How much have YOU made on your self-published book?

Having a pook self-published and making money depends on your marketing to make it a success. I do not give out the amount of money I make on anything on the Internet but you can make money through self-publishing.

Some feel that self-published books are not of the quality of those through traditional publishers. This is not true and this opinion is starting to increase in popularity. Any publishing activitiy requires active participation by the author whether you self-publish or are lucky to get a traditional contract.

When I was looking for a publisher for my story GAMEPLAYER: The Genesis Portal, I was contacted by several self-publishers and the one thing that stood out was that you're paying them a lot of money. One company stated that it would probably cost me about ten thousand dollars to get my book out and that there was virtually no chance of re-cooping the money. So if you have a lot of money to spend and it's worth it to see your name on a book cover, go ahead and self-publish.

I've helped two people edit books they self-published. They both were unable to sell more than a few copies after investing all the money to get them published. I wouldn't recommend it.

Making money by self-publishing is almost impossible.
