Looking for a new way to get in front of potential book buyers? Try your hand at publishing a Kindle book. It’s one of the easiest ways to get your material published…fast!
I couldn’t believe how simple the process was from the very first attempt.
What’s great is you don’t need an ISBN to publish your Kindle version book. You can publish just about anything including:
- eBooks
- Reports
- Articles
- Blogs
- Books
- Transcripts
The fact is, if you can write it you can publish in Kindle.
There are a few reasons you would publish in Kindle. One, to be published. Two, to make money. Three, to build market reach and credibility. Four, to build your opt in list.
If you’ve been dreaming of being a published author and are not yet there, Kindle is a great first step. There is virtually nothing easier.
You don’t have to publish a full length book. Nope. You can publish information you have on your computer. It’s really that simple. So no more excuses.
Although you can make money with Kindle you likely won’t get rich. If getting rich is your main motivator you may want to rethink why you are publishing with Kindle. However, Kindle books can lead to other, more lucrative opportunities.
One of the best reasons to publish a Kindle book is for market reach and credibility. Yet, you can’t simply get your Kindle book up and expect sales to flood in. Any author who wants to get the most traction for your published works needs to be very proactive with marketing and promotions. There’s no way around this.
The more you market the more visibility you get. The more visibility the more sales. The more sales the more likely readers are to visit your blog and/or website. When you optimize your sites you are prepared for visitors with an opt-in opportunity.
Ignore setting your site up so visitors can opt-in for something and you miss lots of great opportunities. Make sure your site is ready for the traffic you generate.
As you can see Kindle books serve many purposes, the most important of which is to create high quality information for your readers. Create high quality information and you set yourself up for greater success.

You are so right Kathleen. I published my first Kindle ebook (The Seminar Marketing Formula) a few weeks ago and it was so easy. Can’t wait to publish my blog for Kindle, as well as some other ebooks.
Thanks so much. You motivated me to take action. Took just a moment to download the Kindle app to my computer. Your book that I just purchased was already there. This in a very small town in rural Washington State. Time to get my books into Kindle.
I have published a few reports, books, etc. on Kindle and I’m looking forward to publishing more. Some individuals do earn a reasonable monthly passive income from Kindle but they publish hundreds of titles.
You’re so right Nickolove. You can make some passive income and it does take volume. And thanks Daphne and Pat. I am sure you will enjoy the process as much as I did.
ps. Thanks for getting my Kindle book.
I agree that publishing on Kindle has many benefits! Shoppers on Amazon can find your ebook through keyword searches on the Kindle store, so it’s a great way to get noticed there.
I recently published my first Kindle ebook(How to Sell More Books on Amazon) and I was surprised at how easy the process was. I just uploaded a Word document that had been cleared of most formatting.
It’s also possible to sell subscriptions to your blog on the Kindle store. I have written a free 12-page tutorial about how to do that at http://bookmarketingmaven.typepad.com/PublishYourBlogonKindleTutorial.pdf
I encourage everyone to start selling in the Kindle store ASAP.

Glad to see you jumped on the Kindle bandwagon, Kathleen. It is so easy and a great visibility play. I published a few ebooks on Kindle a few months ago and while I haven’t gotten rich from them, at least people can find me on one of the biggest web sites on the Internet.
FYI – you can also add your blog to the Kindle site and people can subscribe for a small fee. Here’s a post I wrote in July about how to add your blog: http://www.buildabetterblog.com/2010/07/amazon-kindle-provides-a-revenue-stream-for-your-blog.html
Thanks for your comments and the post Denise. Yes, I agree that we won’t get rich but it is great for reaching potential customers and as a lead generator.
Thanks for the nudge Kathleen! Kindle has been hovering around in the back of my brain for a while now, and your email (which lead me here to see what you have to say) means I’m heading to Amazon next.
Thanks again!

Authors today need to be on top of all the latest technology and marketing strategies, it seems. Thanks for posting the information about Kindles. I wouldn’t have thought of this, as I don’t use one, but it’s a new market niche for authors to tap into.
