They will have to become experts in many different fields to get there. But then again, why bother writing if you can turn $2 into $7?
By taking over the supply chain, authors can go from making $2 (already optimistic) to $7 on a print book with a retail price of $10.https://mwl.io/archives/6210

If you're known "brand", it's definitely more profitable to self-publish prints. If you're still unknown then printing is economic nonsense anyway. You can leverage from 0 only via digital.

And will sell maybe 5% of what they could do with distribution. You can also view stores as offering no-risk marketing/sales for your books. It's all about attention, reaching audiences which gatekeepers such as stores own.

We went from 16,000 books a year to 150,000. Your own marketing/audience is limited. Using stores as a marketing tool (ideally creating loops in the books to get those customers into your owned channel) is a tremendous tool for growth.

It saddens me that the discussion is always about price and never about the quality of the printed book. Good paper, good printing quality, good typography, linen on the outside and stitched binding go a long way. People pay for quality when they know they get it…
