Print on demand concept is increasingly rising in popularity nowadays. It is trending because of its low startup costs, quick to set up and does not require any inventory space. And the most binding principle of print-on-demand is order first and print. Consumers place an order and the product is printed only after that order has been made. The print on demand is easily done where books are printed as they are ordered. The print file is stored at the printer and an online order will trigger production and order fulfilment of your book, one at a time.

The initial cost for print on demand is only the price of one copy of your book. You will see the book in full and you will do several rounds of proofing for a big order for the same price of one round offset printing. Digitally printed books are done in the same facility without having to ship out covers to different sites for assembly. In addition commercial digital printing machines are extremely fast and getting faster. This means even larger orders will be created and in-hand in as fast as a few weeks only. As such the print on demand business requires planning in order to minimize risk and maximize profits with their inventory.

You will receive your order from a customer, that order is automatically sent to the printing company where it gets printed, packed and shipped. A notification and tracking number will be sent to you once order is shipped and delivered to the customers. Businesses who are going to use print-on-demand for achievement will still consider when to order a print run for high volume products in order to increase more profitability on a per item basis.

Launching your book is no easy task. You need to do some diligent preparation months prior to the launching of your book. If you want to launch your book with strong word of mouth and sales right out of the gate then print galleys will do the trick. Distributing some galley proofs for advance reading is one way of promoting the book. The more work you will do for promotion before the publication date the more people will already know about it and that means more sales to come. Galleys or advanced reader copies are printed versions of the book that serves as give away for free to reviewers, bloggers, distributors and other industry contacts. A galley proof is essentially a product sample.

However, the book is not done yet though there are sending out review copies about three months earlier before the book launch date. It means that they send out galley proofs for review. Galley proofs are so famous because they are created for proofreading and copy-editing purposes. In printing and publishing, proofs are the preliminary versions of publications that are meant for review by authors, editors, and proofreaders often with extra-wide margins. These are proofs that are uncut and unbound or others electronically transmitted. It is also used for promotional and review purposes.

It is a standard-setting that in order to get a professional book review, galley proofs must be printed way ahead about months in advance. Most publishers do, they have the book printed well in advance of the publication date in order to distribute at trade fairs, festivals and via sites such as good reads approximately about 6 months before the publication date. And like in another promotional strategy, the more work you do to promote your work before publication date, the more people will already know about it and that means more sales are seen.
