Kindle Publishing Questions Answered (Part 3)

by

KDP LogoOnce again, I’m answering another collection of Kindle publishing question that I’ve received from readers.

If this is your first time here, then you’ll want to check out part 1 and part 2 of this series.

What started out as a long blog post has evolved into hundreds of excellent questions that I’ll answer now and throughout the New Year. (I’m even thinking about starting a YouTube channel around this concept.)

Today’s post includes a mash-up of the different questions I’ve recently received. Some relate to topics I’ve partially covered and others go into strategies that I haven’t previously discussed.

As always, we’ll start with the “3 Golden Rules of Kindle Publishing.” If you’ve read this section already, then feel free to skip ahead to the good stuff. But, if this is your first time here, I recommend you check out the following because it provides a background on why I make certain business decisions.

How to “Launch” a New Website with a Free Kindle Book

by

Welcome to another update of the Authority Internet Business case study.

So far, we’ve talked about how to lay the foundation for a successful website.  In today’s post, we’ll shift gears and take that first step towards monetizing this brand new business.

Whereas most Internet experts recommend spending months preparing for a formal “website launch,” I like to start promoting as soon as possible.

Specifically, I recommend Kindle publishing as the perfect mechanism for getting that initial burst of traffic and income.

To illustrate this point, I’ll detail the specific strategies I used to launch my first book on Amazon.  Plus, I’ll provide exact numbers and an important lesson I learned during this process.

Let’s get to it.
