BB eBooks Newsletter – November 9, 2012
Dear Friend,
Now that the US election is over and done, the temperature in the eBook industry is slowly rising. Let’s have a quick read of what’s going on, shall we?
Is it E-book or eBook?
First thing first, we cover how important your writing style can be when it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The gap between E-book and ebook (eBook) is wider than ever as search results shows that “eBook” is the winner as opposed to the lame hyphenated version.
On Typos and Big Publishers
Typo-riddled Umberto Eco’s novel took the web by the storm as one Amazon user excessively laments how mothing (sic) major is plain anoying (sic). At BB eBooks, we can help you fix up errors that result from a poor conversion. Following the rumor-come-true merger between Random House and Penguin, cost reduction seems to be one of the biggest issues they are trying to resolve. The similar trend might continue to grow whereas self-publishers are busy with fine-tuning their product to reach the global readers with better support of eReading devices and more professional presentation.
Using KDP To Propel Sales
KDP Select is brought back to our attention. David Gaughran details how to maintain great sales on Amazon. Being on a list is key to attracting new readers. Online ads and book reviews can be necessary tools to increase your exposure to readers to save time and boost promotional efforts.
Auto-Tweeting Your eBook?
Book Tweeting service perfectly captures the essence of author’s dream to have someone repeatedly tweet your book’s information. Although the service comes with a hefty price per day, the thoughtful service is worth the big round of applause for catapulting emerging authors to the marketplace preoccupied by 60K+ followers. A well-placed tweet about your book can make a difference—but please don’t be too pushy about it. eBooks are in a dynamic transition to live vividly in reader’s imagination on the eye-friendly screen. Self-publishers should prepare themselves to embrace new technology to better deliver their content. Promotional efforts require your attention more than ever to experiment with different strategies and any traditional methodology that might work best for your book.

Yours sincerely,
The BB eBooks Team
