Starting a indy publishing company for my books.
What are the benefits and drawbacks of starting an indy publishing company for my books? Preferably just a DBA I live in the county so I'm not required to register. (Free) In CA an LLC cost $800 a year just to have it. I do use a UPS mailing service to avoid putting my home address out there. And do you need a business bank account to be paid by Amazon if you are listed as the owner? I have ISBN's in my name, would i be able to transfer those to my publishing company or would I be required to purchase more?

DBA first is what most indie authors do until the numbers force an LLC. The $800 CA tax is real, so a free DBA plus a UPS box covers a lot of early risk. Once the imprint is set, the next gap is usually a clean landing page that catches readers after the book, not another entity form.
Professional Liability Insurance
I'm looking for media liability insurance for my publishing business. Any recommendation? Thanks.

Most people I know start by asking their existing business insurer if they can add a media rider before shopping a standalone policy.

Makes a great gift for any massage therapist or other type of manual therapist you may know! https://www.amazon.com/dp/0967954924

Congrats on the Kindle live. Once it's up, the next step that usually pays is one clear place readers go after they finish, a page or list that matches what you already do with therapists.
Facebook campaing
Can you recommend somebody to run a Facebook campaign?

Good question. The ones worth hiring usually already have a few book or speaking campaigns under their belt. Are you wanting to run it to a landing page or to an Amazon page? I would strongly suggest the former.
My first library presentation
Finally, a library responded and invited me to present. The librarian was very difficult to deal with and changed the date once which wreaked havoc on my Substack. Finally, the day was yesterday and eight people showed up. I was fine with that as a first experience. It went really well and I was very surprised when she gave me a $200 check! AND told me that she bought six copies for the library!

A $200 check plus six copies bought for the collection on your first library talk is a real win. Librarians talk to each other, so that one probably turns into your best reference for the next branch.
