Is 6% of the total income gained by a book that is published online a fair deal?

Ashley MacKenzie: Six percent of total income, or of total net profit? Is it an e-book only offer? The lack of details makes this difficult to answer.

Michael Mammay: That's a ridiculously low amount if you wrote the book. If you're a short story in an anthology, that's much more reasonable. E book only rates range from 25% of receipts (big-5) to 50% (some small presses) to 70% (Self-pubbed on Amazon with a price of $1.99 or higher)

Margaret Owen: Yeah, I agree, and the way it’s phrased as “total income gained” is also a red flag to me. That seems to leave room for non-standard parts of the calculation — e.g. refusing to pay royalties until the book’s sales pay for its marketing budget. Royalties should be presented as a percentage of sales, end of story.

Jim O'Donnell: Crazy. Amazon gives 70 or 75% of digital sales and the lowest I’ve seen from publishers on digital sales is 25%, and I want to emphasize that is the low end. This questioner dude (ambiguously-gendered-dude) needs to come up with a creative way to say no (dude is a writer, they should be able to come up with something witty) then report the publisher to Predators and Editors.

Elle Jauffret: 1) “Total income” is too vague to answer that question. Royalties should be calculated on gross/net revenues, price per unit, or fixed amount (there can be variations including minimum sale amount, etc...). 2) Is the writer the book’s originator/creator or the book’s ghost writer?3) Was an advance given?4) Best way to know is to check the standard contracts from recognized publishers (when/if available) and/or to talk to an attorney.

Sheena Boekweg: Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. Run away.

Long time, no post. Things have been kind of crazy for me lately, what with the holidays and some health issues, and the long and short of it is, I am broke.

I have been considering, for a very long time, the idea of writing and selling fiction (specifically erotica) online, and would be interested in hearing from people who have done so. I think it would have to be original fiction; as much as I love writing fanfic, I don’t want to mess with someone else’s IP, both for legal and moral reasons. I do in fact have several ideas in mind for an original series.

What I’m most interested in hearing about is, what sites do you recommend? Should I go with Patreon? How does Ko-fi work? What about Amazon or e-publishing in general? Would people actually be willing to PAY me for my writing? Is that even VIABLE?!?

So ... uh ... yeah. Basically, my anxiety and depression are making this seem a lot more daunting than it probably is, and I would really appreciate it if someone would mind holding my hand a bit through this and giving me advice and suggestions. Please and thank you.

Everything You Need to Know About Digital Publishing Solutions

We are providing the best digital publishing solutions and digital publishing platforms to the world. When one talks about digital publishing, e-books, and blogs are usually the first things that come to mind. But you might be surprised to see all the forms of digital publishing and media out there. Since the beginning, digital publishing has expanded quickly and developed into a format that can compete with print publication.

What is digital publishing?

Digital publishing Solutions, its broadest definition, refers to the computer-mediated exchange of media. To make the meaning better clear, we can review the precise meanings of “digital” and “media” as follows.

Digital: Digital refers to a broad category that includes everything that is linked to a computer. Your tablet, cell phone, laptop, and voice-activated devices are all examples of digital channels used to share media.

Media: Any means of conveying a message, whether it be letters paper, or hieroglyphics on Egyptian monuments, is called media. More precisely, there are many different types of digital media, such as audio, video games, books, movies, mobile apps, and photos.

Benefits of Digital Publishing Solution

Now let’s discuss the news. How do you stay updated on the most recent events involving celebrities, presidential elections, or scientific advancements in medicine? Thirty years ago the obvious answer to our question would be through the media. Now you would answer that you get your news from smartphone applications or early TV shows.

With 3.98 billion people using the internet today, it is impossible to dispute the huge impact of technological breakthroughs. Traditional publishing methods are no longer as popular. Most people would agree that this change is beneficial!

1. Wider audience

Traditional printing technologies limit publishing to specific distribution points. Online publishing, on the other hand, reaches billions of active Internet users worldwide and appeals to the appropriate audience.

Digital publishing solutions travel with all users. As people become more reliant on technology and convenience, putting your content on mobile is a very influential factor for businesses to be aware of. As of 2021, there were approximately 6 billion mobile users worldwide, which is projected to grow to 8.3 billion by 2027. This number is much higher than the hundreds or thousands – or sometimes millions – of people reached through traditional methods.

2. More Engagement

The goal of sharing any content is to keep the audience's interest for as long as possible. Consumers are accustomed to ignoring the clutter of pointless pop-ups, confusing site navigation, and irrelevant advertising.

By eliminating clutter, digital publishing provides a great user experience that keeps readers engaged and more receptive to your calls-to-action (CTAs).

In contrast, many people today don’t feel like they have finished something because they spend so much time looking at and updating their social media feeds. People feel dissatisfied, questions go unanswered, and valuable time is wasted.

Digital publications eliminate these feelings. With simple and engaging information provided through multimedia such as engaging text, videos, and infographics, engaging information is achieved.

3. More Access to All Audiences                 

Be aware of the variety of new users interacting with your material as you migrate to the internet. It's acceptable if certain members of your audience cannot see, hear, move, speak, or understand as well as others.

Digital publishing enables the sharing of knowledge via various mediums to engage all audiences, including those with impairments. If the majority of your publications are text-based, consider adding:

Audio.

Informational videos.

Visualized graphics.

Easy-to-use features.

Traditional printing restricts these choices and excludes a sizable audience that your information may help.

4. Increased ROI

Both publishing and printing used to be expensive. While it is true that creating and producing any kind of content costs money, digital publishing ultimately saves a significant amount of money:

Diminishing print costs: Printing is not a free service. Your material can cost thousands to print and bind, not to mention the hundreds or thousands of dollars it costs to print it in advance for processing and proofreading.

Reduced publishing costs: As we mentioned, digital content attracts customers to your business. Marketing is an integral part of every publishing process, but it costs a lot more when used with traditional publishing methods.

Saving shipping costs: Unless your user purchases a physical copy of your digital magazine, you won’t have to worry about delivery charges. Helping them save space, consumers already have a mobile copy that they can carry with them anytime and anywhere.

The more you engage with digital publishing, the more you will benefit. Since these results are available online, you can track accurate data and see where you are saving money and in which areas you can save more.

E-Publishing Guide: Navigating the Future of Digital Publishing

E-publishing is one of the fastest-growing trends in the world of digitalization. Day by day, more and more print publishing businesses, as well as companies with a high volume of moving documents, are switching from print publication to electronic. There is a growing demand for Epub resources in the education sector as well. 

What is E-Publishing?

Electronic publishing, commonly referred to as e-publishing, is the process of creating, distributing, and consuming digital content in various electronic formats. It encompasses producing electronic books (e-books), online magazines, digital newspapers, and other forms of digital literature.

Growth of E-Publishing:

The e-publishing industry has seen a remarkable evolution since the dawn of the computer age. So much so that it is entirely realistic to envision a world with no paper books being published at all within the next few decades.

Over the years, e-publishing has expanded to include not just books but all forms of written content, including: In the years, e-publishing has evolved to not only mean digitally published books but any form of written material such as;

⦁    Magazines and Journals: Web magazines, or those that are entirely on the internet, differ from print magazines in that they have multimedia features, thus more alive.

⦁    Self-Publishing Platforms: Some examples of the platforms are KDP, Smashwords, and Wattpad, among others, that give the authors the chance to publish without a company of publishing.

⦁    Blogs and Websites: With an internet connection, anyone can write a blog post or anyone can own a blog site, and they can spread their opinion to the whole world for a very cheap price.

Types of E-Publishing:

Books come in many different shapes and sizes. Lightweight paperbacks provide easy transport, while hardbound books round out personal libraries. E-books are a less traditional format and save space and money in the long run. E-books can be published in a variety of formats, and Xlibris can transform your book into many of them.

Conclusion:

Digital transformation has influenced many business areas, and the publishing sector is not an exception. People are switching to digital media due to its ease of access and comprehension.
