Three questions to ask before you decide to write a book:
1. Who and where is my audience?
2. How do I publish a book?
3. Am I writing for love of writing or MONEY?
The Answer:
The answer to the first question is that whoever your audience is, you'll find them on Amazon Kindle Books.
Second question: You can use the time tested methods of relying on yourself, an agent, or the vanity press. Or, you can publish to the Kindle platform.
Thirdly: The ONLY reason to write is for some form of remuneration. That is validation for the writer. Getting paid means that your words means something. Else, stick to your diary.
Kindle book publishing is the answer authors have been seeking since the days of the clay tablet model. Only Amazon could have brought it off. It takes a company that big.
Once you decide to write, and to publish to Kindle, then what?
At this point you have two choices.
1. Do a ton of research to learn how to do it from free sources on the net. Normally, I'd pick this one, but having gone that route already, I can tell you from my experience...forget it.
2. Pay reasonable money for the best Kindle course on the market so that you don't end up laying down a faulty foundation before you write your first word.
Expanding a bit. There is free information on the net about how to publish on Kindle starting with Kindle itself.
The Kindle folks will get you so far, but then you MUST go further. After this, there is plenty of publishing information, but no so much as you might think.
What I learned is that much of it is out of date, and nearly all of it is misleading. You CAN publish using what you learn from free tutorials, but more likely you will wind up disoriented, confused, and miserable. More, if you do put it all together, you're going to end up doing MUCH more than you have to, to get your book on Kindle.
If you're skeptical, try it. Go free info, then pro info. You'll find, in the end, that I shot straight with you.
The Solution
I learned early on about Geoff Shaw's Kindling course, but being hard headed went all over the place trying to get the info I needed for free. But I kept going back to his sales page. Finally, I amassed enough education to get published...I thought. After I had pieced everything together I said to myself there MUST be a better way! Then I bought Geoff's course. It took all of about five minutes of studying to see that I had made the right decision.
I urge you to visit my Kindle Publishing Review to learn the whole story and then go on and purchase Geoff's course.
Even if you are already published, it's in your best interest. The fact is that there is MORE to being a success on Amazon Kindle than simply throwing up a story or book. You get ALL the right information with Geoff's course. I use it. So should you!
