Write a Craft Book - Make Money for Years!

<h1>Write a Craft Book - Make Money for Years!</h1>Author: <a title="Bob Beacham" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/bob-beacham/97566.htm">Bob Beacham</a> There are lots of reasons to write a craft book. For some, it's fulfilling a long held dream simply to write a book. For others it's a desire to share what they've learned and help newcomers to the craft. Others have a more commercial approach. They're craftspeople but they're also business people and they realise the potential income writing a craft book can bring. What's more, once you've established that income it will keep on coming for years and years, with remarkably little work required from you to maintain it. In the traditional book trade, it's called royalty income. In the more modern online craft book publishing world it's usually called residual income. And very nice it is too! In case your new to the concept, basically you put the effort into writing and publishing a craft book and getting it ready for sale, then the system is more or less automated. You don't get huge bundles of cash coming in but you get a percentage of each sale. Every time your craft book is sold, you get a residual income. In traditional craft book publishing this would be in the region of ten to fifteen percent of the cover price. If you write a craft book today and publish it using digital delivery you might expect to get as much as ninety percent of the cover price! You shouldn't let the concept of digital delivery put you off either. It's new terminology perhaps but it's neither complicated nor difficult to do. Several companies exist who'll do the lion's share of the work for less than 5% commission. What's more, there are no up-front fees, you only pay them when your craft book sells! Suddenly, in a relatively short space of time the idea of writing a craft book isn't just a pipe dream but a practical, achievable reality for craftspeople everywhere. Once set up, that initial energy and effort you put into writing a craft book is rewarded again and again. Every copy that sells puts money in your bank. This week, next week, next month, next year! And what do you need to do to maintain it? You'll probably have to answer a few emails, a few questions from potential customers. A couple of hours a week maybe. There has never been a better time for you to write a craft book. There has never been a better time to profit from it. There are also other indirect ways that writing a craft book can benefit you.About the Author: Bob Beacham is a recognised expert at <a href=" <a target="_blank" href="http://craftsblog.sellingcraftsonline.com">selling">http://craftsblog.sellingcraftsonline.com">selling</a> crafts online</a>.
