SEO apprentice I wondered if you could provide more information on selling books on amazon. Could you explain the steps involved? I would really appreciate it. I am currently working on a book, but I have no publishing experience at all. I am just writing about a topic that I enjoy. It is more an academic book than something like - "Exploding your Income to 6 Figures in 5 Days". Also, on amazon can you sell e-books and printed books? I know I would need to get an ISDN number first. Also once you get on amazon, do you then need to drive traffic to your product page on amazon? Also, I have dealt with clients like the OP. My advice to him is to go out and get a real job, he will never have success in business so there is no point in him trying.
inject00, First, finish your ebook or book. Second, get an ISBN number. I usually get mine here www.isbn4authors.com Then, read this page's info http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=1161234 For ebooks contact Amazon at and they are going to send you an e-mail asking you for all the info about your ebook and you will definitely need the ISBN number at this point. Finally, apply all your marketing skills to promote your book to the right audience and at the right time and you will do just fine : )
Start your website. Review your competitor’s prices. Allow users to download first few pages/index for free. Do search marketing to drive traffic towards your site. You can also start an affiliate program if you are really serious about it.
give it away for free, insert affiliate links into the book (not blatantly all over the place, just when appropriate) Get some people who have a nice email-list and let them give the ebook for free at your site This can be a simple site, a one page site. Like a direct selling site, have a complete salesletter, that way the visitors think they'll have to fork out money for it and be pleasantly suprised to see you giving it to them for free just a thought though
