If you want to publish a book then you probably already know that the book publishing industry is undergoing massive changes, and they really can be in your favor.

For years now many of us have quietly targeted and sold self-published books into hungry niche markets where demand to buy our books online is sometimes quite crazy!

You have seen the feeding frenzy sharks have when they sense blood in the water, targeting your own self published book properly within hungry markets can have the same effect.

With more than 12 self-published books using the system we share with others at InfoMarketer’sZone, first time writers are finding that the opportunity the internet brings when you publish a book makes it possible for any of you to sell thousands of copies of your own book or ebook keeping most of the profits unlike traditional publishing models.

Case in point, here is a great blog report of a group of women who quickly put together a compilation of travel stories called “Wild Writing Women: Stories of World Travel” – and here is a very interesting point about their experience publishing a book:

Mid-level authors already know that the era of large advances, generous royalties, book tours and media spots are over. They have to spend their own time and money to create a website and publicize their books. Publishers just don’t have the resources to offer them full support.

Who are these people that suddenly find themselves in charge of their own profit-center publishing books for money on the internet?

In our own program over at Information Marketing Zone we have found people including:

• Unemployed, disillusioned and fed up workers who suddenly live out their dreams by writing about what they love AND making a better living than they ever thought possible
• Professionals who are looking to take their local, offline businesses online and global, where they make sales whether they show up for work or not
• Freelance writers who used to get stressed out over getting the next project, meeting the latest unrealistic deadline – now they can use their craft AND control their own time and income
• Entrepreneurs who are looking to setup internet businesses, but don’t know what to sell.  Information products – self-published ebooks, books, reports can easily be turned into full-scale training, blogging or online marketing businesses – all kicked off by their dedication to self publishing a book

As the Carla mentions in her blog post…

Another market contributing to the big spike in POD is the population who never thought of authoring a book until the tools became so accessible. Family memoirs, for example. Cookbooks by church groups. Businesspeople who write books to enhance their career. Professors who author their own textbooks.

If you fall into one of the groups above and either want to kick off a new career or simply start another income source where you can leverage your time (write once and sell your self published book forever), then head over to Information Marketer’s zone where hundreds of success stories have been realized. 

But above all else, know that you can publish a book in the new world of book publishing and have a better chance than some of the top authors out there who earn pennies on their traditional published books.
