henrimoto: ohohh o...! thank you nwanna. i have learnt this one from you.

Jbrain88: ,BRo,i want to start it too but how do i go about it.thanks

one9jeria: a little clarification on formating of your book. let us ms word for instance, what is the font size (12, or 14)?
2. what is the spacing like (double or single or 1.5)
3. what type of paragraphing do you need. thanks

Bestlyf: @mk82, do you upload your book cover differently from your book or you design your book cover into your book.

mk82:
D book cover is a separate file n it is uploaded separately.

Appliedmaths.:



Sire, sorry for the beginners question, so do we upload the book cover 1st, then the book contents as follows or vice-versa in the same upload section?

And also, what if we upload 2 books at a time obviously with 2 covers and 2 ms word docs, I think kindle would arrange it properly (hope I'm right)?

Bestlyf: thanks. Just through with my first book to test the waters. Its not easy for me to write a non fiction book o. However, thanks for the inspiration @mk82
One more question. Is there a need for an All right reserve page in my book?

Opengates: @mk82: For taking this upon yourself and your promptness in addressing people's questions, it shows the reason why you are such a way blessed and I pray this is the beginning of real success in your life which shall know no bound in Jesus name, Amen. Keep it up and don't be discouraged.

To my question, the issue of payments, when exactly do they pay after one has reached the payment threshold either by ETF or Check? I mean the duration and when one will receive his payment? Please explain clearly. Thanks

mk82:

KDP PAYMENTS
You will be paid 60 days after you reach the payment threshold according to d payment mode dat u choose (check or EFT).
Example if u reach d minimum payment in February, u will be paid end of April. The only lag time is when you are just starting. After ur first 60 days with KDP, u will continue to receive monthly payments as long as you can cross minimum payment level each month. Jan money is paid in March, Feb paid in April,April paid in June etc.

If you are receiving EFT, you will get a Remittance Advice in ur email once your payment is ready each month. for dis November, payment is on d 29th. Remittance Advice is not sent to those that are receiving checks.

Opengates:

I just discovered this by accident, haven't been able to download it successfully because of poor internet connection though but you can use the link to download the previewer to your PC.

thanx guy

God's favour.

Bestlyf: which payment mode do you advice, check or EFT?

Appliedmaths.:
@OP, please can I write in docx format? Is it advisable?

mk82:
Yes. Write in docx format but save as doc format (Word 97-2003) b4 uploading to Amazon.

one9jeria: ETF as a payment mode. what is it. can you receive your money in Nigeria if you use it as a payment mode. and how do you clear it in Nigeria is it through dom account like that of check,

mk82:
EFT - electronic fund transfer is for publishers with American or European bank accounts or other accepted countries. It means your royalty is sent directly into ur bank account. Nigerian banks are not accepted.

hamlak:

One way you can get around this is to get the payoneer.com card

I have a US card (not payoneer) which I use online to get all my earnings just like those in America and Europe.
It is what I have added now to my Kindle Account. The only thing left is to make the money .

dombible: Master do you mean i can not use my dom acct to receive transfer payment?

einstein_e:

You will be paid via check. you can then pay the check into your dom account. however, the process is slow so you may want to look into payoneer or graphcard.

mk82:
Payoneer will solve your Amazon payment problem. Visit their website to get details.
I don't think Graphcard can be used for amazon payments because your name has to be on the check.

Bestlyf: Post office is messing me up big time. I have applied for payoneer twice over 4 months now and I recieved none of them. Can I go ahead to upload my books and sort out payment details later?
