Are you the
author of a book or novel looking for an easy way to sell your work
online? Look no further! Artopium.com will host your ebook, drive customers
to your online profile page, and allow you to accept credit cards online
for instant purchases of your tangible hardcover, paperback, spiralbound
book, or even downloads of your digital .pdf or .doc ebook!
Sign-up is easy, and it's free, so Join
Artopium.com Now! Once you've signed up and created an Artists'
Members Account, simply follow the instructions outlined below for submitting
your ebook. In short: your ebook .pdf or .doc file should be at least
50 pages and set up ready to print (i.e. includes cover, table of contents
if necessary, etc.), then emailed to sellmyebook@artopium.com
where it will be verified and associated with your Artopium account
and posted online for sale. For more details, read below.
Add A Creative Work
After joining Artopium, if
you did not do so during signup, add a Creative Work
to the Book category and fill out the Creative Works
form with the details of your written work. You can find the Creative
Works form by going to the Creative Works page of the Artopium Member
Area (a.k.a. My Artopium) and clicking on the "Add" button.
If you would like to only sell an ebook and you do not want to sell
a tangible book, simply check the "I'm Not Selling" checkbox
on the Creative Works form when you are adding your ebook to the Cyber
Gallery category. However, by leaving it unchecked and entering a price
you can sell both your tangible book and your downloadable ebook simultaneously.
Whichever way you decide to sell your work, once we have processed your
ebook .pdf or .doc file, a new price box will appear on the Creative
Works form for you to enter the price of your download (see
commission rates). You can see this new box by clicking on
the "Edit" link corresponding to your book on the Creative
Works page. Please be patient as it may take our staff up to 48 hours
to process your ebook files.
Submit Your eBook
Your eBook must have at least 50 pages and be ready to print
(i.e. contains a cover, table of contents if necessary, etc.)
To submit your ebook, please name the .pdf or .doc file the same as
the title of your book and zip it into a .zip file. Your .zip file name
should not contain any special characters other than numbers, letters
and underscores (no spaces). You can get a program that creates .zip
files from www.download.com
(do a search on ".zip"), or you may try the software at www.WinZip.com
if you have a PC.
Then, attach your .zip file to an email and send it to this
address:
sellmyebook@artopium.com
NOTE:
The entire size of the .zip file cannot be larger than 100 MB.
Also, the email address you send your ebook FROM should be the same
as the one you used to sign up on Artopium so that we will know which
account to associate your files with. You must have an My
Artopium Account FIRST before sending in your digital prints.
Do not send your ebook without it first being zipped into a
.zip file.
Please be patient with us. Although we are currently processing many
requests, we presently expect to have your ebook associated with your
account within 24 hours.
Tell Us What You Think
We will be launching a new
section to the website that enables direct upload of ebooks and may
be removing the option of uploading via email, yet some have asked that
we keep the email option. Don't hesitate to tell us what you think in
the body of your email when you send us your ebook along with any other
comments. Thanks! |
