How To Publish A Book On A Budget: howtowriteabookthatsells.com/how-to-publish-a-book-on-a-budget/

[@evelynbegay2495]

I published my first book on Amazon, but I’ve done little promoting my book. Instead I’m working on my next book. I teach full time so I have limited time: I much prefer writing than promoting. For formatting and cover design help, I used a Norwegian company, who was a dream in helping. As for reviews, I encourage my readers, but it’s not a priority for them. Oddly my book is selling locally, by a local merchant. That was a totally unexpected benefit. I’m well aware this will run its course. I have to add, seeing my book on Amazon still gives me a lift. It’s worth all the trouble:) Author of “Living with my Dead Husband”

Just here to cheer you on! Your channel is so well done and your info is so thorough.

[@thelifeofawriter]

Aww thanks so much! I appreciate you.

[@valenphi]

Your videos and info are just what I was looking for, concise while answering questions I had and haven't thought of. My journey to writing a book and self publishing is new and I imagine it would be challenging yet fun and rewarding in the long run. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾

[@paramedicchrisbookseries]

I've certainly learned a lot since publishing the first paramedic Chris children's book in 2018.

@@paramedicchrisbookseries How's it going after publishing

[@Joi004]

Thanks for this eye opener.

[@au9parsec]

It sounds like self publishing a book is just like running a small business.

[@thelifeofawriter]

Very much so.

[@sallyalter6003]

It is!

[@LameckHali]

It's okay to start small but not thinking small.

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

Absolutely!

[@thelifeofawriter]

Exactly!

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

It's definitely not the easy route!

[@Defineyourglow]

Do you have to use citations or an afterward or bibliography for self help/ spiritual books?

[@LittoMac]

Salute Stefanie Thank you 🙏🏾

[@samuelbullock6164]

Good information and instructions

[@mrwise7067]

Do they have a software, that fix book errors, I downloaded a book that has a lot of words that are far apart 😢

[@thelifeofawriter]

Not that I’m aware of. That’s a formatting issue that the author should have seen in the proofing stage.

[@georgiabennett3869]

Thank you

[@thelifeofawriter]

You're welcome.

[@gsmfreshoilflames7159]

Very informative. Thank you!

You're welcome!

[@mzllanay]

Is there a specific way to gain reviews?

[@thelifeofawriter]

I ask people through email and I also have a page in my back matter where I ask for reviews.

[@mzllanay]

@@thelifeofawriter thank you so much! It's been a challenge for me. 🙏🏽✍️🏽

[@thelifeofawriter]

Yeah they are definitely a challenge! But remember to always ask for what you need because people are less likely to leave a review on their own.

[@benitawalker1670]

Thank you for the information. I would love to write a children book. I need help with getting it started. Will you help me?

[@thelifeofawriter]

Currently I only work with non-fiction authors.

Thanks for all the information

[@thelifeofawriter]

You bet!

[@rayw6442]

I am thinking of writing + publishing a book about a specific banking operation. The audience (I'm guessing) will be small. I suppose self-publishing is the way to go for small audiences?

[@thelifeofawriter]

Self-publishing works for any audience size.

[@deborahchitester9772]

this was good may i ask a question about lulu

[@recovermylife2976]

I low-key wanna give up because websites like amazon kdp and so much more want you to make these very very large books and its so difficult and i wanted to add pictures its like whats the point i wish i can fully make the book by scratch snd just get a copywrite stamp or publishing stamp alot of these webites suck

[@thelifeofawriter]

All of my books are less than 125 pages and published through KDP.

[@ThePurple432]

Thank you.

[@pokemonmasta4831]

Can i self publish a kindle book as a self publisher, but then publish a hard copy with a publisher?

[@thelifeofawriter]

Yes, it is possible to self-publish a Kindle book as a self-published author and then later publish a hard copy with a traditional publisher.
