What Is a Winning Topic for Your First Ebook?
Pick a nonfiction problem readers search for, then let KDSPY or Publisher Rocket check the numbers. I only publish when the book ratio is 20 or less.
Self-Publishing for Novice Writers
Yes. It costs little to start, pays higher royalties than a traditional deal, and you can learn covers, ads and sales copy as you go. Plus my top tip.
Motivation To Create The Type Of Book You’re Offering
Knowing your why keeps you publishing. What motivated me to write 230 books: new ideas, sharing what I know, earning while I sleep, and never stopping learning.
Does self-publishing hurt your chances to become popular?
No. Self-publishing does not stop you becoming popular. Publish each topic under one author name and build an email list. How author names and audience matter.
How do you self-publish a children’s book on Amazon Kindle?
Use Kindle Create for a fixed-layout picture book ebook and Atticus for print. Start with high-resolution images, as no tool fixes poor pictures.
Why Did My KDP Account Close Without Any Notification?
Amazon can close a KDP account without saying why. Causes I have seen: bought reviews or clicks, fake free downloads, copyright claims. What to do next.
