Please I need the best dimension for the size of my book cover. The dimension that won't shrink the background photo too much and also be accepted on KDP.

bros1234,

Please, which area/niche(non-fiction) will you advice one to begin with?

This is a tough question. I'm sure no one will reveal this. Maybe you should start with what area you are good at. Find books selling well in that area and then write similar books with different titles and different pen names. But if you email me I could show you one of my books in a pen name.

OP you're doing a good job.. Pls I'm working on photo-book... What I don't understand is under which book selling categories does it fall. And please explain to me why the price of books published as calendar,hardcover,paperback and board book are different. I just need expert advice on how to promote Photo-book (contains landscape/timelapse photos) for better sales. Thanks

I dont have experience with photobooks. Sorry. Try Mr. Google

Bro, you have a very good book. But I dont know why its not selling. some days are like that. I know one book that I took a lot of pain to write and it ended up as 200 page book. Guess what. No one is buying it. since I released it, it has not sold a copy. But I didnt give up. Now I sell at least 3-5 books daily, many times I sell up to 10. but the barest minimum is 3. so go ahead and write more.

My advise is that you should go ahead and write more books. I would recommend the non fiction niche. Any book that solves people's problems are okay

Thank you for the encouragement, I had only 4 free downloads during the promo. Also previously 1 paid preorder before the promo.

I now understand the graph...it goes up on days of transaction and comes down to zero if no transaction is recorded on a particular day.

Thanks once again. My second book Perception plays @ 10k words is at 70% completion.

Hey guess what? The flower you see was a weed growing near my toilet in my former 1 room apartment in ikeja. One year later its part of my book cover.

Tell me how dope is that?

Well done bros. I have been following this thread and it's has a motivation. Please can you suggest a good niche for me or a title I can try my hands on, this is my first time, I want to try this. Thanks.

The cover is great. But I think that top purple color does not fit the flower. Try change it to something else that rhyme with the flowers and lets see how it looks.

Good work bro.

You're welcome bro.

I suggest you can research and write on topics in the following niches....Productivity, Teenagers, Children, finance (security), Prayer. There are many actually.

Look at this book and check the stats

https://www.amazon.com/Finance-Computing-Security-Beginners-Protect-ebook/dp/B019VEYWUY/ref=sr_1_5?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1475013355&sr=1-5

That small book is ranked 15,000 in paid category and is by a felow Nigerian. That book sells no less than 5 daily. I wont go into details, but you should get an idea of what to write about once you browse a little on amazon site and check out other books that are selling.

CAVEAT: That book is not mine. But it has shown me area I will write about soon. For now my books are ranked around 50,000...80,000, 100,000 in paid category.

Thanks

Good work bro.

On the contrary... I believe the purple in the cover is a nice contrast from the yellows in the petals and is a nice shade of the purplish edges of the sane petals.

Design is my thing... I know one when I see one.

It's almost perfect... If you ask.

Hahaha. bro, I surrender.

You're looking at it from the side of the designer. I am looking at it from the side of a client comparing other books like it.

But it's well

You have a point... For the benefit of those trying to start... Pls start from create space before uploading to Amazon or select. The cover designs in create space are far more professional than that of Amazon.

Because of this discovery I have published the same book twice on kdp select but with different covers. One looking more professional than the other.

Even this one that is causing draging dragging now... I will still use create space to design a more professional cover which I will use on Amazon. It's unfortunate I will now have 1 book with 2 different covers on Amazon. I hope there is an advantage and no penalty.

So far no penalty... In fact both are causing bleeps on the report graphs at the same time.

Hello Gigs I am really impressed with this Amazon info, please keep it up, I want to go into it. I have one question to ask, did Amazon give you a particular amount you are to sell your books?

how much are you willing to pay?

EkoErrands:


My book lists for $2.99 so how much will you charge to buy and review ?

Today, I was able to get my EIN - Employer Identification Number.

This number will help you remove the 30% withholding fee on amazon.

What happens is that if you make $100, Amazon will withold $30 (that's 30%) for tax.

Now imagine making $1,000. And amazon keeps $300. Thats a lot of money. The only way to scrap this is to get an EIN and re-update your tax information. Today, I called IRS and got this EIN.

We're moving forward.

I'm in ph how do I get your training material

This thread is about Kindle publishing not adwords. Sorry.

But it's actually easy...Just go to www.google.com/adwords

Note that activation means adding a payment method, that is how Google will charge you if you run an ad

bros1234, Hope you are good? Pls I'm yet to get your feedback. I sent you PM then.
