Current spotlight on the Second Edition (June 2021) of the Complete Guide to the Book Publishers' World of Special Sales (Kindle and softcover). The worldwide book market generates almost $90 billion annually, and more than half of those sales are made in non-bookstore outlets such as discount stores, airport shops, gift stores, supermarkets, and warehouse clubs. How to Make Real Money Selling Books provides a proven strategy for selling books to these enterprises. You will learn about developing a product strategy, conducting test marketing, contacting prospective buyers, promoting your product, selling to niche markets, and much, much more.  

Want a profitable book? Quality of content is a necessary but not sufficient attribute for success. It must also have interested buyers, reader value (priced properly), good marketing strategy and a place for people to buy it

“I think everyone did a very good job in presenting the information at the APSS workshop.  I was impressed with the amount of new information about the publishing business of which I had previously no clue.  I was able to follow everything, and it made sense to me.”
