After your have mastered the fundamentals of writing and publishing through these short stories, you can then start writing and publishing full novels.

You do not have to wait to finish your full length novel before you launch your eBook publishing career through Amazon KDP. In fact, it is a good marketing strategy to write and publish at least three short stories in three different genres to test the water and see which of the genres performed best for you.

You can then focus your full length novels in that genre and maximize your output. So, go ahead now and test the waters!
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 7:05am On Jun 20, 2022
It will interests you to know that publishing your titles as eBooks or paperback book through Amazon KDP do not require you to buy ISBN catalog numbers has Amazon will assign it their own ASIN catalog numbers for free during the publishing process.

Also note that the assigned ASIN catalog number does not in anyway contest the copyright of your book. You own the copyright of your titles 100%.

As an independent author, writing a series book remains one of the best marketing strategies ever devised in the publishing industry! So, creatively apply this strategy to your publishing endeavors.
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 4:44pm On Jul 05, 2022
You might want to know the best digital book publishing platforms you can use to publish and distribute your books. The four most common ones are:

1. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing
2. PublishDrive
3. StreetLib
4. Draft2Digital

Note that Amazon is the leader of the digital book publishing industry with over 60% of the publishing market share. The other 3 are Aggregators which you can use to publish and distribute your books to smaller eBook stores like Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iBook, Tolino etc. Although Smashwords also have its own in-house store.
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 5:51pm On Jul 07, 2022
Being a writer is a source of joy and creativity just like being a published author is a source of fulfilment and pride. But in all, being an author whose books are selling is the climax.

Thanks to digital publishing platforms like Amazon the Largest digital publishing platform and others such as StreetLib, Lulu, PublishDrive, an author can now easily monetize his/her craft. The following are five tips that will enable a Nigerian writer/author get the best in publishing on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) or any other digital publishing platform.

1. Write books that has the Potential of Selling: This is the most important factor. Ask yourself the question "Will I be willing to put my money on this book if it were written by another author?" Your answer to this question will help you to have a realistic value/potential of the book. If the book has information or entertainment value that will make you buy it, then others can too.

2. Properly edit and Proofread it: This will further enhance it value and chances of success.

3. Set a right and reasonable Price for it: qualify the book to know what price to set it at. Don't be greedy by thinking that you are targeting westerners and hence you have to prize high. Those people are as careful in spending as you do. To qualify it, compare it with similar books by other successful author in your genre.

4. Properly format the content to Amazon KDP standard and design a professional cover for it: These two components are the packaging aspects of the book product. And you know the importance of packaging in sales conversion.

5. Promotion/Marketing: This is also very important. But as a newly published author, you can successfully use Facebook book groups to great advantage in marketing your books for free. Also, once you have made enough sales, you can reinvest it into the business by making use of Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) to promote your books.
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 7:20am On Jul 10, 2022
As a writer who is about to publish your first book , it is always better to publish it exclusively through Amazon for greater visibility through its Kindle Select Program.
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 7:29pm On Jul 14, 2022
There is one great secret to being a good and successful author. This secret has to do with the following:
1. Having a good knowledge of the genre you write.
2. You need to know the expectations of readers of that genre.
3. Know the plot styles of successful books in that genre.
4. Know the cover design that appeals more to readers of the genre.

To be able to get a first hand knowledge of these important factors, find out who are the best selling authors in that genre on Amazon! Get and read at least five books by these authors. Learn their approach to all the factors listed earlier and then create your own writing style from what you learned from these authors books.

If you do this well, your writing will be good, top notch, and meet the expectations of readers of the genre and hence you will get sales and good following early enough.[color=#000099][/color]

Never make the mistake of thinking that if you published only one book through Amazon KDP, you are going to make a lot of dollars with it. This is because if you have such mentality, you will easily see a reason to chicken out!

Rather, have it in mind that it is a game of numbers, hardwork and time! Once you are able to discover the genre that gives you the best results, and you focused on it, in no time and with five or more books, you will be surprised at the outcome you will be getting.
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 12:15pm On Aug 08, 2022
If you don't want to publish your books exclusively on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, then you can use PublishDrive or StreeLib or Lulu to go wide with them that is to get them distributed to iBooks, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Scribd, etc.
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 10:10am On Aug 20, 2022
It will interest you to know that if you are currently working on any book which you intend to publish through Amazon KDP, it will be advisable to publish it early January or in February. This is because there will be a lot of new Kindle users (those you just got their first Kindle) and hence there will be good chance of sales for even new authors as these set of buyers are more likely to try books from new authors.

Never access your Amazon KDP account through a public computer like in a cyber cafe.

It is better you use your personal devices like a smart phone or computer. This is because if Amazon system traced more than one KDP accounts to a particular device, it will be assumed that an individual is operating more than one publishing account which is against Amazon KDP's terms of service and such accounts will all be terminated.

As a Nigerian writer/author who wants to publish books through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, you must write books that appeals to global audience and not local or Nigerian audience! This is because the target markets out there on Amazon are predominantly the Americans, Europeans, and Asians.

Also make sure you publish your books in the three available formats i.e Kindle ebook, paperback book and Hardcover book.

There are some important things you have to do before hitting the publish button to ensure a successful launch of your new book. Here are some of these things:

1. Research the best fit categories for the book.

2. Research and gather good and appropriate keywords for the book.

3. Launch the book by using promo sites that do not require review and book them to promote the book on the first few days after hitting the publish button.

4. You can also do the book launching by posting its links into as many Facebook book groups as possible.

Writers finds inspiration in different ways. So,
what inspired the concept behind your latest book?
Re: Proofreading Reading Services by Stevenbright(m): 5:08pm On Dec 19, 2022
One of the best success strategies of independent authors is "writing to market" that is writing in a genre or subgenre that is currently selling very well and not just writing what you love to write about. To find out these genre, study Amazon "best seller" lists.
