The Most Common Mistakes You Must Avoid As An Amazon Kindle Direct Publisher. by Progresswike03: 10:41pm On Nov 02, 2023
Today, I want to talk about the top 4 most common self-publishing mistakes you should avoid.

🔰Poor Book Description

Book description is another aspect most self-published authors overlook.

It can make or break 💔 your success 😉 on Amazon Kdp.

My simple formula to your success on Amazon Kdp.

TRAFFIC 🚦+ CONVERSION

Your book description is required to convert your ideal reader or target 🎯 audience to click the buy button 🔘.

It’s a great chance for you to take hold of the attention of potential readers. It’s your only chance to convince a reader to click and buy the book.

Most people don’t read book descriptions, they scan. Avoid making the mistake of pulling blocks of text from the back of your book without using any spacing, bullets or bolding to highlight the text. Spend some time to work on your description, make it more visually appealing and error free to increase your chances of converting your ideal reader to buy your book 📚📚📚📚.

🔰 Outrageous 😳😳 book Pricing

One of the best parts of being a self-publisher is that no one is the boss of you.
You have the flexibility and control over your books.

Unlike traditionally published authors, you’re free to decide how much you want to sell and how much you want to make from each book.

But don’t get too caught up 🤫🤫with the pricing strategy.


Many self-publishers make the mistake of either overpricing or underpricing their books.

Wondering why your book isn’t selling even though you have a killer and attractive book cover and title?

Then, you may want to look at how you price your book.

Keep in mind, you need to have a plan for your book pricing.

Do some quick research on your competitors. Make sure your book is priced properly and aligns with others in the same niche.

Keep in mind, you need to have a plan for your book pricing.

🔰 Giving up too early

I have seen success likewise I have seen failure in this self publishing business. There are times my books become successful and other times it makes no headway.

At times the book I strongly believe will hit the best seller list after sleepless night 😴😴, hardwork, and dedication makes less than $10 a month 🤣😂. How funny 🤣 it is..

I used to think 🤔 haha!! 😂 this business is not for the weak ooo..


Don’t stop publishing the next after your first book is live! Even though your first book is doing well or not, you can’t achieve sustainable publishing business with just one bestselling book.
You should start working on the next book immediately once you hit the publish button.

If your first book doesn’t do well, don’t give up. You have to publish more.

The success is a blend of more quality and quantity books on your bookshelf.

♻️ Keep trying, keep testing, keep learning, and keep publishing. And it doesn’t add up, it multiplies.

🔱When you learn a new thing, when you find a success formula, you connect it to all the things you learned before. Plus, you can improve on your published books- modify, change the cover, write better description, and republish.

Remember, the harder 💪 you work, the luckier you get.

🔰 Poor formatting and editing

Who will buy an unprofessional edited book.

If there are a lot of misspellings, grammatical errors and typos, readers will give your book a bad review. And it will definitely affect your book ranking and sales. There is no way to remove the bad reviews, even if you’ve made changes and corrections on your book.

💫You can use Grammarly to proofread, detect grammar mistakes and errors.

💫Hemingway Apps is another great tool to review your draft and make your writing clear.

🔰 Prowriting aid is also a powerful software to make a professional looking manuscript.

These and not only limited to the above points are the most common mistakes many self publishers overlook.

Great 😃 you read these Post to the end.

Hope you love 😘 it and gain value from it.
