Passion Profit

The fact that you can finish a piece of work and have it published and ready for sale in a matter of a day. The photo archives online make it possible to come up with inexpensive cover designs and voila…you have your book ready for the world. Author/Publisher/Journalist, Donna Kakonge, has published 38 books. You too can take full advantage of the ease of publishing online. Now Amazon Kindle is also available worldwide and it is very easy to publish there as well. E-books are really where the future is at, however there is nothing quite like cracking open a finished book and having it in your hand to read.

Preparing Your Book Project

It is important to have your books formatted properly. If you know programs such as Adobe InDesign, this can be extremely easy to do. Make sure your books have page numbers and headers, or footers. As well, look for stories everywhere. You can even start your own business working on other people's stories in your local area. Once you feel you have conquered your area, then you can spread your business out to the world.

Places to Publish

With places such as Lulu.com, you get your own online store. Mine is http://stores.lulu.com/kakonged. You can always buy books from there at a discount and sell them for a profit. This is something I plan to do at The Word on the Street Festival in Toronto for September of 2010. You can offer special discounts for books that you sell yourself. I give a special discount for books bought through me, as well you would not need to worry about shipping. Encouragement to those in the States though – shipping costs are actually very good in the U.S. with Lulu.com. Now Lulu.com also offers mailing options to Canada, as well as many other places. Because of its international focus, you can have buyers from all around the world. Lulu.com also offers many specials such as writing contests where you encourage buyers to receive 10 per cent off the books. Around special holidays, there are also many specials where your buyers can receive up to 20 per cent off.
