5. Article Ghostwriting and Distribution – One of the proven ways to market yourself and your book on the Internet is to write and distribute related articles that demonstrate your expertise in your subject matter. Even if your article does not blatantly promote your book, your “About the Author” byline section does, including a link to your webpage. This is also good for Search Engine Optimization for your webpage.

I’d like to see prices of end costs per copy etc.
Hi Jim — The cost of a finished book depends on 3 variables. The finished trim size of the book; 5 ½ x 8 ½ for example, the estimated page count and publishing package that the author selects. This link: http://www.outskirtspress.com/calculator.php will take you to our pricing calculator. Once on the calculator page you can fill in the requested information to view your estimated per book cost. Notice that a Diamond Author pays $1.00 less than a Ruby Author and $2.00 less than a Sapphire Author. I hope that helps!
