Opis

Do you want to quit your day job and follow your dream as a published writer? A comprehensive, hyperbole-free introduction to publishing your work on Amazon's KDP *Now with bonus addendum "The Power of Free on Amazon Kindle"* The rise of self-publishing on has recently allowed writers around the world to realize their dream of publishing their books in the world's largest book stores. The facts speak for themselves - write and publish a book today and it can earn you the passive income you need to get writing on the next book...and the next one after that. Glen Chapman (author of "The Power of Free on Amazon Kindle") outlines everything you need to know to publish and market your book, with a particular focus on Amazon, by far the biggest eBook store in the world. This is the guide he wishes he had read when he was starting out Including - - Getting Started - Formatting Your Book - Creating Effective Book Covers that Sell - Publishing Your First Book through KDP - The importance of getting those first few sales to increase visibility - Coming Up With the Perfect Title and Synopsis - Pricing Strategy - KDP Select "" Do You Go Exclusive or Play the Field? - Should You Read Reviews of Your Books? - The Value of Promoting Outside of Amazon - Should You Take Advantage of KDP Select Free Days? - Death & Taxes - Amazon Alternatives - The Importance of Genuine Reviews - Paid Promotion "" Is it worth it? - The Importance of Blogs - Social Marketing - Perma-Free - Kindle Countdown Deals - Those Pesky Refunds - Fiction v Non-Fiction - Print on Demand - The Amazon algorithms - Links & Resources There are some fabulous publishing guides out there (such as Write.Publish.Repeat), but there are also a lot of hyped up books that overstate your chances of becoming a best-seller and sound like they are selling you an Ab-Roller or a ShamWow. Unless lightning just happens to strike in the right place, the only thing that will get you a best-seller is a lot of writing and a lot of clever promotion. It's a slow grind that is only for those passionate about writing. If you are looking for a source of income to replace your blog advertising or other get rich quick scheme, this is not the guide for you. If you can think of nothing better than using your words to weave magic for the widest possible audience (and get paid for it to boot ), this guide may just be up your alley. Now is the time to establish a presence on Amazon - it's easier than you think to get started. If you have a novel ready to go, you could literally 'go live' on Amazon within 24 hours from now But that's just when the hard work begins...
