About

The Self Publishing Checklist is a comprehensive resource for aspiring and current self-published authors. It provides detailed guidance on establishing and running a successful self-publishing business while enhancing one’s writing skills. We try to emphasize the importance of setting realistic income and publishing goals, deciding what tasks to handle personally versus outsourcing, and conducting thorough market research.

• Guides and Resources: Advice on setting income and publishing goals, market research, reader expectations, and book cover design.
• Services: Recommendations on hiring editors, cover designers, and marketing professionals.
• Tools: Suggestions for using specific software and platforms for eBook and paperback publishing, keyword research, and sales tracking.
• Marketing Strategy: Tips on building author assets like websites and social media profiles, using mailing lists, and launching with ads and promotions.
• Community Engagement: Encourages collaborations with other authors and building early review teams through Advanced Review Copies (ARCs).
