APSS - Association of Publishers for Special Sales

 Book Selling University is back!

APSS, Bowker and IngramSpark bring you a monthly series of free, book-marketing webinars. Each will occur on the fourth Wednesday of the month beginning at 7:00 pm ET.

     Our inaugural event is Self-Publishing 101 presented by Josh Floyd, president of Ingram Spark. It will be held on May 25. This webinar will include a description of the Best Practices for IngramSpark’s Self-Publishing Platform. Whether you’ve got a finished manuscript—or merely an inkling for a best seller—navigating the path of self-publishing can seem like a daunting task. However, with the right tools, content, marketing, and distribution strategies in place, being successful is a lot more achievable than it sounds.

     Josh will offer insights on using the IngramSpark platform for Print-on-Demand and Distribution through Ingram Book Company, considerations for preparing your book for market and advice for pricing your books for specific markets, and finally, best practices for success to the Retail Market.

You are not selling to corporations or even through stores. You are marketing to people. Creatively interpret their needs so you understand the problems they want to solve. Then show them how your content meets their needs better than competitive products.
