Self-Publishing Your Book with Qyx AI Book Creator
Qyx AI Book Creator excels at turning ideas into full-fledged manuscripts. But once you’ve crafted your book, the next big question is: How do you publish it? Self-publishing is an empowering route for authors, offering full control over their work, distribution, and revenue. This blog post outlines the key platforms you can use to publish your book—and how Qyx AI Book Creator makes the process easy.
We plan for this guide will be a living document updated regularly as platforms and tools evolve, so feel free to bookmark it and check back later for new tips.
What Is Self-Publishing?
Self-publishing means you become your own publisher, responsible for everything from editing to design to distribution. Unlike traditional publishing, you don’t need permission from an external publishing house, nor are you subject to the long timelines and gatekeeping that come with traditional routes.
For context: the largest traditional publishers, often called the “Big Five,” are Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, and Macmillan. These publishers dominate global trade publishing and typically require submissions through agents or direct query processes. Acceptance is not guaranteed and may take months.
While traditional publishing has its place and is always an option for any book manuscript, including those created using Qyx AI Book Creator, self-publishing is faster, more flexible, and a great fit these days for most books.

Pro Tip:
Use MixCache.com as your primary sales page, especially if you have control over your own traffic. Since its costs are minimal, this maximizes your earnings by allowing you to monetize your audience directly with minimal overhead. If you’re an influencer, publishing on MixCache.com and then linking to your MixCache.com book listing sales pages on your social media pages is a great way to go. You could also advertise your MixCache.com book listings on such platforms as Google Ads etc.
2. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
What it is:
Amazon KDP is the largest and most well-known self-publishing platform globally. It allows you to publish your book in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats.
Why use it:
- Massive audience and built-in customer base
- Access to Amazon’s marketing tools (e.g. Amazon Ads)
- Moderately high royalties possible (up to 70%) depending on pricing and territory
Supported formats:
KDP accepts multiple file types, but .epub is preferred for maximum compatibility. Since Qyx AI provides manuscripts in Markdown (.txt), you’ll need to convert your manuscript before uploading to Amazon.
Recommended .txt → .epub conversion tools:
- Convertio TXT to EPUB – Fast, free, web-based
- Online-Convert.com – Also fast, free, and web-based; we’d recommend choosing UTF-8 encoding for best results instead of the default “Automatic Detection”
- Pandoc – A robust, downloadable tool ideal for power users, especially if you want to include images or advanced formatting. Be warned that this one has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s what we’d recommend if you’d like to do more advanced things, like inserting images into your book manuscripts.
Royalty breakdown:
- eBooks: Choose between 35% or 70% royalties depending on price and region
- Paperbacks/Hardcovers: Royalties vary depending on print costs and sales price
Note:
Amazon currently requires authors to disclose AI-generated content. See their website or our FAQ—particularly the question “Can I really sell the books I create to others?”—for more information on meeting these requirements.
Pro Tip:
Even without marketing, KDP can drive some organic sales due to Amazon’s massive reach. However, due to intense competition, using their built-in advertising system, Amazon Ads, is recommended if you’re serious about visibility and sales.
Multi-Platform Strategy
Publishing on more than one platform increases your exposure and sales potential. For example, you might:
- Launch on MixCache.com for a direct audience and better profit margins
- Simultaneously publish on Amazon KDP for broader reach and discoverability
Using both together gives you the best of both worlds.
Final Thoughts
With tools like Qyx AI Book Creator, you can write your book faster than ever before. And thanks to platforms like MixCache.com and Amazon KDP, you can publish and sell it globally with just a few clicks.
