“Also, it’s important to know that anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can make money publishing Kindle books on Amazon. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to know how to market things online. You don’t even need to know how to write. This is one of the only “fool proof” money making systems I have ever personally used. A system that I would feel comfortable teaching my own mother (no offense mom), knowing that she could make money doing this, with no prior knowledge.” - Brad Callen

The Internet has continued to provide amazing opportunities for people all over the world to make full time income in the tune of thousands of dollars every month with little or no financial investment. One of such opportunities can be found with Amazon Kindle publishing platform.

The Amazon Kindle platform helps authors to publish their book as ebook, which is called Kindle at Amazon, and make them available for easy download and reading with smart phones, tablets, and other computers.

Riding on the back of Amazon’s highly trusted name and marketing expertise, writers and information marketers can make lots of money from their ebooks. Some writers do make six figures in yearly income from their Kindles, while million dollars earnings have also been reported, and the beauty of it is that more people are buying Kindles now than before, and that means more money for publishers.

This is an opportunity Nigerians can conveniently participate in and establish a full time income on. However, you need to know how to go about it to achieve the success you desire.
The guide you are about to read below is created by an information marketer named Brad Callen, who has garnered enormous experience in Kindle publishing, and has achieved remarkable success in the business, earning tens of thousands of dollars as income each month.

He shares all you need to know and do to also be successful making money from your ebooks. Among what you will learn in this guide includes how to create a hot selling ebook in any subject, and how to make your book a top selling book in Amazon and continue to pull in the big income each month. Enjoy reading!   
   
Before we get started, it’s extremely important to know that, in this guide, I’ll be teaching you the manual methods that I use to make money by selling Kindle books on Amazon. What I’ll be teaching you in this book are pivotal “concepts” you MUST know if you want to make a full-time income selling Kindle books.

Also, it’s important to know that anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can make money publishing Kindle books on Amazon. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to know how to market things online. You don’t even need to know how to write. This is one of the only “fool proof” money making systems I have ever personally used. A system that I would feel comfortable teaching my own mother (no offense mom), knowing that she could make money doing this, with no prior knowledge.

So, if you’ve never made a dime online, or have tried and tried and have made very little, now is where things change big time, IF you follow what I’ll be teaching you. These strategies work. I can 100% promise you that. And it works nearly every single time, like clockwork. If you don’t want to take my word for it, just look up “amazon kindle” on popular marketing forums, like the Warrior Forum and you’ll see thread after thread of people that have never earned a dime online, to now making $1000s monthly. In fact, I’ve used some of the ranking strategies in this guide (which are very straight forward, and simple, I might add) to rank #1 for “weight loss” on Amazon, in only ONE WEEK!

Here’s the simple process we’ll be taking for each of our Kindle books we publish:
1. Find a niche topic to write on. One that gets searched a lot, yet has little competition. 2. Choose 7 keywords you want to rank at the top of Amazon for. These need to be highly searched, low competition words.  3. Write the book yourself OR have it written by someone else. I always have it written by someone else for cheap. 4. Publish your book to Amazon. 5. Rank highly for the keywords you selected in step 2 above. 6. Make money. People find your book by entering 1 of those 7 keywords. They buy your book. Amazon notices you’re a valuable book so THEY start promoting you all over their website. You make more money. You need to rank highly and make some initial sales through that, or Amazon won’t start promoting you, and you’ll be at a standstill.

Ranking highly is critical. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 on another book.
The process isn’t rocket science. It’s very repeatable. All of it can be outsourced or done by yourself. What you’ll find will make or break you are 2 things: 1. Knowing what hot topics to write on. 2.

Actually ranking at the top of Amazon for your keywords.  99% of Kindle publishers just write on what they feel like writing on. Publish it. And make no money because they don’t rank anywhere visible.

How to Get Started as a Kindle Author
One of the most important things you’ll need to do when writing a Kindle book is decide on a niche topic. In this section we are going to talk about how to choose a niche by browsing on Amazon and doing a little Google research.

Choosing a Niche
 Everything - whether it’s in opening a brick and mortar store, an online store or affiliate site, a service business, or becoming a Kindle publisher ...everything starts with choosing a niche. A niche, in its simplest form is an area where you’ll present yourself as the specialist, a very specific form of targeting your market.

A quick trip to Amazon.com will reveal numerous categories, however, we are only interested in those sub categories under Kindle Books.  Let's say that through your keyword research you’ve discovered that "Health and Fitness" is a hot target niche. A quick trip to the Amazon Kindle site shows us that "Health, Fitness and Dieting" is listed as a Category. Great. We can start writing on that topic, right? Not yet.

You need to drill down to the lowest denominator in your chosen niche. You’ll have a much better opportunity for success to choose narrow niches known in the Internet world as micro-niches, than to choose the broader niches.

Even though Health, Fitness and Dieting is a very hot broad niche, if you choose to target that category you’ll have a hard time ranking in the top 100 for that broad category. As you will see at

Amazon, under that broad category there are 15 sub categories, and each of these sub categories have micro categories. By continuing to drill down, clicking on any link in the Browse list will take you even further into the niche.

In my example, I've decided to write on anti-aging. A hot topic, I think. I've chosen Health, Fitness and Dieting > Personal Health > Aging. And, when I click on Aging, I find I have come to the end of my category list. This is the ultimate micro niche I will target in this example - my starting place for choosing a hot niche target for my book.

You’ll have a much better chance of getting to the top 100 by drilling down to the lowest micro-niche category than you’ll if you try the buckshot approach under Health, Fitness and Dieting.

Verifying the Hotness of the Niche
Now, to make sure you’ve a great niche, you’re going to want to do some keyword analysis to find out if your specific niche topic gets searched a lot. If it doesn’t, it’s probably not worth your time. The goal is to find a niche that is searched a lot and has little competition so you can write your book and immediately get ranked highly in the Amazon search results.

One thing you should do is make sure your demographics are suitable for targeting the segments of society that are ready, willing and able to buy your books.

Simply go to Google and search for the niche keyword you've decided to go after. In my illustration, that will be "healthy aging" so I do a Google search for that phrase. Interestingly, one site claims authority in the first two search engine positions, so that will be a good site to feed into Quantcast.net to discover the demographics (i.e., we want to know what kind of people search for "healthy aging" information).

We are interested in several things: their sex, ethnicity, income, age - i.e., we want to know if the profile of those visiting the site at the top of a Google search for our keyword will be a good target market for a series of books on this topic.

Now comes a bit of deductive reasoning on my part. I see the visitors to this site are primarily female, age 55 - 65+, in an income bracket above $50,000 per year, are well educated, primarily African American.

With this information I am confident I have chosen a great niche for my first series of Amazon Kindle books. With the main reason being the avg. income is over $50,000. You don’t want to dive into a niche to sell to people with no money. Sounds obvious, but you would be surprised how many people completely ignore this.

With that said, I now want to verify this niche just a little further by searching on Amazon for what people are searching for in that niche. To do this, go to the Kindle Books department and type in the word "aging" and you’ll see a list of topics people are searching for. These are topics people are searching for on Amazon. And, there's even more. Just add a space after the word "aging" and you’ll see how the list changes.

Now, start adding the alphabet after the space ... like this "aging a" and you’ll see even more choices. If you do this with each letter of the alphabet you’ll soon have a list of EVERYTHING people are searching for that niche on Amazon. How cool is that?

How to Become an Expert
When an author writes multiple topics in the same, or closely related categories they are often referred to as "experts in their field". What makes them an expert? It's really no secret, when you write several Kindle books in the same or related topics under the same pen name you’ll quickly become known as a specialist in that field. That's what turns you into an overnight expert in your chosen niche.

Write "Same Niche" Topics
Continuing with our example target niche, you should write on several related topics that will be of interest to anyone purchasing books on the topic of health and fitness as related to aging, such as "anti-aging secrets", "sex after 60", "how to retire without stress" and numerous other topics. By targeting subjects in the same genre/niche you’ll quickly cinch your expert status and make more sales, which is your ultimate goal.

Choose a Good Pen Name
Amazon allows you to open one Kindle publishing account, however, you may choose several pen names under which to write. This is great for cementing your expert status. If for example, you start out writing in a niche about cooking, and later want to target a niche about finances, using the same pen name will be confusing to people and hurt your expert status.

Little Known Secret: Choose a pen name that people in your demographic research will relate to and you’ll get more sales. Think how names have changed over the years. In the early 1900's you saw men named Woodrow, Edison, Josiah and women with names like Martha, Matilda and Cora. These are known as "old fashioned names" today, while names such as Kyle, Aiden, Logan, Mia and Alexis are more common for babies today.

So, while choosing a pen name can seem to a daunting task, it doesn't need to be too difficult. Simply choose two names that your target audience can relate to. In our example of targeting the "aging" micro niche, this would be a name common to the time period between 1945 and 1965.

Where do you find such a name? Sites that have baby names are a great place to start. The Social Security site of the US government has a list of the most popular names for any given year. Simply search for a year and choose a couple of names from the boy and girl lists you’ll find there. Your target audience will relate to those names because they were born in that generation. If you need common names for other countries, simply do a Google Search in your country for "common baby names 2013", replacing 2013 with the year that will fit your niche market.

You’ll see names from 1950 for male and female babies. To create a great pen name, simply choose a couple of names from the same or both lists and combine these. For example, Robert James, John

Michael, Diane Stevens, Dennis Paul. In some instances you may need to add an "s" to the name to make it a surname. However, in a short time you’ll have a pen name that will match your target audience, thus increasing your status as an expert in the field.

Moving right along ... Okay, now that you’ve chosen your niche and have determined to write a series of books in that niche, it's time to start writing.

Writing Starts with an Outline
I know that sounds simplistic ... but you would be surprised what a big help it’s to simply outline your book and then fill in the spaces. You learned it in school and it’s probably the most important thing you learned about creative writing: Outline first.

With an outline you’ve a beginning, middle and an ending. It's like having a roadmap of how to get from Atlantic City, NJ to Sacramento CA. With a roadmap you may take a few interesting side trips on your journey but you’ll eventually get to the end of the route. The same is true with the book outline.

Ask Questions
One thing I find helpful is to ask questions. For example, if I am writing on Healthy Aging I might ask the following questions:
1. When do people start noticing the effects of aging? 2. How does aging affect our health? 3. What steps can I take to maintain good health as I get older? 4. etc., etc.

As I progress through a list of 5 -10 questions under each of my Outline topics I will soon have a good basis for my eBook and all I will need to do is add interesting facts and anecdotes to make my story interesting. Make sense?

Where to Find Information
You can find interesting information almost anywhere you look. I research everything on the Internet - then, I branch out into other areas as the need arises. Here's my list of places to research:
Internet search engines. Blogs. Article Directories. Libraries. Book Stores. Magazines. Personal Experience. Interviews. Television programs (think CNN, FOX, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Katie Courick, PBS, The Biggest Loser, etc.). Public Domain works.

Note: Don’t plagiarize, as that is illegal and unethical. It’s acceptable practice to research topics using other people's work, but be sure to credit their work when credit’s due. If you Don’t want to credit someone else's work, make sure the information you’ve used is not proprietary to them (meaning you can find it in more than one source), and that you haven't copied their words verbatim. It’s really best to give credit as this lends credibility to your own work.

What to Do if You Can't Write?
Help! I can't write.

I hear you. And, you’re not alone. Believe it or not there are many famous authors who can’t write, but their public hasn't a clue that they have hired a ghostwriter to pen their thoughts and ideas. Not to worry, even the person who can't write or spell can be a good Kindle author by utilizing the right resources.

1. Using Professional Ghostwriters. Outsourcing to someone who knows how to write is the preferred method. Do a Google search for 'ghostwriter for hire' and you’ll come up with multiple pages for people who write behind the scenes and let you take all of the credit, income and glory. You’ll pay them upfront according to their schedule; they will agree to release the work to you and that's it. Your name will go on the book as the writer.

This can be expensive; however there are ways to minimize the expense when getting started. A word of caution: never sacrifice quality for a cheap price. It’s not worth it in the long run.

2. Rewrite public domain works. If you use this method, ensure the work is out of copyright and do a complete rewrite of the content. Don’t use an automated system that rewrites content as this will reduce the quality of your content and get you suspended from Amazon. Caution: You must be careful when using this method, however, as you can’t claim authorship of the public domain work even if you rewrite it.  The best you could hope to accomplish in getting your pen name on the book is to put the Title, original author, and then "rewritten by [your pen name]".

Proof Your Work. I can't say this enough - if you submit poor quality work to Kindle, you’ll have an uphill battle to fight. People are ruthless in their criticism of bad grammar, unsubstantiated facts, and misspelled words. You’ll often find revisions of Kindle books as a result of the reviews given.

It doesn't need to be your story as you've been warned. Have your work proofread before you submit it to Kindle. You don't want someone to say this in their review: "This book has the potential of being great; however, the grammatical errors make it too difficult to read."

Signing Up With Kindle Publishing Program
Okay, now that you’ve written your book and have created a killer cover it’s now time to sign up with Kindle Publishing. If you’ve already done this step, you may skip this section. It’s very easy and I’ll step you through the process right now.

Step One: Signup with Kindle Publishing
Go to Amazon.com and scroll down the page until you see a list of links. Click on the link that says Independently Publish With Us. This will open a new an overview of the types of self-publishing venues available. Click on the Get Started link under the Kindle Books section.

After clicking the Get Started link you’ll be taken to a window where you can either 1) join the Kindle program using your existing Amazon user account or 2) create a new Kindle account. This is entirely up to you.  Please ensure that you read the Kindle publisher Terms and Conditions before proceeding with the sign up as you don't want to inadvertently do anything to jeopardize your account.  Note in particular that while it’s okay with Amazon for you to open up a new Kindle account, OR to sign in with an existing Amazon user account, it’s not okay to open more than one

Kindle account.

Step Two: Complete Your Profile
After you’ve signed up for a Kindle account, providing only an email address and password, and have agreed to their terms, you’ll now need to complete the process. When you click on the Update Now link of logout and come back later, you’ll be confronted with this screen to complete the process: Of course it’s in your best interest to provide accurate information in order to get paid for your hard work :).

Step Three: Completing Royalty Payment Information
Amazon will send your Royalty payments to your bank account via electronic deposit, or via check through the mail. There is some lag time when you first get started, but once you’re consistently maintaining sales, you’ll get the royalty payment like clockwork. If the payment is directly deposited into your checking account you’ll only need to accrue a balance of at least $10/£10/€10; if opting for the payment by check, your balance will need to be $100/£100/€100.

Formatting Your Document for Kindle
Once you’ve signed up to be a Kindle Publisher and have written your ebook you must format it in a way that is acceptable to Kindle. This is not a big deal as it once was because Amazon has now made it easy to publish your book.  Amazon KDP has provided an excellent and simple to understand guide for formatting the manuscript. If you’ll follow their rules and guidelines you’ll breeze through the process.

Advanced Kindle Marketing Strategies
Often times an author will simply put their book up on Amazon and wait for the magic to happen. While this might work for James Patterson or Amanda Hocking it will not work for most of us, as we are the "unknown" to the Kindle eBook buying world. Our goal as new Kindle publishers is to make it into the Amazon Best Seller's list as soon as possible. With that in mind I've created a list of 11 powerful, yet simple strategies that will give you that extra momentum to propel you to the top of that list. You may use them all ... or concentrate on one or two. You may find it works best to combine several. These strategies work. But only if you put them to use!

Strategy #1 - Give eBook Proceeds to a Charity and Zoom to the Top of Amazon
With this advanced strategy you’ll propel your Kindle book to the top of the charts within a few days of uploading it to the Kindle store. To put this strategy into action, simply locate a charity that has a vibrant and active Facebook page and contact them either in person, on the phone or in a letter.

Your initial contact should relay the following information: your strong belief in the charity, that you’re a published author, that you’re donating 100% of the proceeds from the book [title] to the charity, tell how the book will benefit those who purchase it and how it fits their overall core beliefs, ASK them to make a Facebook post about the book, as it will generate revenues for them when their supporters purchase the book. Attach the book to your email for their review.

Now, here's what will happen. When the charity accepts your offer and makes the post on their Facebook page about the book (stating all of the proceeds go to charity name), those people who are strong supporters of the charity will purchase the book and tell others about it. Many will repost on their Facebook pages, on Twitter, on Pinterest ... simply because they believe in the charity. Your book will make it to the top of Amazon's charts from the sheer volume of orders from the charity alone.

But you haven't made any money on it. So how can that help you? The whole purpose for the charity giveaway is to build an audience. Once that is accomplished you own that audience. It's yours and you can approach them as someone who is "on their side", someone who believes in the same cause, so much so that you’ve donated the proceeds of a great book. They will now listen when you speak and they will read your email. You’ve a captive audience for your next Kindle eBook release where you’ll keep ALL of the proceeds (minus the fees charged by Kindle). It's a brilliant strategy.

Strategy #2: Create an "Internet Marketing Type" Launch for your New Book
If you've been around the world of Internet Marketing then you may be aware of the hype that accompanies the successful product launches. You can use this same method to create buzz and sizzle - and to propel your book to the top of Amazon's Best Sales Rank list. It works well with Strategy #1 as a follow up for your second book launch.

This method assumes you’ve built a warm market list of people who have subscribed to your list. (Hint: If the list is from your charity give-away book, then you’ll have a very receptive list). This is the primary reason you should create your author's blog, Facebook page, Pinterest and Twitter accounts prior to publishing your first book. You need to build buzz and you need to get subscribers to your list. 

So how do you get their name on your list?  Simple and brilliant: In every book you write you’ll put a link to your squeeze page and offer them the opportunity to get on your advanced notification list.

If they love your writing they will feel honored to be on your list. Any author who fails to use this technique is leaving a pile of money on the table.

Strategy #3: Set up an Author's Toolbar
This strategy assumes you’ve set up your author's blog under your pen name. What we want to do is give your follower's easy access to you, thus giving you easy access to them! Although used a lot by savvy Internet Marketers this strategy is little used by Kindle authors. You’ll be ahead of the pack by setting it up.

Having an author's toolbar is all about user engagement with your fans. With it you can communicate almost instantaneously, answer their questions, and let them know when you’ve a new release, as well as remind them to leave a review. It’s a win/win tool for you and them. They will love having the access to you. You’ll love having an actively growing and engaged fan base as that means money in your pocket.

So head over to www.toolbar.conduit.com and click on the big orange "Start Now" button. It's free. It's relatively easy and will increase your profit!

Strategy #4 - Publish Multiple Books Simultaneously
One way to jump quickly to the top of Amazon's list is to write several books in different, but related, categories and publish them all at the same time. You don't want to put them all in the same category; however, you don't want them spread across totally unrelated categories, either as this will raise Amazon's suspicion that you’re trying to gain the system. For example you might write a series of diet and nutrition books, putting them under the different micro niche categories that have related books such as Health, Fitness, Dieting, Cookbooks, Food and Wine and Self Help. You can drill down into the micro niches of these primary categories to find several sub niche categories that will work. Remember, you’re allowed 2 categories per book.

Now, the reason you want to dump all of the books into your KDP account at one time is that Amazon seems to love this approach and will give your books a huge boost by promoting your books on your behalf. This could have a tremendous effect on your marketing efforts.

Strategy #5 - Sell More Books Through Creative Branding
It’s one thing to publish a few book on Kindle, quite another to get people to talking about it. Yet, to be a successful Kindle book publisher you need to generate interest in your books. Thankfully, you don't need to bang your head against the wall to get people to notice you!

It starts with a killer Pen Name; and then market that name. You can do this is several ways: setting up a blog or website under that name, setting up several social site accounts such as

Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. This will culminate in generating fans and followers that want to engage with you and spread the word about your books. Once you’ve built your audience they will follow you anywhere you want to go. Your ultimate goal in doing this is to brand your pen name as an expert in your chosen niche market, thus getting more traffic to your Amazon books and more people leaving good reviews of your work.

Within a few weeks you’ll become the go-to person for questions about your niche topic, propelling you into the expert status you've worked for. Now, when someone sees your pen name attached to a book it’s not just another wannabe Kindle publisher, rather it’s the name of someone who knows what he/she is talking about.

Strategy #6 - Create Interrelated Titles and Cross Promote
When you publish your first book you can't do this, of course, as you don't have another to promote. That's okay. After you create your second book you may edit and republish your first book with a link to your second book. If someone likes a book you’ve published you can be assured they will be eager to read more of your work.
Create a grouping around your pen name and micro-niche category as the author did in the screenshot below. She literally owns the adoption niche with her numerous publications in that niche.

When you click through on her name it appears that she writes based on her passion instead of market research. However, we can't be sure of that as she could be using numerous pen names and biographies.

Since the name she is using is connected only to children in need, children who are adopted or abused or in foster care, she could easily create a group around that micro niche and cross-promote within that group.  To do this for your own books, you simply create a promotional blurb in each book about another book in the group and put a link to that book in the Amazon Kindle marketplace. This will have a two-faceted effect: more sales and a higher ranking in Amazon Kindle Marketplace.

Strategy #7 - Focus on Quality, not Quantity for Positive Feedback
When Amazon Kindle first opened its doors there were numerous junk books in their store. However, Amazon cleaned up their catalog and removed duplicates (created using private label rights materials), and removed a lot of badly written books as well. Why did they do this? Because of customer reviews. The customers were not pleased with the quality and Amazon listened. Good reviews are worth triple their weight in gold to your Kindle business. If the customer is pleased then you’ll get good reviews. To ensure this happens produce top quality work. This means you may need to spend time/money having your work proofread and edited. Sure you can shortcut this process, however, if you do the reviews will be bad and that will hurt your sales. It could also ultimately get your book removed, as is Amazon's editorial prerogative.

Strategy #8- Get Rave Reviews to Sell More Books
Reviews are to Kindle eBooks what picking up a hard copy in a bookstore and flipping through the pages is for offline buyers. You can't see or touch the book. If you can read what others think about the book, however, you’re "seeing" it through their eyes. Without reviews your book will simply collect virtual dust in the Amazon Marketplace.

The secret is to get the reviews AS SOON AS the book launches so that on the day your book is published in Amazon it has a few rave reviews. There are several ways to do this - and you should use any method that you feel comfortable using: • Send a prerelease copy to friends, family members, and coworkers and ask them to read it and provide an honest review. Not the best method, but will get you one or two good reviews.  • Join author forums and get involved - and ASK people to buy your book; in exchange you’ll buy theirs. Of course, you’ll each leave an honest review for the other. One such forum is http://www.kboards.com. A Google search will reveal others. • Contact Amazon's top reviewers. Go to http://www.amazon.com/review/top-reviewers and you'll find a list of people who are classified as Amazon's top reviewers. Contact 10 - 15 of these reviewers, send them a complimentary copy of your ebook and ask for an honest review. • Find reviewers online. This site has several reviewers who are willing to provide honest reviews in exchange for a complimentary copy of your Kindle book: http://www.thekindlebookreview.net/get-reviewed/  • Purchase a

Fiverr.com gig to READ and review your book. Make sure they are willing to purchase and read the book - you’ll most likely need to compensate them for the cost of the book as well as the review.

You want an honest review, so don't just purchase reviews from people who will not read your book.

Strategy #9 - Make Good Use of the Author Page in Author Central
This is an often-overlooked strategy that will help to brand you as a serious author. The author page is similar to an "About" page on your blog as it’s all about you - the "you" that the public should know about. If you’ve 3 pen names then you’ll have 3 Author pages - one for each pen name.

You’ll need a good "pen name" profile picture - i.e., it can't be the real you. You can purchase an image from one of the royalty-free image resources such as bigstockphoto.com, fotolia.com or stockphoto.com. I suggest that you choose an "action" image instead of an up close image. For example, if you're writing in a niche about family and children, you might choose a mother with children around her. If you're writing in a niche about health and fitness you might choose an image with someone running, cooking, playing tennis, etc. Just keep in mind you’ll need to use the same model for all of that pen name's profile pictures across your author blog, facebook page, pinterest and twitter accounts. The primary reason for choosing a picture showing the author involved in some niche activity is to identify with the audience who will be purchasing your books in that niche.

Secondly, you’ll need a good author bio. You don't really need to fabricate a lie here - just describe your reason for being interested in the niche - i.e., why you’re writing on that particular topic. List any real writing credentials, awards, kudos you might have including a list of any other books published under that pen name. Just make yourself as personable and interesting as possible.

Strategy #10 - Set Up a Social Site Link Wheel for Promoting Your Book
Using your PEN NAME,you’ll setup a several social accounts such as Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Squidoo and Twitter, etc.You’ll also need an author's blog and the URL to your Author page on Amazon Kindle.

Note, before setting up your social accounts, go ahead and setup an email account for your pen name at Google, Yahoo, or other such service. Use that email address to setup your social accounts. Don’t use your "real name" email address. Now that you’ve the social sites and author's blog set up you want to create a "wheel" that will ultimately lead your visitors to purchase your Kindle book.

Here's how it works:

1. Create a minimum of 7 blog posts on your author's blog using actual quotes from your book. Within each of the posts place a nice image that relates to the content of your book. Also place a link to your book on Amazon Kindle somewhere within the post. 2. On Pinterest, setup a board for and give it a name. Pin the images from your blog. 3. Make a post on Facebook and share a link to your Pinterest board 4. Make a Twitter post about your Facebook update. 5. etc.

Strategy #11 - Use Intentional Keywords in your Title, and Cover and Description
There are four aspects to your ebook that carry a lot of weight in marketing to your audience: the Title, the Cover, the Description and Reviews. These are the factors that will generate the most sales

IF you use well-placed keywords that tie them together, thus optimizing your Amazon page. In order to get the best possible results, target specific keywords for your niche.

You can find out what people are searching for by going to Amazon.com and then start typing in the Amazon Search bar. For example, if I have written a book on how to have beautiful skin at any age and am focusing on "anti aging skin care and nutrition secrets", I will make sure to use that term in the Amazon title, the Cover graphic title and at least two times in my description. Why?

Because Amazon has shown me that is what people are searching for.

Alright, that wraps up exactly what I would do to make money publishing Kindle Books. Like I said at the beginning of this guide, it’s not rocket science. Anyone can do this. It’s a very straightforward process that can work over and over and over again.
