<description><![CDATA[Michael Mould is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Washington and by day is a Flight Test engineer. Several years ago, to earn a supplemental income, he and his wife started an online-bookselling business to finance their shared travel hobby. As a consequence of the bookselling success, several friends of friends asked to learn the business and Mike coached them to be successful online booksellers as well. The requests and coaching became overwhelming and Mike decided to write a book about online bookselling that captured everything about the subject. The result, "Online-Bookselling: A Practical Guide with Detailed Explanations ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While online bookselling is a very profitable business, the process of scouting for books can be time intensive and daunting if you don't know where to start. It does not require any expensive gadgets to be successful (although some of the gadgets are quite helpful), but knowing how to find gems does require more than a glance.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When I started in online bookselling, I listed everything in my inventory for sale everywhere my listing marketplaces sold. Sometimes it was not very profitable to sell a book and ship it internationally, but I wanted to make the books I was selling available all over the world.

<description><![CDATA[Not too many years ago the only way to get your book published was to send a manuscript to a large publishing house and hope they liked it enough to publish and distribute it. Even then, there was no guarantee of success because the publishing houses did little or nothing to promote a book unless it was written by a well known author or likely to garner some impressive sales. Whether it might have been in the best interest of the publishing house to promote a book did not seem to matter, advertising dollars were only pumped into those works...]]></description>

If it were true that great minds think alike, we would not have light bulbs in our homes, indoor plumbing, or any of our other modern conveniences.  The fact is that great minds do not think alike, they think independently and without regard to what the masses are thinking.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years, attending the pre-sale event at library book sales has become increasingly unpleasant owing to the behavior of a few online booksellers. It seems they think they have the right to walk in, gather up anything and everything they suspect of having a value, piling it all in a corner, and then taking their time to go through their pile and sort out what is really worthwhile. I have been to some pre-sale events where I have seen several booksellers do this with thousands of books in their piles and I think it is time...]]></description>

After a while, you will find yourself writing this way naturally and you will get feedback from your readers telling you how much they appreciate the conversational tone of your book.

Certainly, when you buy a house, you only expect to get the house you paid for and would not dream of asking for any seller concessions or changes at the expense of the seller - would you?

<description><![CDATA[There are a number of reasons being discussed by booksellers all over the Internet. Some of the reasons I have read include: 1) A desire by some to curtail the profiteers and assure that there are some good books left when the sale opens to the general public. Certainly, this hinders the online bookseller and limits the number of books that he/she is able to check, but I do not think this is the reason.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Until recently, I never really gave it much thought, but I now have some data which suggests that buyers do make their purchase decisions with some preference to the name of the bookseller's business. Of course, when I came up with a name for my own bookselling business, I immediately discarded the idea of using my own name because I could see buyer's cringing at the thought of buying from "Mould Books," but beyond that I really did not think the name of my business would matter much if any. Recently, I set up a relationship with a number...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The dilemma facing most online booksellers is to find a sweet spot where the marketplace reimbursements completely cover the costs of packaging and shipping the books they sell. For penny booksellers, the postage margins are really a part of their business model and they rely on making a quarter to fifty cents per book from the postage paid, so packaging is even more important to them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Like any other business or investment, the objective is to buy low and sell high, so the best books to sell online are the ones you can get cheap and sell at much higher prices. This is much easier said than done, which is why some booksellers opt to specialize. Because the assumed objective of all online booksellers is to turn a profit and find homes for books in need, a better question to ask might be, "Why do some booksellers specialize?"]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It would seem that with the Internet and the online marketplaces at their disposal all that an author would need to do to be successful is write a book, have it printed by a reputable print on demand publisher, and put it up for sale online.
