10 Tips for Publishing an eBook on Amazon

Last month, I self-published my first Amazon Kindle eBook! I can’t tell you how exciting it is to be able to sell my latest ebook on Amazon and see the positive reviews start to tumble in.
I have to admit, I was a little scared and there were many unknowns throughout the process. I kept wondering things like:
  • How was I going to get a cover?
  • How long should it be?
  • When should I announce it?
  • How much was this going to cost me?
  • Am I going to make any sales?
I’m going to share a bit of my story, how my ebook is doing, and advice that I have for other first-time Kindle authors.

1. Write about a topic that has “demand.”

A writers writes for himself. An author writes for an audience. You have to keep this simple distinction in mind as you begin to write your ebook.
Whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, this book must have an audience out there that is interested in this type of content/story OR is looking to learn more about the book’s core topic.
I run the blog, CrowdCrux.com, and because I’ve been blogging for several years, I’m quite aware of the demand out there for different topics or verticals. Going in, I knew that there was an audience for this ebook.
While I wasn’t sure whether or not readers in the Amazon marketplace would be interested, I did know that my existing readers would be interested in the ebook.

2. Pick your writing software and writing schedule

I used to think that there was something sexy about writing. You’d sit in the dark corner of a cafe, take out your leather journal and fountain pen, and the words would just come to you.
This is quite simply not true. There’s nothing sexy about writing. Just like every other activity, like going to the gym or working on a website, you need to set a schedule that you’ll stick to each day.
My co-author and I set out the habit to write 1,500-2,000 words with each session. We wrote the initial drafts in Microsoft word and then copied them into iBooks Author to add formatting and structure.
ebook cover
The reason that I chose iBooks Author was because I thought I might want to offer the guide as a PDF in the future and wanted it to look pretty. I also used iBooks author for two of the other ebooks I’ve written that I sell on my website.
Our goal was to write an ebook between 13,000 – 15,000 words. We didn’t want to add any fluff and wanted to keep the content actionable and practical. It’s meant to be a starter guide. Something that you can breeze through and get a quick and clear understanding of the topic. 

3. Create the cover image

For many of you out there, this is probably going to be the most “uncertain” part of putting together the ebook, but really, it’s quite simple.
For my cover image, I used a photo editing software called Pixlr along with a website where I could find free images, called Pixabay. But, that’s because I have some graphic design experience.
If you don’t have any graphic design experience, I would look into:
Kindle also has a cover design creator, which you can use to make your ebook cover.
I wouldn’t recommend putting together the cover until you’ve done some research in your Amazon marketplace category. Remember, the goal isn’t just to create a good-looking cover, but it’s to make one that will stand out among all of the other ebooks for sale.

4. Craft a pre-launch strategy and Timeline

Okay, keep in mind that this is my first Kindle ebook. I’m probably going to look back on my results and laugh in the future. This is the timeline that I had for my ebook.
10/15/15 – Created outline
11/16/16 – First chapter done
3/13/16 – Last chapter done
3/16/16 – Made available for pre-order
3/31/2016 – Published
This came out to be a total time of 5 months and 17 days, or 169 total days. Ideally, I’d like to get this down to 3 months for the next ebook I do. 
When I made the ebook available for pre-order, I sent out two emails. One went to a list that was dedicated to the specific topic that my ebook was about. The other email went out to my separate general email list.
I would highly recommend making your ebook available for pre-order for two weeks before it comes out, like I did. While you’re in the writing stage, I’d also set up a lead capture, using LeadPages or another software tool. You’ll be able to market to this email list once the ebook comes out.
If you DON’T have a website for your book or yourself, get one! You can easily set up a website using SquareSpace or WordPress. I’d also recommend looking into these marketing tools.

5. Set realistic sales expectations

Your sales are going to vary from category to category and will vary drastically depending on whether you’re writing a fiction or non-fiction book. I’ll be sharing my sales data below to give you an idea of what I experienced.
In the first month, I sold 77 books, with a total royalty payment of $245.56.
royalty
I also put together this chart just to underscore the impact that the pre-order had on sales for the month. The red in the chart below represents pre-order sales.
preorder
This was pretty much in line with my expectations. Based on the growth I’ve seen in the past month, I am expecting to continue to see sales into the future for the book. My goal isn’t to make money with this ebook, but rather to get the word out there about this topic and learn more about how Amazon works.

6. Consider separating your book domain from your main domain

I was considering simply having a page on my main website which was dedicated to this Kindle ebook, but instead, I decided to set up a whole new domain all together calledRealEstateCrowdfundingExplained.com.
re crowdfunding
There are a few reasons I decided to do this.
  1. I’ll be able to measure traffic more easily and customize the user experience.
  2. It’s easier to reference in podcasts and channels.
  3. Since the topic I’m writing about is a subsection of my overall brand, I’ll be able to use this domain to really curate the content so that visitors are only seeing the podcasts or articles that they want to see.
Setting up this website was extremely low cost. I used a free wordpress theme and the website is hosted on Bluehost.
If you’re having trouble finding good WordPress themes, check out this great marketplace of different professional looking sites.
I also installed google analytics on the website. The analytics for the previous month aren’t that impressive, but here they are.

7. Make a physical copy available

Obviously, whether or not you should make a physical copy available for sale on Amazon is going to vary from author to author. Personally, I wanted to figure out how to do it and give readers that option.
I used CreateSpace to design the physical copy. CreateSpace is a self-publishing print-on-demand service and is owned by Amazon. You just upload the text for your book, upload your cover, set the price, and order a proof copy!
Here’s what my copy looked like when it arrived.
physical copy book createspace
Pretty neat huh? I was jumping up and down. It’s really exciting to see something that you created actually exist in the world.
Even if you don’t intend to offer a physical copy for sale, I think that CreateSpace is a great way to make some free copies that you can hand out events to get the word out about your ebook.

9. Always be promoting

If there’s one thing I learned from helping thousands and thousands of creators launch crowdfunding campaigns, it’s that you can never rely on a platform to promote you.
Yes, it would be AMAZING if I started to rank well in Amazon’s algorithm and begin to get lots of readers from the platform. However, I’m not counting on it.
My own marketing is directly going to impact the sales I see in the coming months, which is why I created a dedicated website for the book and will continue to promote it on relevant blog posts and podcast episodes.
This includes:
  • Guest posting and going on other people’s podcasts
  • Social media and newsletter promotion
  • Creating content around the book to get people interested in the topic.

10. Do it for the right reasons

Don’t just publish a book to make money. This is hard work people! You should only publish a book if you want to connect with readers and share your vision, voice, or knowledge with the world. The reward mainly comes in credibility, not income.
The other day, I was thinking a lot about this in my home, Brooklyn NY.
me
When you think about it, we’re only alive for a short time on this planet. Of all of the things I’ve done in life, the thing that has given me the most satisfaction has been uplifting hearts and minds. There is nothing better than having someone email me saying that their life was changed by my words, one of my podcasts, or hopefully, in the future, one of my YouTube videos.
Focus on the reader. What value are you providing to THEM? When you do that, everything else will fall into place!

Berapa sih nilai dari blog gue DALAM DOLLAR  ? http://richardnata.blogspot.com/2015/04/berapa-sih-nilai-dari-blog-gue-dalam.html


Need a professional writer? Fiction and non-fiction? contact richard.nata@yahoo.co.id
Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Nata. I am an author, novelist, blogger and ghost writer. My articles, including short stories have been published in magazines and newspapers since 1994. I have written a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction. So I was a professional in the field of writing, both fiction and non-fiction.

I was born in Jakarta, August 17, 1968.  

In 1988, at the age of 20 years, I started working as an accounting staff. Age 24 years has occupied the position of Finance Manager. Age 26 years as a General Manager.

In 1994, my articles published in magazines and tabloids.

In 1997, I wrote a book entitled "Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja". This book is reprinted as much as 8 times. Through the book, the authors successfully helped tens of thousands of people get jobs at once successful in their careers. They were also successful when moving to work in other places.

In 1998, I started investing in shares on Bursa Efek Indonesia (Indonesia stock exchange). As a result of investing in the stock market then I can provide consulting services for companies that want to go public in Indonesia stock exchange.

BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  



WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin, 

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.

Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.


P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 


many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
