Amazon Kindle Publishing – Who’s Participating?

Amazon is the world’s largest buyer search engine. Amazon’s traffic statistics are increasing every month with more and more people around the world purchasing digital e-books through Amazon Kindle. Why?

In this article I want to answer that question for you and offer you a real incentive to rethink what you are doing with your existing knowledge. This article will be a case study of sorts as I posted it on Kindle as an experiment and would like to share the results here in this article.

So normally the first objection that comes up when the subject of publishing on Kindle comes up is that nobody reads those things, they only target people with their own devices (Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, etc.)

Those are valid concerns and I know how you feel because I once thought about that too. Personally, I am an Apple fanatic and I constantly buy the newest Apple gadgets and I know how many others do the same, so when I first wanted to publish on Kindle I thought, “If I don’t read Kindle books, why would anyone else love Apple? “

That question led me to do some research on Kindle and Amazon’s partnership with Apple. I quickly found out that Amazon has been offering digital downloads on ALL Apple devices to make it quick and easy to read digital books downloaded through the KDP store right on your smartphone or device. I tried reading a book on my iPhone and iPad and even downloaded the Kindle Reader for my Macbook just to see how it works.

So what are the results?

Well, after reading a book on my Apple devices, I decided to see how far Kindle readers spread out, like on which devices they can read their favorite books …

What I found surprised me because there are almost no limitations for reading Amazon e-books. You can read them on Apple, Android, and PC. After finding out how popular Amazon books are, I had to post one and see if I could make some quick profits.

The only problem: I’m lazy and didn’t feel like writing a whole book. You identify?

If you like to write, I suggest that you write your own books for your personal enjoyment and satisfaction. Personally, I don’t enjoy writing that much, so I decided to outsource my book.

I had five “blog posts” written on a topic that I researched, how to get over your past relationships. I then compiled these five articles (about 1000 words each) into a Word document and went through everything. I did a few edits and then attached a conclusion, index, and action steps at the end.

Having action steps is always a good idea in practical information because it gives the reader direct steps to take action and increases the perceived value of the information.

So after I finished editing my Word document, I simply formatted the book for Amazon, paid $ 5 for a cover image, and then uploaded it to Amazon. That book now sells for $ 2.99 and when I first showed it to my family, they thought it was so amazing that I was an author. Pretty good, right?

Well, since then I have published more than 5 books that are passively sold on Amazon and they make me profit every month. It cost me next to nothing to go through this whole process because all I paid for was the outsourced content of the ebook. By the way, I think it’s noteworthy that I put together a detailed outline for the content that I gave the writer to make sure I get some valuable content that really helps people solve their problem.

So if you’re interested in publishing on Amazon, earning passive income, and becoming an author with relative ease, I suggest you do your homework like I did and you’ll be on the right track in no time. If you want to take a little shortcut, feel free to check out my resource box.
