Creativity abounds. Perhaps, under the influence of French movies and vin rouge you decided to create a calendar homage to all things Parisienne, or maybe you’ve written a bildungsroman novella for the jet-set.
Whatever your creative mind has created, be it photographs, short stories, documentaries, or orchestral soundtracks, it can now be published for free. Dig out those manuscripts and old photos, upload them to Lulu and sell them for the price of your choosing. Lulu’s also got tools to help you market your content; there are tutorials on writing a press release, publicity services, links to translation and graphics services and much more. Lulu will even distribute your tour de force novel for sale on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles. The only thing you have to pay for is assembly and materials e.g. book binding, printing and packaging. You’ll get commission for every item sold.
