I have a very wonderful story in my head. I have tried putting it down on paper but a lot of work is still needed. I was wondering if I can sell it online. Can anyone tell me what all i need to do to publish and ebook? Is ebook better or publishing hard copy is better?

If you want to publish hard copy, you have to first get a publisher and then audit it and many many other process. Why not try starting out with ebook? You can actually post short stories on Triond or Wikinut and earn some extra cash. At the same time, you can also receive response from your followers there. From there, you can start building your network and maybe you can even meet some great publishers there too!

hi Yiart, thanks for sharing, I am already am member on triond, so might as well try that first. I can make short stories first. It might do very well for me. But I am not doing anything to get more number of views. Have you got any strategies to increase the number of views. It would be of great help. have a good day.

If you self publish, you'll need to market your book whether it's an ebook or a hard copy book. But first you have to write the book. Start there, then decide how you can market it and that will make your decision on which format to use.
