10 Steps to Kindle publishing

Step 1

Start thinking a new and innovative idea. Have a look on existing e-books and e-libraries and see what customers are looking for. Users are always looking for something new and useful book. Expand your knowledge by visiting websites Wikipedia and learn more on the topic you like.

And finally, start writing the book. It may contain 100 pages or more – based on the topic.

Step 2

Formatting your manuscript for Kindle devices: You may write you book on MS-Word or any other word processor. But be sure to format your manuscript as per Kindle rules. It’s not complex. But you should know it. I suggest you to download and read free e-book on that from http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007URVZJ6

I managed to read that book online on Amazon Cloud Reader.

Step 3

Obtaining a Kindle book cover: This is the first shot of your book. If it is attractive, one will surely click on your book details to know more. There are 2 ways to make your kindle book cover. a) Hire some professional b) If you don’t have a cover for your book, you can use the KDP Cover Creator to make one based on an image you provide or a selection from our gallery of stock images, customizable with a variety of different layouts and font sets.

Step 4

Copyrighting your manuscript: If you wish to copyright through the US copyright office, the instructions are at:
http://www.copyright.gov/ The fee is $45.00

If you check on google, you will also find other ways of copyrighting your material.



 

Step 5

Obtaining an ISBN: You can order an ISBN (and bar code) for your Kindle books online at https://www.myidentifiers.com/. You’ll be asked to enter or upload various information like a copy of the e-book and cover, a description, pricing, rights and your contact information.

Step 6

Writing a catchy book description: The description is very important as users will surely read it before they make any decision. The description should not be very large and must be written in to-the point to attract customers.

Step 7

Setting pricing: One important thing to know here. Many famous books on Kindle are priced at $0.99 and millions are buying them at that price. You are free to set any price of your book but keep the trend in your mind. Secondly, visit the kindle store and look at the prices of other books under your category.

Step 8

Setting royalty: You’ve 2 options to set your royalty of book – 35% or 70%. If you select the 35 percent royalty option, your royalty will be 35 percent of your list price for each unit sold. If you select the 70 percent royalty option, your royalty will be 70 percent of the list price (but if we sell at a lower price to match a competitor’s price for a digital or physical edition of the book or our price for a physical edition of the book, you will receive 70 percent of our sale price) for each book sold to customers in the Available Sales Territories, net delivery costs, and 35 percent of the list price for each unit sold to other customers.

Step 9

Publishing on Kindle: Just long in to https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A37Z49E2DDQPP3 and follow the instructions on screen. You just need to enter few information and upload your book.

Step 10

Marketing your Kindle book: This step needs your more time and patience. You can create author page at https://authorcentral.amazon.com/gp/landing?ie=UTF8&ref_=ntt_atc_dp_pel_1 to give information about yourself online to others. Make separate Facebook page for e-book and start tweeting on twitter. Spread info on other social media sites also. Inform all your friends, relatives and colleagues about your work and ask for honest feedback and suggestions.

Don’t stop your creativity on just one book. Repeat your success by writing more and more books. Give a variety to your visitors. You never know which book will become word’s best selling book.
