Get Paid to Read Buy and Sell Books

As a bookstore owner you can get paid to read, recommend, buy and sell books. You will discover what books are new and exciting. You will remember books that are old favorites and not-to-be missed classics. You will be able to stock your shelves with books that you feel really matter.

About a Career as a Bookstore Owner

In our culture, bookstores are seen as social, intellectual and downright hip. Many bookstores are a place of community where people gather and know one another and talk. Your bookstore can also be the site of exciting events, including book signings with famous authors.

As a bookstore owner, you will have the freedom to make your own decisions and express your own creative spirit. You have the luxury of selling the type of books you want to sell.

You can sell all new books, all used books, a combination of both, or even rare and collectible books. You could have a bookstore that sells a variety of categories of books, or specialize in a niche such as science fiction, Christian, feminist, children's or art books.

You can also enjoy an excellent reputation as an important part of your local business community. Many booksellers make a significant impact on the city or town where they live. You could open a bookstore that becomes a town institution or a must-see for tourists.

    Erin Buss, Pineville, MO:

    I found the FabJob Guide to Become a Bookstore Owner very informative and the links to all of the resources are most helpful. As with anything new, you don’t always know the questions to ask. The sample worksheets with all the pertinent questions are very valuable and the quiz to see if this type of job would be a fit was also beneficial.”

    Gary Cooper, www.castlegatebooks.com:

    I bought a copy of ‘Become A Bookstore Owner’ from Fabjob in April. By following the advice from the book I was able to successfully open my own bookstore (Castlegate Books) in December, with no previous bookselling experience. I’ve almost completed my first year and I found the fabjob guide to be invaluable throughout. I’m based in the UK but the information given was still relevant. Thank you.”

    From an article about new bookstore owner Karen Emmerling of Beach Books in Seaside, Oregon, published in the January 24, 2006 issue of the American Booksellers Association newsletter “Bookselling This Week”:

    What she did find especially useful was The FabJob Guide to Becoming a Bookstore Owner (FabJob, Inc.)”

    Gayle Shanks, Co-Owner, Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, Arizona:

    I love selling books. Books change people’s lives. Whether new books or old, I couldn’t sell anything else.”

        "I'm currently an English teacher in South Korea (returning to the States in a few months), so ordering a quick and simple ebook from FabJob.com prevented the hassles of having to order overseas. FabJob.com has given me the confidence to dive in, just like I've always wanted to, whereas before I felt shaky and without a mentor. I'll always go through this ebook for future questions especially during my first year. Thanks!"

        "I purchased the e-book three years ago and I have since started my own company. The book has been my living guide especially in my first year of operation. In many ways, I could not have gone through the starting year without it. This year I am expanding my operation and I was panic stricken for a while to find out that I lost the e-book. I wrote to FabJob about it and in less than an hour I received another copy of it. Congratulations to FabJob! You have great books and your customer service is amazing."
        — Athanasia Nointin, Sabah, Malaysia

        — Katie Martinis, Silver Spring, MD

        "I just downloaded your manual (yesterday) and can’t tell you how helpful it’s been to me. I have had the most difficult time finding resources so stumbling upon your web-site was striking the lottery for me. I can apply just about every great tip to my own job search. Thank you so much for this valuable resource!"
        — Jennifer Minniti, Portland, Oregon

        "Before reading the guide I was curious about getting into the field, but after reading the guide I am CONFIDENT! This guide answered every question I had and provided information I would have never thought of. I am meeting with my business partner this week to lay the plans to our new business and I have FabJob to thank for gathering what I needed to know in one reference. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
