Why
should I participate?
The
purpose for writing and promoting your
publications is two-fold. First, adding
products to your service business enables you
to produce added revenue with limited effort
on your part. Second, written material
adds credibility and provides additional
exposure to the service side of your
business. Your services website will
promote your products, and your products will
promote your services.
Why
e-publishing?
Downloadable products have grown extensively
over the last couple of years. Online
shoppers want the products they need to be
delivered instantly. Consumers are
busier than ever, so they need a conduit to
provide them with top-quality products almost
immediately.
What
can I expect from CareerEpublications.com (AKA
publisher)?
CareerEpublications.com
will promote and solicit sales for each book
through a marketing and advertising
campaign. Authors, however, are expected
to conduct their own marketing and advertising
campaign in conjunction with
CareerEpublications.com to ensure optimal
exposure with favorable results.

will my publication appear?

time, we expect several online and print
publications will feature
CareerEpublications.com and the resources it
contains. We're hopeful that your

wide.
What
other marketing strategies will you utilize to
promote my work?
Before
the website debuted, leads were put in place
to ensure exposure from the start. We
intend to promote your work much like any
other publisher. We will, however, focus
more heavily on online promotions because the
return-on-investment for all parties will be
much greater.
What
other perks can I expect as an author?

a free copy of the new resources offered by
new writers.

often are royalties paid?
Payment
of book sales totaling over $50.00 will be issued
at the end of each quarter.

through March 2004 would be paid to the
author the author by the end of April 2004.
What can I expect for
sales volume of my publication?

difficult to answer because there are too many

collaborative effort between the author and
publisher. Ebook prices will start at
$14.95, whereas, pamphlets may be priced

for processing credit cards, handling, and
warehousing?

experienced from other publishers and online
bookstores because we maintain barebones
overhead.
