Become A Global Author And Publisher With Amazon KDP [Kindle Direct Publishing]
Kindle Direct Publishing is Amazon's masterplan for giving both upcoming and established authors a platform to get their books out in digital and print formats.
Over the years, since it was established in November 2007, millions of books have been published on the platform with many of them attaining the best seller status.
In 2019, authors on the KDP platform earned royalties of $300,000,000.
Finally Rid Yourself of The Hurdles To Getting Your Books Published
Every author has a barrage of hurdles to cross before ever getting published. Most times, it's either the outrageous publishing fees or outright rejection by the publishers.
For me, it was both. And a nasty third one: unclear terms as per the royalties sharing formula.
The fourth is the issue with distribution.
Did I mention that publishing your book on the Amazon KDP platform is absolutely free? Well,
You get your book on the platform at no cost.
It gets shown to prospective buyers at no cost.
However, Amazon prints it on demand and deducts the printing cost and the balance, called royalty, is shared between the you and Amazon as per the sharing ratio of your choosing.
The Amazon KDP platform will not reject you except you violate their policies which, the last time I checked, are not so hard to keep to.
The sharing ratio is as simple as Book Price - Printing Cost = Royalties. You decide what ratio or percentage to allow Amazon keep from a predetermined sharing formula.
Amazon KDP leverages on Amazon's global distribution network to get your books out to as many regions of the world as you choose.
The sweetest part of the whole deal is you can:
- Publish normal books like novels, textbooks, fiction and non-fiction
- Publish low content books like notebooks, journals, comics, etc.
- Publish zero content books like drawing pads, notepads, etc.
For the normal books, you can go for e-books only or paperback/hardcover only or both. Low content and zero content books can only be printed in paperback and hardcover formats
All this is sounding too good to be true. Right? See my book below:
The first copy of my normalized e-book, Advancing In Adversity was sold in India! I was so excited when I saw the notification.
I currently have 13 low content and zero content books on the platform. I have these few because I have been lazy about researching and publishing more books.
One of close friends has a target of putting out, at least, 20 books per month and he currently has over 50 books on the platform.
Finally Rid Yourself of The Fear Of Not Being Seen
The book above was hurriedly put together from some of my notes because I wanted to test the platform. And someone from India bought the first copy. At least one person outside Nigeria is currently having my e-book on his device.
To demonstrate, I typed the book title and author into the Bing search engine's bar and I got 7,540,000 results. All the results on the first page related to my book (e-book and paperback). Talk about being seen!
With everything said, it took me being exposed to these courses to take the step to publish on Amazon KDP
