Lesson XII:
5 Ways to Bind Your Book
For a Professional Look

If you can't afford to pay thousands of dollars to have a first run of your book printed, you can still market and sell it, and use the proceeds from the initial sales to pay for a print run later.

When publishers want to provide review editors and others with copies of new titles in advance of the first printing, they create "galley copies," which are like bound manuscripts. You can do the same thing! All you need is a master copy of your book from which copies can be made as needed and a method of binding the pages together.

There are several binding techniques that you can use to give your individually-bound books a professional look, and Lesson XII examines the ones that are most popular among self-publishers. You will also learn:

How Much Each Binding Technique Costs
Which Types of Bindings are Suitable for Your Type of Publication
Where to Get the Binding Materials You Need

As a self-publisher, you decide when to have a first run printed, and you decide how many books to produce in the first print run. You can produce individually-bound copies of your books as needed until sales justify (and can pay for) a first print run! You can also avoid having to store unsold inventory until your sales pick up, and you can spend precious resources on marketing your book instead of on printing it.

FREE BONUS: When you order Lesson XII, you will also receive a free bonus entitled "How to Find a Literary Agent." Downsizing in the publishing industry has eliminated entry-level editorial assistants and made the role of the literary agent more important than ever before. This special bonus report will help you decide whether you need a literary agent and how to find one if you do!

	Bonus #7: "Affiliate Program or Dealership?" The two-tier affiliate program has been lauded as the best way to attract an online sales force, but dealerships that pay on only one level can be more beneficial to off-line sales associates.

	Bonus #11: "Is Your Book Out of Print?" If your book is out of print, you're in good company.
