Indie Publishing Success

The indie movement for musicians began immediately after the internet began to be widely used. David Nevue, a leader in this movement, created his first website in 1995 and has been promoting his music online ever since. These musicians take full responsibility for their careers. They pay for all the recording costs and then all the manufacturing costs. It is not uncommon for an initial run of CDs to be 1000-5000 copies. Indie musicians are also quite adept at "grassroots" marketing. Most indie musicians never become a household name but there are thousands and thousands of them that make a full-time living pursuing the craft they love.

While print on demand is useful for an author to get a book in print at nominal costs it is a terrible way to go for someone who wants to make a living as an author. It is just not cost effective and books that are printed that way are not competitively priced when compared to those printed by the big publishers.

It's time for more authors to take their dream of making a living as an author more seriously by committing the funds necessary to print their books in bulk and take the responsibility to promote them. This route provides a much higher profit potential in addition to being able to offer your book at more affordable prices.

I absolutely believe in the ability of independent authors to make a full-time living if that is their dream.

Please share any successes you have had promoting your own book.

Comment by Eliza Earsman on December 31, 2009 at 4:45am: URGENT. Your help is needed. Detroit bomb alert Christmas Day 2009.

Friends,

Your help is needed.

The following interview contains info which was sent - way back in August 2009 - to ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, DIRECTOR OF FBI, USA. Scroll down to MUELLER. His acknowledgement of receipt is retained.

As the details at DETROIT AIRPORT on Christmas Day 2009 verify, he is not acting swiftly on that info!

We are asking therefore that this information be sent to as many local, regional, national and international NEWSPAPER EDITORS as possible, as well as local/international FBI agents. This message can be copied and pasted. Please forward also to individual networks.

Anything to get light through, and serious action taken! Security analysis verified.

Thank you. God Bless.

Eliza.

P.S. I am open to communication from legitimate LITERARY AGENTS who will help further this work. This in turn will free me to be doing more.

Comment by Bill Walker on September 9, 2009 at 12:49pm: Hi everyone,

I know this isn't much notice but if you can be in the Sacramento Area Sept. 19th I would like to invite you to a workshop for writers. It will be a day full of information on how to make a living doing what you love (writing). Information can be found at http://bit.ly/cd7GA.

If money is a huge issue and you would like to go to the seminar, send me a message. I have some complimentary tickets that I can give away.
