self publishng is it a boon or a bane

Hi friends ,

some of you writers have done self publishing

for publishing your writing works. what I would like to know is whether by publishing like this you feel your writing gets recognition and you are happy or you feel sad that your books are not sold and only your money is wasted.

i am writing an e-book on this matter . so only i am requesting information from you all

Thank you I am looking forward to hear from you all my contact is dns1908@yahoo.com
