Publish Your Own Books
What are the cons of self-publishing your own book?

Self-publishing is publishing a book yourself. The key requirement is being an entrepreneur. Many reference books are available on how to be successful at self-publishing. If you are a self-starter, go to the writing section of a bookstore and buy one.

Advantages of self-publishing include total control over design, content, cover and title; you can get the book to the marketplace much faster (two months compared to 12-18 months for a large publisher); you have more profit per book, up to $5-$10. You get only .50 cents to $2 from a publisher. If you are successful, it is a stepping-stone to a major publisher. Self-publishing is considered respectable in the publishing industry.

Disadvantages of self-publishing include investing your own money up front–usually several thousand dollars; and needing to spend about 20 hours per week promoting your own book You have to not only write your book but edit, design, print, distribute and market it. It’s a full-time job.

Promotions, publicity and marketing are what makes or breaks a book. You must be willing to be a publicist or have enough money to pay one. If writing, not promoting, is your passion, self-publishing may not be for you.
