There are now over 1 million self-published titles each year

The self-publishing industry is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. There are now over 1 million self-published titles in the US alone. What does that mean?

Two things:

More opportunity: Not only is self-publishing growing, but the way readers are consuming books is diversifying. Audiobooks are on a similar upward path as self-publishing and I already told you what’s happening in the podcast world.

More competition: With more opportunity inevitably comes more competition. It’s now easier than ever to self-publish a book but harder than ever to stand out from the crowd. You’ll have to get creative in how you market and promote your books.
