Self-Publishing Process - Day 27 Video Lecture | Become a Writer: Enhance your Writing skills - Communication

hi everybody welcome back to day 27 and
I want to talk to you today and continue
talking about the self-publishing
process some tips and resources so here
we go
a lover buddy
Garrett Pearson back to you with day 27
and we're gonna focus on today the
self-publishing process and if you
didn't watch yesterday's video day 26
and you need to go back and watch that
and you can do that right here okay day
26 you need to watch that video because
I went through the steps through my
workbook I went through the steps of
everything that you need to do to get
ready to get your book self-published
and send it to the printer okay so I
give you a lot of tips and resources
yesterday so go back and watch that now
today I want to continue the process and
talking about the self-publishing
process okay now here's the big deal
here's the bottom line you don't have to
do everything that I talked about in
yesterday's video you can outsource all
of it and you should okay and you can
find lots of people and some of the the
outsourcing areas that I love are
elance.com that's my number one that's
my favorite odesk.com guru comm you can
find editors you can find typesetters
you can find anybody to help you with
your cover design from anything that you
need done now bottom line it is going to
cost money to do this so if you don't
have the money to do it you're gonna
have to borrow the money or you're gonna
have to do all these things yourself and
again unless you are an amazing designer
you know how to types it and you know
how to edit I suggest you get somebody
to do it because it's gonna be worth the
money that you spend now you can
literally get a book get all those
things done that I just mentioned for
about $2,000 or less or more depending
on who you find so if you do your
research and you get out there on Google
and you just start searching or you go
to these freelance websites and you
start finding these people then you can
get some really good deals and so find
some really good people and you can work
with them for your other books as well
now there is another option
and that is what I call vanity press or
vanity publishing and there's a lot of
them out there I would just suggest you
go to google.com and search vanity
vanity publishers or vanity press or
anything like that what these companies
do is they're a lot of times they're
also print-on-demand companies and they
work with self publishers and they have
packages where they'll edit your book
they'll create your cover they'll
typeset your book they'll get it all
ready for you to publish but you still
are the self publisher of that book okay
so you can work with these vanity
publishers or they also call them micro
publishers so you can find these on
Google and again they have these
packages that you can purchase that are
very affordable that will help you do
all the things that I mentioned I
personally have never used one so I
can't give you any suggestions just go
to google and start looking for these
vanity publishers now just beware that
when you do call or email into these
guys they are salesmen so they're gonna
bug you so just be careful when you go
to these guys but I've heard a lot of
good things about these vanity
publishers again they do print on demand
they'll post your book to all the major
retailers and they can do a lot extra
things with marketing as well marketing
your book so that is another suggestion
here's the thing guys if you're going to
go to self-publishing route you have to
be patient and you have to just stick to
your plan so stick to your plan of
finding a proofreader stick to your plan
of finding a copy editor stick to your
plan to finding a designer secure plan
to finding a printer just follow your
plan and keep moving just like I've been
telling you this whole time of writing
your book just keep moving
get that book published so that again
you can hold it in your hands and you
can get your message out there or your
story to the world okay now if you need
any help or if you need to have any

resources and tips to help you get your
