Attention All Authors – We Have The Answer To Marketing Your New Or Backlisted Book

Wiseologie has announced WiseNotes, our new marketing tool for authors.  WiseNotes is used as a marketing device used to create a community around your new book or existing book.  Authors can also use WiseNotes in order to create awareness about their book before it is even fully complete.  Providing a snippet of a chapter out of your book via WiseNotes is a helpful way to entice readers to purchase your full book once it is published.  It is also a great way to bring life back to a backlisted book.

WiseNotes are an inexpensive clip for readers to purchase via iTunes and provide a teaser to readers.  Check out our WiseNote for The Golden Motorcycle Gang, by Jack Canfield and Bill Gladstone.

“Kindle Fire, eBooks and the paper” -By Carlo Raphael Diokno

Here is a great article we came across about physical vs. digital reading:

Physical versus digital. Are you willing to pay more without the paper (and the smell)?

Yes, Amazon said last week that they’re selling millions of Kindle Fire tablets and Kindle e-Readers, so, more Kindle users means more eBook buyers. Barnes and Noble also enjoyed “millions” with its Nook Color, and its latest Nook Tablet Android-based device sporting the still cheaper $249 price. But here’s the problem of eReader owners, the prices of digitalized books are going up, while the printed books prices are going down.

The trend started last year, according to a New York Times article. Kindle, iPad and other eReader owners say the eBooks should be much (plus another “much”) cheaper with than print books largely due to the fact that publishers do not have to pay to print, cut trees and distribute the heavy books to brick and mortar stores.

Fast forward to 2011, the “e-books vs price vs demand vs supply trend” is continuing, and prices of eBooks are reportedly going up because book publishers have decided to set their own e-book prices.

For example, Walter Isaacson’s hit book “Steve Jobs” (hardcover) is currently priced at $17.49 in Amazon.com, while the Kindle version of the book is currently flaunting the $11.99 price tag. A total of $5.50 savings, but you’ll not experience the smell of the new book, the texture of the pages, and — the weight of the hardcover.

According to a Wall Street Journal article posted last week, the continuous increase in the prices of electronic books may already be hurting sales, and sadly, the price movement will continue despite the number of available e-books in multiple retailers, and the continuous growth of tablet computer and e-reader owners.

The Kindle Fire, despite its tablet nature, is a hot device that will surely boost the e-books sales. Apparently, the Kindle Fire is cheaper compared to the iPad and other Android-based tablets, but what is the point of buying a cheap tablet computer if you’re a heavy e-book buyer?

The point is this, Amazon and other e-book retailers wants to sell cheap e-books because it will attract more customers. Period.

eBooks Are In, Now Enhanced eBooks Are The New Craze!!

Print books have had a rapid decline in sales because of the amazing concept of eBooks, allowing readers to carry around a whole library in their purse or briefcase.

Furthermore, screens that used to be used solely for display have now become responsive and include an ever growing number of touch screens that allow the user to interact directly with what is visible on their screen.

This evolution must be kept up with as an author so one doesn’t become a dinosaur that no one will ever read.

These eBooks that allow readers to interact with the screen are also known as Enhanced eBooks.  They can include highlights such as hypertext links, soundtracks, art and animation and videos you can view the author telling about his or her book.

Although there are various methods and services that provide conversion of your eBook to an Enhanced eBook, finding a company that truly takes personal care to ensure your Enhanced eBook will turn out perfectly is key.  Wiseologie’s “craftsmanship” commitment yields first class results and a predictable, fun experience for the authors in this fast and ever changing e-publishing world.  We constantly have an eye for the details throughout the entire e-pub process for each and every book we publish never thoughtlessly slapping our eBooks together.
