Description

Self-publishing, using Print on Demand (POD) technology and readily available eBook tools, has revolutionized traditional publishing, making it possible for anyone to publish a book or eBook. The same technology that will let you publish a memoir of your kindergarten years will also let you publish more down-to-earth content, including your technical documentation.

This presentation provides guidance for publishing content in print or eBook form and how to sell content through online retailers. It describes the steps you need to take to create deliverables from existing material and distribute them for sale in print and eBook form. You can also use these steps if you want to distribute a book privately, for example, to offer a book exclusively to your customers.

The self-publishing process has four steps: creating content, creating deliverables from that content, distributing content, and marketing. This presentation focuses on the middle two steps.
