Marketing Your Books Online

Digitizing books is good. Making digitized books accessible to the world is better. Making a profit by digitizing them and making them accessible may be best of all.

Once a book has been digitized, Kirtas Technologies can make available for sale online through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Borders.com, and a host of other online venues.

The cost? There's no charge at all.

Thanks to Print On Demand technology, Kirtas Technologies can prepare a book file for print publication and then simply place a notice online that the book is available for sale. When a reader looking for that volume places an order, Kirtas prints and ships the volume.

Part of the royalties are paid to the supplier of the book. All the rest is pure profit for the organization that has digitized the file.

And since a great deal of material in libraries and other collections is public domain, it provides a rich resource for Kirtas customers interested in developing new revenue sources for their organization at the same time as they make knowledge more available.

Far from being an expensive proposition, digitizing a set of books or a private or university collection can be a source of ongoing revenues. Even rare or esoteric books can bring in funds when the market is the entire world. The money generated can not only defray the cost of digitization but become a lasting and welcome source of funds for libraries, governments, and individuals.
