3. We all grew up reading stories of
adventures and fantasy. While some
liked the mythical world created by
these books others may have liked
real life recounts by famous people.
The fame and money world famous
writers enjoy is something which
encourages one to try to become the
next Shakespeare or Milton.
4. However, all these fantasies and
dreams get crushed the moment they
meet real life unable to get their books
published. Amazon Kindle is providing
a great opportunity for people who
want to become writers but are unable
to find a platform to publish their books
or even experienced writers who want
to get more exposure for their works.
5. Why Publish Books In
Amazon Kindle?
Joining and publishing your own novel
in the Amazon Kindle is absolutely FREE
and you only need to pay a royalty of
70 % of the book (If you have priced it
between $1.49 and $6.99) and 35% for
75p titles.
6. Also with more and more people
buying Kindle books and preferring e-
books to the conventional paper-back
books, there is a huge market for e-
books.
7. Steps To Publish Your First Book
Publishing your first book can be very
easy. All you need to do is to just login
to kdp.amazon.com and register (the
registration process is completely
FREE). After you are registered, you
need to go to the ‘Book Shelf’ and click
on ‘Add a new title’.
8. In the following page you can select the
title of your book, choose book
cover, add the story, and quote the
price and other details pertaining to
your book.
9. That’s all. You have published your first
book and it didn’t take you even a bus’s
ride to a publishing company let alone
the other complications writers used to
face some years back. You can start
marketing your books and spread the
word among your friend circle.
10. Some points to note
while publishing your
book in Amazon
Kindle
11. Quote a reasonable price
Do not just quote an exorbitant price for
your book. It will repel people from
buying your books and until and unless
you are a well known writer it is best to
quote the price low. Better you can price
your books at 99 cents which is one of
the most sought after price range by
Kindle users.
12. Use good grammar and language
Although you might be quoting a low
price, it however does not mean that you
write whatever comes to your mind
without the care for the grammar. You
have to build up a fan base and
eventually you can quote a higher price
when you become famous.
13. Use a good cover for your ebook
Although people are advised on not
judging the book by its cover, the same
does not happen. So it is best to use an
eye catching book cover which suits your
genre.
14. Use minimum images in the book
Although it is allowed to use images in
the book, it will however increase the
size of the book. Also the images may
not be rendered in color or in the format
you put it. If you want to take advantage
of 70% royalty program, size does
matter! They charge you per mb
download.
15. Write books on Mystery and
Romance or better mix these
genres. They are the highest selling
genre in Amazon Kindle and hence
higher chance of your ebook being
sold.
