Hello business gurus. I created this thread for those of us that want to know more about amazon publishing. We are here to Learn from those that have succeeded in this great venture. Please gurus in the house, help us answer these questions:

1. What can we write: Most people recommend writing on science and tech stuffs. Something expository. It could also be on any field of study, like researching and writing on the superego (psychology) but I am beginning to doubt this. Amazon houses a good number of fiction. Checking their best sellers, you will see fictions and non fiction, we barely see books relating to the aforementioned topics and their likes. What is your take on this?

2. Word count: I have heard people say they publish three books in a months, my question is what is the minimum word count for a good book on Amazon. Can a write a book of 5000 words and publish it?

3. Are we to market our books: Everything done, are we to still market our books on social media platforms?

4. The ideal amount to charge for a book: what amount really justifies our intellectual work. We see books costing 17 dollars but that we be too extreme for low profile authors like us. What do you suggest?

4. Cover design and book formatting: This has always been a problem because a beautiful cover page, attracts potential buyers. (Permit me to do some marketing) As for cover design and book formating, I can do that for a fee, but if you want to have options, you can go to the freelance world and pay some fees slightly higher than mine, you can also take recommedations from whoever other experts recommend here. It is all good though.

Pls we need help.
