a Free Book Publishing Guide!
Amazon really has created a revolution in publishing with it's Kindle platform, recent figures from Amazon tell the tale. For every 100 physical books sold on Amazon there are 105 Kindle books sold. It is estimated that Amazon has sold in excess of 8 Million Kindles. Now that creates an opportunity, because Amazon needs content and lots of it. This is how we will start to make our money using the method that I outline below I went from Zero Sales to 1500 sales in 5 months by publishing content for Amazons Kindle platform.
Amazon has levelled the playing field for small publishers (that's you and me) by allowing anyone to publish on Kindle and Create Space Amazon's Publish On Demand or POD service) without it costing a penny, provided the content complies with their Terms of Service (TOS). That removes all the barriers to self publishing that has stopped so many people from succeeding.
The traditional route of approaching publishers suffering rejection often for years on end is over. This has allowed some people to make their entire income publishing on Kindle. But most of us will perhaps never write a novel.
So here's how we can do it, we will be publishing Non Fiction Information Products (books) and we will provide outstanding value and content. At first glance this may look little different from selling Information Products on eBay. With Kindle all the delivery is done for you electronically, there are no products to ship. It is a real set and forget business. You can also sell the same content on eBay and deliver as a physical product yourself.
There are lots of really HOT markets on Kindle so we will take a look at these, surprisingly the "Make Money Online" products are NOT big sellers so it may be better to steer clear of these, at least in the beginning until we have learned to market our other products correctly.
WHAT TO PUBLISH
We are going to publish our own range of books on Kindle and elsewhere so we need content, so we have four options:
In The Kindle Cash Machine Part 2 we will discuss the best sources of both free and paid content to help you compile a whole range of books in different subject areas.

WHAT TO PUBLISH
We are going to publish our own range of books on Kindle and elsewhere so we need content, so we have four options:
- Write it ourselves, time consuming and some would say tedious and what if you feel you cannot write (actually we all can)
- Get your book ghost written for you, you can use a service such as e-lance, The Warrior Forum or Student Gems to find worker who will do this for you. This is a costly option and you will need to give a very tight specification for the work
- Use Public Domain Content: There is a good chance that the popular content will already be on Kindle but there is a wealth of Public Domain content that has yet to be exploited I have a strategy for getting Public Domain works accepted for Kindle EVEN if it is already for sale on the site
- Compile your book from PLR (Private Label Rights) Materials, this is an excellent option but you will need to approach this in the correct way otherwise your books will be rejected by Amazon
In The Kindle Cash Machine Part 2 we will discuss the best sources of both free and paid content to help you compile a whole range of books in different subject areas.
