None. Self-publishing is not something you want to even consider if you're hoping to become a published author. Being self-published does not make you published nor does it make you an author. No respectable writer worth their salt gives much thought beyond scorn for self-publishing.
Take the traditional route and have some decency for your work. Pick up or borrow a copy of "The Writer's Market" and heavily research agents and publishers for your manuscript. It may take a lot longer to become published through traditional publishing but at least you'll have your dignity intact.Which self-publishing company is the best and most beneficial to the author?
Online publishing and book publishing are two different things. Online publishing could only get you as far as Amazon.com or those online resellers and your readers would only get to view your book in soft copy (i.e. eBooks); whereas, if you go through the regular publishing route, you can still order the book in hard copy 鈥?and hard cover, too. Self-publishing companies now offer services that will make your book available in soft or hard copy.
How well your book sells and distributes is entirely up to you. Good luck with your choices. Let me give you something to check out while you are at it.
