Author Advice - Your Instant-Books Edition Title and Cover

When your book becomes an Instant-Books Edition it will be uploaded onto the Instant-Books Catalogue, becoming available to purchase by anybody anywhere. People won’t be able to pick up your Instant-Books Edition, leaf through the pages before deciding to buy as in a traditional bookshop, so at Instant-Books we have to create the ‘buying opportunity’ for people to purchase your Instant-Books Edition.

Instant-Books Catalogue Information.

To help people find the Instant-Books Editions they might be interested in purchasing we will have ‘key words’, ‘title’, ‘author’ and ‘subject’ searches immediately available producing on-screen lists of Instant-Books Editions.
If you think how you might search for relevant books in amazon.co.uk then apply the same thinking to how your Instant-Books Edition will perform for people searching the Instant-Books Catalogue.

Your Instant-Books Edition Title.

Try to keep the Title of your Instant-Books Edition simple and relevant to what your book contains.
When converting our DWG titles to Instant-Books Editions we are keeping the Titles the same, our own books then being available in ‘traditional printed’ and ‘digital’ Instant-Books Editions. We’ve already refined our titles so that they perform well in amazon.co.uk style searches.
Just consider the difference between the titles; ‘Walk! Mallorca’ and ‘Rambling Round a Mediterranean Gem’
for somebody looking for a walking guide book to Mallorca their searches are unlikely to find ‘Rambling Round a Mediterranean Gem’ even though it might be the book most suited to their needs.

Your Instant-Books Edition Cover.

With an Instant-Books Edition you technically do not need a Cover Design, but if you leave it out you’ll miss an important marketing opportunity. Just like on amazon.co.uk an Instant-Books Search will bring up a list of suitable Instant-Books Editions complete with their Title, Price, ISBN and space for a Cover Image. If you have not designed a Cover then your space for Cover Image will remain blank.
Try an amazon.co.uk Search and look down the list of books selected. How do you feel about those Titles ‘without a Cover Image’ compared to Titles which have a Cover Image?
As with your Instant-Books Edition Title so to with your Cover, keep it simple and relevant to your content.
