I self-published a book and sold $250k worth over the past year.
I cannot recommend getting an editor/typesetter highly enough. I paid mine something like $500 total and she absolutely saved my life.
I'd go the Gumroad + Stripe route (or maybe Kickstarter if you need some motivation) - Amazon sales have been negligible for me.

- snailletters 8y agoI believe it's the book Secret Sauce: The Ultimate Growth Hacking Guide [0].

- vram22 8y ago>I'd go the Gumroad + Stripe route Why do you need Stripe? AFAIK Gumroad already handles payments. Something to do with free vs. paid Gumroad plans and features?
- austenallred 8y agoThey didn't process payments when I set it up. Or rather, they processed them through Stripe
