I have always been a fan of the physical book I enjoy reading, but I have a lot of eBooks on my computer, which I haven't even read yet, even though there are a few that I would like to read I still go out an buy the physical book. I personally feel its going to take a long time for the eBook to take off, but on the other hand, like you said there are less costs when it comes to selling eBooks and if only a few people want to buy your eBooks then why not. A lot of people like myself think whats the point I dont read them so its a waste of time, well as Dale pointed out once its online you dont have to do anything. The other good point Dale made during another video was that if there are any mistakes or updates you want to add all you do is upload the update file.
When I publish my first book I'm going to take your advice and take a lil time to get my eBook online, once again thank you Dale for all the work you are putting into these videos, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be starting my first book.

Thanks Dale, a great post.
What thoughts around strategy do you have around physical vs ebook publishing? I am about to publish a physical book (The Success Zone), and many spin off books will 'satellite' this introductory book. Should they be eBooks or both? Should eBooks be on your own web site, on distribution sites or both?

Keep up the great work!

Best,
Andrew

Well I think I'll be doing both of these when the time comes. I'd like to have a few extras for my readers and I already have an idea or 2 for the actual book. Now I just need something for ebooks and audio books to…. Hopefully I'll get some ideas from future episodes.
