Hi Queenperk, if you are publishing ebooks, you can try lulu.com. The service is free, they charge on sales. The commission is 20%. You can design your storefront and do your own marketing.
If you are thinking of publishing both printed copies and ebook formats, you have to pay a package of $400. The package includes getting the ISBN for your books, and press release to the major online bookstores such as Amazon.

You could write an ebook...you can make one for free using software like Open Office (openoffice.org) and then printing it to PDF (I like Cute PDF writer, it's available at download.com, but there's lots others)...then all you have to do is set up an account with paypal and/or sites like Clickbank or ejunkie.

Good luck!

Someone suggested Lulu which is a good choice. You could try cafepress or blurb which seems to have a little more emphasis on creativity.

I hear Lulu is one of the best, Not sure exactly on their prices, though I've heard it's real good compared to others. They even have free marketing tools to help you out. I'm going to try them when I am ready to publish.

Not sure, but I think it's free for E-Books however if you want hardcopies, it'll cost you.

If it's DIY i.e do it yourself,you would need a computer,a template for writing books,printing papers and preferably a laser printer.Aply for isbn from your country as well,i think it's free to have one.Don't forget to copyright all your materials.If not,you can just try lulu.comthumbupthumbupthumbup
