Are Your Books Easy to Find and Easy to Buy?
By John Fleming
The book publishing industry has changed dramatically. These changes include new types of products, evolving distribution models and the need for both authors and publishers to market direct to the consumer to drive awareness and sales. New business models, including self-publishing and hybrid publishing, offer significant opportunities and difficult challenges. To succeed in this environment, authors and publishers need to work together collaboratively and be laser focused on the real business of publishing… writing and publishing compelling new titles and then effectively promoting and selling those books to readers across the globe.
But in today’s global, connected marketplace, authors and publishers have to give more and more attention to tough technology challenges like keeping their website, the foundation of an effective presence online, current and competitive with the latest search, mobile and social “must do”. They struggle to integrate multiple tools, applications and technologies into a manageable, cost-effective business platform. They find it hard allocate the time and resources required to drive multiple social media platforms and to always be evaluating the “next new thing”.
