Your first option of getting published is to go the traditional route. Here is the sequence of events that has to happen before your book becomes a big seller:
Step 1: Write a book.
Step 2: Interest an agent.
Step 3: Get the agent to sell your book to a publisher.
Step 4: Get the publisher to get it into a bookstore.
Step 5: Have lots of people buy it.
This is the publishing system of Dan Brown, Stephen King, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, etc. This industry John Steinbeck said made horse racing look like a stable business. This industry I have dubbed the Literary-Industrial Complex.
I'll talk more about what you have to do to make this sequence of events come to pass.
