Yes, Nigerians are not allowed to sell products on Amazon, but if it's a digital product, then they're allowed.

How do you sell? You create an account on www.KDP.amazon.com, then create another account with www.payoneer.com and use the account details from Payoneer to fill in your Amazon dashboard.


How are my supposed to fill it.. I have the two accounts.. I see only options for country once you select Nigeria its rejected
When you're set, write a book and publish. With the help of YouTube or Google, you'll find answers to all you need on uploading the book.

1; how good is an author biograghy or a fiction based book sold?
2; what is your recommended paper size?
3; what is your recommended number of pages in a book?

iLegendd:


1. As good as you make it and promote it.
2. Depending on what you want — 5.5 x 8.5.
3. Talk about it until everything you need has been said — that is the recommended number of pages. (25 to 350)

If everything you want inside the book stopped at 10 pages, publish the 10 pages on Kindle. If it stops at 825 pages, publish the 825 pages on Kindle and paperback.

Jboyossai:

is it advisable to divide a book of over 1000 pages into pages of about 300+ and publish them as part 1, part 2, part 3, part++; seperately?
Or i should publish the over 1000 pages once in a single book?

iLegendd:


If you want to make more money, put them in series (parts). It may even be 100 pages each. After the series, bundle them. Book 1 + book 2 = bundle 1. Book 3 + book 4 = bundle 2. And so on. At the end, bundle all the books in that series into a single bundle.

Do the above only if you want to make more money, but if you hate money, then publish all as 1 book and move on to writing another book.

Thanks for your response so far. I'm really interested in this business, but my problem is how to write the book; I'm not much of a writer; I don't even have any idea on what to write. Please how do I go about these issues?

iLegendd:


Hire a mentor. He will teach you all you need to know and how to outsource to a ghostwriter.

ekrizz:


Please where can I find a mentor? I don't have any friends in the literary niche.

Ginaruby:
Can't find an option to add payoneer.
I can only see option for countries

Ginaruby:
How should I go about the tax for a beginner.
I can't do the US you mentioned. Should I fill in my Nigerian TIN and confirm?

@iLegendd I have still not published my book yet. My problem now is formating.

My TOC are not clickable after adding hyperlinks. What should I do please?

Jboyossai:
Who design your book cover and how much do you pay them?

2k — 5k (private designer)

Book design is easy, so most times, I do it myself. All my books on Amazon, I designed the covers.

If you're not a designer, you can always look around and hire someone or you can visit Fiverr to hire a freelancer designer. All the best.

JustSomeDude:
I can't view my books on Amazon US. Two books were sold and it hasn't reflected on my royalty estimator for more than 3 days. Is there an issue with Amazon's website?

JustSomeDude:
I want to know something. Do I get paid all my royalties at once or am I paid for each book?
