Make money selling ebook on the Apple iBook Store

With the launch of the Apple iPad, Apple hopes to do for books what the iPod did for music. To help stock the iBook store with plenty of titles, Apple has came up a way for you to sell your eBook in their iBook store! You can do this all by yourself. You don’t need a publisher, distributor or agent. You decide how much to charge and which countries to sell into. Best of all, you also get the same deal as the app publishers, which mean 70% of the revenue goes to you!

In order to put your eBook into the iBook store, you need to meet the following requirements:

1.An ISBN numbers for the book you want to sell
2. The ability to deliver the book in ePub format
3. The book pass EpubCheck 1.0.5
4. A US Tax ID (Non US are out of luck for now)
5. An iTunes account backed up by a credit card
6. An idea of where you’ll sell and how much you’ll sell for
7. An Intel-based Mac running OS 10.5 or better (PC users are SOL)

If you don’t know how to get an ISBN number, Apple suggests that you use an Apple-approved aggregator. These are firms that have a financial arrangement with Apple and can provide you with a number of services. If iBook takes off and more and more writers start publishing their works on iBook instead of going through the normal channels, we could be seeing a total shake up of the industry. Be the pioneer in making money by selling your ebooks on the Apple iBook Store!!!
