When To Hire Help And When To Do It Yourself
By Marcy Kennedy (@Marcy Kennedy)
One of the most frustrating parts of indie publishing is how conflicting the advice can seem. One of the areas where I’ve frequently noticed this advice dichotomy is in whether or not we should hire out the non-writing work involved in our business.
Some people will tell you to do as much as you can yourself to minimize costs (allowing you to “earn out” quicker and bring in profits). Others will tell you to hire out everything you can because you’ll end up with a more professional product and have more time to write.
So how’s an indie supposed to know what to do?
How we handle it will depend on our individual situation. Anyone who tells you that their way is the only right way is…well…wrong.
We can ask ourselves some questions to figure out what solution is the best one for us.
Today is my regular monthly guest post at Janice Hardy’s Fiction University. I hope you’ll join me there to read the rest of this post.
