Truthfully, I would not use anyone other than MagCloud for self-publishing at this point, and here’s why:

Years ago self-publishing was a blessing, because it was a kick in the face to publishing giant gatekeepers, but with the push of everything being online, self-publishing is over-saturated, most of us are not even being payed for sales made via Amazon, we are just now finding this out as the world becomes a smaller place and these tech crossover companies are getting caught.

With MagCloud there is no ISBN, but this far into the game, why would you want someone else profiting from your work? I don’t want Jack Ma selling counterfeit versions of my book.

They should be paying you, you’re the artist! Your best bet is to make physical copies; and sell them on your own Website, or outside of 7-11, plus if you sell them in person you don’t have to pay taxes. Aka Ledger – XRP – Bitcoin – Cash.

The point of being sold at big box stores such as Barnes And Noble; BAM, Hudson’s, etc, was to reach a bigger audience; but the concept makes no sense anymore, because who goes to Book Stores under the New Norm? 😷
Amazon is the same way, we don’t need them anymore. They’re dinosaurs. 🦕 ☄
I was the top seller at many art galleries, because I didn’t just let my art sit there and expect some PR person to sell it for me. No, I ran down the street, and hustled people to come into the store front. It’s the same way with books; we can’t expect Lulu to sell for us, we all need to collectively take back control of our lives, and own our own data.

Long before Drake and Beiber did it, I even had Rappers at my Art Shows. If you notice the Gallery spelt my name wrong, ( I thought on purpose.) This is why you can’t rely on anyone other than yourself to make money.
