People love to talk about publishers like they’re the second coming of Jesus—regardless of market or industry.
But if I were you I’d think twice about getting into the sea with a publisher.
After all, it’s a big decision, and more often than not, working with a publisher isn’t worth it.
For one, on average, across all industries, whether we’re talking books, video games, or music… publishers will take anywhere from 30% to 70% of your total profits.
Sure, the good ones (which are becoming harder to find day after day) will pay you upfront for your deliverable. But that’s not never where people make the majority of their income (if they know what they’re doing that is).
So there’s immediately a huge trade-off here.
Then the question you need to ask yourself becomes, “Will I make more profit, on top of the publisher’s cut, with the publisher than without them?”.
If the answer to your question is either “no” or “I don’t know” then don’t work with a publisher.
They need to be able to show you an entire game plan backed up by reliable figures of previous (and hopefully similar) projects they took on to convince you of their worth.
Even more.
Self-publishing has never been an easier, efficient, and especially lucrative practice than it is today. And it’ll continue to improve and be the better option for 90% or more of creatives out there.
The downside?
You’re on your own and you’ll need to do your own marketing.
Luckily for you, that too is becoming easier and easier by the day, especially when you apply what I teach in Email Valhalla about building a list and writing daily emails that get you paid and keep your readers reading day after day regardless of what market or industry you’re in.
