self publishing? or traditional publishing company?

[Naomi]

I want to publish a book, but I don't know if I should self publish, or go for a traditional publishing company. If I want to make a lot of money, is self publishing the way to go since I get most of the profits compared to if I went with a traditional publishing company (even though I know I'll have to invest a lot of money it self publishing). But then again, I could get more distribution with a traditional publisher D: what do I do??
