Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing is a program that has brought a smile of fortune to thousands of people. Those who used to be ordinary writers have later ascended their throne of published authors. EL James of Fifty Shades of Grey is only one of many who succeeded earning millions of dollars per month from publishing on Amazon.
You may have thought that many Kindle authors do not earn that much, but there are just more who have succeeded. In 2012, a survey had been made by author Brenda Hiatt toward 60 Kindle novelists. She found that they earned nearly $13,000 in the year.
If you want to follow their footsteps, here are five helpful secrets to try.
1. If you have expertise, Publishing Nonfiction is Preferable
Your expertise is a money maker. People always seek informative eBooks on various topics. They would spend money on such. Writing the concise ones may sell well.
2. If you love telling stories, Publishing Fiction is recommended
Most of the Top 100 Paid eBooks on Kindle are fictions. If you are good at telling stories, write short stories, novels, or so. You need not be a great writer as readers just want entertainment. So long as your stories are attractive, people will read them. Learn some Kindle fiction will be helpful before you make a start on your own writing. You can search Amazon for free titles to get free access.
3. Plan Your EBook Completion
Organize your own schedule. Determine the time allotment you need to finish writing. If it is necessary, arrange a daily writing target.
When writing nonfiction, draw a simple outline before you start. When writing a novel, simply write a one-page summary of your story.
4. Find an Editor
As an author, you need an editor to help you proofread your work objectively. Find someone who can tell you if your book makes sense and is usable if you are writing nonfiction. If you are writing fiction, he will help you make your story entertaining for the reader. He will help you to reshape your plot, develop your characters, and pace your scenes.
However, do not find an editor before your book is complete. Do it when you are sure that your book is as good as you can make it, and you're ready to publish. Once you are certain to have completed your eBook, hire an editor.
5. Invest in a Great Cover
Formerly, readers did not really care about home-made covers. Today they do. Make an eye-catching cover for your eBook. It is important to catch the readers’ attention. For instance, an author used to sell 20 eBooks per month. When she decided to add a new cover, her eBook started selling up to 70 copies per day.
What a big chance and a great fun Kindle self-publishing bring you. These steps to writing eBook must help you unlock the door to success in Kindle publishing. No doubt!
