I have believed for a while now that every blogger should try their hands at Kindle publishing at least once. Kindle books are about as passive as it gets, because once you publish it, Amazon will continue to try and sell it to interested customers forever. The books require very little to no maintenance, and publishing more and more books is a great way to grow your income over time.
As bloggers, we have a huge advantage over everybody else, because we already have a lot of experience writing. We already know how to effectively communicate ideas. We already know how to make our writing exciting and engaging. Most of us are great at selling as well.
This means that if somebody like us started publishing on Kindle, we’d have the upper-hand.
I have decided to take the time to create a course on Kindle publishing because I believe it is such an exciting opportunity for writers. Many people do not know this, but I actually run a Kindle publishing business on the side. I started out writing 12 mini eBooks myself, and published them. Since then, I have taken half of the income the books have made each month and outsourced more books. Today, there are over 100 books published under my Kindle account, selling copies around the clock.
While outsourcing is certainly something that can speed up the process, this actually isn’t the focus of my course. One of the great things about Kindle in my eyes is the fact that you can start making money from it without having to spend money. Instead of focusing on outsourcing as many other courses do, this course teaches you how to do everything yourself, from choosing a topic to driving sales, all without ever paying money out of pocket. If I had more time, this is the way I would go about it simply because you have so much more control.
Here is the list of lectures that will be available in my course. As always, I continue to add lectures to my courses based on student feedback, questions, and ideas, so consider this list to be incomplete:
