Description:	Print on demand publishing tips for new and known authors? Technology has made it easy for authors wondering how to self-publish a book. Self-publishing offers a cost-effective way to share your book with the masses and make a bit of money off of your writing. Whether you are hoping to self-publish a print book or electronic version, here are eight tips on how to self-publish a book. Purchase an ISBN: An ISBN provides important data about your book to booksellers and labels you as the publisher. You need an ISBN if you want to sell your book. Also, be weary of self-publishing platforms that offer "free" ISBNs. Purchasing your own ISBN ensures that you have full control over it. Kindle Version: In addition to your printed version, you might consider offering a Kindle ebook for sale. The price to convert your book is an one-time cost, and Amazon makes it easy to sell your Kindle version. Amazon only sells Kindle ebooks, they do not sell iPad or Nook. You can make an iPad version of your book, but submitting to the iBookstore is difficult without assistance from a third-party aggregator. Mind your own business. Author Stephanie Bond, who has had her work published both traditionally and independently, told USA Today that writers need to learn about more than just writing: To this day, when aspiring writers ask me what courses they should take - English? Creative writing? Should they pursue their master's in fine arts?-I tell them they should take business classes. (I'm such a killjoy.) But I see so many people with talent who flounder in their careers because they're not prepared for all the business decisions they have to make before and after they sell a book-how to get a good agent, how to recognize a fair offer, and how to hold out for what they want. And making money is only part of it. A writer also has to know how to manage and invest their money. To be a writer is to run your own business. And if you don't mind your business, no one else will.
