Psychic Wisdom On Love And Relationships Analysis

Decent Essays
When I started my journey to write my book, “Psychic Wisdom on Love and Relationships,” I thought that I would go with a traditional publisher. I even bought a book on writing a non-fiction book proposal and started to work on it. I got really stuck on writing sample chapters. “How in the world am I going to give an outline on something that I haven’t even written? I might as well write the chapter,” I thought to myself.

In a non-fiction Linkedin group someone mention Smashwords. I looked at their website and my gut knew this was the way to go. It was started because Mark Conklin had trouble getting a publisher to pick up his book. He knew it was good and decided to do it himself and help other Indie authors. My, how it has grown!

I have nothing against Amazon or any other company that supports the Indie author. My books are there for the convenience of my readers. I have shopped at Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. The analogy I use for Amazon is they are like Walmart, while Smashwords is your local grocery store.

Here are some reasons I Love Smashwords:
…show more content…
I desire because I am only so techie.

They offer a ton of useful, how to information for the Indie author on their site.

I can send them an email and they get back to me very quickly. Other companies I can’t even find a contact address.

At Smashwords I can generate a coupon to offer for everyone, a special event, or to a client. I can’t do that with other eBook distributers.

And the number one reason is I feel valued and important there.

So please visit my Smashwords author page and read my interview aka another perk. While you are there check out some of the authors I left reviews for. In fact investigate the whole site.

Harlequin series readers were brand loyal; four of five readers would continue to purchase their product from a survey conducted.

Harlequin organized with a consistent quality product, standing orders, predictable retail patterns and was able to offer books at a low costs to customers. Overall, Harlequin retained a value, their unique distribution channel, and retained their rights that were hard to copy for competitors as well as having brand loyalty.…

    5. Email Provides Intimacy Indeed, for most of my elite subscribers, email was better than the forums because of the promise that the correspondence would stay secret and intimate, so that a subscriber could also voice their concerns without having others read them.
