Yes, it's true that paleo an vegetarian recipes are hot but they are also competitive. If you want to go into these niches, you have a lot of learning to do. I had to almost become an expert in these diets before I could publish successful books. If you mistakenly include one or two types of food they don't eat, an avalanche of bad reviews will descend on you. Even if you outsource the book, you must go through it line by line to filter the ingredients.

***Compliments of the season to the public and silent followers of this thread. we will all have a greater 2014. I've been away for a while because of antispambot ban. Thanks to those that have been answering questions when I couldn't. The two deleted posts on page thirteen are mine.

Your question is not clear. If you mean how much you should price it, check the price of similar books in the same niche/keyword.

@mk82, what does it mean when a book has amazon best ranks 304, 199 and is first on Amazon front page of a particular niche.

Bestlyf: @mk82, what does it mean when a book has amazon best ranks 304, 199 and is first on Amazon front page of a particular niche.

Amazon best sellers rank is the arrangement of books according to the sales they have made within the past 1 hour. The No. 1 book is the one with the highest sales followed by 2,3,4 and so on. A book with 304,199 is selling about 1 book per week or less. If it is on the first page of the niche, that niche is not good. Check kdpcalculatordotcom.

Wow!
Am so so much happy to find this thread after lots of research on how to "Write amazon kindle easily"
Thank God I find it here!

Please,here is my questions:
Is it right to copy and spin some informations on PLR,MRR and public domain works,articles or ebook?

For example, If I wanna write on recipes...can I copy from other peoples work (like a PLR articles/ebooks or a Public domain work) and spin them and change them to look unique?
Mind you these recipes I wanna write on, have not seen or tasted them before.

You don't have to save in the web page filtered format.Just save as MS word 97-2003 and upload directly to Amazon.

To spin PLR, MRR, you must make sure you achieve a 100% spin, for you to know you have that you'll have to pass it through copyscape, that way you would know you're 100% safe. Also, if you plan on copying recipe online, you must know how to change the title, they must not be the same, also you cant write the same description as it is, you have to give your own Description. This it what U.S copyright have to say

Here’s what the US copyright website says regarding cookbooks: Copyright law does not protect recipes that are mere listings of ingredients. Nor does it protect other mere listings of ingredients such as those found in formulas, compounds, or prescriptions. Copyright protection may, however, extend to substantial literary expression—a description, explanation, or
illustration, for example—that accompanies a recipe or formula or to a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook.
Only original works of authorship are protected by copyright. “Original” means that an author produced a work by his or her own intellectual effort instead of copying it from an existing work.
Source: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl122.html There are still easy ways to gather recipes.

So for now Bro, Stick with what you know.

Yes you can do all that. Just make sure you get materials from diverse sources and add your own touch. Do not just rewrite a particular PLR/MRR ebook.
***Do not spin. Rewrite the material and make a new "original".
One other thing, check your work with copyscape before you upload to kdp.

pls what is the meaning of copyscape

akpan aniefiok:
pls what is the meaning of copyscape

Copyscape is a website that check for duplicate content online. if you have an article or a book you want to know if its original you pass through copyscapedotcom. that way you will know you have an original book content. Copyscape charges you for every article you want to check, but this is how I do it for FREE

Note:To do this convert you book content to an .html file, upload it on a web-host, use the link, visit copyscapedotcom, you would see where to put your URL. Paste the site address and voila! Very Easy

Do not bother converting to html for the free copyscape test. Just create a free blogger blog, paste your book content as a post and use the URL of the blog to test on copyscape. Delete the blog post afterwards.

My Advice is that if you really want to take this business seriously, pay for the premium service. $5 (~N800) gets you 100 credits that you can use for up to 30 books.That's N8 per credit. I use average of 3 credits per book. I test 2500 to 3500 words per credit.

The free test is not as thorough as the premium. Sometimes some errors will slip through and you will have problems with amazon. This happens usually with recipes. When you use premium copyscape, every duplicate content is highlighted so you know exactly what to change.

Thanks Op for the Tips...I am having problem with payoneer, its been 3 weeks now I applied and they haven't sent a comfirmation to me yet. Even after scanning my Passport and Sending my passport. What Should Be the Problem @Op. Thanks

mk82:
I'm glad there are other people making some effort.Fiction is the best selling niche in kindle but it's also the one with the highest failure rate. I outsourced some fiction books a few months ago and I'm yet to get back my capital from d sales. meanwhile my nonfiction books pay for themselves within a week.
Your $6000/month is not long shot at all.it is very possible.I'm working with a similar plan.

Tank u @ OP... Wen u say outsource ur content, do u mean like getin odas to write ur original content materials 4 d ebook while u pay dem 4 d job?

1. Did you apply directly on their website?It's usually faster.
2. It could be because you used international passport as ID.it does not show address like national ID or driver's license. A few people l know had similar problems.If you register with the same address and name on your ID, your card will be approved within 3 days and bank account about 10 days.

Yes

Thanks mk82 and other guys.today am uploading my 1st book after 2 month! Thank God o

Bestlyf: @Mk82. I just downloaded my transaction report November 2013 for my first book and discover that during the 2days period of free promotion Amazon sold more than 300 of my books at a price higher than what I set. But after the free promo was over, no more sales. \Right now my second seems to be making more sales for amazon than the free download I am getting. Doesn't it stand to reason that it is better not to promote your books at all or register with KDP select? Since it seems you lose money in the process.

I got this information from "Prior six weeks royalties" of my report page. Of what relevance is this report?

@MK82: please respond to this due to your experiences. How far can this be true?

I wanted to answer this question at that time but was under antispambot ban.
Now, in the "Prior six weeks royalties" page, the column for units sold and net units sold can show either free downloads or real sales. You can easily see this under transaction type.it will be standard or free promotion.

For real sales, the royalty type will show 35% or 70%. For free downloads, it will be N/A.
The over 300 sales Beetlyf referred to were free downloads.

Now about amazon selling more than your set price. When you set the USA price, it will be used for other territories that do not have their own marketplaces. The cost of selling those books in those places will be higher than the USA price. This because of the different laws of those countries. Sometimes, you get only 35% royalty from some territories even if you chose 70%.

please guys i need your urgent reply, am on the publisher page, about to publish my book, please should i enable DIGITAL RIGHT MANAGEMENT?

akpan aniefiok: please guys i need your urgent reply, am on the publisher page, about to publish my book, please should i enable DIGITAL RIGHT MANAGEMENT?

Yes enable DRM. It discourages people from sharing your book with others.If they want it they have to buy.
