I was once interested in how self publishing actually works so I spent an hour or two putting a pdf together with Chuck Norris facts that I found on the internet and published it as a paperback. The book is still up for sale, I've made more than $10,000 from it.


Are they actual facts or joke facts? If jokes, did you have to worry about source material? Also, did you have to get permission from Norris' agency?


Do you have more about this? Where did you print the book and where are you selling it?
