I need tips on how to successfully self-publish my novel. I am tired of looking for publishers and i want to get the book out on my own, but i need tips on how to sell.
Money is not the issue, as i have a sponsor.
I would appreciate any comment.

The main tip is to get online and on the internet. You have to create a platform for yourself and get readership first.

After that, you can use any of the self publishing technologies available. There is Lulu, Createspace via Amazon, or Authorhouse, etc. If you want to make it only eBooks, it's the same thing too, in this case you can add kindle too. Remember there are free ways to self publish your book first. if it is well received, then you can go up to the paid ones.

All the best.

Thanks to all the people that replied me, your comments are appreciated.

i do not have a paypal acct(which is almost impossible as a nigerian) so how do i handle payment online? Thanks.

That is a problem, but there are Nigerians publishing on Lulu, etc so there must be a way to do it. Ask around.
