Free registration at the forum removes this block.Thank you so much for taking the time. That's exactly what I was looking for. Basically a summary of what to do. I really appreciate it.STEP 1 -
Make a cover
Send it to all your friends per Email/FB/TWitter
Going for pre-sales
Build interest
Step 2
Finish the book and compile it with Calibre - make a .mobi and upload it to KDP or .epub to NOOK, (however if you want to use KDP select you may not publish on any other platform for 3 months - I have heard KDP select is definititely worth it.)
Step 3
Send mail to you mailing list which you GREW (right???) and announce the book
Also at this point you give a free version to everyone who helped you (don't forget to put them in the back of your book)
Don't forget to put a link to your website or author profile, twitter etc. at the beginning and end of your book! (about the author)
If you want to make money with just a few books you have to do massive marketing in the beginning,
if not you are going for quantity and less marketing,
remember weak marketing = weak results

IMO, don't use any of these, unless you're talking about basic things like paying for copy editing or a cover-design. Just avoid vanity presses, where they charge you lots of money just to get your book "published."There are tons of companies out there for self publishers, but which one do I use
You won't make it.There is tons of advice on here on how to do it. I could spend hours reading the contributions the members here have posted.
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of free hours to invest in reading every single post.
