By: appress When he went back to schedule the signing that's when he got the bad news that the location would be closing. He knew that the landscape of the publishing world was changing. His agent was having problems landing a deal because he didn't have a huge platform. He'd also heard that amazon would be coming out with a new version of their kindle electronic book, capable of uploading thousands of books. This would drastically cut prices and profits with large chains furthermore cutting his profits to mere pennies. For years many authors depended on large chains to help them promote their book. If you were lucky enough to get on the shelves your next step would be aggressively fighting off returns and damaged books. Antonio knew that he could not depend on chains to promote and market his book so he did what the pizza companies do. Deliver books right to your doorstep. His process is quite simple. When someone orders a book he or one of his three friends jump in their car and deliver it directly to the customer. The customer usually gives them a tip for gas expenses. He has found that in today's market customers want what they want right. His policy is if you make your order by 2pm, you will have your book delivered the same day. His company has sold over $500,000 in books so far and look for revenues to reach over 1 million in 2012. So far he and his small company is doing well and he says they may be expanding in other markets soon. you can reach his company at www.thesellionaire.com End
