silvoice: I need to correct a misinformation in your comment. epub not epup is an eBook file format just like mobi, pdf and the rest of them. There's no need to convert doc/docx files to mobi/epub/pdf to upload to Amazon. Amazon does that for you automatically when you upload a formatted word file. 1 Like |

Dolypson04:you are welcome. Remember all the information and question you seek has already been answered. My advice is to screenshot any info you find noteworthy for later use. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by silvoice(m): 12:46pm On Oct 16, 2016 |
ferhyntorlah:sorry, is typo-error: epub is right. Now let me teach you about "epub" meaning electronic publications. Online videos, images, books are called "epub.". It's. Not a file format. Many epub comes in the following formats: mobi, pdf etc. On amazon format, I agree that amazon accept doc/docx, rtf, and pdf files, however, the files are converted for you to mobi format, which is digital format for kindle readers. If you're publishing for createspace print on demand platform, no problem; but not best for KDP. When amazon converts your files, you do not have control of the final outcome of the page. But if you do the conversion yourself, you can tell exactly how you pages will appear on kindle reader. Do more research or download kindle reading app to see how the book you uploaded in doc format actually appear. We are all learning though, thanks. |

silvoice:Point of correction. Epub is a file format. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB) |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by silvoice(m): 3:01pm On Oct 16, 2016 |
[/b] twosquare:Hahaha. I guess you are referring to this: "EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension.epub that can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers. It is a technical standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum(IDPF). The term is short for electronic publication and is sometimes styled ePub." On wikipedia abi? Would you also say that their is an "ebook file format?" Generally speaking, yes, there is an ebook file format, but technically, no such format exist; just like epub. Rather. Epub is a term used by IDPF to describe files that can be read through e reading devices like kindle/nooks, ipad, android etc . Continue your research, cos I stand to be corrected. |

For up coming kindle authors, send your book title, subtitle, photo (if any) and authors name, let me design a professional kindle cover free of charge for the first three. I will also send u updates of my kindle book sales so u know amazon kindle is serious bizness. Since the ban on Naira Mastercard for international business, I depend on my payoneer card and income I make from amazon. I have paid for WES Certificate Evaluation (245 Canadian dollars) for a client planning to migrate to Canada, whose Naira Mastercard was declined, I buy things like Wrist watches (with working chronograph), USB led (lamp), power banks, T-shirts and shoes on aliexpress and sell them (note: things are cheaper on aliexpress than Jumia and Konga, but it take btw 2 - 3weeks to arrive because I use free shipment), I have used my payoneer card to pay for a lecturer journal article to be publish on an international journal and got the naira equivalent paid to me. Why am I saying all this? U can make a living if u take amazon kindle publishing serious. For those that can't write, I will give u books (converted to kindle format by me) for N500 each and free cover design, this is just to encourage u guys. U can't make it on amazon with just one or two books, no way. I have 25 books already published on kindle and plans to make it 30 b4 next weekend, I have about 150 unpublished books, I just need to tidy them up, design covers for them, convert to kindle format and publish. The secret is keep publishing. Now the question is how do I get my books? This is a secret I share with only those in my inner circle. Keep publishing and the recession won't even bother u. You can make up to $50 USD on the average every month if u have more than 15 books without promoting ur book and this figure can go as high as $500 per month with paid promotions (e.g amazon promotion, google adword promotion or facebook promotion). I promote my books using free alternatives such as twitter. One of my secrets is to open a twitter account ( with "oyinbo man pix" make una no blame me o, man must hustle), search for kindle books related topics and I will comment about the book on a trending hash tag, then I will drop a link to my book on amazon, men it converts very well though not up to paid advert. Planning to do paid advert when I am through with my website where I have all my books plus their links to my amazon kindle store. I don't intend to promote individual books, but a link to all my books, that way, I will carry all my books along in the scheme of things. But for now, I am sticking to my twitter approach, and people who just come across my books and make purchase. I like it when I download may sales in Excel format and scrutinize it on the 15th of every month, and I love those emails from Payoneer that scream "You have received payment" at the end of the month. This is what I do and it's been fun. judeibro@gmail.com |

mk82: greetings. please, I opened account using the link you posted but I couldn't fill in my bank details because Nigeria is not listed among the countries there. even when I chose "others" option, it says that the option is not available. how do I go about it? thank you. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by ferhyntorlah(f): 10:57pm On Oct 22, 2016 |
silvoice: Thanks for the lecture sir. I don't really need to do any conversion to check the page outcome. All I'm after is to upload a formatted file that won't give any error. We are all learning though. Thanks again. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by bros1234(m): 3:30pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
DEGREE2466: Ignore the bank option for now and start uploading your books. Later you can apply for Payoneer and use the US Bank info that Payoneer gives |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by bros1234(m): 11:16am On Oct 31, 2016 |
Hi @mk82: It looks like I cant receive pounds and EURO payments via Payoneer. Cos the payment sent to me by amazon is not credited yet. Is that correct sir? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by mk82(m): 5:17pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
bros1234:The USA bank account provided by Payoneer works for all marketplaces no matter the currency. Each country's earning will be converted to dollars and paid to you. Sometimes there could be delays in payment but it is always sorted out within a few days. This month, I'm still waiting for payment from Australia and some European countries. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by bros1234(m): 8:27pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
mk82: 1. Thank you so much for the clarification. I am grateful 2. Don't know why I cant send out payment from my payoneer. Pls did u ever have that problem? How do u sell ur funds and wat rates 3. I'll send u a mail soon about that 30% stuff. I got it removed from my account. I'll wait until I receive payment to be sure then I will contact u. Thank you so much. |

UPDATE: This is my 3rd month in publishing in Amazon Kindle. Here is my updates so far. Total books: 20 Niche: My Personal Passion Month 1 (Aug) - $110 Month 2 (Sep) - $359 Month 3 (Oct) - $478 OCTOBER BREAKDOWN CreateSpace (US Marketplace) - $70.30 CreateSpace (UK Marketplace) - #8.33 KDP -US - $348.75 KDP - UK - #52.34 I ignored adding up the other ones and also counted the pounds as dollars, so that I don't exaggerate anything. So add the createspace earning and KDP earning, you'll get my calculation for Oct. LESSONS I have now proved that this works. It's now time to scale up into other niches. I have also improved my writing speed and skills so much that I can now write 5-6000 words per day. If you are still sitting on the fence, come on and give this business a chance. My major reason for considering this business model is that you can keep earning from these books for life. No more work on your part. Isnt that great? I hope I have motivated someone. I don't know if I will share further earning proof. I may or may not. Thanks to @mk82 for being a great open hearted leader. 3 Likes

You have indeed motivated some people like us. However, I want to learn from you, how come did you get 20 books within such a short time. Did you write all the books and if you did, how fast. Did you outsource some of your books. If you did, how much did you invest in your business. Again, give me your personal hint on niches. Outside that, if you can tell me things that will help me on Kindle publishing, I will be grateful. Then any other hint will equally help me. Thanks for your answers in anticipation. |

amazon is having a serious glitch at the moment since ending of september,. my sales and kenp read which normally 700-1300 is now flat lined to zero. many authors were affected and amazon is screwed up at the moment trying to fix it. as for the KU debacle, i think we are not properly monetized, if this scenario continues, i will be forced to go wide.http://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,242225.225.html ps. copy the full link and paste in your browser the highlighted do not reflect the actual link |

dtruseeker: No advertising yet. I will buy ads and create a blog around my niche but that is a plan for next year. I just write and upload. That's all. Pls know that I have some books that have not sold even 1 since 2 months. I have some that manage 2 sale a month, I also have some that sale at least 2 daily. I guess I just kept writing and editing and uploading. I believe if I was waiting for my first four books to make sales before continuing to write, I would have been discouraged. Cheers 3 Likes |

Immorttal: Amazon still controls 60% of the book market (ebook and paperback joined). I guess there's nothing much some of us can do, judging that Amazon makes it very easy for us to get started. Though I haven't been observant to notice this but I guess We'll just keep following until they can resolve whatever issue they have, cos, I don't make that much sales like you do (I manage to sell 150-200 books only) Thanks for calling our attention to it. |

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Immorttal: 9:31am On Nov 03, 2016 |
bros1234:lol,. I don't sell that much,. I have only two books and i sell about 300-350 books per month. My kenp is around 700-1300. Some authors do sell 5000 books per day though and kenp of around 300k daily, we will reach their level one day,. The key is to write a best seller and stuff it with ads, promos, mailing list etc. If truly the glitch has not reached your side then count yourself among the lucky few. I know they are working on it though. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by bros1234(m): 11:42am On Nov 03, 2016 |
Immorttal: 5,000 books per day? Wow. That means that this stuff is much bigger than I thought I am praying and believing God and working towards beeing able to sell 100 books a day, that's like 3,000 books a month. I know it's tall, but as I get better, both at marketing and at content, I know I will reach there...hopefully in 2 years time. And by the way, you are doing very well. 300 books with only two titles. I hope I could learn from you. I believe that if you have more books, you'll get past 1,000/month easily. Thanks bro and please do share your lessons with us, from time to time. Cheerio 3 Likes |
