Type “publish book” in the search bar. This question gets asked and answered 15 times a day. You will find some really thought out, insightful answers if you just put forth a tiny bit of effort to look for them.
How well a book sells is heavily dependent on what the author’s goals are and how actively they choose to promote their book. Some of our authors are very visible, talking on the radio, organizing book signings, and reaching and exceeding their sales goals. Our higher-selling authors have sold over 5000 copies so far. On the flip side, we have some authors that have only sold a few copies, mostly to friends and family, because that’s all they wanted to sell. We believe our authors will sell more and more copies as we continue to introduce services that will give them the ability to market their books more effectively, but in the long run, sales are a reflection of each author’s goals. If becoming a bestselling author is your goal, you will be working to achieve maximum sales. If you are publishing your family’s history or a personal memoir you may only wish to have your book available to family and friends. How well your book sells is entirely up to you.

I really don’t recommend self-publishing. An independently run publishing house would be the better alternative. They’re above board, and the author still gets at least a bit of control.
I would ask them to explain to the people here in loud and easy to understand terms why self publishing sucks.

Hi,
Have you thought about publishing on the internet. This is called an e-book. It can be downloaded by thousands of people at a price you establish. The easiest way is to use Click Bank to handle the details once you have created your book. Suppose you price your book at $47.00. Click Bank will take 50% and you get to keep the rest.
Check out Amazon for books like From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur: Make Money with Books, E-books, and Information Products (Paperback)
by Stephanie Chandler.
Kindest Personal Regards,

P.S. To turn your knowledge into revenue get this book which explains in an easy step-by-step method how to create an e-book: http://myks.sitesell.com/waltera1.html
P.P.S. If you don’t want to split the profits with Click Bank, then create your own Web site and sell e-books from your Web site.
P.P.P.S. Search for electronic publishing on Amazon.
First, write the book, then worry about publication. Finish your book, revise it several times, get feedback on it and revise again.
Then go to your library and check out the latest Writers Market. Read writing forums, like absolutewrite.com.
Go to the bookstore and look at books similar to yours. Write down who published them, then go to the publisher’s website to read their submission guidelines. You may find that they are closed to unsolicited submissions, and if so you will need an agent. agentquery.com is one good resource for information on agents.
You want to do as much research as you can, and remember never pay any reading fees or editing fees. Be wary of things that sound too good to be true.
Publishing is hard and takes a long time. There is a lot of waiting, and rejection. You need a thick skin and a lot of patience.
That depends on what it is and who the distributor is. I have a phone number to get sales figures for one of the main distributors in America, but it isn’t anything I could post here. Pax-C
I have not tried Book Surge but I am writing a book. I am curious why you wouldn’t go through a traditional publisher and let them market the book for you?
me, I have several in fact. they’re about IT-related topics, very small niches.
What is the cheapest way to publish and market a book on Amazon.com’s book surge?
Has anyone already went through the process of publishing a book on Book Surge? I’m looking into it but I need to know the cheapest way to go. Should I use their marketing or Amazon’s to bring it into the Borders list or advertise myself on Amazon and Borders. Please let me know if you have tried Book Surge. Thank you, Heather
