If You Self-Publish--You Are A Business Owner

I haven't published a book since last year and it is a good feeling to have 2 new books published.

I am sure you all are on some sort of Lock Down due to this new Virus.  I have been on Facebook and have learned that a lot of Self-Published Writers sales are down, big time.  They are not making money like they have in the past months and they are beginning to panic.  They are now short on money to pay for Editors and Book Covers and Formatting.

You have to treat your writing as a Business.  The Book is your Product.  Your books are what you are selling.

I have always said, do not go into debt to be published. 

Amazon has made it so simple and easy to publish.  I published Write Your Testimony and it cost me nothing.  I formatted the file myself, I created the Cover at Kindle Direct Publishing It cost me nothing.  I have a relative to edit my writing. 

I am now in the process of making these two books into Print Books.  I was on the computer for 5 hours while trying to figure out how to set the correct margins for the book The Cross.  I was determined to figure it out, because I am not going to pay someone to do it for me.  There is a PDF book you can download that tells you how to get your file ready for Print.

So I am learning how to do it. 

I love to write.  I wish I could just write, send it off to the Editor, have someone to format my book and I wouldn't have to worry about anything but write.  If I want to publish books I have to learn a few things.  It is not hard, sometimes just time consuming.

Formatting a file for an E-Book is so simple.
Print Version is a bit more complicated.

My advice to you, is to Not Go Into Debt To Be Published.  Do It Yourself.

You can write the best book ever.  You could pay hundreds of dollars for the cover and to be published, that does not mean that you will recoup your money.  There is no guarentee that you will sell copies of your book.

I want to write.  I like to write.  I like to hold my Print Version in my hand.  I like to give my books away and I like to sell books.  I write to live.  I am a writer,

So think before you spend.

If I can publish debt free, so can you.

It is easier than you think

Blogging Around The World

The rain has past.  Yesterday was a very productive day.  I reread the draft of The Cross.  I reread the draft of The Way I like what I have written.  So now I just have to get my but in gear and edit like crazy.  For me that is easier than done.  I look at my desk which is piled up with legal pads, books and now I cannot find anything. I have blogged today.  Check out my other  Blog   I am blogging a scripture a day on the Devotional I am working on.  Jesus said, Go ye into the world, and preach the Gospel.  I feel that is what I am doing by blogging.  Believe it or not, I am getting other countries to my Christian Blog than I am from the USA, which is good.  So I am reaching people all over the world from blogging.  If you want to reach readers from around the world, might want to start blogging.   Blogger  is free and very easy to use.  I have been using Blogger since 2011.  I kno...
