sim4fx: Mk82,1.To answer ur questions. Spiritual topics don't sell except you are a celebrity pastor like Joel Osteen or Rick Warren. -How to handle anger will sell more than parenting but it must not be a spiritual book . 2. If you are a Pastor n author, you will get more sales selling ur books to ur established audience here in Nigeria than on Amazon where nobody knows you. Kindle publishing is successful when you find out what is selling and you ride with the wave. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Bestlyf: Post office is messing me up big time. I have applied for payoneer twice over 4 months now and I recieved none of them. Can I go ahead to upload my books and sort out payment details later? Upload ur books immediately! Payoneer card's arrival to Nigeria is 1-5 months because of our ancient postal system. All d cards u applied for will still come. If ur books sell, ur money will accumulate with time n amazon will pay into ur payoneer account.You can then use $60 to order a new card thru DHL (if u can not wait any longer). That is what I did. 2 Likes |

einstein_e:Payoneer will solve your Amazon payment problem. Visit their website to get details. I don't think Graphcard can be used for amazon payments because your name has to be on the check. 1 Like |

one9jeria: ETF as a payment mode. what is it. can you receive your money in Nigeria if you use it as a payment mode. and how do you clear it in Nigeria is it through dom account like that of check,EFT - electronic fund transfer is for publishers with American or European bank accounts or other accepted countries. It means your royalty is sent directly into ur bank account. Nigerian banks are not accepted. |

Opengates: @mk82: For taking this upon yourself and your promptness in addressing people's questions, it shows the reason why you are such a way blessed and I pray this is the beginning of real success in your life which shall know no bound in Jesus name, Amen. Keep it up and don't be discouraged. KDP PAYMENTS You will be paid 60 days after you reach the payment threshold according to d payment mode dat u choose (check or EFT). Example if u reach d minimum payment in February, u will be paid end of April. The only lag time is when you are just starting. After ur first 60 days with KDP, u will continue to receive monthly payments as long as you can cross minimum payment level each month. Jan money is paid in March, Feb paid in April,April paid in June etc. If you are receiving EFT, you will get a Remittance Advice in ur email once your payment is ready each month. for dis November, payment is on d 29th. Remittance Advice is not sent to those that are receiving checks. |

one9jeria: a little clarification on formating of your book. let us ms word for instance, what is the font size (12, or 14)?1. font size 12 2. use default MS Word spacing. 3. Don't indent your paragraphs. use left justify. Leave one line between paragraphs. To test, copy a portion of d writeup n paste it in notepad. 4 Likes 1 Share |

one9jeria: dear OP can you write originally on a book and give it the same title that is already on sale in the amazon kindle store.I haven't done that but I don't think it's ethically right. You can twist the title a bit. |

Bestlyf: @mk82, How do I get my book to rank in the first page of kindle books? I believe the books on first page would do better in times of visibility and sales.Books are ranked according to Amazon Sales Rank. Now this can be real sales or free downloads (during free promotions). If ur book is selling well, it will naturally appear on d first page of bestsellers in its category. The other way to get your book on the first page is to have a successful free promotion. On the bestsellers' page, paid books are displayed alongside free books. This means if you have a lot of free promo downloads, d book will appear alongside other bestsellers under paid. This exposure will translate to sales for you when d free promo ends. Example. I did a free promo for a new book over the weekend. It had over 2400 downloads in 2 days n rose to number 1 in 2 subcategories. It also rose up to #86 free in Kindle store. D promo ended 2 days ago n it has sold almost 80 copies. 2 Likes |

suxes2005:Yes ten books. The first one is up over the weekend and has sold more than 50 copies as of this morning (it's in hot new release in two subcategories). I'm uploading the next one today. 3 are being written by freelancers n I'm doing anoda by myself. Tip: sales rise November to February and there will be bonus from KDP select dat is why I'm rushing. Read dat your 27 page book again.There must be something in it for people to b buying it.It has happened to me before. We learn from success,failure n mistakes in this biz. Promotion will not work for some books. especially if it is in a generally category. this happened to most of the fiction books I published. but when I publish a book in a narrowed down nonfiction niche, it's always blast.I've had more than 2000 downloads in one day. I think free kindle book sites are overrated. I've since stopped using them. I haven't seen much difference in my free promos. 5 Likes |

onlineresource: @mk82,To check your sales n promotion downloads, click on reports on your dashboard then select "Month-to-Date Unit Sales". You'll see each book's performance for separate market places. You are seeing no promotion probably because d promo had ended. Promotions start 8am Nigerian time on d chosen date and run for 24 hours. Eg, a 2 day promotion starts 8am Monday will end 8am Wednesday. 2 Likes |

Bestlyf: @mk82, what's the probability of a motivational book selling on kindle?The ordinary motivational book will not sell. I mean the type that is only about encouraging people.

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM One of the main problems you have to overcome when creating Kindle ebooks is that of copied content. This is a challenge whether you are outsourcing or writing your books by yourself. Amazon does not accept content that is freely available on the internet. If you submit copied content, you'll be warned and a repeat may lead to the account being blocked. This is a real concern if you are writing nonfiction. Because: -You cannot creat facts - You must get material from already existing sources. Here are my suggestions: 1. Get your materials from multiple sources -eBooks, physical books & reputable websites. 2. Ensure that every sentence and paragraph is properly rewritten. Even if you are writing recipes, d order of the ingredients can be changed and the directions written in your own words. 3. If you are modelling a particular successful book, make sure you do not use the exact format and presentation.eg your chapters and subchapters should have different titles. 4. Finally, Check the finished work with copyscape and correct any duplicate content detected. I personally use the premium copyscape account. 16 Likes 1 Share |
