For writers wanting to self-publish or independently publish their work, there are so many opportunities with the various online platforms and service providers to help guide your way. But, per author and book PR/marketing expert A.G. Billig, with opportunity comes some challenges.

First, the marketplace for books is very crowded and competition is high. Amazon alone offers millions of books, many from self-published or independent authors. Standing out in this crowd and being discovered by readers is the second major challenge. There is a strategy to improving your rankings on search engines such as Amazon and Google, and independent authors are constantly getting more educated on this strategy. They are also improving their writing craft, making it even more important that you have a well-written, well-edited book that can compete. The third major challenge facing self-published and independent authors today is maintaining a productive writing schedule that will allow them to publish at least three books a year. Per Billig, this type of productivity, along with being focused, dedicated, and organized, can lead to a full-time career as a writer.
