how to publish on kindle
TRANSCRIPT
With the surge in the popularity of eBooks on the popular Amazon Kindle platform, there has actually
been an increase in interest among self-publishers and Internet Marketers to catch the wave. I've been
getting more frequent e-mails regarding one system or yet another that promises to make creating and
publishing eBooks on Kindle a snap.
How to publish on Kindle
I chose to investigate this potentially rewarding industry; specifically in lieu of Amazon's rise in the
tablet/eBook reader market place. Amazon is the largest publisher of eBooks and has sold over six
million Kindles. It's apparent to me that electronic book readers are here to stay. They are handy devices
and the purchase price is becoming more affordable with each revision of the Kindle; as low as $159.00.
Publish on Kindle
Because I travel a lot, eBooks are convenient and pragmatic. The days of stuffing my suitcase with my
favorite books is over. Besides who wants to pay an extra premium because of overweight luggage? So,
I've become one of the millions of people who now has a tablet full of books downloaded from Amazon.
Kindle self publish
But more to the point, I've been considering publishing some of my own eBooks to Kindle. They include
a few short stories as well as some I.M. Guides I have written over the years. My favorite places for
publishing my PDF eBooks was Scribed.com or DocStoc.com. But these websites don't allow for direct
monetization. I use them more for getting free traffic, back-links and list building. All that can be
achieved publishing on Kindle and a lot more.
The Big Problem With Kindle eBooks Is Formatting
Formatting for Kindle is not as straightforward as converting an MS Word document into a PDF. Amazon
for instance has its very own code for Kindle eBooks.
Recognizing this, a few months ago, I purchased a set of inexpensive Kindle templates that were
supposed to show me how to format my MS Word documents for Kindle. The results were disastrous to
say the least. Trying to get the Table of Contents formatted properly to link with the interior pages and
getting my graphics to align properly was a total pain in the butt. Frustrated, I put the whole thing on
the back burner.
But, I've been on the look-out for an affordable Kindle publishing system that does all the heavy lifting,
and I think I may have found one. It's called Kindle Ritual from respected Internet Marketer Brian G.
Johnson. About 4 months ago I watched Brian in a Webinar talking about his experience with publishing
on Kindle and the potential for real passive income. At that time he was just getting into it.
Now after months of experimenting and publishing his own eBooks on the Kindle platform, Brian has
developed a software that overcomes the major complaints most people have about Kindle publishing -
formatting the content and images so your final product looks professional. Moreover, the software has
to be user friendly and something that even newbies without technical experience can benefit from.
Given that if you are reading this article, you've probably been given Kindle publishing some thought,
Kindle Ritual looks like a winner. I'm basing this on the preliminary information I've been able to find and
my past experience with Brian Johnson's products; which I can report was very favorable.
My interest in Kindle publishing and my quest to find a decent software product has motivated me to
actually create a Kindle publishing website and to write a review of Kindle Ritual. The release of Kindle
Ritual was pushed back from September 20, 2012 to October 2nd.
My strategy is to buy the item, use it to create and publish one of my own eBooks and then report the
results as a user.
