150k, you mean, 150,000 words?

This should be like 7-10 books.

Or, is it a fiction book?

Fiction books have the toughest competition. If it is non fiction, I think you should consider breaking it down

More strategies for pricing your ebook


1. Price your paperback high.
Amazon always compares the price of the paperback version with the Kindle version on a book sales page by putting a strikethrough line across the print book price above the Kindle price. It makes it look like a discount. So, why not make it look like a bigger discount by increasing the price of your paperback?

2. Increase the price before your free ebook days.
If you use KDP Select and have five free ebook days per enrollment period, increase your price before you start offering your ebook for free.

This is especially important if your normal price is $2.99 or less. Set your price to $3.99 or even a little higher to make your free ebook offering look like a real steal for free.

Update note: If you are enrolled in KDP Select, your ebooks are available for Kindle Unlimited readers. Pricing your ebook a little higher could make your book look like a very good deal to KU readers.

3. High and low.
A high price will return more profit, but a low price will deliver more readers, or at least that is the common logic. However, it is worth seeing if this is true for your own ebook.

If your ebook is $2.99, try changing the price to $0.99 for two weeks, followed by two weeks at $4.99. You might be surprised at the result.

Summary
There are no concrete rules for an ebook pricing strategy, except that doing nothing will probably result in the same.

So by experimenting with your ebook price, often in combination with your online book promotion, you will be taking proactive action that can only help in the long run.

The aim is of course to sell more copies of your ebook, so the price is of secondary importance, as at any price a bestseller is a bestseller.

Hi,
Do Christian ebooks sell?

adaeze12345:

not all books will sale, its the hard truth publish more books yes you'll learn as your published.
and most importantly for anyone that'll read this.
write what readers want to buy not what you think will sale.
do research it's the basis of the business.

Thanks for your response.

I totally agree with you and I will work on your tips. However, the issue I have is that, just like a buyer would do, I searched for my book on amazon and no result was found. I typed the book's name, my name - being the author - and some of the keywords I used in the book details but no result was still found about the book. I only get to see my book on my book shelf.

Please have you any idea what might be wrong and what I can do?

Hi all,

I just fished editing my book and I tried publishing it on Amazon Kdp but found the preview not to be okay after uploading. I guess I was supposed to convert it to eBook and arrange it the way I wanted before I uploaded it. I uploaded it in Ms. Word format. Now, I have initiated it for publishing and I don't know how to stop it from being published that way.

Please I need someone to help me out!

You can always update new version to override that if it has been published already. To avoid same error download amazon PC previewer to view how the book looks even before upload or use the online when uploading and if error seen Save as a draft and re-upload later.

The book is well formatted and error free. But my issue is it not showing at all in the search result even when you type in every detail about it. I only always get to see it if I go through my book shelf and click "view on Amazon store". I want to start asking my Nigerian readers to get it on Amazon but there is no way. I am thinking of publishing the book on Okadabooks but I've already applied for Kindle Select on Amazon which bares me from doing such. I thought of unpublishing the book on amazon to enable me publish it elsewhere but I felt there might be some implications, or even sanctions, if I do.

That's my dillema.

I also found that Amazon segregates its market; from US to Uk, to Canada etc. I didn't find Nigeria. I am thinking of sharing a link of where my book can be found and purchased on Amazon but I don't know which link from which country or market to share.

If you intend to publish your books on AMAZON, it is imperative that you find profitable categories for them. Also, you need to know if there is a ready market for your book ideas, and if Amazon buyers are willing to pay for them. Moreover, you need to know if you can beat existing competitors in your selected category, and what you must do to be successful as a publisher.

For those running a kindle publishing business from Nigeria, how do you pay virtual assiatants or ghostwriting companies? I was trying to deposite from money to my Skrill account (alternative to PayPal) but I kept getting a transaction failed message. A customer care person from Diamond bank said international deposits cannot be made using the diamond bank debit card.

I'm wondering how you people managed to solve this problem. How do you make payments in dollars?

Thanks for any reply

I use access bank Visa card and it worked for me.
Another option is to fund your Skrill account through an exchanger. I use topupgold website.
