Author describes his experience with self publishing his ebook

Bill Quick describes his experiences in self publishing his novel as an ebook.

I purchased no advertising, paid no agent, and have no costs other than my time in writing the thing, and bandwidth, which I'd be paying anyway. Moreover, the entire process is automated, so after the initial several hours spent in formatting, setting up a PayPal page, and writing a download page, I do nothing but watch the money roll in.

Keep in mind that the auther is an esablished blogger with manuy daily readers and many online contacts, but still it is nice to see him break out the economics of it.

POD, e-publishing and self publsihing are the future - no doubts!
When I'd finished writing Secret Revelation, I had the choice to go with my agent, get a publishing contract and watch my work decimated by the industry for a limited run of 5000 copies and no marketing support - or build my own book and publish it in the way I felt it deserved.
I now have the book, the website ( www.secretrevelation.com) and a potential movie deal.

All from my work - not from the publishing company. (By the way I used iUniverse and Scribendi.com)

It may not sell like the DaVinci Code or Harry Potter - but it is what I intended it to be. drop by my site to get more insights into creating your own self published work.
