Publishing with Lulu.com
provides authors the opportunity to reach over 66,000 retail outlets making
it possible to sell to a global audience. In less than eight hours, Dugout
Wisdom: Life Lessons from Baseball by Dan Migala reached the number one
ranking on the Movers and Shakers list on Amazon after beginning in the
71,000th position.
Dan Migala, a long time journalist and no stranger to traditional
publishing, chose to publish with Lulu.com because the process is easy and
provides his book with optimum distribution channels and the ability to be
more profitable due to Lulu's 80/20 creator revenue split. "In Dugout
Wisdom, each of these baseball legends opened up their heart and shared his
personal journey. It was important to me to be able to bring these stories
to a wide audience. Without Lulu.com's commitment to me as a customer,
distribution offerings and the tools and technology it provides, this
project wouldn't have been widely available so quickly," says Migala.
Holding the number one slot and breaking into the top five for books in
the 'Sports' category, shows the power behind maintaining creative and
editorial control of your work as well as the kind of marketing push a
customer can put behind their self-published projects. "This is tremendous
for Dan Migala and is exactly what we mean when we talk about Lulu being a
place where we empower our customers," says Bryce Boothby, President and
COO of Lulu.com. "Dugout Wisdom is an excellent illustration of a Lulu
author using the tools we provide to reach the market -- and the market has
responded."
