Hello, I just noticed this today. I am sorry, I would have replied to you since. Use the email on my profile.

Morning TIPS FOR KDP PUBLICATION 


Is there any link between the size of your book and your income? Yes there is. The more the size of your book, the more Amazon will charge you for delivery cost. So if you have a book of 2 Mb, Amazon will charge you more delivery of the book than it will charge a book of 800 kilobytes. Amazon charges 15 cents per Mb. So the higher your megabytes, the higher the cost of delivery. 


This will assume a very fearful dimension if you are writing a recipe book because of the pictures that you will need to include. 


How do you reduce the size of your book?
First compress all your pictures. Go to web resizer.com/resizer. There, upload your pictures, one after the other thr website will compress it for you. For instance in a picture of 500 kb, the website will compress it to you to a size of about 53 Kilobytes. 


When all your pictures are all compressed, your book size will be reduced.

Guy please,
Can someone tell me more about Amazon's Digital Rights Management (DRM)?

Will it affect my lending rates on kindle after publishing or will it just help my sell more books? White people like free stuff just as much as everyone else and will device ways of getting anything for free, this I know well.

So my question is, what has been you experience with digital rights management and book sales?

Digital management rights is to prevent piracy of your book. I use it all the time on my book.

Thanks a lot for your effort to help as many Nigerians as possible to succed with KDP. My question is, do i need dormicilliary account to cash the check or is it possible to cash the check using savings account since is a dollar check? Thank you.

You do not need dormucilliary account for your transaction. Just register with payoneer, once you are paid by Amazon, you can withdraw your money at Nigerian ATMs in Naira value. I hope this answers your question.

Hello friends and good morning. The day is just around the corner.

All admission closes 12midnight today. I am pleased to announce to you that coaching begins tomorrow Friday the 17th of March.

I am so excited. So if you have not registered to join the Amazon Kindle Publishing whatsapp coaching, do so now while there is time.

The reason I won't be admitting anyone after midnight is so that there won't distractions during coaching and / or I won't have to be repeating myself cos of a new member.

So call or whatsapp me now 08166234713 to join while it is still open. It is only N1,000.

Have a nice day.

Let us be fair with our knowledge especially when we obtain it for free.

Juwoonn, how now? Fiverr is a very risky place to outsource books. They're a lot of desperate workers there and they can put you in trouble. I don't know how they do it, the work will pass copyscape but won't pass Amazon's test.
I wish I had seen your post before you replied them, I would have said don't bother replying. They'll just block the book after 5 days and sometimes they can decide to allow it.

Definitely don't take ribechi's advice.

If they allow the book to stay, you still have to take the trouble to rewrite it to make it more unique for the sake of your account.
Around 2014-15, I hired someone on odesk for a series of 165 recipes that had the same problem. They allowed the book when I didn't reply after 5 days but I had to take 2 weeks to rewrite every single recipe to protect my business. Those books have made several thousand dollars since.

I was also thinking of outsourcing on freelancer. Com. However, with this now, what do I do? I need advice. Please oga MK82, which of them is the best option. I want to increase my books in the system so that I can make more money. Any advice please?

born2wyn:
Am glad i came across this thread on monday 13th march and was motivated to write.I just finished a 4250 words book but yet to make my cover,TOC and copyright pages.am no tech savy,i think this is my challenge but i will try all the same.Thank you all so much,God bless you

That is Good. But I will. Encourage you to add a little more to your book. In Amazon, that will. Not give you more than twenty something pages. The Higher the amount of pages, the more is it that people believe they can get value for their money.

bros1234:
Thanks for the video.

The volume is a bit low.

The file is large. People raely have time to finish 1 hour tutorials. You break it down to several parts.

But on the overall, good work.

My love to you, Pius

I thank you sir. I will make the next video better.

ONLINE PUBLISHING.

beware of early satisfaction. Anytime you stop learning about any business that you are doing, you stop growing. Look for information, learn from people in this business. God bless you.

No, it is not too late. I just recently began kindle publishing and I am earning money by God's mercies.

Hello House, I am sorry for delaying with the video on how to format your book for creastpace. I am still working on. Part my big problem was using a video editor to zoom in and out. I am sorry for the delay. Hopefully, I release the video before weekend. I apologize.

I mean, I got your explanation and I'm referring to you as a coach.

Okay, sorry for the misunderstanding.

motivator4:
please i'm new here. i finished this my book since last year August and its rolling out in machine (hard copy). i'm even almost through with my second book. all my effort to publish by first book in amazon has been fruitless. i really need help in publishing my book in amazon. i'm stocked at the bank selection. they keep saying they don't pay to banks in my location Nigeria. i don't know if there is any other alternative.

please someone should come to my rescue. thanks.

Go open a payoneer account by going to payonner. Com and register. Then provide them that the payonner account is an American bank. They will give you and ETF and an American bank number. Then register the bank account hunger with your bank

craigkoel1989:
Thanks for this thread. I have made $150 on amazon kindle in just 1 month. I started on the 8th of febuary and have made what i never thought of. God bless you op

Julivas:
Please house can i start this with a phone?

A serious business like this you want to start it with a phone? Get a laptop or a desktop. Spend little money to get more money.

Copy coach... and one more thing, is it wise to apply for paperback?

I don't understand what you mean by copy coach?

fantastical:
Can someone help here. I have uploaded my ebook successfully on kdp, but the pricing is the problem since the minimum amount to enter is $2.99. How much does a book that has 141pages (46,827) cost? i need an urgent response please.

Check the prices of similar books in your niche. At least the prices of the first 20 books will give you an idea of your price. If you over priced your book at for instance 5.99 and I can see a similar book that is selling at 2.99, why should I buy your book when I can get the same book and the same quality of information at 2.99? So Prices of Books in your niche should guide you in deciding the price of your own book.

Quick update on my new book:

The launch was a success on Wednesday and right now the book went from #84 to #9 for one of its category!

Congratulations

jadyclem:
bro I hail! pls when publishing ur book on kindle, how did u choose d categories? I asked because some of the categories I want to use on mine are not displaying but they are showing in other pple's published book

You use keywords to get into those categories. Go to Google and type "Selecting Browse Categories" Then choose your particular related niche. After that, pick a keyword from there and then put in inside your kindle page where you insert the 7 keyword and you will be there.

I am releasing my video link to YouTube tonight on how to format for creastpace. Please house, bear with me. I did two videos on Sunday, but there was no sound. Bear with me please.
