No Lie: Truth Is the Ultimate Sales Tool

No Lie

No Lie was originally published by McGraw-Hill. The acquistions editor who purchased the book left before it was released and it was left orphaned, with no one in the company to fight for it. Though the book did receive some strong acclaimed and foreign editions were published in five languages, it was never really promoted and never lived up to the potential many people thought it had.

Eventually we got the rights back and self published the book. Now not only is every copy very proftiable for us but we can also bulk sell copies to our speaking clients, which provides a great take away for attendees and of course adds to our bottomline.

You're right

Actually, I've done three books that way. And yes, if I do another book, I may start out self publishing it. It depends upon the subject matter, and who I expect to be generating the sales.

Here's what I'm wondering
by: Steve B. (webmaster)

Barry, this is at least two books now that you've told us about that made the "leap" from traditionally published to self published...

If you had it all to do over again, is it possible that you'd start off and STAY self published with any of them? (Respond by commenting.)
