Thanks Man. I will check it out. I appreciate.

I have replied your mail.

Pls how do I go about in the process of formatting?, do I just upload my book and let kindle take care of the formatting process or do I set the format and which format do I use. Also which software do u use to change format?

You need to handle the formating. There are lots of free video guides on YT on how to format an Amazon book in minutes.

Use 5.25 by 8 or 5.5 by 8 or 6 by 9. Choose whichever you prefer.

Change format? I have never changed format before. After formating on Microsoft word, save as PDF and upload. For Kindle, upload the doc file or use a software called Calibre to convert your word document to ePub.

I hope you have a laptop and you're not thinking of formatting with a phone. You can write with a phone, but formating is better with a PC.

From the little i know ProWritingAid and Grammarly will do just great But let our boss give a hint

You're right, but those are for proofreading, not formatting.

Please.. Approximately, 500 KENP reads will translate into how much?

Forget about money and write more quality books.

Pls boss,
Between non fiction and fiction categories, which is more cash productive?
Now I am extremely talented in writing fiction stories, but I need to know which category earns more so I would not waste my time in the unproductive category

Boss ilegend

On my kdp report I saw 1 paid unit ordered ebook
But the money did not show at all on the royalties earn box and I saw 38 KENP read .

If you want to ask me a question, always quote me, but if it's just a contribution, then you don't need to quote me.

1. Which is more? Both. It all depends on your level or exposure. Stephen King is making millions of dollar as a fiction writer and at the same time, Robert Kiyosaki is also making millions as a nonfiction writer. So, both are great.

What you need is to follow the one that will stand the test of time and that is: nonfiction. Though, fiction do stand the test of time too, so choose one or go into both with different pen names.

2. Both are great, but I'm 99% into nonfiction. I'll go into fiction (mostly hot romance novels) when I'm tired of nonfiction.

The choice is yours.

Either it has been refunded or you should be patient. If it hasn't been refunded, the money is somewhere there.

Good afternoon boss, please can I publish my B.sc project work on kindle and paperback?

You can publish anything as long as you own it and it can't be freely found online.

Publishing is not the problem. The problem is: are people willing to buy such book? This is where keyword research comes into play.

What if I bought and read an interesting story by someone else and I feel that the story is a good one that will sell, can I publish it on KDP, if yes, can I retain the author's name, or give it another pen name?

If it's not yours, AVOID it. Ask the original owner if he wants you to publish it or not. His decision will determine your action. Publishing it without telling him = stealing.

OneKinGuy:

In case you still need it, I have one year premium grammarly available. Let me know if you are interested.

Am interested sir. Kudos for all you do. I have published my book, just within 24hours of reading your piece, will be publishing the other one by Monday evening, so many more in the coming week will be published. Nobody told me a thing until I came across your article here on Nairaland..I have authored and launched two books and I have several unpublished titles without this knowledge. Thank you again and again

Please, i need to ask you some questions
1. If I write a book and decide not to use my real name, should I register another Amazon account for it?
2. if no, will it affect my payment on payoneer or I would have to open another payoneer account?

You're welcome.

1. No. You don't need another account. You use one account to publish with different pen names.

2. No, it won't.

Only 1 Amazon and 1 Payoneer account is needed and publish with as many pen names as you wish. At the end of the month, money from all books will arrive in your Payoneer account.

hello ILegendd..I am midway through my first book but a bulk of the material is from Google.

Is there a harm in doing that?

Yes.

Amazon doesn't like PLR. If you can rewrite everything in your own words, then great.

Yes.

Hello boss. I got an issue trying to publish an LCB. Amazon claimed they can't publish it as some other interactive device would be needed by the intended user.

I see LCBs published all the time. I do not get what I'm doing improperly. Infact, I have no idea how to query google for a solution.

Kindly help.

Sorry about what happened. I haven't gotten such a message on an LCB book but have gotten a different type on a real book. They told me what to amend and after I did it, it was successful.

Sadly, in your case, it seems that message is automated, so go to your KDP dashboard, scroll to the bottom and click on Contact Us, then find the appropriate section, click on it and send them a complaint about the issue.

Only do this if you know other people are selling such a book on Amazon without issues. Just explain to them the message you got and what your book is for. At this time, a human will review it.

1. If a book has a low BSR, let's say about #100.
Does it automatically mean the book title is heavily searched on amazon?

Yes, it's not only heavily searched, but heavily bought as well. The cause may be because the author is famous, the book is amazing, or the competition is less while the title is extremely profitable.
