You may be able to earn money that way, but bestsellers are tremendously difficult to manage, and require huge investments of capital. Expect to spend several hundred thousand dollars up front, and understand that publishing one is a huge gamble, with absolutely no guarantees of breaking even let alone cashing in.

I strongly recommend that you do more research on this industry, because statements like this one suggest that you are very vulnerable to the scam artists that prey upon hopeful writers.

That’s a common misconception.

Self-publishing is a very high risk way of putting your money to work. And worse, the returns on investment are likely to be far, far lower than you would get in most other industries.

In other words: you’ll work harder than you would if you went a more traditional route, and you’ll earn less.

If you’re in it for the money, spend your effort on getting published traditionally.

If they do the work, but you pay the bills, that’s not self-publishing. To self-publish, you need to buy the ISBN from Bowker, and do or hire people to do all the functions of a publisher (editing, design, marketing, sales, distribution, accounting, etc.).
