook and then by submitting them to article directories and ezines. You can then place a link to your website and main sales page in a bio at the bottom of these articles. This is a great way to generate leads through marketing in order to drive web traffic to your hub page where you will sell your ebook online.

Ebooks are going to change the economics of the publishing industry, and change them faster than anyone imagined. The main driver of this change will be the sudden proliferation of devices that display electronic books. Until very recently, ereading was limited to a few early reading devices and reading documents on the computer. Then smart phones like the Apple iPhone, mainstream readers like the Amazon Kindle, and tablet computing devices like the Apple iPad became popular. These devices are easy to read, easy to carry, and hold libraries of books.

Very soon, most people you know will have at least one and probably two convenient ways to read electronic books. They will take them on the plane or vacation to save space. They will read books in waiting rooms and the DMV because they can buy the book while they wait. They will read the books friends email them. As a result, the demand for electronic reading will soar.

The prices for eBooks will also fall. The cost of distributing electronically is trivial compared to the cost of printing, storing, shipping, displaying, and ringing up a physical book. So when a book is sold electronically instead of as a physical book, publishers and distributors make much larger margins. This won’t last.

Publishers will of course try to keep the prices for electronic version in line with prices for print versions, but they will ultimately fail. Publishing is a competitive business, and someone will start to lower prices to grab market share. Eventually the prices on most titles will fall. This is already happening now. I regularly pick up free electronic books by new authors and deeply discounted electronic versions of best sellers from just a couple of years ago. Eventually, if you want to sell a new book, you will discount the electronic version.

The new economics of publishing will not necessarily bad for authors. Authors typically make between 10-15% on a sale, depending on their royalty rate and the effects of discounting. So on a $20 physical book an author makes $2-3.

If that same author wants to make $3 for an electronic version of the same book, what could she price it at? Perhaps $3.05 is she distributes herself. Or $4.50 if a distributor takes a 33% cut. Regardless of the price that electronic books ultimately fall to, I suspect authors will make about the same per sale.

More books will be sold too. When a book costs as much as a latte and is easy to buy, carry, and store, it will be a much easier impulse buy. I already buy eBooks and several times the rate I bought printed books. It is hard to resist when they are so cheap and I can buy while I am waiting for a meeting to start. So look for an revolution in publishing.
