Seven Things to Think About Before you Go With Print on Demand

Is Print on Demand all you think it is?

You, like many other authors who don’t want to go the long hard road with traditional publishing, and who like the low cost and seemingly easiest and best way to publish a book, Print on Demand Publishing looks good. They print one book at a time when it’s ordered.  But, think again. After many years of authors coming to me saying they did not make money going with a POD, and my research noticing the poor payoffs from Print on Demand, as an author’s advocate, I say, think again.

Top Seven Things to Think About Before you Go With Print on Demand

1. Notice how many other authors and books are listed on the POD web site.

Like a brick and mortar bookstore, your audience won’t go to the Print on Demand site looking for your specific book. In fact, the people who go are other authors like you. They don’t want to buy your book, they come because they think this is a simple way to be on a website where one can sell books. So who will buy?
