Can’t An Independent Publisher Over Throw Online
By C.F. Jackson
Mar 26, 2008

One of the largest online retailers today is Amazon.com. Its website traffic is what many online businesses salivate over. Not just the daily traffic, as well as the profits that it generates daily – hourly.

Amazon.com captures many visitors because of the many Associates who are willingly promoting many of Amazon’s products for the return of a commission. There aren’t many websites pertaining to literature that does not contain a book image or link back to Amazon.com.

“I looked at these sites wondering why they are so driven to Amazon,” says suspense novelist, C.F. Jackson. “What are they doing that I can do, just as well?” the author continued.

This independent author found the element that drives the popularity of the Amazon beast of the world wide web. Yes, the variety of products, but the tie for so many web owners’ link to Amazon.com is the Associate Program.

Society is evolving into a mind of wealth and when forms of opportunities present themselves without the manual labor of a job, they latch on tight. And the web mogul Amazon.com has capitalized on it, as well as many others.

How can an independent publisher compete with an Amazon.com?

“It’s not my goal to compete with an entity like an Amazon,” laughs the author. “We want to utilize their successes and strengths to grow. The only similarity between Organized Thoughts Publishing and Amazon is that we both provide a commission for sells that’s generated by an associate. The return on our commission is higher than those of Amazon.com.”

In comparison of the basics of Organized Thoughts Publishing’s (OTP) program and Amazon.com, is that OTP offers 15% commission, while Amazon offers at the highest 10%. Now, there are other comparison’s, such as Amazon’s large selection of products. OTP is solely geared toward their own products.

“As an independent author, it’s my goal to share with as many people about a good story, well told, and provide others with resources to help them on their way to reach their goals and dreams. In return for their help we’ll pay them a commission,” says C.F. Jackson with passion. “Growth comes from the help of others. Appreciation comes from recognizing those who have helped.”

Looking at an Amazon of the internet and an independent of the literary world many may find it hard to see how Organized Thoughts Publishing and Amazon.com even compare.

In these ways they do:

• Both have a drive to increase website traffic.
• Both have a desire to convert these visitors into satisfied customers.
• Both overall have a goal of providing quality customer service.

However, Organized Thoughts Publishing differs as such,

• Will provide 15% return on all sales generated from booksellers.
• Lower stipulations for the OTP bookseller program. It is as it reads, make a sale and generate a commission.
• Their merchandise is targeted to OTP products.
• Being independent allows them to recognize its booksellers and build a community by name and not by a number.
• Bonus opportunity to earn an additional 10% on featured products sales.

How is it that a smaller company like Organized Thoughts Publishing can offer such a lucrative commission of 15%, while Amazon.com’s program commission is on a tier of 10% (commission varies, depending on how many orders are shipped out) or a flat rate plan of 4%?

It is the seeing and knowing the value of man. This independent publisher understands what it is to create success, which is to give what it is you desire in return. To compensate someone to help them in achieving their goals is priceless. Although, the booksellers of Organized Thoughts Publishing are not employees, they must be treated as though they are. “Just like any employer, you must keep your support staff happy and respect their time - then they will provide you with greatness.”

Organized Thoughts Publishing is a unique book. It is these types of books that should be cracked open to find the hidden treasure that awaits, inside. You’ll find between the periods and commas on each page the opportunity for you to generate income, the choice to join a community, and learn that independent businesses can treat you well, maybe better than the large mainstream corporations.
