Well it’s time for us to reveal what we have been doing these last couple of months. It’s not affiliate sales, it’s not webinars nor is it video uploads (though it can help if you wanted it to), it’s not the gui-changing security-risk Faecebook or Shitter (excuse the colloquial joke there) and it’s not feeding the Google blog mouth that has the great gaping ass where everything falls into Sheol.
No, it’s Kindle.
I put up 11 books in a just a few weeks on Amazon’s Kindle platform and am already getting hundreds of dollars in sales per month. I know some of you will think, ‘Omg, that’s good but it ain’t much’. Well this is only the tip of the iceberg. While I am busting my gut working in a (very well paid) job right now, I do not plan to do so by next year. I have now found a way to accelerate Kindle sales and do it all the legitimate way. I could create my books a lot faster than I do, but I want to create quality so I get repeat customers for books having similar subject matter.
PLR (Private Label Rights) works well, but many people make the confoundedly asinine mistake of simply copying the material and churning it onto Amazon with lousy replicated covers, even those ‘Cover Action Pro’ shots which don’t work for Kindle sales pages and only reflect the obvious stupidity of the uploader.
Amazon is going to crack down on those guys pretty soon.
That is why I am taking this slowly; writing my own stuff and modifying PLR where I see it can sell; customizing it for my own purposes to suit my target audience. Picking the right titles is crucial to selling; and researching the needs and wants of the ‘bilious public’ (as some have put it) has great rewards, in tandem with studying current events and societal trends that make people want to buy things, even in an economic quagmire.
So, one needs the right way to prepare Kindle books and do a good job at it – and it’s really quite simple. Since I have been busy doing these books, I haven’t had time to prepare my own ‘how to’ yet, but I have came across a method by another best-selling Kindle author who is making things happen for new writers. Everyone has a book in them, and many more have more than just one book.
If you are serious about making extra money, passively (since once it’s up there you sit back and relax) then this could be the product for you, the bookpumper ‘Kindle Revolutions’. This is a good start to get your feet wet in the revolution of ebooks that is sweeping the world for portable devices; pads and phones.
- There is no SEO to do (Amazon does it all for you).
- There is no blog post to slave to.
- Sell as many titles as you want, under any pseudonym you like.
- No expensive niche website tools to buy; you get your own sales page on Amazon.
- Your title often appears at top page ranking Google searches.
- Amazon affiliates can find your book and promote it.
- Write your book in Word, convert to Kindle using the free tool downloaded from Amazon and you’re selling straight away.
One of my titles have sold 44 copies in this month alone!
September 2011 Amazon Kindle sales report showing some of my 11 books (US sales)
While I have done okay in affiliate sales, this Kindle stuff by far outstrips anything for massive potential. Who wants to set up affiliate sites for other people’s products and then have to update it just to satisfy the Magisterium of Google Lords and Masters? (Where their search results could be skewed anyway -and that’s not me saying this, it’s from the Business section of our local Herald).
The above image is just for the US. Royalty payments are 70% for most of my books, not a paltry 10% like a selective stuffy traditional publisher would pay. When you sign up for Kindle publishing, you also get to sell your books in Europe and the UK. Experiment on what sells; some titles may get you one sale a month, others 5 or more. Three other books of mine have sold around 13 copies each in September. Kindle Revolutions shows you simple tactics to get the attention of readers to your titles and with that high-selling book I now have on Amazon, I am learning about what people want and I will cater for those needs with more targeted books.
So have a look at Kindle Revolutions and get that passive income working for you the way it is meant to, without the effort that other Internet Marketing methods constantly call your attention to.
