How Does Kindle Publishing Work?
We can scale publishing quicker and build a lifestyle business, not necessarily a full-time job.
Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is an online platform allowing authors to publish and promote their fiction and non-fiction eBooks to the entire Amazon reader audience. So, any aspiring author can now self-publish their books directly on Amazon, avoiding the need to find an agent or a publishing contract.
It does take time to grow your income to a high level, but if you keep writing high-quality books, you’ll find an audience of readers waiting for them.
The Amazon Kindle not only transformed how people treat eBooks but has also created an entirely new way for aspiring authors to reach readers in a never-cable manner.
The Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) business model allows you to publish fiction or non-fiction books on the Amazon Kindle platform. You can write or outsource the book’s authoring to a professional ghostwriter.
You don’t need a website to start because Amazon provides you with an ‘Author Page,’ creating your book is as simple as writing it in Microsoft Word or another word processing program and uploading it to the KDP platform.
You must also upload a description of the book’s content and an image for your cover.
It allows you to bypass the accepted publishing model of sending your finished draft to a publishing agent, hoping that a traditional publisher might receive you.
Even if you get a publishing deal, there’s no guarantee you’ll earn money from your books when they appear on bookshelves.
Running your own Kindle publishing business means you can write a book and have it appear in the Kindle Store in under a week, depending on how hard you work, and start seeing sales within just a few days.
Another incredible way to expand your business is to publish your book on Create Space and ACX. If you create your Kindle book and then do both a Create Space version of your book and an Audio version (and why wouldn’t you?), you now have three sources of income from the one book you created.
So, I am sure it is entirely worth pursuing this way of making money for you and building a publishing business in the long run.
