James Altucher on “The BEST Thing About Self-Publishing”
The worldwide web has changed the world. In some ways for the worse. But in many ways for the better. It is, for example, better today for writers that have the tenacity to publish their own books.
The first half-dozen books about business and entrepreneurship that I wrote were published by a major publisher. They sold well. (All of them were Amazon bestsellers. One was a NYT and WSJ bestseller.) But I never made much money from them. I decided after that to publish my own books… and that was far more profitable.
