Pothi.com is not a traditional publisher and neither does it does the marketing of your books. So what the heck pothi.com is for? It is for those people who have written some people, stories or the like and want to make a printed book of them. The biggest advantage of Pothi.com started by two IIT Kanpur graduates is they let you publish even one book as per their print on demand feature.

It is not for people who what huge number of prints and marketing of the book. If you are very new to book publishing then it is wise to have your publisher do the marketing for you. Depending on the number of pages, cover style … and the profit you want to make, you can calculate the cost of the book on their site.

They also provide some book promotion services like creating a site for you, releasing press releases …. I think you may not require them as if you publish one or just a few books you do not need a website and if you publish in bulk and want to promote your book commercially then contact a proper publisher and let them do it for you.
