Is Self-Publishing on Kindle Still Worth It?
Yes, but the golden age is over, so you need the right steps in the right order. What the Authors Guild survey says and where I started in 2015.
What Are The Best Self-Publishing Platforms?
Start with Amazon KDP, then add IngramSpark, Draft2Digital, Lulu and ACX one at a time. Fees, formats and why one platform leaves money on the table.
What Is the Best Site for Self-Publishing a Book?
Start on Amazon KDP, run Amazon ads, then add Lulu, IngramSpark and other stores one at a time so one account problem cannot stop all your income.
Is Amazon KDP the Best Place to Start Self-Publishing?
Yes, Amazon KDP is the easiest place to start self-publishing: customers are already there, tools are built in, and you can fix mistakes after you publish.
Is Self-Publishing on Amazon UK Difficult?
No, publishing on Amazon UK is no harder than the US store: you use KDP and pick your territories. UK authors can also make audiobooks on ACX.
Where Should a First-Time Author Publish?
A first-time author should start with a Kindle book on Amazon KDP, then put paperbacks on other platforms so one closed account cannot stop your income.
