These days writing and publishing as an indie author (independent self-published author) is more accessible than ever. In fact there are a wealth of online retailers where you can self-publish your own eBooks.

• Amazon Kindle
• Barnes & Noble Nook
• Apple iTunes iBookstore
• Kobo
• Smashwords
• Lulu
• Draft 2 Digital

These are the main players in the online eBook publishing industry, and the process of creating publisher accounts and uploading your books is very streamlined and quite simple to do. It doesn't matter what you write, either. There is a market out there for every kind of book.

If you are an author, or planning to be, you can set up an author website with the skills and resources you have on offer here at Wealthy Affiliate. The possibilities are enormous when it comes to publishing your own books. Maybe you could even sell the books of other authors on your site and get a cut of the retail price. Or another option is to utilise affiliate programs such as Amazon's Associates Program and get a commission every time someone buys a book through an affiliate link on your site.

There are many ways to monetise in the publishing industry.
