I, Mary I. Oliver,
(Author's Pen Name 'Clark Night') have worked with publisher
CreateSpace for a few years. Book sales, total profits continue to
grow every year! The publisher advertises,
sells and distributes my books free, no charge to the author in the
USA, Europe and other Countries. They taught me how to format a manuscript,
create front and back book covers, content-index, proofread the book on-line and in
print. Many other tools are available. 'Cover Creator' provides a
variety formats, designs, text. The author may buy low cost single or bulk
copies of their books below bookstore price and re-sell or just let
Amazon do all the selling. CreateSpace does all of this for FREE! And you may publish many books, unlimited. I preserve Antique Public Domain books by an Ophthalmologist, other doctors, authors and create my own books. CreateSpace taught me how to set up an Amazon Authors Page. USA; Click Here Europe; Click Here. More pages have been created for other countries. The Author is allowed to post videos, pictures of their work, book descriptions, list all their books, state opinions, defend against competitors, post Twitter, Blog posts... Video internal view of your book can be created to compliment the Amazon.com 'Look Inside' Tool. You can keep track of book sales, new books, movies.., subjects people prefer to read, the public's interests, life style, heritage... in various locations in the USA and worldwide in your CreateSpace account and on the Amazon.com Authors' page.
Here's a Snapshot of a Months Sales From the Amazon Authors Page by Geography, USA;
Note many sales in Utah and surrounding states. One of my customers referred our books to neighbors, friends. Same thing in the Northeast, New York. (and countries not shown here.) New reports show more and more states. After your paperback is done, CreateSpace will offer to send you to Kindle where you may create a copy of your paperback to be sold, viewed on Kindle reading devices. I converted a copy of every book to Kindle and set it for sale in countries available; US, Canada, UK, Germany, India, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia... That more than doubles monthly sales; total Paperback and Kindle. This is a way to reach people of all nationalities. My subject is self-help. The particular subject is not well know so I haven't earned a million dollars yet, but other authors that write fiction, entertainment, true life stories... have made over 1 million sales! One such lady wrote a book on humming birds. I will be branching out to other subjects, comic books, movies, audios in the future. Might partner with a childhood friend. I recently saw our book advertised on the Wal-Mart Website! Amazon said that is probably by one of the many book sellers that buy author's books from CreateSpace in bulk or advertise, then order by Print On Demand from CreateSpace. Learn more, exchange ideas at the Author's Community website and other CreateSpace 'How To' websites! A variety of marketing, advertising, customer service training is available.
I will post a video soon as I move through
the process LIVE inside CreateSpace showing how to create a
book, it's cover, set price, countries, stores, then off to
the Kindle page.
