If you are thinking about whether to try making money with Kindle Books, I would like to say go for it. Anyone can do it. Basically, if you can write a blog post, you can put together a Kindle book.
This is one of the streams of income that I am working on at the moment. I write short books, fiction and non-fiction, upload them to Amazon and sit back, waiting for the income to roll in. Sort of.
Below I will explain the process that I go through in order to get my little book out there. After reading this, I hope that you feel inspired to try it for yourself. It is not that hard and you have nothing to lose.
How I Got My First Kindle Book Published
People have been making money with Kindle books for a few years now but I was only introduced to this way of earning a passive income last year. I know that I read about this on someone's blog (can't remember which one) and they made it sound so simple. I decided that I would give it a go.
If you are thinking about trying it, here are a few steps that will get that first book out in the public.
Think of Your First Book as an Extended Blog Post
...
... If you are worried about what sort of thing you could write about, do what I did. I wrote about something I knew about - me. Well, it is a subject that I could go on about for days and days.
Joking aside, I wrote about something that I did, which I felt could be of interest to others. I worked as a Summer Camp Counselor in America and I wrote about the experience. As this is an exercise in getting your first kindle book published write something that comes easy to you.
How Long Should a Kindle Book Be?
Now people will argue about how long a book should be. This will all depend on the topic area. The most important thing is for people to feel like they are getting their money's worth. If you are worried that your book will not be long enough, just set it at a lower price and state how many words it contains. Then customers will know exactly what they are getting before they click the Purchase Button.
Publishing My Very First Book on Amazon
My first book, Summer Camp Jobs - (How to Have the Best Summer Ever Working As a Camp Counsellor in America) is around 4,000 words. This is very short. It is, like I said, more of an extended blog post. But I mention in the Amazon sales page blurb that it is a short book and the price is low too in order to reflect this.
So once you have created your first extended blog post about a topic you know, get a book cover and upload it to the Amazon Kindle programme. Your book is available to the public and you are now a published author.
So Is It Possible to Make Money Writing kindle Books?
The question posed in the opening title was whether it is possible to make money writing books for kindle. The answer is a resounding yes. It is absolutely possible to make money writing books and publishing them using Amazon's digital platform. The next thing you will want to discover is just how much money can be made.
