Time will come when you realize that you are too tired of writing blogs for your website, and you want to come to the next level of writing—which is writing an eBook. During these times, you might get too excited of finally being able to start on a project that may leave legacy in the future. On the other hand, you might also feel as if you are not good enough to actually make one. Now, during these instances, it is nice to be guided with the fact that everyone can write an eBook, even the newbie and the non-writers.

If you need some more reasons to finally start on your eBook project, CopyBlogger have exactly what you are looking for:

  • It’s time to prove your authority. You have an incredible, life-changing idea? You won’t find a better time for your words to spread like wildfire to inspire and empower, if executed correctly.

  • eReaders nearly doubled from December 2011 to January 2012. 1 in 4 Americans are now using some kind of tablet (iPad, Nook, Kindle) that is capable of reading eBooks (The Kindle reading app is also available on nearly every smartphone, more on this below).

  • If you already have an established platform — or want to build one — this eBook will fortify all your other online marketing efforts.

At this point, you may ask: why Amazon? Well, there are several reasons to support why you want to go for Amazon above other platforms. For one, Amazon is the biggest paid search engine there is on the web. Come to think about it, people who go to Amazon are ready to get their credit cards out to purchase something. Also, Amazon is the giant when it comes to book markets. Others would agree that Amazon is a marketing machine because it works in a beautiful manner that if you start selling copies, your book will be referred to other users. The best thing is, using Amazon is very easy that you can start selling your eBook within minutes!

So once you are ready to write your book, here are the steps you need to do:

Sign Up for an Account

Look at the bottom screens of Amazon’s homepage and click “independently publish with us”. Then, you will be directed to how you can publish on Kindle.

Have your own Publishing Account

In order to make one; you need to create your personal Amazon account. Be ready with your details as you will be likely asked to provide additional information, including your bank information. This is needed since Amazon will have to wire your royalties to your account.

Enter the Book Details

Once you are ready to publish, you will be asked first to provide your book details, like the title, book type, authorship, pricing, and a lot more. The best thing is that you do not have to own an ISBN code in order to publish in Amazon.

Pick your Category

Now, you pick your category. It is normal for Amazon to encourage their users to pick up to two categories. With lots of categories to choose from, you will be able to find one that truly speaks about your book.

Upload the Cover

Although this is not required but you still would want to add one to your eBook. Amazon offers some guidelines when uploading cover images and the site also offers some tools to help you create one. But if you are not an artist, it is highly recommended that you simply ask the help of someone to do the cover for you. Try looking for people who you can outsource the job at a reasonable price.

Choose your price

Amazon allows you to set any amount that you think is worthy for your book. On the other hand, there are 2 royalty options that you want to consider: 35% and the 70%. Among the two, you surely would want the 70% option.
