Self-Publishing: A Game Changer for the Publishing Industry

2011-10-14 4 Dailymotion

The publishing industry is changing in a major way. Although traditional publishing methods are highly regarded, they are also very costly and somewhat cumbersome.

After experiencing this personally with his book Attention! This Book Will Make You Money, Jim Kukral realized that he could do it just as easily himself. He even came up with an idea that uses crowdsourcing to pre-fund a series of books, which has raised over $20,000 up to this point.

Kukral told us that, while books and newspapers would always exist, self-publishing created opportunities for more people to get published.

How do you see self-publishing methods impacting the overall publishing industry?
