I’ve read a lot about ebooks and I’ve blogged many times on how well they work or don’t work etc, etc. Today I found this blog post (see below) and I thought, why worry whether it works or doesn’t work, we should all just be doing it. The post gives detailed information on how to get your ebook out and then there are multiple comments from other people offering great insight. Here are two things that impressed me. First of all, the author sold 30 copies in 20 days. That’s great. Sure, he had some problems and he returned some, but 30 copies in 20 days, that’s over $300 in sales with no variable printing and shipping costs. The second thing that impressed me was that half of his ebook sales were by customers outside of the US. He attributes this to a better acceptance of ebooks overseas. I’ve spent a lot of time outside the US and this author may be on to something. To read his article, click on the link.
