What's the Cost of Real Success?

I think this extra cost below is not for me. Plus I plan to do a self publishing of Chinese edition within $2500 budget while I work with a publisher for an English edition. I do realized how expensive the cost of editor so I need to do the best as I can.

ZT: What's the Cost of Real Success?

 

I estimate that the budget required to create a quality self-published trade paperback book is a bare minimum of $5,000. Here's a list of some items needed to put your book respectably alongside those from traditional publishers, with minimum price tags. The lower the price, the more you have to do yourself, so bump it up if you want to be completely hands-off:  

$1,000 Professional editing (developmental, line editing, proofreading)
$1,000 Professional cover design
$1,000 Marketing and promotion
$500 Advance Reading Copies (ARCs) and postage
$500 Website design and creation, not including domain name purchases, PayPal shopping cart, mailing list management, and related site costs
$500 Photography, logo design, and other branding items
