If I wrote a self published book would anyone even buy it?

But then you have to pay that person a percentage of your profits. If you can market your book yourself...you can keep all of the profits!!!!!! Just read some articles about marketing. There's this thing called "guerrilla marketing" where you think outside the box, like you and your friends wearing a T-shirt with the name of your book on it into the city where a lot of people are sure to see it!
