How To Build A Self-Publishing Team
Hand tasks you can't do well, or don't enjoy, to skilled people one at a time, after learning the basics. I tested many before a few stayed. How I built mine.
Why Some Readers Don’t Care About Price
Readers buy a book because it solves their problem, so price matters less than authors think. The Kindle and paperback prices I use, and how I raise them.
Should You Write And Publish Short Non-Fiction Books?
Yes. Short non-fiction books still sell when each solves one problem, and a KDP paperback needs only 24 pages, about 3,000 words. What I learned from mine.

Doubting whether your book is worth publishing is common. Your own voice reaches readers others cannot, so publish your book and let them find it.
How Authors Get Paid
KDP pays about 60 days after the end of the sales month, and Expanded Distribution takes about 90. Payment methods, thresholds and what to do with the money.
