I have released a non-fiction e-book independently. The research I did, including personally speaking with an author who is now published but self-published his first book, showed that it generally makes more sense to self-publish a first book, especially if one has a decent platform. It's so hard to get published and, if one does, it's even harder to make any money. Even with a publisher, one has to do most of the marketing oneself.

Do you have a good platform?
