Hi boss,

Do you mean books sell more in winter?

Also, is it advisable to publish a book already on Amazon on Okadabooks?

Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Yes, books sell more in winter. The peak of the season is November to February. The lowest point is summer.
To publish a book on another eBook publishing platform just ensure it is not enrolled in Kdp select.

-Go to Google, type Amazon bestsellers. Click on the amazon bestseller's link
-At amazon bestsellers, click on kindle store on the left side (do not use the search box at the top)
-at kindle store, click on kindle ebooks below it
-under kindle ebooks, you will see many categories. click on anyone that you want and it will open subcategories.

Thanks so much, I have seen it. most of the bestsellers ebooks have about 300 pages and above, is it advisable to publish a book with above 200 pages or is there a way to see bestsellers ebooks with 30-45 pages.

Some bestsellers have 60 - 100 pages. It all depends on the niche. Always check the books you want to compete with.

Hi,

I don't know if I'm right. It seems one will be automatically log out of kdp select after 3 months.

Do you have idea how many pages of MS word doc double-spaced will produce 200 pages of kdp?

1. Wrong. Rather, Kdp select re-enrolls your book automatically. You have to manually untick the enroll button.
2. It's roughly 200 - 250 words per page for books that are mainly text so you need about 40k to 50k words. For cookbooks and picture books the counting is done differently.

pls i need your help

Okay, so after about a month plus of reading and continuous research on Amazon KDP, I eventually published my first book. All thanks to God and to MK8 for this thread. Not only that, he also helped with reviewing my first book cover and title. Boss, I appreciate. Below is my book cover, actually did it myself for $1. Here's also the link to the book which is currently enrolled 3 days on KDP Select.

Your criticisms are welcomed. @Mk8 and other mentors.

PS: I noticed that the subcategories I intended to publish my book wasn't available to me. I was made to choose other subcategories. How do I get Kindle to publish my book under the right subcategory?

please i need a kindle ebook cover designer. please send a pm

I started writing 1 September,2017. I have published 4 books so far. I am about to publish my 5th book but no single sale yet. This is getting me discouraged. mk82

Although I haven't seen your books but I can make a few guesses.
1. You didn't do proper keyword research.
2. Your content quality and quantity is low for the keyword or niche.
3. Your title and subtitle don't reflect the keyword.
4. Your cover is not professional enough.
5. You chose a very tough niche or a niche with celebrity authors or established professionals.
...and more.
If you take care of the above points then spread your net wider by publishing on draft2digital and createspace.

Thanks for your analysis. However, I have great covers. I did number 1 very well. I may be guilty of number 2 but does the quantity really matter or the quality? Quality is great. I do proper content research before writing but my lowest number of pages is 51 so far. I pass number 3 cuz I ensure that my keywords reflect the synonyms of my title and subtitle. Number 5: I am into health niche.

In all ,thanks for your awesome comment.

Let me add a few things to those points:
1. Proper keyword research also includes discarding keywords where too little money is chasing too many books.
2. Quality and quantity matter a lot. These days the quality barrier is higher. Apart from providing quality content, also check the average number of pages of the best books under your keyword and try to be close to them.
3. In titles and subtitles, we don't use synonyms for keywords. We use keywords provided by the amazon search engine with very very little deviation. When you are expert in this skill, you will practically "own" some keywords. Your book will pop up any time those phrases are typed into the amazon search box and will later extend to Google.
5. To make it in the health & fitness category, switch to books with mainly recipes and little talk. Don't write a health book with long stories. Choose keywords where the solution lies in eating a particular type of food. Write an introduction to talk about the diet then provide several excellent recipes.

Good day sir mk82, I just published my first e-book but whenever I search for it, it doesn't show price and also says"the title is available to u.k users only"
