How is the is different from Amazon? Blurb has a storefront that turns over 1.5 million original titles per year – and they don’t take a rev share. You do not have to create a barcode. You can mark it up, sell it through their storefront and keep 100% of the profit.
Books start as low as $5. Companies order 50 – 100K books at a time if they like, or one at a time if that works for them. Printing takes just 5-7business days.
If you are going to give this a try, here are some questions to help you get started:
- What is your goal?
- What is the theme?
- Are the images related?
- Do you have enough images / content for a book?
- How many images do you need?
- How will you make it memorable?
If you’re an affiliate and would like to make your own book, Blurb invites you to create your own book for free. Blog about it. Tweet about it. Facebook it. Re-sell it. Show the world what you did so they can do one too. There are many ways to capture your life’s ideas and stories while earning money for your family or driving more sales for your business.
