Book question. I talked to a publisher. Going to probably self publish. Any ideas on guerrilla marketing?

Is it a 'HOW TO ROOM WHACK AT MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY' book?

I did that. Made 200 bucks off of it. The guy saying lulu is dumb AF, they will charge the buyer 50 bucks and you will make 1 dollar on the purchase. Amazon isn't much better, but at least its less likely they will hock your book to a printer in China and then resell it on ebay or whatever. The way Amazon makes it cheap for the buyer is they use local printers in that area to run a singleton print. This is both good and bad, its good cuz its cheap - its bad cuz you have a wide variance of quality. You also dont need to buy 50 books up front and hope they sell while dealing with shipping costs eating into your shit. I fucking HATE Amazon, but its what i have experience with. The good thing is their proof prints are like 4 bucks (maybe a bit more for author copies). So what you do is you set your buy price to be hard cover only on amazon after a week of having paper back, then buy your inventory with that option and close it, set up your web page to say you and only you offer digital and paper back, and you flip for 30 bucks PB and 10 Big D vs the 75 bucks for a HC on A. That's how I ought to have done it; that being said, I am not a good writer, not a good source for info, and a MASSIVE idiot/faggot.

I only self publish at LULU.COM. Professional quality, you set the price, you own the copyrights, easy to do online.

Maketing done there too for a fee, but affordable. https://www.lulu.com/

Depends on the topic. But you might be able to jump on a few podcasts. Just discuss the topic material. And plug your book ONCE. And let people know where to find you online.
