Why wouldn't small business owners want to give back to those who work so hard to help them?
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 05, 2012
entreBOOKS.com announces a new online bookstore for entrepreneurs that saves time, guarantees high quality, and offers cash contributions to the award-winning authors and foundations that support small business.
The nominees for the September 2012 Book of the Month Award are:
Visitors may vote for their favorite from among this collection at http://www.entrebooks.com. The winner of the Book of the Month Award will be announced on October 1, 2012, and will receive national promotion, a gold seal for their marketing, a direct e-mail sales campaign to thousands of small business owners, and a cash award.
“I started this site just to catalog my personal library of some 350 business books,” said entreBOOKS founder, David Shepherd. “But visitors indicated they wanted more—they wanted a place where they could quickly find the most valuable books that those who understand their needs have found useful, and have vouched for through their votes.”
Entrepreneurs are notoriously short of time. By incorporating objective nominations and voting—by category—small business owners can count on entreBOOKS to quickly find great books that have been vetted by those who share their challenges.
Shepherd, who has spent the past twenty-five years teaching and practicing entrepreneurship, also added one more important concept, that of giving back.
“As a lifetime entrepreneur," Shepherd said, “I appreciate the authors who take years out of their lives to write great books that may help me to learn a new skill or experience a moment of inspiration. Most of them don’t make a lot of money from writing, so I wanted to find a way that those of us who benefit from their efforts can also help reward them financially.”
Accordingly, entreBOOKS has designated the majority of its net revenue on book sales (derived from participation in Amazon’s Associate program) to be given back to authors and foundations that support small businesses in the form of direct cash contributions. Both award-winning authors and selected foundations will also benefit from national publicity campaigns and exposure on the entreBOOKS Website.
The first foundation chosen by entreBOOKS.com is Create Jobs for USA which was recently launched by Starbucks to help create jobs throughout the small business sector.
“Small business owners are kindred spirits,” Shepherd said. “We’re calling on them to bookmark entreBOOKS.com and buy all of their business books through the site. It doesn’t cost them any more, yet a part of their purchase will be rebated through us to great authors and great causes like Create Jobs for USA! Why wouldn’t they want to give that back?”
Authors, publishers, and foundations may seek inclusion on the entreBOOKS.com Website by visiting http://www.entrebooks.com and clicking on the “Nominate” tab at the top of the page. Then, they only have to complete and submit a simple form. Nominees must agree to aggressively participate in promotional campaigns as it is the collective traffic and ensuing sales that will generate significant awards and grants going forward.
