Did you know that most publishers charge you the wholesale price (or higher) for your own book unless you buy it in bulk?
The wholesale price! How are you supposed to make any money that way? The wholesale price is what retailers will expect to pay.
Make sure your author copy price is always BELOW wholesale (and if you compare around, you will find that self-publishers with solid author prices are usually dollars-per-book below other publishers). On a side note, some of these publishers pull authors in with low upfront fees. It becomes apparent where they do make their money.
Some publishers also attempt to conceal this by offering “bulk discounts” on large book orders of 100, 200, 500, or more.
Do you really want to buy 500 copies all the time, just to get a reasonable “per unit” price? Sure, when your book is first published, this might be okay because you’ll need marketing copies.
But what about 1-3 years down the road, when you just want 10 quick copies? Then what will each book cost you? Something to think about…
Have fun and keep writing.

Have you ever visited a website and see near the bottom there is a graphic that is related to the content of the page and is inviting you to explore another website with similar content or information?
That is known as a webring. There are webrings for all subjects and interests.
A great way to promote your self published book to people who would be interested in it would be to join a webring on your book’s subject matter.
You can find a directory of webrings here:
Once you join, you will get the “HTML CODE” to cut and paste into your website. Simply copy the entire snippet of code and paste the snippet of code where you want it to appear on your website.
Good luck and have fun!
