Authors Harness the Power of the Internet with CyberRead
September 16, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
The newly re-launched site, www.cyberread.com, gives writers of all kinds the ability to sell their eBooks and print books in the rapidly expanding global digital marketplace. Listing books in CyberRead's popular retail site is free for content authors who share profits with the company when customers buy online. Uniquely, CyberRead now offers authors the ability to sell print books and up to 13 formats of eBooks side by side in a single unified catalog. While the eBook edition will be downloaded from cyberread.com, the author will receive immediate notification of each sale and will ship the print books from their inventory. Optionally, writers can take advantage of CyberRead's print-on-demand services through its subsidiary eBookStand.com.
"We listened to our customers and they wanted more control,' stated Marilyn Jenkins, President and CEO of CyberRead. "We have created a global marketplace that provides authors the ability to manage their own content in real time.' On the new site CyberRead's publishing partners can upload, edit and manage their content to allow faster distribution to the readers. CyberRead's powerful distribution process is now in their hands, which means readers are getting the latest titles available.
"I went through two publishers and a literary agent before I found you. You are a veritable diamond in a coal mine. Thank you!" stated Angelo Sciulli, Author of Challenging Nature Photography.
Authors can also earn a Bonus Royalty of up to an additional 10% by using CyberRead's new Referral Program. When an author registers they are given a web link with a unique identifier. If they use this link to send customers to CyberRead for their purchase then the author earns up to 10% of that sale. "This is an affiliate program on steroids. We appreciate it when our authors send customers to us and we now have a method of saying thank you' said Jenkins. Authors can track their Bonus Royalties directly from their account online.
For increased exposure for their titles, CyberRead also offers advertising opportunities to content producers who sell through the new site. Banner ads, newsletter classifieds and home page listings are available. These new benefits combined with a strategic marketing campaign to bring more readers to CyberRead, increase revenues to authors.
