Hello, it's Rob coven. Here, I'm going to show you something amazing now how to publish a Kindle on the Amazon platform, how to have your book on the world's most successful e commerce website that sells books around the world. All you've got to do is get the following ready. And I will explain all about these in other videos. Of course, you need the title, the description, categories, keywords, seven of them, you need the cover, and you need a file, which contains the pages of your book. That's all you need.

I'm going to show you how to do it over@kdp.amazon.com and sign in with your Amazon ID. And then when you've done that, you will go to the bookshelf. And this is mine. I've got several books, I've written seven, I think and this is my eighth. So I'm going to create a new title, and I'm gonna enroll in KDP Pizza legs. What does that mean?

If you do this, it means you have the advantage of several of Amazon's marketing tools. You can provide your book for free for five days, every out of every 90 days if you want. This can put you and your brand in front of a new audience. Very important. You can have countdown deals, where your book can be cut price for certain periods of time, people are on Amazon because they want to buy things. And if you get your book on these pages in front of as many people as possible, that's how you get a best seller.

And that's how you build your brand online with a nonfiction ebook. So let's get started and enter the book details book name very important has to get a lot of benefits in the title. I'm not great at titles but I'll show you in other videos how you can be the new freedom Ordinary people are living extraordinary lives. And so can you. I'm not going to have a subtitle. And this book is not part of a series.

The publisher is optional, I usually put my company name in there, and the description. I'm going to paste that in. Later, I'm going to add quotes and HTML to that and I'll show you how to do that in another video. Now, the book contributors that you you have to add yourself as an author. So you go, first name, last name, and author, save. So there is me as a contributor.

The ISP is optional. Make it not a public domain work because you hold the necessary rights because you published it. Now the categories. I'll show you in another video how important the categories are. What I'm going to do is choose two categories here. is going to be very easy to get a bestseller status on, the other is going to be a little bit harder or quite a lot harder to get the bestseller status on, I'm going to have to sell about 10 books a day to get on one category, that's going to be no problem at all.

I'm gonna have to sell 100 maybe books in a day to get in the other category. So we'll see how I get on. But let's try and add the categories. First up, Here are six category ideas I've got the most easiest, of course is this business travel. Let's see if we can put it in there. This is a rank of 30,000 I think you only have to sell 10 in order to get the bestseller status in that category.

So travels specialty travel, business travel, let's see if we can get into that one. So add category and look for travel which is at the top of the tree. There it is travel and we're going to look for special specialty travel, special interest business. You see, it's slightly different category treat. So the one on the Kindle Store, they might end up being in that category. But if we have any problems at all, we're going to write to kdp.amazon.com and ask them to pose this in a different category.

So the second one I'm going to choose, I try this one. I think this was 100 books a day I have to sell in order to get to the top of this category. And it's business and money, entrepreneurship and small business home based. So we go back up to the top business and economics, entrepreneurship. Ah, yes, we can't, we can't get into that category. So what we need to do is when the book is published, right to kindle and see if they'll put us in that category, or we can choose another one at a later date, but At least we've got one category that's gonna absolutely cast on guarantee us a best seller.

So we've done the most important thing, but we need to return to the categories at a later date for the launch process. Okay, so there's our two categories we're only allowed to, and I'm going to ignore these two age ranges, questions, and then we're going to paste in these keywords. And there should be seven of them. Seven, okay. Browse for image, here is the image. And there's the image cover uploaded successfully, and the book content file.

Again, I'm going to show you how to do this in other videos. I've had this created for me by someone else, and it's a mobi and it looks fine. Here it is. You can open these in a variety of different mobi viewers like Kindle previewer this one is called Calibur. I've taught you about this in other videos, but basically go through it and see that all the links are working correctly. That was an internal link.

Go through it having look at the images, all the formatting, see that the chapters start on a new page like that one. Apart from that, everything looks fine. So we'll choose that mobi file. Okay, so as that's taking a bit of a while, we'll come back to that. We're going to save continue and go on to the final page. Verify your publishing territories we choose worldwide rights.

And for the price, I'm going to go for 99 cents. This is going to be my introductory price. I will later after a couple of weeks, put it up to 299 and then 300 99 or even 499, I'm not decided yet. But the point is to make it very cheap at the beginning, in order to get those initial sales to get the bestseller status and get the book in the hands of as many people as possible. The royalty on zero point $99 is 35%. As soon as it gets above 299, it's 70%.

That's why we rest at the price of 299 actually remains at 70% right up till 999. It's chosen a price in all the other currencies where the book is available. So I don't enroll it in the match program, but I do allow it to be lended. And then we have to check that we've read the T's and C's, which of course we haven't, and then we save it publish so many published quite yet, but let's do it anyway. Okay, it says please Be aware this can take up to 12 hours for English. But it's usually very, very much quicker than that.

It's usually one or two hours before it actually goes on to the Amazon Marketplace. But there it is, it's in review. And I'll wait until I get the email shortly from Amazon to say it's on the website so I can get the URL and send it out to as many people as possible, share it on social media. And of course, send it to my email list and my street team. Hello, this is Rob carbons. So the KDP amazon.com bookshelf has changed.

So when you upload a Kindle to the Amazon Kindle Store, the process is slightly different. Actually. Everything that you enter either keywords, the text, the image for the cover, the title, the author, and all the choices you make, they're all actually the same. It's just that the internet face has changed slightly, the biggest change really. And the reason they've made this change is that you can now upload pace paperbacks at KDP amazon.com. Before you could only do them at CreateSpace you can still do them at CreateSpace have I'll show you the differences now before the Kindle uploading process used two pages basically there was the content page in the pricing and promotion page.

It's now three is separated into book details book content, and Kindle ebook pricing. Here is the book details you choose the language, book title, put a series in if there is author now is a bit more simple. You can just put your first name last name into the author, but you can add other contributors here if you want description there with the HTML, publishing rights keywords looks a bit different but you're still allowed seven keywords. You set the categories there, and ignore the age and grade range as I always do. And then you have this new publishing option, where you can make your Kindle ebook available for pre order, which some people are doing at the moment. I haven't tried that one out, but people can buy your ebook before you've actually written it at a lower price.

The next one is Kindle ebook content. And this is where you upload the E pub or the mobi or even the word doc. And this is where you upload the ebook cover. That's where you launch the previewer to check if you've got everything right. And if you want, I would recommend you don't, you can add your ISP ends there. The ISP ends are given to you.

When you upload a paperback every paperback has to have a unique ISP and once you set an ISP in for a paperback, you then can't change the meta information. You can't change the title, the author or anything like that. And then lastly, Kindle ebook print pricing. Now this is where you select to enroll in KDP Select if you want before you did that right at the beginning of the process all territories and then this looks a little bit different but is actually again, it's the same, you select 70% which means that the price needs to be between 299 and 999. The other marketplaces that they work at the price for their don't enroll the book in Kindle matchbook and allow lending for this book, when you published that book, there is another change and that is that they asked you if you want to upload the paperback at KDP to amazon.com you can do if you want it's exactly the same as it is at CreateSpace.

It's up to you the benefits of doing it@kdp.amazon.com when you go to reports so you'll see your sales in both Kindle and paperback in the same report which is handy. I am sticking with create space for now because I'm more familiar Yeah with the interface. My name is Rob carbon. I'll see you in the next video.
