The self-publishing is getting cheaper, and one can afford it as the POD (Print on Demand) and the way it goes PDF (Portable Document Files). There are still some factors, particularly the funds, which many writers may not afford, as the currency one country may be costly for the people on the other side of the world. I would suggest some tips on it, as I have gone through the process of published three books. The most important point is that is of worth noting is that the writer is to become a self-publisher and distributor.
The usual way is that you publish at least 500 copies from the offset printing from your home country. The ISBN is a free if you just click on the International ISBN agency in your country. Just send them an application that you want to register your publication house. It is easy to become a self-publisher if one is the sole proprietor (M/s) of the publication house. Otherwise, the process may be long. The agency for the ISBN registers it without any fee and sends you a list of ISBN numbers for each of your publication.
You have to send and confirm your ISBN number before publishing, once you receive it, you can publish your book. Then there are free websites helping writers to promote their works, so that the readers may contact them. Thanks to modern technology, that one can open a blog without any investment. The ISBN is a self-promoting way for each book. You may place books on the bookstalls, libraries, ask the librarians about the bulk orders, the salesman can sell your book with some commission. Keeping ISBN for all works is good, indeed a necessity.
The process ISBN is same in most of the countries. It is a global service helping the writers. I wish all the writers well for this somewhat easygoing work as I have noticed that most of the writers are working laboriously, but without results. If you keep on sending your written material for acceptance one day, you may regret. The published submissions are only about 10%.
However, in your home country, you may go for better results for the beginning. This is one of the cheap and risk free way for self-publishing, as you may publish even 100 books with printing cost only. I wish you all the best for your future. Please accept that the writers are literary assets of world, and thus they may go ahead for getting their books published to keep the child within, the original writer always alive and keep going.
Well, have a wonderful experience with ISBN and Registering as a Self-Publisher!
Just go for it and have success!
