Hey there, folks! Now I’m gonna spill some beans on how you can market your book at lightning speed and keep a whopping 90% of those sweet profits all to yourself.

Ever heard the rumor that a publisher is gonna catapult your book to a million copies? Total baloney, my friends.

But fear not, for the self-publishing route can make you way richer. Let me explain why…

Imagine you’ve got a game-changing idea that everyone wants to snatch up and sell to a publisher. Now, why on God’s green earth would I advise against that?

‘Cause here’s the ugly truth: You ain’t gonna sell squat unless you’re the next Steven King or some folks like that.

First and foremost, let’s face it, publishers ain’t gonna advertise your book for ya. Nope, they simply put it out there.

They send it to bookstores, where it stacks up and collects dust. Unless, of course, lady luck shines upon you and your book catches the eye of a customer strolling through the store, and they decide to buy it. Or, unless you’re clever enough to bag yourself some radio show appearances to sell your masterpiece.

But guess what? Even if all that happens, you’re still only gonna make a measly percentage from the publisher. That’s right, they get most of it.

So, here’s the bitter reality check: If you manage to sell 5,000 copies as a published author, you’re pretty darn lucky. And you’ll be raking in a buck or two per copy. Crunch those numbers, and the most you’re gonna score is 10 grand. And let’s be real, nobody can live large on 10k.

So, bottom line, you’re basically making chump change.

Sure, sure, it’s a proud moment when you strut into that bookstore and spy your book on those shiny shelves. You can puff out your chest and say, “Hey, look at what I’ve achieved!” But what does that really get you?

Zip, zilch, nada. No cash in your pockets, my friend.

Now, if you dare to self-publish that baby, it might only cost you a single dollar to print up a boatload of books. And guess what? You can slap a price tag of 20 bucks on it, sell 5,000 copies a month, and bingo, you’ve hit the jackpot!

Now we’re talking big bucks!

But hold your horses, ’cause there’s a catch. You gotta handle your own marketing, my friend. That’s the secret sauce.

A lot of folks, when they dive into their writing journey, don’t exactly have a treasure chest full of doubloons to splurge on advertising.

But whether you choose self-publishing or the good ol’ conventional route, let me tell you, your sales will directly mirror the sweat and tears you pour into securing some killer publicity.
