The
Concept
For most writers there are two main barriers once the manuscript is finished. Finding a publisher who will take the work is first. Is the work good enough to merit a publisher picking it up? Who knows, until you send it out? You send it out to several publishers and it takes months and months to get a reply. You get many turndowns. You may end up thinking your work isn’t worthy of print, which may not be the case at all. Commercial Publishers look at the bottom line. And if they don't see a great enough (projected) profit margin from your book in the current market, then your work is 'not what they seek at this time'. Commercial Publishers also seek to buy the rights to books that will sell millions of units, then pay the author 12% of the net and keep the other 88%. They want books that will at the very least justify the cost of the initial print run. For larger Publishers, that cut-off line sits around 100,000 copies. So if you are the author of a book that may only sell 10,000 copies---ever, Commercial Publishers would consider that book a failure by industry standards. And thus your book is 'not what they seek at this time.' But what if you, as the author, didn't need a Commercial Publisher to get your work into production and available for world-wide distribution? What if you, as the author, were retaining 100% of the Net Profit? What if you were earning $8-$12 per copy? What if your book only sells 5000 copies? Would that be success?

POD eliminates the need for a large up-front investment in a stock of books, allowing us to print as many or as few as we need. Even one at a time. It has grown into a huge industry in just a few years and is continuing to grow as people become more aware of how technology has impacted publishing.
