Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
When choosing eBook online design, or disc and mailing packaging, decide if you want everything to match - or to what extent. It can be just graphics, include color palettes, etc.
///////////////////////////////
Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
If choosing to market Print On Demand, never forget the production time. Even if a book takes 3 months to publish, people interested in the content should not be disappointed if you are up front about the time limits of your POD.
///////////////////////////////
Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Consider offering a special first edition. This could include a discount, different cover/packaging, additional pages or features, color versus black and white in subsequent publishing's, numbered, etc.
///////////////////////////////
Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
General, standard rule of thumb: Never forget to have documents for anything you plan to publish.
