One thing to check out is how good any print-on-demand paperback publisher is at keeping your book “in stock” with Amazon. Because Createspace is Amazon’s own p-o-d publisher, any book published through that will always show up as being “in stock”, which is good for ensuring buyers feel confident to buy. Some third party p-o-d publishers need a couple of weeks to fulfil an Amazon order – which is why you sometimes see self-published Amazon books as showing “currently out of stock…may take a few weeks to fulfil” on the Amazon site. For that reason, I’m going with Createspace for my paperback….

Well, looking at your site I would love my platform to look better, I have not a got a budget to employ anyone, so for now it is my blog, twitter, facebook, google, Pinterest etc.. and once I have my book set up and ready I will set up a website dedicated to the book (or books) who knows. So I am going the self publishing route, but, would like to have the flexibility to contact traditional publishing houses too. Not sure who I am going to go with, createspace or freereader, not sure. I am going to think about that nearer the time. My book is to help people who have had enough of the self help market and want something real, meaty and more where they are at. I don’t want to give too much away LOL
