Glad to find one more person this thread has helped. Your offer to recharge my phone is appreciated. Send Etisalat. Send the numbers to the gmail on my profile page.

Meanwhile, don't delay coming back to Kindle. Winter is coming, and that's when sales skyrocket.

Amazon kindle publishing is not that hard to do, just take your time to read and go through the platform and you are good to go.

Though I am not a writer, but am working on the platform right now as I typed. I want to publish a book for a Dr. titled "Poverty is by Choice" .

The hard cover is 148 pages and I am 98% done on Amazon Kindle. it is about 200 pages on Amazon Kindle.

as I upload the book on amazon kindle, I preview to see if there are errors and I make corrections immediately. The only thing that may seem difficult is how to organize the book in MS-Word but with time you get after trying and error.

The good thing about the platform is that it will allow you to do trying and error and u can always modify it.

How about dividing the book into series. This will keep the reader wanting T̶̲̥̅Ơ̴͡ know.

Jst a suggestion.

mk82:
Assume that any number you see under the KU/KOLL
Units or KENP Read column is pages read.
From my calculation, each page read gives $0.0058. This means you need about 172 pages read to get $1.
(Don't start dancing yet.)

This is not a fair deal at all. Anyway, I'm back since Oga at the top said sales skyrocket at winter. mk82, I hail.

ribechi:
Talking about niches, i will also advice you on what niche is best for you with little or no competition and with the appropriate keyword to use. For your Kindle ebook to rank high in Amazon Kindle Search Query, you need to have an optimized keyword for that category you have posted your ebook so that when such searches are made, your book will come up and not just coming up, it will rank high.

To protect everyone's niche, I shall be sending your niche report to your email.

Time of Delivery: Within 24hrs
Cost of Service: Absolutely Free
No of Niches per person: Two (2) Niches (This is to reduce the work load for me).

Abeg, where is @Sarahn

I A̶̲̥̅♏ so sorry people. There has been a delay in getting your reports. This is due poor internet connectivity.

It has been raining all day here in akure. However, Ɣø̲̣̣U will get your reports in the early hours of tomorrow.

Thank Ɣø̲̣̣U for your understanding.

mk82:
Hello, I am opening this thread to create a meeting point for people who are publishing books on Kindle –Amazon’s Direct Publishing Platform. Those who want to learn about it are also welcome.

I’ve been on KDP for over a year now and I can honestly say it is the most convenient way to make money on the internet. It has more advantages than any other online money making system that I know (I know what I’m saying). Started internet business in 2009 and I’ve done almost everything, Adsense, Adsense domain, blogging, CPA, affiliate marketing, article writing and more.

Kindle will not make you rich overnight but IT CAN MAKE YOU RICH. I love it because it is a set-it-and-forget-it system. Once your books are up, you do not have to do anything again. Amazon will publish it, market it and send you your monthly payments for life and I really mean for life. The books I put up in 2012 are still generating sales up till today.

I uploaded my first book middle of June 2012 and another one a week later. My sales that month were $151 in the USA marketplace and £9 in UK and I have not stopped since. Now I have close to 30 books in the system. They would have been more but there were some challenges on the way – all of which we have overcome as of now. (By the way I had 11 Adsense websites up till 2012 but I had to let the hosting expire because I discovered KDP).

I have books that sold more than 400 copies in one month (at $2+ profit per sale) and some that only sold a few. However, it has been an interesting journey and we are still going on. I started by doing most of the work by myself but later moved into outsourcing.

I have searched on Nairaland and I am surprised that people are not talking about Kindle publishing. If you have been struggling to make some cash online, this may be the thing that will give you your first taste of success.

Kindle publishing is completely legal, you will use your real names, no changing of IP address and your money will be sent to you here in Nigeria.

If you are ready to do the work and get good books into the KDP system, the rewards are truly tremendous. I sleep and wake up to check the number of people that have bought my books in countries I have never been to.


UPDATE: 7:58 pm 31/10/13

QUICK TIPS
One thing I like about Kindle Publishing is that no one can swindle you – no apologies to our so called Naija information marketers.

I am going to make a few more points before we continue. If I get a lot of responses on this thread, we are going to have an interesting journey together.

1) Get Ready To Do Some Work. Kindle publishing is not for people who are not ready to work. If you do not have money to outsource the books, you must be ready to research, write, format, design covers and upload all by yourself. Even if you have the cash of outsourcing, you must cross-check every material carefully before uploading to KDP.

2) Be Patient. You can make some good money with your first book but it is not always so. I usually advice beginners to go for 5 books at the start. The internet marketing world is filled with people who want to make $1000 overnight. No matter how good the system you are using is, time is needed to perfect your skills and make the system work for you. At the end of the day the rewards will be tremendous.

3) Don’t Cut Corners. In the IM world, we have what we call White hat, Grey hat and Black hat. I am happy to tell you that KDP is totally WHITE HAT. You cannot cut any corners. If you mess with them by trying to upload stolen materials, you will be banned (Some of you may remember the Adsense Domain Mass banning). Of course, they will give you the chance to defend yourself but since you will not have any proof, your account may be suspended.

PS- You don’t need to play any tricks with KDP. If you do it right, you will be greatly rewarded. There are many stories I can tell you. There was a particular book I uploaded around September 2012. It was selling the normal 30 to 40 copies per month. Suddenly in December, the sales picked up and it continued up till March this year with the lowest month bringing in about 259 sales.

4) Your Income Is Guaranteed. Once your book is uploaded, you will continue to get paid as long as it sells. All the work you will do is at the beginning then you continue to have recurrent income.

5) You Do Not Have To Do Any Marketing. I have books in various genres and no external marketing has been done on them. Nothing like Twitter, Facebook, blogging bla bla bla. Everything you need is inside the Amazon system.

6) Starting Is the Hardest Part – Once you understand the system, you can be uploading as many books as you like per week or per month. One of the people that started with me has over 50 books already and all his income comes from Amazon (here in Nigeria). Imagine 50 books making just 10 sales each per month. If your profit is $2 per book, that is $1000/month. The more books you upload, the more money you will make. One of my American friends has over 100 books in his account and he’s presently building up his wife’s account to the same number.

THE BASICS OF KINDLE DIRECT PUBLISHING

Step 1. Register
Go over to kdp.amazondotcom (replace dot with .) and open an account. This first step is necessary so you can commit yourself to the project.
-Use an email that you open frequently because they will communicate with you.
-Use your real names, real Nigerian address and other relevant details.

Step 2. Research
Research is one of the crucial aspects of success with Kindle Direct Publishing
Go to Google and enter Amazon Bestsellers in the search box. Click on the Amazon bestseller result to go to Amazon.
Once you are there, click on the kindle category, then kindle eBooks and start searching for books that are selling.
There are other research methods but this is my favorite.

Step 3. Write Or Outsource The Content
Get materials and write quality content for your books. The content must be original or your book will not be published. Ensure you proofread properly. Kindle readers will kill you with bad reviews if there are a lot of errors.

Step 4. Design A Cover
Just check other books in the category you chose and make a similar cover.

Step 5. Format The Book Properly
Formatting is another aspect that can easily mar your work. In fact some people are offering this service online and they are making a lot of money from it. You need to know the right way to format so the book will work well on different types of mobile devices apart from the Kindle Reader. Amazon provides extensive information on this topic.

Step 6. Write A Good Description

This is self explanatory. Your description could be two or three paragraphs or more. This is what will represent your sales page so you need to do it well.

Step 7. Upload Your Book To KDP

At This Point I Will Need Questions So We Can Continue.
This is just a 5% summary of what it takes to make it in Kindle.
If you are following this thread, you can start your own Kindle journey immediately and I’ll assist as much as I can. If you just want to “gist”, I will not have much time for you

ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING

I am located in Lagos
Contact 247article@gmail.com
My phone number will be given to those who are ready.


UPDATE 4 30/06/2015
ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING MODIFICATION

After due consideration I have decided to stop the one-on-one training officially by the end of this month (June 30 2015). It is creating too much work for me. I now have many people that I have to follow up and give support to and I want to conserve my resources.

Anyone who comes after this month will have to pay at least N50,000 to make it worthwhile for me. Price for the DVD of materials is also raised to N20,000 for the same reason because I provide the same support to those who order only the DVD.

I will still continue to answer your questions on this thread and through email as much as I can.

Thank you.

I feel somehow sad/bad to read this post again at this time. The reason is because I was suppose to have a good number of books on Amazon by now and probably making some good money. But somehow, I failed to do so and I have to start all over again. The very week that I was suppose to republish my first book last year after it was rejected for plagiarism issue, my laptop was stolen!

I was like; what, why now? That single challenge affected me so much that I was not able to continue with the Kindle journey any more. But I have continue to follow this thread till date and now I want to stage a come back. This time around, I want to belief that nothing can stop me. Before this Month of July runs out, my first book will go live of Amozon.

You have always supported me especially when I had that coppyscape's challenge last year.
I will still need your support this time should I encounter an issue.

I want to specially thank you for this opportunity you give to us.

You are a good man.

God will continue to bless you, and that He will bless you forever!

Welcome back and thanks for your prayer. This time, be determined and don't let anything stop you. If you can publish at least 2 quality books every month, your account will soon be giving you good money.

The tax does not apply to you because you are non-US citizen. As a result, such tax information is not necessary of you.
