In this lesson we are going to go over some of the basic information
you'll need to know before you begin publishing your own Kindle books.

As most of us know, Amazon is an extremely popular online marketplace
that provides a wide variety of products including digital books that are
meant to be read on an ebook reader.

Amazons popularity has skyrocketed with the development and sale of
the Amazon Kindle. This small and lightweight device pushed ebooks to
the next level. Readers no longer need a computer. With the Kindle, they
can cuddle with a good (digital) book anywhere any time, without worrying
about where the closest wall outlet is.

Along with that boom in popularity came the massive opportunity for
profit. Soon writers, publishers and entrepreneurs all flocked to Amazon
to take advantage of the Kindle self-publishing platform.

Before you can begin taking advantage of the self-publishing tools
provided by Amazon you will need to get a free Amazon account, that is if
you don't already have one.

For publishing purposes you can use the same account, so there is no
need to create a separate one to start publishing books on Kindle. If by
chance you don't have an account, don't worry, creating one is quick and
easy!

If you've only been using your Amazon.com account to make purchases,
some additional information will be required. Amazon will recheck your
email address, ask for your social security number, and your bank
account information. As concerning as this sounds, it is totally above
board. They require this information in order to provide you with reports,
earnings and (most importantly) to pay you your share of the profits.

On the Kindle platform you don't sell traditional ebooks. Unlike selling
ebooks online, you won't be creating your document in Microsoft Word
and selling it as a PDF file. The books you create must be in digital text
format and Amazon will handle the conversion during the upload process.

Don't worry Amazon has taken online publishing to a whole new level by
providing you with a suite of tools and all the help you need to start
publishing right away.

To access the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) platform you can visit
Amazon.com, scroll to the bottom and click on the link titled Self-Publish
with Us. or you can visit the website directly at: https://kdp.amazon.com
there you will find everything you need to get started publishing on the
Kindle platform.

Myth: You don't need an ISBN number to sell books in the Amazon Kindle
Store. When listing your book for sale you will be asked for an ISBN
number, but one is not required, so you can simply skip this field and
move onto the next.

Amazon.com pays you a 35% royalty fee for each sale made. While, this
amount seems relatively small when compared to other selling options,
you must remember that you are getting access to Amazon's massive
customer list so the potential profit can be far greater.

To ensure you make a profit, set a fair selling price. Remember, a good
selling price translates into more sales. When pricing your book be sure
to consider the big picture. More sales at a lower price than less sales at
a higher price will help even out your profit margin. In fact, most make
more money with they are lower priced Kindle Books then they do with
higher-priced ones.

Keep in mind that prospective buyers can preview your book with the
"Look Inside" feature, which is automatically enabled when you publish
your book with KDP. So before uploading your book be sure to review
"Look inside" FAQ section. This well be 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 will
decrease.

Don't feel like you have to write a new ebook to begin publishing on
Amazon. If you are already an established ebook author you can upload
your existing ebooks to the digital text platform and convert them into
the Kindle format for increased profits.

That's it for today's lesson. We have a lot to go over in the next few days if

own books. In your next lesson we will be talking about
