The goal, either way, is to sell a ton of books, and neither method offers a garuntee of doing so. The stigma with self-publication stems from the idea that "this wasn't good enough to be accepted by a publishing house, so I put it out myself in my own vanity." Often, that's very true. Also, many traditonally published books suck, too. The methods are equal, ultimately.</p> Self-publishing is no worse or better than going through a traditional publishing house.
