Uploading your MIDI-eBook to
the Web
The FTP Program
When you start the FTP program you will usually be shown a page divided
vertically into two halves. Conventionally, the left half will show
you a list of directories and files that exist on your hard disk.
The right side will show you a list of files that are on your web site.
You will need to have a few facts ready. The web host usually gives
you:
the ftp address, the user name and password and the remote directory
to use.
This data can be typed into your site manager. Then when you use the
program each time you will only need to click once instead of re-typing
all the info each time.
You will also need to specify the local directory where your files
are stored.
When you are logged on successfully, all you need do is click on your
file to highlight it on the left side and click on the upload button. The
file will begin uploading to the web site and usually shows how many minutes
it will take (depending on the speed of your connection). More details
on using your FTP program can be found in the Help files that come with
the program.
An Easier Way
If you don't have time, or don't want to set up your own web site,
you can send us a copy of your book on a Zip disk or CD by snail mail.
You can also email your book to us - as an attachment.
We will put your MIDI-eBook on our web site at: http://midi-ebooks.com.
Make sure you include a text file with your address details, a short
biography of the author and an outline of what the story is about (at least
10 lines)
We will construct a web page specially devoted to your MIDI-eBook and
advertise it in an index of other books. The public will be
able to purchase your book on line and download it from our site. We may
also ask you to provide a few pages from your book which we can display
as a preview for potential buyers.
What You Will Earn!
You may nominate a price for your book and we will review the book
and suggest a price in line with quality and content. 10% of the transaction
is paid to the company that handles the e-commerce credit card transactions.
We will charge another 15% to sell the book for you. So if the price of
the book is $20 then you will still receive $15. Even if you only
sell 100 books that is a tidy sum of money. We expect you will sell many
times that! We think this new entertaining form of eBooks will be a hit!
If your book is popular you may even sell tens of thousands of copies!
The book will remain on sale as long as you want. You can even update
the book at any time.
You can begin writing more books as you continue to earn money!
We will send out checks once per month. The e-commerce people provide
an accurate account of all sales, which will enable you to check your stats
at anytime.
