It's the weekend, so it must be time for "Internet Travels" here on 9 2 Bay 2 9 2 10. So here's a really cool item I found in my online travels... Self-publish your own book!
That's right, all you budding writers out there. Cafepress.com has what seems like an awesome deal. Write your "great American Novel" - convert it to PDF's - design your cover - upload it to them - make a free store to sell it from - set your markup price - and watch the orders roll in. Cafepress does the printing, order fullfillment, returns, money exchange - everything.. then they send you a check for the markup you specified. No minimum orders.. no setup fees.. absolutely free.. they set a base price for each book depending on the size of the book.. A 100 page perfect bound book is $10.. you mark it up to $15.. it sells.. they print and ship.. and you get a check for $5.. not a bad deal... all it takes is your time to write the thing.. (OH.. and they also offer all kinds of other items.. t-shirts, bumperstickers, bags, mousepads all with your designs on them for the same deal.. base price, you set the markup and if it sells you get the difference!)
So come on people.. there's never been a better time to get that masterpiece of the written word down in ones and zeros.. get typing!
Later...
