World Of eBook

Through the evolution of my site, I have made sure to take a look at my counterparts and competitors. Apart from learning plenty… something always seemed a little odd to me – there was never any evidence of a direct link or relationship between the creator of the material the site/store was trying to sell (i.e. the eBook Author) and the site/site designer. I’m not saying that this link is fundamental for the success of an eBook store but it will definitely strengthen your site and provide a source of fresh and new material to promote (which is what every store owner wants).

So I decided to investigate a system by which an Author can go to a site and upload material for review and possible inclusion. It would then be up to you as site-master or store owner to decide on the relevance of the material for your site, agree terms with the Author and promote it in your store. Simple as that.

Well, within a week, I had found, installed and configured an Author’s sign-up area. Through it, an Author can :

login to an account or register to setup an account

(here is the registration page)

administer their account while in the Members Area

upload their material (software, eBook…)

All this was possible for a measly $20 investment. I have the feature live now for about 2 weeks and so far I have included the material from 5 Authors in my store who have used the facility… so it’s definitely proving popular for Authors and providing the potential for increased earnings from my store. Here, take a look at my Authors Area.
