The first thing to do is to go buy The Self-Publishing Manual by Dan Poynter. Almost every self-publisher credits this book as being the best tool for learning how the whole process works (including me!) It's essential reading. Dan has been self-publishing books for years and travels around the world giving seminars. He is the expert in the field and his book saves you a lot of headaches and educates you on the best way to go about the process.
