And as an additional input, Cafepress, Lulu, Createspace self-publishing services can accept from uploaded digital contents like Microsoft Word documents, PDFs, text files or even Rich Text Format files. The format, size and design of the publication will come from the desire of the book author. But the difference of online self publishing outlets to a typical self publishing in your neighborhood, the first one, they won’t charge upon submission until there’s an order coming in.

That’s the time they will charge for the service charge for the base price of the printing on demand but you have the control of the final price that they will be charging to the buyer before shipping. While the second type of self publishing in your neighborhood, will charge you upon submission to print them immediately.
