Eat Vegans Budget and Publishing Plans

Eat Vegans Budget and publishing procedures

1) Choose best publishing company for needs
2) www.createspace.com, www.lulu.com

Createspace.com is a good alternative to publishing by unit. Createspace.com is a partner of Amazon.com. They publish books based off of royalties rather then charging per unit published. Createspace.com sells from two outlets. First, from their own online store, second from Amazon. The percentage of royalties is based on which outlet the book is sold from. The price breakdown is as follows:
Outlet Royalty Percentage
CreateSpace eStore 20% of list price
Amazon.com 40% of list price

There is also a standard charge applied of $6.65 per book. It is possible by paying an initial membership fee of $39.00 to join the pro plan that cuts this standard charge to $3.65 per book. An example of how this breaks down is as follows.

eStore Sale Amazon.com Sale
List Price
set by you $16.00 $16.00
- Our Share $7.70 $10.90

Your Royalty $8.30 $5.10


If we choose to publish by unit, lulu.com is a great online publishing source for publishing in this manner. The price breakdown is as follows. This might be more useful when making a book with a lot of content where a high price can be established to cut a decent profit.
Quantity Price per unit Total
1 $10.50 $10.50

3) After establishing which company best suites the need of the project, the next step is to create an account with the publisher. For most companies, they will offer optional services for a set price. For example, if you pay the $39.00 to Createspace.com, you receive pricing discounts. Lulu.com offers marketing packages ranging from $200-$1,000 that offer mass distribution and advertising. It is possible to create an account for free, but these services are definitely good to consider.
