Thank you for this information that you took the time to gather. I have already self-published one book, using an off-set printer. If I ever publish another book, it will be a P.O.D. I was fortunate that I had a niche market, but my extra room had boxes of books for several years, and I had to take the time to ship them to purchasers. Never again. You have made a very clear comparison between the options.

Thank you, you clearly explain what I am trying to understand. I am new to it all.

This is exactly where I'm at! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I also had been wondering about a Kickstarter campaign--I am so happy to cross that off my list and instead I purchased your 30-Day Launch Kit. Just so you know, I've watched 20 of your videos so far and I transcribe them into Word while I'm listening. I refer back to them ALL THE TIME. I am a HUGE fan of yours!

Hi Eevi, I just came across your video and I can’t thank you enough for your great advice. Looking forward to following you and learn how to get started… I don’t have a clue… I know in my heart I’m going to self publish a book I understand I’m better off publishing on demand but don’t know how to start. My journey begins! 😀

[Kpachm]

Thank you! I’ve been working on making this decision and this really helps!

Thanks Eevi for that information. I have been trying to decide which is the better option for me. I think now POD is the better option. I was leaning that way anyway but the monetary table has really pointed out the advantages of POD. Many thanks for your time and effort. Have a beautiful day.

Thank you so much for this information. I am in the beginning stages of my research for my book and I appreciate and value your insight.

Great job on this video! First time watching & subscribed. 🎉

[caraincaracterpinder]

Thank you! Do you have a video on the how-to of a kickstarter campaign?

[pammoody]

Great info Eevi!! Thank you! So with all your books do you us POD only?

[andrearichardson]

Eevi thank you for all your videos. They have been so helpful! Who do you recommend to go to
for offset printing?

[ArtistintheFactory]

Thank you for sharing this. Very useful. One question: in the offset printing calculations, wouldn't the customer pay for the shipping?

[FZWbooks]

question for you, Eevi: I read on a post on FB that if you use offset printing overseas, the printing company can reproduce or use the content without your permission. Is that true? Have you heard of such a thing? It sounds scary, and I'm not sure if I should believe it or no. Thanks!

[kathyann]

I see so many bad reviews on Amazon for children's books because there were upside down pages or the book just wasn't printed correctly as well as poor paper and binding quality. Has this been your experience with p.o.d.? I'm trying to build a brand with my first book because I plan to write more so I was leaning toward offset but I know the shipping will be a pain if I start selling a lot of books.

[truthzone]

Thanks for this. How about publishers. How do we get a publisher to want our book?

[Flat_Earth_Sophia]

Print on demand is trash. And no one does offset printing anymore. lol Are there ANY real book printers today? I have looked in literally every nation in the world! ..
