How Much Are You Paying To Be Self-Published?

How Much Are You Spending On Self Publishing?

I started self-publishing in 2011. The E-Book Market was not crowded. I sold books and was on my way to selling millions. I paid for formatting, book covers, editing.

Then Amazon made it easier to format my files, create covers on their site.

Then The Authors started creating writing courses. They were popping up everywhere. Some authors were reasonable. I took a few writing courses. I learned a lot.

THEN:

The pod casts and web seminars started popping up.

The market is crowded. It is so easy for anyone to publish on Amazon. https://kdp.amazon.com

Now people are charging 500 Dollars for writing courses and 10,000 for a life time. You would be surprised that people are paying for those services.

Don't get me wrong, if that is what you want to do, that is fine.

Don't think that you have to pay that much to become published.

Some authors are paying up to 500 dollars for a book cover. That is fine is you can afford it.

Why go into debt? I am a firm believer to live debt free.

So think before you spend your money.

GOD IS GOOD

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me. I still turned my computer on and started writing. That is the only way the story is going to get written. Do I feel like writing? Nope. Do if feel like Blogging? Nope. I write cause that is what I do. So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect. I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what. whether I feel like it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
