How to make a FORTUNE and Keep it!

Let’s talk about Erika Leonard…
 

Erika who? You might ask! Erika Leonard is a British author who goes by the pseudonym E. L. James and is known for her bestselling “Fifty Shades” trilogy. However, E. L. James didn’t quite have her books flying off the racks of bookstores or Amazon at the early stages of her career. Probably, none of the bookstores or Amazon even stocked these books.

E.L. James, amongst others, is perhaps one of those authors that didn’t wait for an agent to sign her up. She is a self-published author and initially distributed and sold her books as an e-book and also as paperback issues by using a Print on Demand service. Similarly, there are several other successful self-published authors such as Hugh Howey, Amanda Hocking, Lisa Genova, Michael J. Sullivan and K.A Tucker. Some have even had their books printed in their basement. And there are those without a big basement that printed their books solely on demand.

Print on Demand is, as the name goes, simple. To make it even more simple, imagine you are working from home through the pandemic and have run out of ink and paper on the printer. It’s close to midnight and some important physical documents have to reach your client. Most of us would have an anxiety attack but there is no reason to sweat. All you ought to do is find a Print on Demand service, transfer the files online, get it printed as per your custom needs and have them shipped to your client. Now, that’s quite easy!

But behind this seemingly easy process, lies an abundance of technology. Right from the time you share files, to mention a few, technology ensures the safety and security of your documents, printing sans any human intervention and auto purging your document post the print run. Technology has catapulted POD services to another dimension. Coupled with cloud services and online editors, not just self-published authors but students, teachers, lawyers and corporates can benefit from these services. POD completely overhauls the way one looks at the traditional publishing industry.

Some of the benefits of POD services are,

  1.  POD is economical as the cost involved is limited to printing and shipping only, while the drastic reduction in wastage and shredding makes it an environmentally friendly choice.
  2.  Print on Demand allows for customization, also known as accessible publishing. Print matter can be personalized to various sizes and formats. For example, books or documents can be printed for the visually impaired or with reading disabilities. 
  3.   No minimum print quantity. Print as you need!
  4.  No more warehousing.
  5.  Quicker Turn-Around-Time.
  6.  Eliminates obsolescence as the print run is only to the market need.
  7.  Never an out of stock situation.
  8.  Super-fast shipping to locations all over the globe.
