If you want to be a may or may not get to have a cup of coffee in side their building. Sure they can get your book listed on Amazon and other such popular sites. The fact is anyone can sign up to list their title on Amazon.com; you don't need to be a company, business or publisher or pay a fortune for the privilege.
OK, now available and at what cost?
What will you end up with in your pocket from sales of your book once those hefty Amazon fees come out?
Just caught a glimpse of another- Web pages
For a cost some around $300.00. Well, you can create your own website if you want to go down that long road and have it hosted with no html experience with website wizard for only $9.95 a month. Lots of good tricks in there to help with your marketing and hey, you get to have fun making it how you want it to be.
The most important point to remember here is that you will have your own internet address and your own traffic. These pages are designed to produce traffic and expose and aid the publishing companies.
I did a nice blog with the help of my consultant and it did not take long to work out with that little support. Yes it was free, again.
Some people say they need a small fortune to publish their book.
Well being a self-publisher you don’t need a lot of money. Just a little support from the right people and of course a true desire to make your dream of becoming a published author a reality! Nothing like the feeling of finally seeing that hot little book in your hot little hands.
If you use mainstream distribution channels you will be paying a large fee for their service also.
I’m not trying to put you off mainstream distribution. If you are not a salesman it could be an option.
What about those free ISBN numbers publishing companies offer?
Well, I can tell you some stories about that. You really need your own ISBN so if you are offered a free ISBN ask "Is it my very own?" This is important because any reference to sales need to come back to you. With a self publishing company free ISBN the contacts for book enquiries goes to them first.
Publishing companies that can offer support, advice, service and provide you with quality printing and workmanship of your book is your answer. A true publishing company will give you enough marketing advice and tips to sit you on the right track with your book marketing.

If you want to be a true self-publisher then you need to sit back and take control of your own publishing experience that includes marketing. With Love of Books Self Publishing Success You’re the Self-publisher of your own book.
