… Then you’re going to LOVE our new ULTIMATE publishing package!
Last week I wrote a posting comparing our “old” Pearl package with our new & improved Full-Color package. This week I’m going to provide another comparison, this time between our “old” Diamond package and our new & improved Ultimate package. As you can see, we made the best value in self-publishing even better!
- More free image insertions
- More free galley round revisions
- Updated free cover themes
- More free publishing tips and marketing tips
- More free inclusions
Before I get to the comparison, let me share a few “little known facts” about some other perks of the old Diamond, all of which converted over to the new & improved ULTIMATE package.
- Lower shipping costs. We subsidize the cost of author’s copies shipping prices for the Ultimate (and the Full-Color and One-Clicks, for that matter); it’s not much, but every little bit helps, right?
- Higher royalties. For every book you sell, you’ll make a dollar more with the Ultimate than you will with the Basic.
- Lower author costs. For every book you buy, you’ll pay a dollar less with the Ultimate than you will with the Basic.
- More promotion. The vast majority of books selected to be featured on our blog, social media channels, newsletter, and “New Releases” section of our bookstore are Ultimate books (or Full-Color).
If that’s not compelling enough, through the end of August, we are offering an instant $250 savings on our new Ultimate Publishing Package. In fact, we are repeating ALL this month’s weekly promotions, which means you can save up to $600 on the Children’s One-Click Suite, which includes 15 original, unique illustrations. Or you can save $500 on the One-Click for Non-Fiction Suite. See all the promotion codes by clicking here. They expire on August 31st.
Or scroll down this comparison table to see how our Ultimate publishing package has improved upon the Diamond package in just about every way.
