Self-publishing is often seen as a whole new game compared to the more traditional options out there. Those who prefer to do things by themselves, for themselves, would need to be incredibly creative regarding their methods just to stand out from the rest of the pack. This is what Createspace specializes in: improving the professional image of an author’s book page and reaching towards a whole new market.
To break it all down without getting too much into the specifics, the process involves the formatting of your book cover for Createspace specifications, formatting the book for paperback, and then uploading it through Createspace. This is, of course, per qualifications. The things you need to get started is the finalized book in digital format, a concept of what will be on the cover, your marketing strategy, and finally, an account with Createspace.
