How Much Does Self-Publishing COST and How Much Do You EARN?

Hey there rebel!

From all the questions about self-publishing, these two are the most commonly asked and pervasive online:

  • how much does it cost?

  • how much will I earn?

If you’re asking yourself these questions, this is where I answer them.

Just watch the video and you’ll find out how to self-publish your book in the most affordable way and what to expect after.

This is not one of those things that will make you rich quick, but if you’re like me and you LOVE writing, I know you’re not doing it for the money.

And yet, it’s good to know what to expect…

How to Self-Publish Your Book For FREE in 2020 (Unpopular Opinion)

How to Self-Publish Your Book For FREE in 2020 (Unpopular Opinion)

Hey there rebel!

I bet you’re following a lot of indie authors, a lot of author channels, and so on, and you know that they always hire professional editors, designers, etc.

And that’s beautiful! Making sure your book is the best quality is great.

However… a well-off youtuber can’t really recommend that to a broke mom of five who can barely make ends meet because that mom’s first book is not going to make any money, so what is she supposed to do? Take out a loan? Amidst a pandemic? I don’t think so…

She might as well forget about publishing then - the agents reject her, the self-publishing gurus reject her, she might as well let go of that dream.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Listen, I also have a ZERO BUDGET because I am saving up for rent and life things, so I don’t have any money for self-publishing either…

SCAM ALERT: Ghost Writers Selling PLAGIARIZED Work to Self-Published Authors

SCAM ALERT: Ghost Writers Selling PLAGIARIZED Work to Self-Published Authors

Hey there rebel!

So I think I promised this video a while ago…

Basically, when I experiment, I try a LOT of different things, and that includes working with ghost writers for that one experiment, and so I went on Fiverr, I found the cheapest, and of course they’d turn out to be scammers.

Long story short, there are some Nigerian ghost writers on Fiverr who offer erotic stories and blog articles for cheap and in exchange they will give you PLAGIARIZED work, and when you use a plagiarism checker, THEY PASS because the scammers used a tool called Article Buddy to make your content appear original to the checkers. So literally, right now there could be a ton of authors with plagiarized stories and articles on Amazon and their blogs.

And they don’t know it… and that’s disgusting…

Spilling the Tea: On the Quality of Indie Books and Self-Publishing for Free

Hey there rebel!

Today’s video is going to ruffle some feathers…

I have noticed that in the writing community there’s 2 camps:

  • people who insist that self-published books should be of high quality and that indie authors should spend thousands of dollars on this

  • authors who improve as they go, so they would do it all themselves but later improve the quality when they have the budget

Can you guys guess which camp I’m in?

Hint: I used to be in one and then jumped to the other one this year…

Should you publish traditionally or self-publish your book?

Should you publish traditionally or self-publish your book?

Hey there rebel!

Today’s video is all about the differences between traditional publishing and self-publishing. I didn’t have my notes with me so I did forget to mention that publishing houses will give you an advance and that you retain all of your work’s rights when you self-publish, but I included everything else.

In any case, this is a personal choice and there is no such thing as one is better than the other because they are both valid choices.

Okay? Okay.

Now onto the video…

And tell me - how will you publish your book? :)
