Self-publishing, the Way to Go?

Do you want to publish a book?

Do you wonder which way to go?

Think carefully

Don't let the flattery of  a 'proper publisher' blind you to the pros and cons

Here are my top reasons to self-publish, next time round

You are in charge

Pricing? You decide

How much to charge for the e-book or the paperback if you want that as well

You can check the competition and see how to beat it 

You can change the price any time you like

If you feel a discount would boost sales, you decide how much and how long it should last

 Amazon categories? You choose

After pricing, categories are the most influential factor for sales

The smaller the category, the easier it is to reach top 100 in a specific niche

That's a great way to improve visibility

You can add or remove categories as you see fit

Anything else?

If your book isn't selling as well as it should, you can:

Change the cover

Change the title

Change the blurb

Improve keywords

Edit content

and best of all...

You keep all rights

It's your fast track to publication and profit

If you do all of the above, your book will sell and make money for you

70% or more on Amazon e-books

Now, if you're not convinced and still want to go with a publisher, check how much personal guidance you can expect, how your book will be edited (content as well as format?), how much marketing, if any, the publisher will do and what royalties are on offer.

Once you've signed the contract, you can't go back, it's all out of your hands.
