About this ebook
You may be writing and selling your books through independent eBook websites, but that business is slowing down. I have found ways of selling these ebooks, paperbacks, hard cover books and software through offline sales channels.
This book shows you how to create the offline sales distribution channels to recover more sales and make a few extra dollars.
It shows you how to configure a website to broaden your sales experience and it shows you how to drive traffic to your web site without the time consuming task of schmoozing on sites like Facebook or Twitter. I don’t have time for idle surfing and neither do you.
This book closes the gap between having to deal with social sites and online mass distributors. You can sell more books and get paid directly in advance of the sale, even if the book is an ebook. For paperbacks and hard covers, there is no packaging or shipping involved.
You are free to write and write while PayPal deposits your sales directly into your bank account. And best of all, you know who bought your book.

CHAPTER 1 THE CONCEPT
The concept is simple. You have a nonexclusive license to sell your books and your software. Sell your eBooks offline and have the buyers download your books or your software from your own website. How do you do that? Simply market them at the local booksellers around town.
Let me make one thing clear. Selling your eBooks offline means selling
, not delivering. The delivery is done online.
It is possible to sell and deliver offline by having the book file on a media device and handing the book over to the customer on a CD at the time of sale.
If we look a bit deeper into the concept, you can offer the books or the software for sale with a split commission of anywhere from 50% to 75% for the bookstore. The online books on your website become inventory for the book seller.
Does 60% to 75% seem too high for the bookstore, just leaving you with 25% to 40% profit? Think again. Bookstores are considered brick and mortar
retail outlets. That means they have to pay rent in order to stay in business.
Town taxes and employee payroll are an issue. While the online booksellers have the same employee payroll issues, the larger ones are usually selling many thousands of books per day, worldwide.
Protecting yourself and your inventory as well as tracking sales is easy, but you must have a system of checks and balances which are described in this book.
Are you tired of watching and waiting for your books to sell at the websites where you put them up for sale? Ever wish you could take an active role in getting sales by controlling the distribution? Ever wish you had an outlet for the nifty software that you have written? This book holds the solution.
This works for both software, eBooks and Paperbacks, but the eBooks and the software are far more difficult to control.
This book provides all the information you will need in order to establish your own private website for the sale and distribution of eBooks over the Internet.
Information is also provided enabling you to contact me in case you need assistance in accomplishing this goal.
There is a list of procedures you are advised to follow in the process of establishing your business and personal distribution channels.
If you’re wondering why I have written this book, it’s clear that there is enough out there for all of us.
I come from a long line of technical marketing experience. Competition is healthy. If you have an idea and no one ever heard of it, it can be the kiss of death.
In that spirit, you can also get this one rolling. You can collaborate with the little mom and pop bookstores in your area. It’s risk free for them and for you. The eBooks take no inventory or shelf space.
Chapter 2 talks about the proper order of tasks and how to plan the business. It’s important to identify your objectives before you begin, otherwise you get sidetracked.
Chapter 3 talks about how to develop your mom and pop book distributors. The goal is to put your ebooks books out for sale on the street. People will pay to download books if they know the bookstore they are dealing with.
