Selfpublishing.com is a platform that offers comprehensive services for authors, including coaching, ghostwriting, editing, publishing, and marketing. While it doesn't directly provide a 'rich text editor' for content creation on its own platform in the same way Medium does, it offers services that result in professionally formatted books, which implies the use of such tools. The platform focuses heavily on book distribution and marketing, aiming for bestseller status, which aligns with a 'distribution & recommendation engine' even if it's through external channels like Amazon. The 'membership & monetization' feature is present through the authors earning royalties from their published books. 'Reader engagement metrics' are implied through the focus on sales and reviews. 'Community feedback tools' are present through the author community and reviews. 'Publication management' is supported through their various programs for different genres and levels of service. 'User profiles & following' are present as authors have profiles and success stories are highlighted. 'Tags & topics' are used for categorizing books and blog content. 'Email newsletter integration' is implied through marketing services. 'Mobile app access' is not explicitly mentioned for their own platform, but their services facilitate publishing to platforms that have mobile access. 'Social sharing & embedding' are part of their marketing strategies. 'Search & discovery' is inherent in their goal to make books discoverable on platforms like Amazon.
I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
It handles edge cases much better and the API
is actually documented properly.
Check it out at our site.
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
