New Digital and Audio Books Added to My Discount Bookstore for Avid Readers

Writers and book authors spend years crafting meaningful work. Yet most remain underpaid and undervalued, trapped on platforms that prioritize their own growth over the creators’ well-being.

After retiring from my 40+ year career in the corporate world, I reflected deeply on this imbalance. For decades, I designed e-commerce systems for global enterprises, helping them sell products and services directly to millions.

My work in enterprise and business architecture serving billion-dollar corporate enterprise solutions as a seasoned technologist was recognized with industry certifications, including the Distinguished Architect title from The Open Group and badges from IBM, including retail specialization presented by Credly.

But when I started publishing my own books, I noticed something troubling: most writers still rely on platforms that limit their reach, control their audience data, and take a significant share of their revenue.

So I decided to build my own online bookstore as a proof of concept with no ad spend, no paid promotions but just organic reach, quality books for avid readers with professional design.

Within 24 hours, my store received nearly 10,000 views. This article explains how I did it and, more importantly, why every serious writer and creator deserves a digital space of their own.

One of my services is to help them create their own line shops in a cost-effective manner using state-of-the-art technologies and technological tools.

Most writers still depend on borrowed platforms such as marketplaces, social media, and publisher websites to share and sell their work.

While these platforms offer visibility, they come with limitations: shifting algorithms, restricted monetization, and little to no control over audience relationships.

In my experience, both in enterprise architecture and as an author, the biggest shift in power occurs when creators own the infrastructure where their work is discovered, purchased, and appreciated.

Having your own digital store means:

You set the terms. No hidden fees, no sudden policy changes, no dependence on third-party gatekeepers.
You own the customer relationship. You can reach your readers directly, offer them updates, bonuses, and thank-yous, and build genuine loyalty.
You can diversify your offerings. Sell books, courses, services, affiliate products, or exclusive bundles from one place without needing multiple tools.
You build long-term equity. Each visitor, each sale, and each returning customer contributes to something you fully control and can grow over time.
The biggest myth is that digital stores are too technical or expensive to set up. That may have been true twenty years ago.

But today, with tools like WooCommerce on WordPress hosting platform, you can build a professional store with minimal cost and effort, especially when you apply modern design thinking and a bit of strategic insight.

This is not just about selling books. It's about building a professional, independent presence that reflects the value of your work.

Writers deserve more than exposure. They deserve ownership.
