Do you know that publishing kindle eBooks is a sure way to earn on Amazon?
The internet offers so many money making opportunities yet only a few people take advantage of them because of the information divide. That is why I strive to keep my readers updated with insightful articles and here is one of such to expose you to a new income opportunity on Amazon.
Let me quickly establish some facts before I dive into the ‘how to’ section because you need to get the basics right in order to succeed in the eBook publishing business on Amazon.
1) You Must Get Ready To Do Some Work
Kindle publishing is not for people who are not ready to work. If you do not have money to outsource the books, you must be ready to research, write, format, design covers and upload all by yourself. Even if you have the cash of outsourcing, you must cross-check every material carefully before uploading to KDP.
2) You Must Be Patient
You can make some good money with your first book but it’s not so in all cases. So what happens next if your first launch fails…? That is where patience play a vital role. I usually advice beginners to go for 3-5 ebooks at the start. Unarguably, the internet marketing space is filled with people who want to make $1000 overnight because of the misconception painted in their minds. No matter how good the system you are using, time is needed to perfect your skills and make the system work for you. At the end of the day the rewards will be tremendous.Same thing applies for this kindle eBook publishing.
3) Don’t Cut Corners
In the IM space, we have what we call White hat, Grey hat and Black hat. I am happy to tell you that KDP is totally WHITE HAT. You cannot cut any corners. If you mess with them by trying to upload stolen materials, you will be banned. Of course, they will give you the chance to defend yourself but since you will not have any proof, your account may be suspended. You don’t need to play any tricks with KDP. If you do it right, you will be greatly rewarded.
4) Your Income Is Guaranteed
Once your book is uploaded, you will continue to get paid as long as it sells. All the work you will do is at the beginning then you continue to have recurrent income.
Steps To Get Started In This Business
Step 1. REGISTER
Go over to http://www.kdp.amazon.com and open an account. This first step is necessary so you can commit yourself to the project. Use an email that you open frequently because they will communicate with you. Use your real names, real Nigerian address and other relevant details.
Step 2. RESEARCH
Researching is one of the crucial aspects of success with Kindle ebook Direct Publishing. Go to Google and enter Amazon Bestsellers in the search box. Click on the Amazon bestseller result to go to Amazon. Once you are there, click on the kindle category, then kindle eBooks and start searching for books that are selling. There are other research methods you can adopt which I will share in subsequent article.
Step 3. Write Or Outsource The Content
Get materials and write quality content for your books. The content must be original or your book will not be published. Ensure you proofread properly. Kindle readers will kill you with bad reviews if there are a lot of errors.
Step 4. Design a Cover
Just check other books in the category you chose and make a similar cover.
Step 5. Format The Book Properly
Formatting is another aspect that can easily mar your work. In fact some people are offering this service online and they are making a lot of money from it. You need to know the right way to format so the book will work well on different types of mobile devices apart from the Kindle Reader. Amazon provides extensive information on this topic.
Step 6. Write A Good Description
This is self explanatory. Your description could be two or three paragraphs or more. This is what will represent your sales page so you need to do it well.
Step 7. Upload Your Book To KDP
That is just all you need to get start with the business.
Every day, I’m grateful for a chance to share an idea, strategy or challenge with you. I appreciate the attention and your trust, it would be impossible to do this without you.
