The Truth About Self-Publishing (That No One Tells You)
96The Truth About Self-Publishing (That No One Tells You)
Let’s talk about something a lot of writers avoid: money.
Everyone says “write for the love of it,” but the moment you try to actually publish something? Suddenly, you're staring down quotes for $15,000, feeling like you're about to finance a small wedding… except the only thing getting married is your bank account and despair.
In this video, I go over:
– Why I haven’t self-published my trilogy (hint: it rhymes with “money”)
– The dark side of indie publishing no one wants to admit
– Real stories from real authors who lost thousands chasing the dream
– Why being a “bestseller” doesn’t always mean profit
– The myth of “just do your own editing and cover!”
– And yes, why it’s okay to say “nope, not worth it” without guilt
📉 If you’ve ever wondered whether self-publishing is worth the cost, this one’s for you.
💬 Real talk. A little funny. A little sad. Fully honest.
