Thanks.

Do you suggest I enroll all my books on KDP select?
Yes, then promote them for 2-3 days.

ranson:
Hi mk82, is it possible to publish both on Amazon and Draft2digital at the same time? I know you can promote your books on amazon, is it possible to do the same thing on Draft2digital? Thanks for the anticipated response.
1. Yes, you can as long as the book as been removed from Kdp select and the enrollment period has elapsed. 2. On draft2digital, you don't "promote" books but you can make your book free for a few days to get some attention.

1- The smallest book I have is about 3500 words.I aim for 5000 words and above.5K words will give u about 30 pages when converted to Kindle format. The pages will be much less in MS word.Tip check d size of d best books in or target niche.
2. Use normal spacing but leave one line between d paragraphs.
3.To determing pricing - check d average price of books in or niche.
Hope this helps.

Hey bro, what do you recommend? The free download or countdown deal or ad campaign.

By the way, i have uploaded 6 books so far, with only 15 sales, in 10 days. I really need to improve the results.

Thanks

1. I do only free downloads.
2. If your books are not selling, it's likely you chose wrong keywords.

Hi guys. I only get sales from Apple and Createspace with my books published through draft2digital. Do you guys get sales from all those other channels...Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Page Foundry etc?

Basically, The keyword is the topic your book is based on. It is the foundation of success in online publishing. I think I recognize this username. If you're the person I think you are, ask Sunday to explain to you.

1. You don't need a bank account to start uploading books. The default setting is cheque for those who don't have American bank accounts. Start publishing. You can always add the bank account when you get it.
2. Send an email to the gmail on my profile page explaining the details of your payoneer account problem so we can sort it.

TO SET FREE PROMOTION:
Go to your dashboard. Look to the right side of the book and click on Promote and Advertise. On the next page choose Free Book Promotion then click on the yellow bar that says create free book promotion. Set your preferred dates and save.

No, you don't have to put pictures but a few pictures here and there will not hurt.

Why am I only selling on Apple channel? Why ain't people from Barnes & Nobles, Kobo, and Page Foundry buying my books too? I am just wondering. I guess Apple is the next to Amazon in eBook sales right now.

Yea, you too. I have been on Createspace trying to upload but that site is giving me a tough time. I got frustration and logged out when I couldn't load even a single book. Will try it out again tomorrow.

Okay. Same with me o! That's why I started going thru Draft2Digital to get books on createspace. I wish you all the best. MK82 seems to have gotten the hang of it though.

You are free to interpret your book and publish in different languages but I don't think it's necessary to use different author names. When publishing the version for each language, choose the appropriate marketplace (country).

I logged into my account today and saw that I have some free price match units for some books I uploaded few days ago. I tried googling it but didn't understand what its about. Who has any experience with this price match thing?

Mk82

[Free Units-Price Match: Number of free units sold
while a book is made available for free due to
matching a competitor's free promotion. 0 (zero)
means this book did not have free units sold.
Note: No royalties are due for free units sold due
to matching a competitor's free promotion. See
the Pricing Page for details.]

This simply means when Amazon detects that your book is free on a competitor's website, they drop the price on Amazon to $0. You won't get any money since they sold at $0.

@mk82.....I published my book and enrolled it to kdp select and also choose free book selection and I set the date I want it to run......but this is what its saying
***This book is currently ineligible for a Kindle Countdown Deal (Why?)***
But instead of it to check free book promotion, it checked kindle countdown deal.... What may be the cause Sir.

When I scroll down, I saw this......*****"Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC) v2.0: 38
The Start Reading Location for your book is not yet set. Your KENPC may change when it is set.''***** What does it mean Sir......thanks

If you've set the dates for the free promo then don't worry about the countdown deal. Usually you can either do a countdown deal or free promo. To do the countdown deal your book must have been in kindle for at least 30 days without changing the price.

I think the free deal is okay. that's what I use.
