A big misconception about self-publishing

There are many misconceptions about self-publishing. One of the biggest things I hear aspiring authors say is that they have been contacted by a company that has promised to help them self-publish a book and all they have to pay them is (whatever the amount may be). In true self-publishing, you don't pay anyone to publish your book for you. You pay out money to different companies to handle the various aspects of you bringing your book to market. For instance, you will find a printer, and you will pay that person to print your books for them. You will find someone to design your book cover for you, and you will pay that person who will create a cover for you. There are many details that goes along with putting together a good quality book, and each week, I will uncover and shatter the myths that go along with publishing your own book. This is the truth about self-publishing. It's not just a book you're putting out there. It's a business.
