As we get ready to move out of beta for 24PageBooks, we’re already having an epiphany regarding the potential of our brief eBooks on business and lifestyles issues. This came from an accidental exchange with a friend who owns a successful business. She shared some info I sent her with her CTO who, being a CTO, checked me out online and found this blog. He saw a reference to our upcoming title ‘Learn To Market, Fast: Attracting Highly Motivated Customers With Reputation Marketing’ and suggested that they should buy copies for all of their employees.
This, understandably, set off a lightbulb moment. Bulk sales of eBooks could be pretty profitable even at low prices. Later that same day I was getting motivated by looking at the Dummies’ book site (I am fascinated by the success they’ve had selling 400 page books on practically anything whether the subject requires 400 pages or not- 200 million copies sold!) and noticed they prominently feature the fact they they sell white-labeled or privately branded versions of their books in bulk. Yikes! I’m all over that.
This whole thing has a lot of potential…
