Step 1
Research the market. Publishing will become difficult and incomprehensible to anyone who is not aware of how the market is developing and what the public is interested in. Determine what genre your publishing house will specialize in: fiction, popular science books, etc. Think about how many authors you are willing to collaborate with.
Step 2
Select printing equipment if you wish to produce printed publications. The average cost of devices for printing books is $ 3000-5000. The cost of creating a book is much less and is limited only by the price of the software.
Step 3
Come up with a design for your website. The site is critical to the success of any new publishing venture. Book readers will search for reviews and book prices. Make sure your page is manageable, user-friendly and attractive. Determine your payment methods and shipping costs for your item.
Step 4
Create advertisements for writers. Place your ads in information guides, magazines for writers. Also put it on your site.
Step 5
Discuss the legal requirements with a lawyer. Create your model contract for authors. Sign the required documents about the legality of the publication. Try to find lawyers specializing in the publishing industry.
Step 6
Advertise and sell your books. As soon as they go to print, you will have to report it on the Internet, in magazines and in bookstores. If possible, organize a meeting of readers with the authors of your books, with a vivid presentation and signing autographs. The best advertising is word of mouth, so consider sending a few extra copies to read to reviewers to write reviews and provide support in promoting your product.
