Good Advice About Self-Publishing
Self-publishing has been called the "new Vanity". It's been hailed as the "killer of traditional publishing". It has so many opinions swirling around it that folks either read too much about it or completely ignore its presence.
Finding solid advice on self-publishing can be a challenge.
Recently, I read a post on David Gaughran's blog called, 7 Lessons In Self-Publishing I Learnt In The 7th Grade. It's actually a guest post by author Mainak Dhar and I truly can't do it justice by putting a few excepts here—it absolutely needs to be read in its entirety to glean all the wisdom :-)
But still, there will be a few readers who need a taste before they'll go grab the whole meal.
I'll list the titles of the seven lessons Dhar relates but, believe me, if all you do is read them and feel you've gotten enough advice, you're cheating yourself…
1. Embrace what makes you different.
2. First appearances do count.
3. Make the gatekeeper your friend.
4. Create and leverage a portfolio of work.
5. Keep practicing your craft.
6. Re-invest for future success.
7. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
OK, now, please, go read the post; and, I'd love it if you come back and let me know which of the seven lessons was most important for you…
