I think I have given this guide in the past. Please see if you can scan backwards.

Read through but found some holes.

Did you call using a Nigerian number?
Did you say that you're a Nigerian living in SA?

Just need some clarification

Thank you for the great thread

I can say you are highly welcome. Thank you for the encouragement too. I will say that I will be willing to offer some Help to you whenever that you desire. Besides, we all are learning in this business. I started create space properly in January. What happened in October, was just a trial of the system. And I can I say that within that short time, I have learnt a lot. So don't wait and keep delaying, the earlier you start off, the better. Right now, I have five books on thr system. Many of the books are making the hot new release list by the mercies of God.


Ask any question, and you will be answer. The $10 is for copyscape. Once you pay $ 10, they will give you searches for up to 200 times. Since I paid my ten, I have published five books with it and I have more than 158 credits or searches left. Know this, that if you want to avoid problem of plagiarism with Amazon, then you must have to begin in thr place of copyscape. Pass your books through copy and Amazon won't have any form of issues with you.

And unemployed Graduate, now you have an employment. What you need is just a good laptop, desire to earn online, steady Internet connection, good research abilities. And God's goodness and mercies to succeed. And you will be surprise. To launch my February, some of my books sold in the very first day of the month of February and are still selling. To also let you know, I am working full time with a Company here in Nigeria, however, I still by the mercies of God devide my time and do this business. My weekends are always important to me because those are the day I use to occupy myself alot with writing and publishing. Wishing you all the best.


Finally, if you can't write, outsource, if you can't design a book cover, outsource. Outsource means looking for someone who will do these things for you and you will pay him.


Wishing you all the best.

Payonner charges when using your ATM here is too much. Besides, they also charge you a yearly fee. And they offer just about the exchange rate of 285, I think this is bad on their part.

Always use an exchanger. Their Atm charges are killer. Even as you input your card $1 I believe is already deducted, check balance with atm same thing. Plus the rate is at the official low rate.

How many dollars did they even charge, I can't tell. They almost finished the money in my account. I will never use their card again for any reason. These people and their ways.

Its not wise to use ATM to cash your Payoneer dollars. Not wise at all. Always, always use an exchanger.

Payoneer also charges about 29.9 annual card maintenance fee.

Keywords are right there in Amazon themselves. If you go to Amazon, click on your search bar and make sure that it is in the kindle store option. To ensure that it is on the kindle store, click on a small arrow by your left and then select kindle store. Then type What your book is all about slowly in thr search bar and see what amazon will suggest to you. Then click on each key word. Let says, you wrote a book on anger management, when you type anger management, then you will see options that amazon will suggest. Once you have done that, click on each one. Then check on the first 5 books that rank for that key words. They should have the bestseller rank of 10,000 to 30, 000 or less. That mean that there is money in that keyword. For further keywords, type anger management a, type b, c, then D....... Till Z to see the words that will be suggested to you. After that, then make sure that you use some of the keyword in your book title and subtitle. For me, my principle is to combine at least 3— 5 keywords in my title and subtitle. It will give you a higher chance of ranking your book on thr first page of search engine optimization (SEO).

I have been trying this and it works. Some of my books are now ranking on the first page of Amazon search page. For category, look at similar books on the keywords that you are writing and then add thr same category.



My advice to you is to study more on keywords in google. Study more about it. God bless you.
