Publishers Implement New Tracking Service for Authors

May 30, 2008 - PRLog -- Online book tracking is becoming an important business for publishers due to the fact that authors want to track the sales of their books in real-time. The dreary wait for an annual or bi-annual royalty statement, as well as the allure of wanting to check how many copies have been sold, generally encourages an author to track the sales of his/her book independently.

This well-documented phenomenon is begging for a cost-effective and easy-to-implement solution because a large part of being a good publisher is providing your authors with adequate post publication support. Trying to do this without external help, may prove to be rather time consuming.

Certain types of online media are increasingly developing methods of online sales analysis that are both convenient and accurate – some even come with the option for you to earn money with you enjoying some added benefits. Let’s take a look at an example of how to make the most of these services and actually put something into your own pocket…

2.Email Trace Credit to authors whenever a new book is published - for example, $6 allows an author to track their new book for 3 months.
