How to Self-Publishing?

SELF-PUBLISHING: A GENIUS MONEY-MAKING IDEA

For a lot of people, publishing a book may look like it costs lots of money. For example, on a short-run press, this book costs around $2.10 to print.

For the uninitiated, self-publishing is one of the easiest ways to make money in the world. Of course, it requires some talent, but they are easy to learn. Take a look:

1. Choose a subject to write about. Select something you enjoy or want to know more about yourself. As just an example, we'll use "Household Hints"

2. Now, to collect the information to put in my book about "household hints" I would go visit my mother, talk to my aunts and cousins, call friends on the phone, and in general _ ask everybody I came into contact with to give me their favorite "household hint." After a few months I'd have a lot of stuff.

3. At this point I would start categorizing all this information. I'd put all the stuff about "kitchen tips" in a separate file from "home remedies". Each separate file would be a new chapter in my book.

4. Then I'd begin typing out my book on a computer or typewriter. If I were to type the book myself, I would simply number each tip as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with a heading for each tip.

5. Okay. Now the book is ready to print. You've read everything and there are no misspelled words or obvious grammar mistakes. You are ready to see the final result of your labors. How much will it cost? Let's assume that my "household hints" book is going to measure 5" wide by 8" tall (like a sheet of 8 1/2x11" paper folded in half.) There are 2 pages on each side or 4 pages front and back. These are the best size for mail order unless you write a 100-page novel.
