Ultimate Guide to Successful
Self-Publishing
by Paul Ziglar
Why so many entrepreneurs are attracted to self-publishing? The publishing business is very appealing. It offers low startup costs, low risks and high potential rewards. The business can be run from home with very low overhead and at the same time can have a large number of customers from around the world.
The publishing business is not a get rich quick scheme. However, is not uncommon for a publishing business to start with less than $3,000 equipment and with a powerful copywriting and good marketing plan generate over $20,000 a month within a year. This business is famous for its millionaire success stories.
As a publisher of nonfiction and how-to information, you don’t need any writing skills. The opportunities for making profit from how-to information are virtually unlimited. Self-publishing is perhaps the best opportunity that’s available to anyone with an average intelligence, starting with little money, and still make a fortune.
Publishing a book establishes the credentials for an author. You will gain recognition as an authority on a given subject. Your book can have impact on the lives of thousands of people. Your words could influence the thoughts and actions of your readers.
Once you have established your reputation as an expert on one area, it is much easier to come up with another book on the same subject. You will be able to use the same contacts to promote, market, and distribute your new book.
Self-published book if successful can be picked up by a big publisher. Several years ago, inspirational speaker James Redfield sold 90,000 copies of his book, The Celestine Prophecy. Later, Warner Books paid $800,000 for the world rights. There are now more than 6 million copies of the book in print. This book is also available in audiotape. And there are many other self-publishers who have reached fames and fortunes.
Why Self-Publishing is the Ideal Business
Self-publishing can be the road to independence and financial freedom. It can be a motivating factor for entrepreneurs to launch their own business and turn their dreams into reality. There is less government regulation in publishing than in most other businesses.
The biggest advantage is you can begin your business part-time while keeping your present job. You work at your own pace and schedule. After you have gained more experience and confidence in your business, then you may want to expand by publishing other’s work and bring deserving writers to the public’s attention. Here are some of the benefits:
- Low startup cost. A small publishing company can be started with minimal equipment. The main equipment needed is phone, computer, word processing software, and a laser printer. Many self-publishing businesses have been started with only several hundred dollars. Such a small amount to start a nationwide or international business is incredible. Other businesses that make the kind of profits and margins require enormous amounts of starting capital.
- Low overhead cost. A small publishing company doesn’t require a storefront. The business can be operated from home. It is not necessary to hire editorial pros, proofreaders, graphic designers, copywriters, advertising agents, or public relations people. Most of the work can be contracted out. Outside printing, duplication services, order taking and answering services eliminate the need for staff and expensive office equipment. At the same time, you can do any of these jobs yourself.
- Low product development cost. Self-published works are relatively cheap to produce. The only cost in producing many of the information products is labor. One person can create a book or newsletter by using a personal computer. Many of the expenses are tax deductible.
- Low product reproduction cost. An information product can be digitized or reproduced at print shops or duplication houses for a small amount of money.
- High market demand. The demand for books and information products continue to grow. The vast majority of information products can be sold anywhere in the world. Your market is the entire planet and your customers are mostly intelligent consumers.
- High perceived value relative to cost. Information products sell for 10 to over 100 times of their costs.
- Low marketing cost. Successful publishers create products for pre-defined markets. The use of press releases, product reviews, and direct-response marketing allows the publisher to start small and roll out marketing in stages.
- Small inventory requirements. Books, manuals, CD-ROMs and DVDs can be quickly reproduced.
- Low break-even points. With a low product reproduction cost and low overhead cost, it is easy to break even quickly.
- No competition. You possess all rights. Not only publishing rights, but audio rights, video rights, and foreign sales rights. Continued marketing through self-publishing will build steady demand and generate greater income over a long period of time.
- You are in control. You retain complete control over your work. As a self-publisher, you can edit the content, choose the title and cover design, determine the price, plan the promotion, and collect all the profits. You can turn your book into e-book, CD-ROM, audiotape, newsletter, magazine article, and any combination to provide an irresistible offer.
- Tremendous flexibility. Major book publishers are slow in getting a book finished and into stores. It usually takes 14 to 18 months for a book to go through the publishing process. On the other hand, a self-publisher can quickly react to market demand for creating a new product or modifying an existing one in less than 6 months. Self-publishers also don’t rely solely on bookstores, but combining several different marketing techniques to move a title over a long period of time.
- Tremendous profit potential. You can have hundreds of affiliates selling your books for you. You can create an informative e-book and start selling it through many available channels of distribution or through your own blog or website.
As a self-publisher, you can live anywhere in the world, work in a prestigious field when you want to, and create a lifestyle for yourself others only dream of. And when you’re ready to sell the business, it’s one of the most attractive to prospective buyers.
We are now witnessing our industrial-based economy changing into an information-based economy. This presents a good opportunity for self-publishers to succeed and profit from the most powerful trend that is just beginning to explode.
Self-publishing can be the least expensive way of starting a business. Your published work can generate income for many years while reaching millions of people with your ideas.
Many entrepreneurs around the country are creating and marketing their work. Many people without previous publishing experience are succeeding in this business, mainly because of the low start-up costs and the high margin profits. You can find advertisements for self-published works in virtually every publication and electronic media.
If you have experience in a specific field or willing to do some research, you can come up with an interesting book. If you don’t have any writing ability, you can still produce a manuscript by using the services of ghostwriters, editors, or simply purchasing the rights to an existing manuscript.
Self-published works may include books, manuals, reports, newsletters, directories, works of fiction, etc. Any information can be stored on a CD-ROM, DVD, or printed copy can be transferred through a wire line. Internet is a perfect environment for marketing self-published works. A potential buyer can be charged before he or she can access or download the information through a computer.
Today’s self-publishers can start up a website or communicate through email almost free. The information within a book can be downloaded through a website without any costs of printing, postage or shipping.
The publishing business is very appealing. It offers low startup costs, low risks and high potential rewards. The business can be run from home with very low overhead and at the same time can have a large number of customers from around the world.

What are some facts in Self-Publishing?
There are several facts about publishing you need to be aware of:
- More than 50 percent of all books sold in the United States are sold through direct-response marketing.
- The secret of success in self-publishing is marketing.
- Bestseller lists have little to do with the number of books sold in the United States. They reflect only those books sold in bookstores. The list is compiled from information supplied by few major bookstores.
- Marketing a book through bookstores can be expensive and time-consuming. You are competing for shelf space with over 80,000 other titles.
- It takes several weeks if not months to collect from bookstores or distributors. You will receive cash with order when you sell direct to your customers.
- If you are equipped with desktop publishing, your only cost of the book will be printing. A book may cost only $2 to $4 a copy to print. CD-ROM duplication cost less than $1. If you sell electronic version of your book, there is no duplication or printing cost.
- You don’t have to be a writer to self-publish a book. Many popular books are ghostwritten collaborations.
The self-publisher deals directly with the printer and handles as many of the writing, editing, proofing, typesetting, promotion and distribution jobs as he or she can. What they can’t do, they contract out to other companies. If you are on a tight budget, you will be doing most of the work, including research, writing, editing, designing, typesetting, copywriting, marketing and advertising.
