Top 10 Tips for Publishing on Kindle

An Opportunity to Reach Millions

Did you know that in March 2011, Amazon announced that it was selling more digital books than print books?

Kindle provides an amazing opportunity to reach millions of consumers, just waiting to read your content.

Tip #1: Do Your Research

One of the biggest keys to success on Kindle is to sell content that is in demand.

Always research topics and find the right category to sell your ebooks.

Tip#2: Follow Formatting Guidelines

Kindle has specific formatting guidelines, so make sure to follow them to get more assured acceptance of your work.

Tip #3: Grab Their Attention Right Away

Kindle takes the first 10% of your content and offers it as a free sample. Make sure the first few pages of your ebook grab your audience’s attention and makes them want to read more.

Tip #4: Professionally-Designed Cover

According to Kindle, your cover should be at least 500 x 800 pixels with an ideal height/weight ratio of 1.6. It should also be saved at 72 dpi for optimal viewing.

Don’t know what that means? Get a designer’s professional help.
