A comparison between identical books produced via Print on Demand via LULU and via RPGNOW (Through Lightningsource). One thing I forgot to mention on the video was that setting up the files ready for print is relatively easy and painless on Lulu as compared to Lightningsource who make a lot more technical demands and don’t have a nice, shiny, hand-holding upload interface. Guest appearance by Charlie the cat.

Print on Demand (POD) is a popular, affordable short-run publishing process that can be used to self-publish and sell print and electronic copies of your book(s) from your website and/or from leading online booksellers such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble in the US, Indigo-Chapters in Canada and WH Smith in the UK. You can also use POD to print copies of your book(s) at wholesale prices and to sell them at workshops, lectures and readings, and even through book retailers. Paul Lima, a freelance writer, business writing trainer, and the author of 10 POD books on copywriting, media release writing, business writing, the business of freelance writing, and writing non-fiction books, conducted a 2.5-hour seminar for the Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC)-Kitchener-Waterloo chapter and the Canadian Freelance Union (CFU). The full Print On Demand Video Primer: How to Get Your Book to Market seminar is now available on video, as a downloadable file.and comes complete with Paul’s full lecture, his PowerPoint slides and the seminar question and answer sessions. The video is available online (as a downloadable file) for only .95, less than half the price of the original seminar: www.paullima.com

This is part 1 of 2 of a comparison of major Print on Demand (POD) providers: Lightning Source Ingram, CreateSpace, and Lulu. In the video presentation, I discuss the basic pros and cons of each provider on features, quality, costs of getting started, and royalties and profits. www.latenitebooks.com - Late Nite Books Author Website www.myidentifiers.com - US ISBN Agency http - Lightning Source (LSI) www.createspace.com - CreateSpace (CS) http - Lulu Print on Demand

Herkent u dit: Uw brochures zijn verouderd, maar u vindt het zonde om duur betaald drukwerk zomaar te vervangen door nieuwe brochures.

Met Printing on Demand bestelt u de hoeveelheid drukwerk wanneer u deze nodig heeft. U heeft dus nooit meer verouderde voorraden. Zo blijft al uw documentatie up-to-date en hoeft u niets meer weg te gooien. Ga naar www.dpn.nl
