Create Additional Revenue

As paper book sales fall, creating additional revenue through alternative methods becomes increasingly important. Digital products can directly create revenue for your business and are a great way to make your content work harder for you.

e-books that create additional revenue for publishers

We can convert your book files (we prefer PDF, Word, Quark or Adobe InDesign files) into ePub format which is the industry standard for e-books. Alternatively we can digitise content should you require. e-books can then distributed digitally through a number of means. e-books can be distributed now through some of your traditional channels, sold on your website, or sold directly to resellers (i.e. Amazon).

Digital product files that create additional revenue for publishers

Once you have your book content in an easy to use digital format, it makes sense to look at alternative ways to sell this content. For example, some users may not have e-book devices and thus selling simple PDF’s on your website is another way to sell your content. Books can be split into chapters, subject areas or similar and sold in smaller chunks, thus enabling you to maximise your revenue from one book. We can facilitate this process for you.

Phone applications that create additional revenue for publishers

Many publishers are now looking to phone applications, more commonly known as ‘apps’, to access the mobile content market. A phone app could be a simple book conversion (like e-books) to allow your book to be accessed through a phone, but it could also be a lot more than that. For example a yoga book can be converted into an interactive app, by taking the content and then adding links to recorded visual images of yoga moves being demonstrated and a commentary. This takes the content of the book to a new interactive level.

We develop phone applications in Apple OS (for iPhone or iPad) or Android depending on your requirements.

Website applications that create additional revenue for publishers

As a publisher, there is no doubt that you currently hold a large amount of content. Website applications can be created to allow you to generate additional revenue from your content. For example we have developed an interactive website application that allows users to access travel content that is in this instance generated from Globetrotter travel guides. Instead of the user buying a standard guide to Paris, they are able to create a bespoke travel guide to their particular itinerary. Once the bespoke travel guide has been created it can be downloaded to a computer or phone and charged for on a content added basis. This is a viable alternative to the user buying a hard copy guide.

Our experienced in-house team can develop website applications for any number of subject matters depending on your requirements.
