Author Advice - What Books Sell as Instant-Books?

Nobody knows what will be the next ‘Best Seller’ from a new author. If we really had a definitive answer to this we would already have published that Instant-Book, but we honestly don’t know.
What we do know is that to be a ‘Seller’ you have to get published, then to be a ‘Best Seller’ you need to sell lots of copies of your book - think Instant-Books Edition and your digital sales.

Instant-Books gives you the chance to be a ‘Best Seller Author’ through:-

  • You become a ‘Published Author’ very quickly by producing your Instant-Books Edition.
  • your Instant-Books Edition is available World-Wide, at an Attractive Price, with Instant Delivery.
  • combine these advantages and you have every chance of becoming a ‘Best Seller’ ‘Published Author’.

Think of your ‘World-Wide’ Market
Take a look at ‘Andy Crisp’s World of Free Flight Model Aircraft’, over 50% of Andy’s sales are outside of the UK; principally Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA.
Your book might have a limited market in UK but what about the rest of the English speaking World; and its a very big World-Wide Market out there.

What ‘Topics’ will Sell as Instant-Books Editions
Just about any topic you can think of will sell as an Instant-Books Edition. Combine the advantages of Instant-Books with an interesting topic, add in good design and some promotion and you could have a World-Wide Best Seller.
Every interest area can sell well so here are a few thoughts:-
Illustrated Family Histories - available to your World-Wide family at low cost.
Educational Resources - teaching materials that make life easier for teachers/lecturers and students.
Early Learning - how about a book of illustrated ‘Bed Time’ stories.
Cookery - a book of A4 illustrated recipe cards?

We could add to this endless list of ‘Topics that Sell as Instant-Books’ forever so here are a couple of thoughts:-

‘Church Window Architecture of Suffolk Churches’ sounds an unlikely ‘Best Seller’.
Published conventionally it might find a few buyers in Suffolk, or amongst afficionados of church windows. Available World-Wide as an Instant-Book, easy to purchase with Instant Delivery who knows where it might sell - Canada? USA? Australia? New Zealand? Holland? We won’t know until it is in the Instant-Books Catalogue.

‘Paper Planes for Primary Schools’, perhaps with a catchier title, doesn’t sound like a ‘Best Seller’ but if that obscure title got taken up by junior schools World-Wide as part of the learning programmes just imagine the sales!

Basically everything could sell. What is certain is that unless your book is offered for sale it cannot sell. Nothing is too obscure for Instant-Books just so long as it fits in our ‘General Publishing Guidelines’. Remember you’ve got to be published to sell your book. Instant-Books will say YES to publishing your book and that YES could open up your book to World-wide sales.
