A good keyword is: high demand, low competition.

Continuation of your questions...

5. Is book publishing hard?

Answer

No and yes. Your first 5 months is hard without a mentor. But after that, it's no longer hard when you understand the business and master keyword research.

6. I can't write, so what should I do?

Answer

Outsource to a good freelancer to write for you.

7. I don't have money or a laptop, so what should I do?

Answer

Stupid question of a lazy animal. Then give up and go back to your village to stay with you village people — idiot. Instead of you to say, "I'll look for a way to get money and get started, you're here saying you don't have money."

8. Please, will you teach me how to do it?

Answer

No, I won't.

Use Google or YouTube. Or, higher a mentor — it's not cheap, but worth it.

9. Is this business profitable? If yes, what topic should I write on?

Answer

Yes, it's profitable if you understand the key things like:

A) Keyword research
B) Best categories to put your book
C) Great content
D) Simple, yet catchy cover
E) Great description with copywriting technique
G) Branding
H) Amazon ads (optional)
I) Writing/outsourcing more books
J) Tips and techniques to stay ahead of other publishers

10. How do I fill the tax form?

Answer

As a Nigerian, your country does not have a tax treaty with the US, so you'll pay 30% tax from your 60% royalties. It's easy. Visit this link https://www.wetclef.com/topic592.html to see how easy it is.

11. How do I get paid?

Answer

Open a Payoneer account via https://payoneer.com and they'll give you a virtual account. Use the account details they'll generate and head back to KDP dashboard to fill it. It's simple. Yes, there is an option to get Payoneer MasterCard, but don't worry about it yet. Just fill the form and start publishing.

12. Is this business a scam?

Answer

No, but if you're not confident in doing it, then go and continue being a slave and get paid peanut at the end of the month in that job you're trying to get or already in.

Yes, I know there is another question in your mind, so ask below and you'll get a reply within a couple of hours or minutes.

Kindle Direct Publishing: How Many Pages Should My Book Be? ANSWERED.

The bigger your book, the more money Amazon makes, but the smaller your book, the more money you make.

So, having a big book is not a good thing. Though, if you consider putting it on KDP Select or having an audio version, then the bigger the book, the better the income.

The most important thing is the quality and knowing how to optimize for a better ROI.

I'll use my yesterdays upload as a lecture.

1. What is the shorted paperback book I can publish?

Answer

The shortest is 24 pages.

2. What is the word count of 24 pages?

Answer

It has no specific word count. Your formatting and page size will determine.

3. What is the best paper size format to use?

Answer

None is the best, but I use 5.25 x 8 most of the time. In fact, I use it 98% of the time. If the book is too big or a bundle that is too big, I use 6x9 to make it fit.

4. What is the highest pages of book Amazon allows to be published?

Answer

It's 830 pages, but you need to submit not more than 828 pages. The extra two will be used for front and back cover.

Typing...

So it's best to resize the paper size from the standard word paper size?

Hello iLegendd;


Is it advisable to attach screenshots or images to your ebook, in a situation where you're trying to give a detailed explanation of something.



So far, I noticed the currency you used was GBP. Is there a reason for this? why not $US.
That no 7 though,let me laugh small.
