If your book is not intended for teens or younger readers, do not use this box in any way. If so, select each applicable minimum and maximum.
11. choose your book release option
Before you are ready to publish, you will need a marketing strategy unless you already have thousands of people waiting in line to buy your book. especially for a work that is nonfiction.
Media attention, book blurbs, early reviews, email lists, and other factors all influence book sales. This is crucial since it is far simpler to create that kind of buzz for a new book:
Do not publish first and figure out the marketing later.
Before you choose a publication date, make a plan for a comprehensive book launch.
Regardless of the publishing date, you decide on, for the time being, you can continue entering the details for your book by selecting "Save and Continue." Just keep in mind to revisit this and decide on a precise date before you release your book.
12. Select DRM rights
Make sure DRM is turned on.
Digital Rights Management prohibits copies of your book from being made and distributed for free.
People can still use Kindle's lending feature to temporarily lend a book to friends even when DRM is enabled. Simply said, they cannot steal it.
Pro Tip: Once you publish your book you can't change the DRM setting.
13. Upload your book
Regardless of the choices offered (such as pdf or doc files), convert your eBook into a properly structured epub file before uploading it.
Always utilize the most recent Kindle format to ensure that your book looks great on all e-readers.
Although formatting a book is difficult, doing it well is essential if you want it to appear professional. And compared to other eBook retailers, Amazon requires a somewhat different format for eBooks.
Upload an epub file here if you're ready to view how it will appear as an Amazon book. After loading the cover file, you can preview it.
Books are often judged by their covers. Whether you like it or not, this is unquestionably true, and a ton of marketing data supports it.
The cover design of your book must be professionally done if you want it to sell.
Avoid creating your own book covers. If you don't know what you're doing, even something as simple as the cover typeface might damage your cover.
Hire a qualified cover designer if you want to be taken seriously as a published author (and listen to them).
15. Preview your book
You can preview your book using the Kindle Previewer after uploading your manuscript and cover.
Use the "Launch Previewer" button sparingly. Install the most recent previewer app for Mac or Windows by selecting "Preview on your computer" instead. Then, by clicking the "MOBI" link, download and open your book file.
Take your time with your preview. Examine everything and test everything.
Verify the cover photo. Verify the navigation's functionality. Attempt each external link. Look at each and every page.
It's not enjoyable to read your own work over and over again, but that's the cost of self-publishing.
Why do "DIY" publications? Considering that you may self-publish a book and yet receive assistance.
DIY publishing refers to doing everything on your own. I don't advise it.
For a Kindle eBook, you don't need a publisher or an ISBN. You can leave them blank if you just plan to publish on Amazon.
If you want to proceed, select "Save and Continue" from here. Until you click "Publish Your Kindle eBook" at the bottom of the next screen, Amazon won't publish your book.
17. Skip KDP Select for now (You can add it later)
Your book can always be added to KDP Select after it has been released. However, you must leave it in the software for at least three months once it has been added.
The digital edition of your book must be exclusive to Amazon in order to qualify for KDP Select, which enrolls it in Kindle Unlimited and grants you additional marketing possibilities like Kindle countdown discounts.
Include this choice in your overall strategy for book promotion.
Unless there is a compelling reason not to, select "All territories (global rights)."
Once you're ready to publish it, this will make your book accessible in all of Amazon's international markets.
20. choose your royalty and pricing
Choose your royalties from a range of 35% to 70%. Most authors will benefit more from the 70% royalties. Although it appears clear, this adds certain pricing restrictions and results in a somewhat different royalty computation.
Decide on Amazon.com as your main marketplace before establishing the list price. Although currency rates will determine the pricing in other marketplaces, you can individually adjust each one if you choose.
Pro Tip: choose 35% because in this no delivery charges.
20. add the book to matchbook and book lending
These are your choices, but if you want the 70% royalty, you must sign up for book lending.
21. Click on Publish your kindle book.
