Welcome to the Revolution!
Of the millions of self-published authors using digital POD (print-on-demand) technology, only a small percentage are successful, and you can be one of them! You can take my word for it because I've been there - I started with very little money and no experience and went on to sell 40,000 copies of a single self-published title!
There are no superhuman talents you need to succeed as a digital self-publisher, just a willingness to challenge every assumption you hold about the limitations you think come with the package.
- Do you think that if you use online POD technology, you won't be able to get your book carried by a Border's bookstore?
- Do you think that book distributors won't list it?
- Do you believe that no one famous will review it?
- Do you imagine you will have lost the rights to sell e-books on your own or to upload a mobile version to Kindle?
- Do you think your book won't be able to reach the same level of success as a book from a royalty-publishing company?
Think again - and think bigger!
I've accomplished all of those things as a self-published author using POD technology. How many aspiring authors today know that they have all those self-publishing options? Did you know you have all those options?
I started self-publishing books in 2004 with POD technology because I had very little start-up money (I paid only for a cover design). Since then, I've published three books and sold 40,000 copies of my bestselling title. Is that considered "successful?" According to The Authors Guild, as quoted by BookStatistics.com:
- A successful fiction book sells 5,000 copies
- A successful non-fiction book sells 7,500 copies.
As you can see, I've sold way beyond that, and I want you to succeed too! In fact, I want your book to sell better than mine has!

A bloody revolution...
Digital print-on-demand (POD) technology has developed so quickly over the past decade that the royalty-publishing industry doesn't know what hit it. To date, millions of authors have self-published books through POD companies, and for an increasing number of young aspiring authors, self-publishing is no longer Plan B but is now Plan A!
Large royalty-publishing firms have reacted by becoming even more conservative and inaccessible. As they continue to lay off employees, prune their booklists, take fewer risks, and invest more of their dwindling budget in well-known authors, an increasing number of first-time authors have no choice but to self-publish.
The revolution in self-publishing is ultimately about options and empowerment, with an Internet-spawned countercultural attitude taken for granted. The Old Guard has become more entrenched, and so the new revolutionaries have greater license for rebellion. We will be clearing paths to victory in our own unpredictable ways. We, the people, have seized control of the means of production, and there's no going back! The Internet has awakened our revolutionary spirit!
¡Viva la revolución!
