carik:The things you have to do can be summarized as a simple process: first, form some interest in writing. Second, writing something that you know about. Third, log onto kdp.amazon.com and register- it's very easy in that I could do it on my own. They'll ask for your bank details- this is a different whole issue itself- They'll ask you to fill a tax form; a question like: is your business situated in america or other country? Fourth, click on a link as publish a new book; enter the details of your book: the title, literary genre, price, contributors, etc.- truly, you can do it; unpload the content you typewrote. The content can be in format Word, PDF, HTML, etc. Fifth, come up with an image cover. An image cover is a picture illustrating the entire nature of your book in picture summary, as front covers of typical hard cover books, and upload it, and click on save and continue. For real, what do you think about this potential image cover for my new book? do you like it?

Zico0: Thanks,this is helpful to start with... Its more like the summary needed to kick start. I can easily design ebook cover using either gimp or adobe photoshop and that's a plus. Your design looks good but don't you think its too plain and simple Will love to chat with you private? Thanks |

Hello @mk82 I will like you to shed more light into Editorial reviews for kindle ebooks and if possible where to get cheap or free editorial reviews |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by mk82(m): 4:08pm On May 11, 2015 |
chijike:You can add editorial reviews through Author Central. You don't need anyone to write it for you. Just check what the best books in your niche have and write something similar. You can also quote content from within your book as well as some of the buyer's reviews. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Godmother(f): 8:17am On May 14, 2015 |
I stumbled on this thread last week and took my time to read through page by page. You guys are selfless for posting all of this free of charge. God bless you all. I have a few question to ask though 1. How many pages will a 2000 MS-Word doc be when converted to Kindle format? 2. Do I need to set up an author central page before or after review? 3. Is it best to use Kindle cover page editor or should I create one of my own. I'm good with graphics. 4. Which cover design does best ; just texts well arranged on the page or text and images? CC Mk82 Zico0 Sarahn |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by mk82(m): 3:14pm On May 14, 2015 |
Godmother: 1. 2000 words in MS Word (novel-like writing) will give you 9-12 pages. If it is in the form of recipes, you will get more pages. 2. You can set up an author central page at any point in time and edit as you like. 3. Create your own cover. 4. Look at the covers of the best selling books in your category and do something similar. |

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Zico0(m): 10:45am On May 24, 2015 |
Godmother: 2000 characters is quite small, 5 pages more or less. I have not registered under author central, I don't think it's relevant. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Zico0(m): 10:50am On May 24, 2015 |
Godmother: 2000 characters is quite small, 5 pages more or less. I have not registered under author central, I don't think it's relevant. ... if you can get a handle on the kindle cover page editor, i.e, if you can use the editor; why not? 'great' has no standard; any can be cool. |

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by dotfak: 8:04pm On May 24, 2015 |
I have a simple question for you sir. The question is this. What is the average number of pages that your books are? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Godmother(f): 10:42pm On Jun 03, 2015 |
This thread musnt be allowed to die o. I know we are all busy but let's keep it alive biko. I ve learnt so so much from it already |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by KingsleyAni1993(m): 7:29am On Jun 12, 2015 |
For those here that have published with them, what payment options did you choose? Who bank do you have domiciliary account with? And how about promotion? Do you have blogs? If not, get one |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Godmother(f): 1:59pm On Jun 12, 2015 |
This thread shouldn't die o. I have 5 books on kindle already and I have seen some positives. I have sold 3 books so far and have some of my books borrowed. A big thanks to Mk82 for starting this thread |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by mk82(m): 2:56pm On Jun 12, 2015 |
KingsleyAni1993:Try to read the thread from the beginning, these questions have been answered. When you register with Kdp, the default payment option is cheque. Later when you get the payoneer account, you will add it and you can start receiving EFT. We don't use domiciliary accounts. Godmother:It's a good start, but you should improve your research and quality of books so as to get. better results. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Godmother(f): 4:32pm On Jun 12, 2015 |
mk82: Improve? In what way? I try to carry out extensive research? But if there are other ways I can use to get more positive results I'm gamed. Pls what are they? I want to do so well in this kindle publishing |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by mk82(m): 5:58pm On Jun 12, 2015 |
Godmother:You said 5 books gave you 3 sales and a few borrows (although you didn't mention how long ago those books were published). You should get more than that from 5 books if you have done a really good job. Pick out the best selling 3-4 books under your niche keyword and use their standard to evaluate your books. Check the titles, cover design, chapter arrangement, quantity & quality of content etc then you will know what you have to improve. If you can't beat them, at least match them in all respects. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Godmother(f): 6:04pm On Jun 12, 2015 |
mk82: Ok, I got the sales in about 3 weeks. The fifth book was uploaded 2 days ago. Will check the things you pointed out and see how it goes Modified I'm writing a book on recipes and I downloaded some videos from YouTube. I'm writing the procedures of the recipes from the videos as I watch, though writing them in my own words. Want to find out if I won't be penalised for this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNMyPnE-nSc 1 Like |
