Ebooks proven to stay

Happy Resurrection Sunday! I have been doing some research on how the kindle version of books have been doing the last couple of days and I have found it to be proven against al odds.

I viewed some kindle versions of books that are also in print and I was surprised to see how vast of a difference there was in terms of sales! For example, one title has a print version of 6.2 million on the amazon sales rank and a sales rank of 2,000 on the kindle charts!

My recommendation: For any new author out there find a book cover designer such as Daniel Middleton from Scribe Freelance www.scribefreelance.com and have his team put together the entire interior layout and graphic cover design. SKIP all of the other stuff such as back cover, etc.,etc. The costs are minimal and with enough blogging on the web your book could be booming in no time.

My book recently made it into the top 2,000 (http://mortifiedbooks.com) and has done wonders for me as a new author selling my book at 0.99. Be on the lookout for the sales to soar once the sequel to the book comes out later this month. Don't forgewt to jum on the iPad bandwagon that was just released by Apple. Jump in and join the party! Sorry to keep it short, but it is a holiday.
