Self-publishing: Free Amazon Kindle eBook Self-publishing

This course was recently updated with 23 new lectures adding 2 hours of content explaining how to fill in every Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) field while publishing your content in order to optimize your sales on Amazon. This new content takes the course well beyond simply filling in some fields on a web form by explaining how I publish books to maximize profits. Marketing your book should begin well before you publish it, but how you fill in the KDP fields to define your book’s Amazon product page will determine whether your book blossoms or withers on the vine.

More content to follow soon.

Learn How to Self-publish on Amazon 

In this course I’ll teach you how to format a novel, novella, or short story using Microsoft Word and then how to publish the output of that process for sale on the Amazon website, the world’s largest bookstore, right alongside the big boys in the industry (King, Grisham, …).

View the Entire Process Over My Shoulder 

I know what you’re thinking… Brian, self-publishing on Amazon is so easy that anyone can do it without a training video.  Well, that’s true, however some of us like a little guidance along the way.  I’m ready to provide that guidance via screen captures of me formatting and publishing an eBook on Amazon.  We’ll even spend a chapter outlining how to create a simple book cover using the online KDP interface. 

In this course you’ll learn to use Word to: 

• Format you document for publication

• Include a title page

• Add a table of contents

• Review and save your work

Be a Self-published Author By the End of the Day 

After a few introductory slides, this course is meant to remain open while you jump back and forth between the live screen capture demonstrations and either Microsoft Word or your browser.  In other words, plan on publishing your first book within a few hours of viewing this video. 

In this course you’ll learn to use KDP to: 

• Publish your book

• Provide a book description to be displayed on Amazon

• Monitor sales

But wait, there’s more… 

  GreatClear and concise course with useful tips, thanks Brian.  —Anthea P (5 Stars)
