Publish my book guides for new and known authors? Be Realistic: The self-publishing revolution has made it so that anyone with a story can publish a book, which resulted in a flood of content on top of all of the books published by traditional publishers each year, which is to say, you most likely won’t sell millions of copies or be a New York Times bestseller, but there are plenty of realistic author goals you can achieve, so be thoughtful about what goals you set for yourself and your book and then put steps in place to achieve them. Success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes dedication and business savvy.

Host an autograph party: Send out invitations and flyers in advance to advertise the release of your book. Arrange speaking engagements: Offer to speak for free as an expert in your field and subject matter, and sell copies of your book afterward. This could be at a local library, community college or coffee house. Enter Competitions: Check out the Writer’s Digest International Self-Publishing Book Awards, (Independent Publisher Book Awards) Ippy Awards or the Ben Franklin Awards sponsored by IBPA, The Independent Book Publisher’s Association.

Get help, but do it yourself. When asked how she handles her workload, Jasina Wilder—a successful, self-published romance writer—told Heather C. Myers of the blog, Portside Wonderland I do it all.

But all the final work and final decisions are mine.
