Self publishers provide the expertise to turn your manuscript into a legitimate sellable product, but after your book is produced, who is really making the lion’s share of the profit? Who is benefiting the most when a consumer recognizes the value of your book and decides to buy it?

If you are selling through Amazon (or similar retail sites), the answer to this question is Amazon. They take up to 55%! You, as the author, must ask yourself if this is fair. If your book retails for $15, is it fair that Amazon takes $8.50 from your pocket?

In most cases, it is the author that drives buyers to Amazon to purchase their book. It is the author that spent months if not years toiling over how each sentence, paragraph, or chapter effects the reader’s experience. If you feel like we do, that you should be profiting the most from the sale of your book, Book-O-Mart is the product that can help you change the way you sell your book.

Through Book-O-Mart, you will choose a personal domain. You have the opportunity to work with a member of the book-o-mart team to customize the copy that appears on your site (see sample sites). You have access to a user-friendly calendar of events (see calendar) and can respond to readers and potential buyers through an easy to use website forum (see forum).

When a sale occurs, you will receive convenient notification emails letting you know who placed the order and where it is to be sent. This information is of course useful when fulfilling orders, but can also be retained for future marketing efforts. Best of all, monies from transactions go directly to you via your free Paypal account. No longer do you have to wait months for a royalty check from your publisher!
