Book on Amazon's Kindle Platform. I have returned from the fiery abyss of writing my first e. Book and uploading it on Kindle, and I bring you this message: It’s not that bad. But why write and publish an e. Book? If you’re an online marketer, entrepreneur, writer, blogger, or maybe a chef, what’s the point? Here’s what I’ve found: It’s time to prove your authority. You have an incredible, life- changing idea? You won’t find a better time for your words to spread like wildfire to inspire and empower, if executed correctly. Readers nearly doubled from December 2. January 2. 01. 2. 1 in 4 Americans are now using some kind of tablet (i. Pad, Nook, Kindle) that is capable of reading e. Books (The Kindle reading app is also available on nearly every smartphone, more on this below). If you already have an established platform — or want to build one — this e. Book will fortify all your other online marketing efforts. The opportunities to grow and expand your business or ideas through publishing an e. Book are limitless. With a insightful, compelling e. Book, your words can instill valuable wisdom, actions, stories and ideas that can build trust and relationships with your audience. If you follow the seven steps below, you’ll never have to read another article on publishing to Amazon’s Kindle platform ever again. Let’s get started …Step 1: Define your target audience. This is business and marketing 1. Without a target audience, an e. Book is useless. Without a target audience, you will not see an increase in subscribers, traffic, or any building of trust whatsoever. Ask yourself: Who is my target audience? What do they like? Feel? What will they learn? What am I offering them for their time? How can I make this e. Book build a relationship with my readers? Is it a character they fall in love with? A story? Are you motivating or inspiring them with ideas and examples? What is the main purpose? When Stephen King wrote, he wrote to his wife. When Steven Pressfield wrote The War of Art, he wrote to writers and creatives alike. When John Locke wrote How I Sold 1 Million e. Books in 5 Months, he wrote to most of the people reading this article right now. Before you even think about putting a letter on that blank page, stop and ask yourself:  Who am I writing to? Step 2: Do you have a platform? Writers have an obligation to their audience — to respond and listen to their feedback, to build a relationship, to keep them as readers forever. Why would anyone want to miss that opportunity? That’s why we have blogs and Twitter. Let me fix that: That’s why you should be publishing to your own blog and using Twitter. Your blog can benefit you and your e. Book in many ways: Your readers can find you, support you, and give feedback. You can build … and build … and build, to the point where you have thousands of subscribers waiting to read your next e. Book. You can continue the conversation. Say your e. Book was motivational and inspiring; you could provide blog posts on that topic and have your readers coming back for more. This can get big … it might even get fun. A blog is your portfolio: it has your work, your info, credibility — almost all of you. Coming from someone who used to be on the other side of the fence, it’s really wonderful how reader can now connect with author; it makes the entire experience feel … special. Now that your blog has a face and examples of your work, you can meet like- minded individuals; networking is fruitful and the lifeblood of growth. Guest posting for other blogs allows more visibility to your e. Book, or at least, your blog. From there, your newfound readers may be interested in your writing. Twitter is a great platform for your e. Book and yourself: Your readers can follow you; and you can respond to them. Find people with similar passions and interests. Hashtags help brand your e. Books; then, when fans click on the hashtag, they will see other people giving feedback about your e. Book and that may spark interest. Promote your e. Book amidst sending relevant, valuable tweets. You’re ultimately shorting yourself by not having either platform. It doesn’t matter what genre you write for, your audience needs a place to find you, get to know you, and stay updated. Just remember … don’t be a digital sharecropper. Step 3: Write your e. Book. You have your target audience in mind, and you have a blog and/or social media platform of some kind. Good. Do you want to know how I started my e. Book after I delayed it for a few months? I woke up one morning, opened Pages for Mac, typed the title that I had in mind, and wrote. That’s what you need to do. Just start. Whatever time you read this, just know that if you don’t start tomorrow morning (or whenever you are comfortable writing), then you will never write an e. Book. The easiest way to do this is either use Microsoft Word or Pages for Mac. Kindle suggests you write it in Word because if you decide to format this yourself, you must save your file to a filtered . Kindle very well.)A few things you will have to keep in mind when writing: Create a Table of Contents (TOC). Insert a page break when you’re finished with your chapter to eliminate unnecessary white space so your reader can immediately scroll to the next page. Finished with your TOC? Page break. Finished with your copyright page? Page break. (To insert a page break go to “Insert” at the top menu bar, then find “Page Break”). Do not use headers, footers, or any sexy font because it will not translate on the Kindle; they have standard fonts. Bold, italicize, and headings translate well. Images are allowed and should be inserted as . JPGs (more on formatting your e. Book below). Once you have finished writing the e. Book, start the formatting process. Step 4: Tools to download before formatting. You will need to download a few things to preview and format your e. Book. Kindle Tools & Resources. You will see four options: Kindle. Gen, Kindle Previewer, Kindle Plugin for Adobe In. Design, and the Kindle PC/MAC application. If you haven’t downloaded the app already — and you don’t have In. Design — you will need both Kindle. Gen and Previewer. Kindle. Gen is a program that will convert your saved file into a format used for the Previewer (. Previewer. With the Previewer, you get to preview your e. Book to ensure it’s formatted to your desire. When on the Previewer, you can go up to the top menu, and click the option to view your e. Book on the actual Kindle App (make sure it’s downloaded). Step 5: Formatting your e. Book. You have two ways to format: Do it yourself. Pay someone to do it. In order to format your own e. Book, you need a good understanding of HTML. Most people I spoke to about formatting their own e. Book said it was tedious, so here are some e. Book conversion services to think over if you wish to save yourself the hassle. I used 5. 2Novels, paid $1. Kindle formatting and an e. Pub format. The price will vary depending on service and the amount of words.)The final format of the e. Book should be a PRC. If you wish to format it yourself, use Kindle’s Simplified Guide to Formatting Your e. Book or Publishing for Mac Users. Step 6: Before you upload, think this over. By this step, you should have your e. Book finished, formatted, and ready to go. All you need to do is upload it, but before you do, you have two ways of uploading: Go the KDP Select route. Or don’t. What is KDP Select? Kindle Direct Publishing)When you enroll in this program, your e. Book is locked in for 9. During these 9. 0 days, you have 5 free promotional days to give your e. Book out for free. After those 5 free days, your e. Book will be back on the market for a price. During this 9. 0- day period, your e. Book will be available in the Kindle Owners’ Library. What is Kindle Owners’ Library? This option is exclusive to those who are Amazon Prime Members. Borrowing e. Books is only available on Kindle devices, not Kindle reading apps. Members of Amazon Prime can borrow a e. Book for free for a whole month with no due dates. When someone borrows your e. Book, you earn money. Note: Only e. Books enrolled in KDP Select will be available to Kindle Owners’ Library.)How is it calculated? For example, if the monthly fund amount is $5. KDP titles is 3. 00,0. Book was borrowed 1,5. If you don’t enroll to KDP Select. You can still upload your e. Book to Kindle, but it will not be in the Kindle Owners’ Library. If you enroll in KDP Select. First, lets get this out of the way: Your e. Book cannot be free on Kindle.(Note: You may have heard or seen a few titles that were free for a long time. Those publishers may have worked with a company that works with Amazon. For example: Seth Godin’s The Domino Project). It will be available for free for 5 days of your choosing when you enroll in their KDP Select program. Even if you do not enroll, you must have a price tag on it for a minimum of 9. But there’s more. If you decide to enroll in the KDP Select program, these are the restrictions Amazon places on your e. Book: It cannot be on your blog as a subscription or email newsletter opt- in bonus. No i. Books. No Nook. No PDF version with your specific formatting and sexy fonts. It cannot be distributed anywhere else for 9. Keyword:  Exclusive. You may, however, opt out of the KDP Select program before your 9. When you do opt out, and the 9. Book anywhere you like. Your e. Book will still be up on the Kindle market — you just won’t have all the promotional tools. If you do enroll, and stay opted- in, your 9. So you have a few things to think over …Not everyone has a Kindle. That’s true. But the Kindle App is free to download and is available on the following systems: Windows PCMaci. Phonei. Pad. Blackberry. Android. Windows 7 Phones. And, they have the Kindle Cloud Reader, which acts as an app but enables you to read e. Books on your browser: Safari, Mozilla, and Google Chrome. So is it possible to mix this pervasive and free app into your strategy for marketing your e. Book? Possibly. Step 7: Upload your e. Book. You made your choice.
