What You Need to Know About Selling Kindle Books
Are you an e-book writer who would like to expand your profits? If so, you may turn to Amazon.com. Amazon is a popular online marketplace. Its popularity skyrocketed with the development and sale of the Amazon Kindle. This small and lightweight device pushed e-books to the next level. Readers no longer need a computer. With the Kindle, they can cuddle with a good book and not have a bulky computer or cords in the way.
If you are interested in profiting from Amazon's self-publishing features for the Kindle, please continue reading on to know more.
You need a free Amazon account. Since Amazon.com is a popular marketplace, you may already have an account. You can use the same account; there is no need to create a separate one. If you do not have an account, create one. It is quick and easy.
You will need to provide information about yourself. If you only used your Amazon.com account to buy, additional information is needed. Amazon will recheck your email address, ask for your social security number, and your bank account information. As concerning as this sounds, it is legitimate. They need to contact you, pay you, and report earnings. You don't sell a traditional e-book. When selling e-books online, you likely create your document in Microsoft Word and covert it to an Adobe PDF file. This is not compatible with the Amazon Kindle. Books must be in digital text format. Amazon handles the conversion during the upload process. Microsoft Word and PDF documents are acceptable for conversion.
There are two ways to get to the digital text platform. You can visit Amazon.com, scroll to the bottom and click on the link titled "Self-Publish with Us." You can also visit the website directly at DigitalTextPlatform.com.
You do not need an ISBN number to sell on the Amazon Kindle Store. Step one of listing your book for sale is writing product details. You will be asked for an ISBN number, but one is not required. Skip this field and move onto the next.
Amazon.com pays you a 35% royalty fee for each sale made. This amount is relatively small when compared to other selling options. To ensure you make a profit, set a fair selling price. A good selling price translates into more sales. Consider the big picture. More sales at a lower price than less sales at a higher price should even out. In fact, most make more money with an affordably priced Amazon Kindle Book.
Prospective buyers can preview your book. Amazon recently enabled a new preview feature. Before proceeding with a purchase, buyers can preview the first chapter or introduction of all books. Before uploading to the digital text platform, review these sections. This is your second chance, aside from the product description, to make a sale. If the first pages of your book are uninformative or uninteresting, the chances of making a sale decrease.
You do not need to write a new book just for the Amazon Kindle. If you are an established e-book author, you may own the rights to many e-books. You can upload each of these to the digital text platform and convert them into Amazon Kindle format. In fact, this is advised. By selling e-books in PDF format and in digital text, you increase your targeted market, your sales, and your profits.
