Question: I am thinking about self publishing, but I want to make sure that I am going to be successful. Are there any self-published "bestsellers" out there?


Answer: Yes! There are many examples of self-published books that go on to sell thousands and even millions of copies. Authors Dan Poynter and Aaron Shepard have both sold hundreds of thousands of copies (perhaps millions at this point) and they have been successfully self-publishing for years.


That being said, you need to realize that publishing is always a gamble, and even many traditionally published books don't make it. Make sure your book is as professional as possible, and you have a better chance at success.
