- I self-publish my books through SEVEN different companies: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Ingramspark, Draft2Digital (D2D), Google Play, Kobo, Apple Books, and Barnes and Noble Press. In this video I'll share why I use each of these companies (and the one company I DON'T work with anymore).

UPDATE: as of June 2023, Ingramspark removed their initial uploading fees, and I believe also any fees to make changes for 60 days. This is a great improvement and step in the right direction!
Published via KDP this week and have sold 52 books so far. Very exciting but I am looking at using a few other platforms just to see what impact that has on my sales. Your guidance has been instrumental in my success of being self-published!
Authors are so hush hush about distribution. thanks for lifting the veil and saving me hours of research. i subscribed
Wow... that was incredibly informative. As a first-time author, the publishing realm is absolutely foreign to me. I never set out to author a book, let alone publish one. But here I am... nearly sixty and learning to reinventing myself with four books, that until now, I had only dreamed of writing. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insight. Incredibly helpful.
Hello, I'm a 17-year-old author, and I'm excited to share that I'm publishing my very first children's sports book. Your video was incredibly informative and helpful, and I appreciate all the valuable information it provided. I would be delighted if you could share even more insights and advice on this topic. Thank you for your guidance!
LITERALLY A LIFE SAVER!! I'm currently looking into websites! My debut SKELETON FLOWER will be available on the 30th of this month! Thanks, Bethany <3
Just came across you in my research. Im in uk. Most of i find seems to be US. The question I have is about profits and quality. I had a book published by a small publisher, but it turned out to not be a good thing at all. My book was professionally edited, and they put it up as an ebook. So , ive been writing stories and poetry since i could hold a pencil, doesnt make me talented, but it is inherent ! And i often get asked , how do i write a book, should i write a book? My answer is the same advice i was given, dont ! Unless you have to, it is something you feel you must do, because . You need to learn your craft, study, fail, edit, over and over. Needless to say, im driven to write. Point of saying this is this: there are so many people now writing and publishing books and ive received some duds to say the least of people clearly thinking they can write anything and sell it, without professional editing, references etc .... what can you do or say to indicate that as an indie author, you are professional, have paid to have it edited, and that whay you have is a book worth buying ? And .... there are all sorts figures out there about what money indie authors make and on average its 500 pa (not sure if thats dollars or pounds!) But is that really all your to expect generally from say, a paperback book? So is it about how you market, or the combo of marketing and proffesionalism? But how would a reader know that the hreat looking product wit a nice civer, is actially a badly or well written book? If you are relying solely on just one person randomly choosing to buy your book, then hoping that one person gives a goid review (which in my experience most people dont bother with even if they liked it !) Then a good book could just sit there, just like the trad publishing simply ruined yr chances of a successful book because they missed a particular window for your book. It seems that just putting your hard written book, with lots of effort in the publishing too, is really a stab in the dark especially when up against so much "unfiltered" stuff. But i have 3 more books in my head, scribbles everywhere and really want to do them and get them out there !!! Im being a bit disabled by wondering how to make it worthwhile, and im doing other unrelated work too but im 60 and its about time some of this was published ! Many thanks
Very useful information thanks (a question: does each platform requires different ISBN for the same book?)
Thank you so much! I have been publishing my book through online platforms only but now I am trying to overcome my fear of rejection and try to venture into self publishing, thanks!
You're awesome. Thank you for sharing this and spreading the knowledge around. Being a young writer myself and trying to publish my first book, this is so huge!
I have to give you props:
You are so great at explaining all of this! Thank you so much!
I am thrilled that I came across your page! I am new to the author/publishing world and by far your page is the most helpful!! I am about to binge-watch all your videos and take notes! I can't thank you enough!!😁
Thank you for explaining the differences, your experience, and your self publishing strategies ❤
Very informative video. Thank you so much!
This was super helpful. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for the wealth of information. You are providing valuable insight and guidance.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and this info! Venturing into self publishing is overwhelming
Thankyou so, so much for all of your amazing videos. You are incredibly helpful and most importantly, you make it sound so exciting. Looking to self publish within the next 12 months, just trying to do my research. Again, thankyou.❤
I was literally about to invest thousands of dollars to a self-publishing company who promises to take new writers from dream to best-selling published author. This has helped me (even if slightly overwhelming because I'm new to this lol) and given me confidence to pursue self-publishing myself.
