Well first you need to have a lot of money and time! Though if you put your book up on a site like lulu.com then you may not need to spend as much, as they offer a print on demand service.
You also need to have a strong personality, in order to be able to promote the book. You will need to arrange book signings, talks, radio interviews, newspaper interviews and much more, in order to get you and your book well known.
If you aren't selling your book on a website, then you will need to get yourself down to your local bookstore and make arrangements with them about selling your book. Also, there's binding and jacketing, cover design, proofreading and editing. If you are not skilled in any of these, then you will need to make arrangements to get them done, and also have a large amount of money put aside, especially if you want your book to look professional.

That is right. Or, you can do the following:
First is that you have to customize a plan that will work best with your book. List all the things your book needs such as book cover customization, editing, marketing, etc.
Second, find a publishing company that has everything your book requires. I know XLIBRIS has programs that are quite affordable and fits just what your book requires.
Third, go through production process and then see if the book meets your standards.
I hope this helps.
