Can You Earn by Producing eBook Versions for Kindle?
The key factor in online business efforts today is the sale of e-books. The majority of Internet marketers have sold e-books at some point in time.
At the moment, the majority of e-books are published in PDF format, suitable for reading on the ubiquitous Adobe Acrobat reader. This makes perfect sense, practically everybody already has a copy of Acrobat on their hard drive. Even if somebody does not possess a copy of this program, all they need to do is download Acrobat free of charge from Adobe’s website.
Whether you own PLR rights or have written the e-book personally, publishing it should be a fairly simple process. There are many programs which are capable of producing a PDF file for you. After that, all you have to do is decide upon the best route to market in order to publicise your e-book. The majority of marketers choose to use Clickbank for this.
You might be interested to learn that there is a new publishing method available for e-books which you may have been unaware of up until now. At the moment, the Amazon Kindle e-book reader is a hot, “must have” gadget. It’s a very nice piece of electronic kit. The fact that virtually every new e-book reader which displays any potential at all is instantly christened the “Kindle Killer”, demonstrates that the Kindle isn’t just the market leader, but the benchmark against which all new readers will be measured. The key thing, from a marketing perspective, is the fact that more people have a Kindle than any of the other types of e-book readers available on the market today.
Apart from the technology of the hardware itself, one of the main factors in the success of the Kindle up to now, has been the large selection of Kindle books available on the Amazon website for readers to choose from.
Currently, there are in excess of 420,000 titles on offer – and this collection is increasing at an average rate of 500 new books daily. As fascinating as this is, what does it mean for your Internet marketing efforts? Simply put, as well as providing a new way of reading books the Kindle also offers new publishing methods.
If you have an Amazon account – which is free (if you’ve ever bought anything from Amazon then you [have one already) – you can quickly and easily publish books in Kindle format. All that you require to do is to save your book in HTML format, after which you just upload it to Amazon’s Kindle store. In a matter of minutes your book could be on sale by the world’s biggest bookshop.
You can define the price of your book to be whatever you wish. However, if you choose a price between $0.99 and $9.99, you will retain 70% of the selling price of any books which sell. A fairly nominal fee is applied to cover delivery charges. Typically this will be no more than a few cents and is based upon the size, in kilobytes, of the e-book.
Your fee may be a little less than you could make by selling a $97 e-book, even so, the potential large sales volume in conjunction with the fact that the process is entirely free, could make it an attractive proposition for you.
The Kindle is frequently held to be the future of reading. Obviously this can be applied to both books e-books. Publishing your own Kindle book could be the ideal opportunity for you to be involved in, and to profit from, a new technology in its early, developmental phase. So why not consider a Kindle edition for the next e-book that you plan to publish?
