The business plan is your responsibility – we only provide the raw materials – so make sure that your income will be higher than your costs!

Slide 15 : Make Money with English Banana.com Free Licences http://www.englishbanana.com 6. Free Licence to Run Courses – Examples of Use Case Study 2: THAILAND (Bangkok) “I teach English in Thailand at one of the most influential all boys colleges in Bangkok. I also teach privately and have found the Talk a Lot program both fast, effective and professional… I work and teach English in Thailand. I have used your materials for around 12 months and have found them to be an excellent source for materials and information. As a qualified teacher from England and now a licensed teacher in Thailand, I am involved with teaching in both the classroom and privately. My project is to expand my private teaching using Talk a Lot exclusively as I have found that it really covers all aspects of teaching English. My goal is to get the language off the page and out of the students' mouths. Talk a Lot has helped me to do this very successfully…” Case Study 3: JAPAN (Tokyo) “I am currently teaching English in Japan, working for others. I want to do my own thing here and I would like for your courses to be a big part of my program. My students and I really enjoy your courses. The course will be used at my home and business. Thank you very much!”

Slide 16 : Make Money with English Banana.com Free Licences http://www.englishbanana.com 6. Free Licence to Run Courses – Examples of Use Case Study 4: USA (Bronx, New York City) “The name of my school is Liberty Learning Group. The idea behind my project is practice makes perfect, especially when it comes to learning English. I established this idea to help all people in my community with help in learning English, but in a group keeping in step with our community. Together we learn more. I currently have over 45 members between both my groups... I thought of going to the next step and using computers to help in the practice of learning English by having students go to the library and visit your website and enjoy using your materials and lessons to better themselves. I plan to use your materials to review and reinforce what they learned. I will use your website English Banana.com to have my members read and complete lessons. For those who do not have access to computers I have purchased two computers from eBay to assist in reaching my goal.”

Slide 17 : Make Money with English Banana.com Free Licences http://www.englishbanana.com 7. Why Free Licences? Yes, distribution of EB.com materials = we get paid. We get paid when people visit our site. But… the primary goal is altruistic, charitable, philanthropic, humanitarian… to make the world a better place. We believe that education should be free – with the opportunity to learn English open to all. “There is no wealth but life.” John Ruskin, social thinker (1819-1900)

Slide 18 : Make Money with English Banana.com Free Licences http://www.englishbanana.com 7. Why Free Licences? “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” Leo Tolstoy, writer (1828-1910)

Slide 19 : Make Money with English Banana.com Free Licences http://www.englishbanana.com 7. Why Free Licences? Why do it? Because I can! I own the rights to these materials, and I want to do it. Paradox: the more we give away, the more we receive… Like any writer, I want my work to be read, and also to be useful. I believe that it’s far better for many people to use the materials for free, than for a handful of people to use them and pay. “I feel that the quotation at the top of this page says it all: ‘There is no wealth but life.’ What do we have of value, really, apart from life? Life is fleeting, so if somebody sees value in my work – the English Banana.com materials – and can use it to improve their quality of life, I’m very happy for them to do so. I hope that perhaps you will be able to benefit from one or both Free English Banana.com Licences.”

Slide 20 : 7. Why Free Licences? Some statistics from the book trade: Selling at least 20,000 hardbacks in any genre is considered to be a great success: http://askaliteraryagent.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-many-copies-must-book-sell-to-be.html “The average trade book sells about 2,000 copies the first year, maybe a couple hundred a year on backlist after that for a few years…” http://www.fonerbooks.com/q_sales.htm “Most books sell fewer than 100 copies a year.” http://talentunmasked.com/pages.php?pageid=2 “For publishers, in turn, there are many books that never make back the money they cost to publish and launch.” http://www.thebookseller.com/in-depth/feature/69193-are-the-kids-all-right.html “In 2004, 950,000 titles out of the 1.2 million tracked by Nielsen Bookscan sold fewer than 99 copies. Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies. Only 25,000 sold more than 5,000 copies. The average book in America sells about 500 copies.” (Publishers Weekly, July 17, 2006) http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6353274.html “The average book sales last year for all authors was 99 copies. To sell 250,000 copies of a book puts you into the top 99.992% of all authors; a very lofty position… Most books sell 7,500 copies over the entire lifetime of the book. That is probably a more realistic goal…” http://en.allexperts.com/q/Published-E-published-2388/2009/9/book-sales.htm The internet makes it possible to share! The distribution problem is solved.
