Once an author gets a following and becomes very popular it really makes sense to switch to writing more eBooks. Why? Well it is simple you make more money in royalties. In fact a really popular writer can make a deal to receive 75% to 85% or more on even the most popular Internet eBook Publisher or Distribution Site. Commonly eBook authors make 50% of the amount collected on the eBooks they sell on the most popular distribution sites. Recently I was able to negotiate 65% split on my share of the royalties of my next eBook, along with free editing for spelling and sentence structure. This negotiation was able to be accomplished for a couple of reasons. First, I have now achieved semi status as a writer by becoming the Most Prolific online article writer on the Internet in the history of mankind and secondly because I am able to write on unique subjects and popular topics as a veteran in my Industry. As a published author and online writer I have a little bit of pull in this regard and yet imagine the amount of pull for a famous writer. An extremely well-known writer could be beneficial to an online eBook distributor website. In fact if I can negotiate a 65% split due to my small contributions and having only been in business of writing for 16 months, imagine what a super star writer or author could negotiate? Consider all this in 2006. |
