Q: I am a Publisher/Publicist/Author-Promoter and would like to advertise our Books and Authors on your website. What are your terms?
A: We welcome such opportunities and your authors get good publicity with low costs. If you have several books to advertise we could also provide a separate exclusive section to host all your books. You can earn a referral fee by introducing your authors and get their books advertised with us. We could also explore discounts for bulk and continuous business. Contact us anytime.
Q: Will you allow changes and modifications for our advertisements later?
A: Yes. We do allow reasonable modifications and updates without any extra charges. But, there could be some time delays for making the modifications. However, if there are major changes it will be classified as a new advertisement and full charges are expected. Or, if there is a time bound advertisement we will remove if you inform us. However, the fee is not refundable.
Q: Do we need to send you a sample copy of the books being advertised?
A: Not necessary. But we would love to receive a free autographed copy mailed to the above address if you can spare a copy.
Q: Will I see an increase in book sales after advertising?
A: Maybe yes, maybe no is the honest answer. It is very difficult to predict the success of a book, even an extremely well written one. Always remember - Writing a book is a passion, Selling it is a business. Do not mix the two. Publishing a book is relatively easy, but making it sell is the hard part. It also depends on the book subject. For example, if you have written a very complex book that only very few people can understand, then you will probably sell only two or three copies in its lifetime. Alternatively, if you write a highly useful book that has wide audience, then you may sell thousands of copies a day. Secondly, less than 2% of the world's population read books as a hobby. As you walk on the streets you see people carrying mobiles, mp3 players, cigarettes, walkmans, etc. But very rarely will you see people carrying or reading a good book.
Q: So how do I promote my book?
An author has to relentlessly and shamelessly promote his or her book to the intended audience it was written for. Very rarely will a book sell on its own. If you are shy about promoting your book it will die a quick death. However, the more places your book is visible you have more chances of it becoming popular.
Q: Can we put your website details and link on our websites ?
A: Absolutely. We would appreciate if you mention our website details on your websites.
