    Five years ago I was a professional speaker desperately in need of my own book. After each presentation members of my audience would approach me and ask if had a book, CD, or manual  for sale. The need was obvious. The market existed. All I needed to do was write a book or manual and bring it to my audiences. This is how my first book was born.

    I wrote my first book , “Embracing the Mystery ”nonstop for two months and finally  had it written and illustrated with my own original cartoons.

 The question facing me now was who would be chosen from among thousands of publishers to bring my masterpiece to the waiting, eager multitudes.

    After many submissions to numerous mainstream  publishing houses and many rejection slips, I finally found one who agreed to publish my book. 

The problem was that they couldn’t get around to it for about a year and a half.  I would  receive 20% of the retail cost of each copy sold and  would have to do most of the promotion and marketing  myself.

    This arrangement just wasn’t satisfactory. I needed the book as soon as possible and I wanted to receive more than 20% of each copy sold. 

It was then that I decided to enter the world of self publishing and started Motivational Plus Publications.

    Five hundred copies of my first book  were printed as a test run and I sold them all within the year as “ back of the room” items at my speeches and seminars.

Since I wasn’t on the road speaking 365 days of the year I wanted to have my book available for purchase seven days a week whether I was speaking or not. I created a store  and connected it to my speaking website. I was in business.

    With inexpensive and free well chosen and well directed advertising online and off I began to receive orders in my mailbox and by email. As sales increased so did the number of published items in my store. 

At present I have over 20 information products, manuals, books, tapes, and special reports available for purchase from two stores.

 In my first year as a self publishing tycoon I sold 200 copies of my products online alone and  another 200 from offline ads. Add these sales to those at my talks and you can see that I was off and running as a self publisher. The orders seem to increase in number each month.

At present I frequently sell $100 and up per night from my stores and my offline ads while I sleep.   It is fantastic to get up in the morning and find orders waiting for me in my email inbox and my regular snail mail. 
                   
   

Writers are no longer dependent on the acceptance and approval of editors and publishers. Using the  internet as well as offline classified ads in popular magazines you can bring your writing directly to a wide and eager market.

People are always seeking “ how to” information. In fact the most sought after items on the internet are information products. So if you research peoples’ needs, wants and interests then write to satisfy them you are going to sell effectively.

   

Self publishing is simple and cost effective especially if you print on demand.  You don’t print a copy of your product until you get an order for that product.

By doing this you avoid the cost of having 500 copies printed plus having to find storage space in your already cluttered basement.

   

Another idea that works well for me by avoiding shipping and handling costs plus the cost of printing hard copies, is selling my manuals, books and CDS as downloadable  pdf files.

Once you have the file up and running and connected to a third party credit card processing company  you do nothing but check the sales and calculate your profits.  It really is terrific.

   
If you have the writing bug and have received enough rejection slips to wallpaper a bedroom, try self publishing.   When that first order comes in you will feel great satisfaction and  a surge of self confidence which will, inevitably, result in more sales. You will be on your way to conquering the world of self publishing and earning fantastic profits in the process. 
GOOD LUCK!
