Ebook writing mastery

Millions of Kindle e-readers are being sold every year, and the numbers keep climbing. Not only that, but the Kindle marketplace has rapidly been expanding all over the world. In fact, Amazon recently infiltrated the Australian market with Kindle on November 13, With all of this being said, can you imagine the opportunity that you have by publishing a Kindle book to get in front of all of these people? I think we can now agree that the demand for Kindle books is massive and growing everyday.

While thousands of Kindle book are being published every month on Amazon, you shouldn't be worried. The reason why there is little concern is simply because there is NO WAY that publishers can publish too many books that the market becomes saturated — the market is simply too big. As Amazon grows, so does the opportunity for making money publishing Kindle books on Amazon. There are literally thousands of potential niches available to publish Kindle books in, many of which have very low competition.

In fact, most niches in Amazon only have a couple hundred or couple thousand competing books in them. While this might sound like a lot, it isn't much when you can see the thousands of searches these niches get every single day.

The bottom line is, if you know how to effectively market and rank your Kindle book, you will NEVER have to worry about competition as you can always get to the top. With Google, despite there being millions of competing websites, if you know how to effectively rank your website through search engine optimization then you can always get to the top of the search results. Most Kindle publishers have no idea what they're doing — they have no idea how to market their book.

By knowing how to market and rank your Kindle book, you have an edge over your competition and will never have to worry about them. It's your option. Then once you've selected that, you're going to want to upload your book to KDP by clicking browse. You're going to want to find your book file that's already been formatted for Kindle.

Kindle requires special formatting for it to show up properly on their e-readers and their devices. You can learn a little bit more about their content guidelines here and how to format. I typically always outsource the formatting. I hire other people to do that for me or I use one of the templates that I have that just really make it easy. For example, I have a template that I offered to my members of Mastering Book Publishing which is already pre-formatted for Kindle.

This is a great template that you can actually send to your book writers and they can basically just fill in the content and write a book for you. If you want to outsource your book and you don't want to write your book yourself, that is something that I teach inside my Mastering Book Publishing program. Or if you already have a book that you can use a template like this.

It's already formatted. I either use Microsoft Word or Pages for Mac to format. I also show exactly how to do that as well. If you have your book already ready to go, then just browse for the book file and upload it right here and you'll be able to preview the book to make sure it looks the right way that you want before you publish it.

Once your book has been uploaded, it will say upload and conversion successful. This book has zero possible errors which are great. It will then give you the ability to preview your book to make sure that it looks the way that you want before you publish it and it is important to make sure that your book is primarily formatted because you want your customers to have a positive experience. If someone buys your book and it's unreadable or doesn't look good, then that can lead to a refund or a negative review.

You always want to preview the book and make sure that you're happy with the formatting. Then once you've done that, then click on save and continue. There's this one more step before you publish it and becomes live on Amazon. You can actually choose whether you want your book to be available worldwide meaning that anyone can buy your book anywhere in the world.

Or if he's want to target individual territories. I always just target worldwide. Coming down here, you can select the pricing and the royalty for your book, so there are two different royalty options. That's the primary price point that KDP wants you to sell your book at.

Typically, there's different methods and strategies when you launch your book, but what I teach inside Mastering Book Publishing is to launch your book in 99 cents first. The reason for that is when you first launch your book, you want to get a lot of sales. You want to be able to get reviews.

You need to be able to promote your book. I have a certain method that I teach inside my course over the first two weeks to be able to effectively promote your book so that you can rank it highly on Amazon. There's different methods and strategies that I teach when it comes to that. It's important to make sure you do this the right way right from the start. If you do a poor book launch and your book, it doesn't get much traction when you launch it, then it's an uphill battle.

It's going to be very hard for you to revive that book and start ranking it effectively on Amazon. You want to make sure that you launch it the right way right from the start.

Again, that's the method that I teach inside Mastering Book Publishing. You can select whatever price you want for the book. It's then automatically going to calculate the delivery cost, the estimated royalty that you're going to make for the book.

If you sell it 2. You can set the price for the UK, Germany, France, Spain, all the other Amazon stores that are available and have your book available on those as well, so you can make some additional money from all those other platforms. Coming down here, you can enroll the book in Kindle MatchBook.

That's only if you have a paperback version of the book as well. If you have a paperback version, let's say on CreateSpace, you can enroll MatchBook which basically means you can offer a discount if they buy both the Kindle and paperback version. You can also select the Kindle book lending library. You can actually get paid if people lend your book to people as well. Once you're happy with everything, you filled in all the information, you're happy with everything that you put in.

You're going to want to click here to agree to the terms and make sure that you read and understand KDP's terms and conditions. When your book is ready, click on save and publish and then that's it. Within 24 or 48 hours, your book will then be live on Amazon ready for sale. KDP will send you an email to notify you when your book is live. Then at that point, your book can start generating you money, passive income. Like I said before, once you publish your book, your work isn't quite done yet.

You can't just publish your book and expect that it's going to start selling and people are going to start buying it and it's going to out compete and outrank all the other books on Amazon.

Quite frankly, publishing is the easy part. Anybody can do it. I just showed you how to do it in a couple minutes in this video. Marketing your book, promoting it, out-ranking and getting reviews. Profiting from your book. Those are the real skills that you need to learn and master as a publisher and as a marketer because that's really what's going to separate you from all the other books on Amazon. Being able to stand out, but also being able to effectively market and promote your book.

That's exactly what I teach inside my Mastering Book Publishing program. If you really want to take things to the next level and be able to compete with all the other books on Amazon and outrank them and out-compete them and have an edge and advantage that other publishers don't have, then check out my program below.
