The publishing industry is going through a major transformation which is being driven by the Internet. The online book industry has enabled books to be sold on a global scale which was not possible before.

Online marketing of books, and the bottom-line of publication, depend on the book's genre and topic. For example, when it comes to bestsellers, marketing would have to focus on driving traffic to online stores and focusing on social media marketing as well as email campaigns for promotion.

Future of Books:

The publishing industry is evolving, we can see new trends like self-publishing and online marketing of books.

Book publishing industry is changing rapidly and it is the time that we need to prepare for the post-digital age. This is a time of transition from print to digital and there are many challenges that book publishers need to face. Online marketing of books is vital in this era where we see more people looking for ebooks than physical books.

Publishers and authors are looking for ways to make their books stand out in the cluttered digital age. Online marketing of books is one way to do this.

In a digital age, publishers and authors are looking for new ways to get their content noticed. One way they do this is by online marketing of books (through social media, video trailers, etc.). The goal is to create content that stands out from the other thousands of pieces of content that people see every day.

In order for book publishing industries to survive in the digital era, they need to embrace new technology quicker than they did with previous advancements such as CD-ROMs. In particular, publishers are becoming more aware of the value and importance of video trailers (as seen on sites such as YouTube).

The bottom-line of publication is always the same: 

create a product that people want to buy for a reasonable price. The important thing is to know your audience and have a well-written book with quality content and professional design.

The book publishers are "omni-channel" providers of ebooks, audiobooks, hardcover, and paperback editions. They have an obligation to their customers who want different formats of books, to not only provide them but also make them available when they are asked for.
