How to publish an eBook on Amazon Kindle?

1
00:00:01,030 –> 00:00:03,659
Hi. Tomek here.
From Waiter to Millionaire.

2
00:00:03,726 –> 00:00:04,805
Warm greetings!

3
00:00:04,805 –> 00:00:09,088
In this video, I will show you
how to publish your book on Amazon,

4
00:00:09,088 –> 00:00:11,560
an e-book on Amazon Kindle.

5
00:00:11,590 –> 00:00:15,832
You will learn why it is so easy
and how it can be easily done,

6
00:00:15,832 –> 00:00:16,911
what tools I use,

7
00:00:16,979 –> 00:00:19,879
and how can you start
making money from such a book.

8
00:00:19,913 –> 00:00:21,262
Stay with me to the end.

9
00:00:21,329 –> 00:00:23,622
I will show you all my tools and methods.

10
00:00:23,690 –> 00:00:24,880
Here we go.

11
00:00:24,880 –> 00:00:28,250
How to publish a book on Amazon Kindle?

12
00:00:28,250 –> 00:00:31,479
I will start by telling you what
Amazon Kindle is.

13
00:00:31,513 –> 00:00:33,334
Maybe you’ve heard about Amazon.

14
00:00:33,402 –> 00:00:35,627
I think so. It is a very popular store.

15
00:00:35,728 –> 00:00:38,789
It is the largest
online store in the world,

16
00:00:38,813 –> 00:00:41,731
which offers products
mainly in America,

17
00:00:41,798 –> 00:00:44,631
but in Europe also, in the UK,
around the world.

18
00:00:44,699 –> 00:00:46,250
And it grows all the time.

19
00:00:46,351 –> 00:00:48,239
I hope it will finally be in Poland.

20
00:00:48,273 –> 00:00:51,970
All the more reason to know how
to publish such a book on Amazon.

21
00:00:53,938 –> 00:00:56,602
It is a huge market,
primarily in the USA.

22
00:00:56,602 –> 00:00:59,640
And you may have heard of the Kindle too.

23
00:00:59,920 –> 00:01:08,304
Kindle is an e-reader by Amazon on which
people can buy books through Kindle Store,

24
00:01:08,372 –> 00:01:11,740
that is Amazon’s e-book store.

25
00:01:11,800 –> 00:01:18,390
E-books are available for purchase
through Amazon from your Kindle reader,

26
00:01:18,390 –> 00:01:24,280
but also through apps on phones,
Android or any other system.

27
00:01:24,280 –> 00:01:27,897
You can even make purchases on
a desktop app on your computer.

28
00:01:27,964 –> 00:01:32,170
In short, Amazon offers e-books on
virtually every platform around the world,

29
00:01:32,170 –> 00:01:35,619
mainly in the USA,
where the market is huge.

30
00:01:35,687 –> 00:01:39,700
A lot of people buy there and they have no
problem with it at all.

31
00:01:39,801 –> 00:01:42,633
In our country,
this is no so well-developed.

32
00:01:42,735 –> 00:01:45,331
The USA is where
it is profitable to publish.

33
00:01:45,399 –> 00:01:48,737
You’re wondering how you can publish
a book on Amazon Kindle,

34
00:01:48,737 –> 00:01:51,010
because it seems perhaps difficult.

35
00:01:51,010 –> 00:01:53,430
This is not as difficult as it may seem.

36
00:01:53,440 –> 00:01:56,400
Of course, it requires
a little knowledge and tools.

37
00:01:56,400 –> 00:01:57,134
How to do it?

38
00:01:57,134 –> 00:02:02,597
You are able to publish a
book on Amazon Kindle within a few weeks.

39
00:02:02,698 –> 00:02:04,216
And then it is there.

40
00:02:04,216 –> 00:02:07,082
It stays there and is
virtually maintenance-free.

41
00:02:07,082 –> 00:02:09,420
And it can make money for you.

42
00:02:09,430 –> 00:02:11,196
You can publish various books.

43
00:02:11,196 –> 00:02:14,939
You don’t have to publish a long book,

44
00:02:14,973 –> 00:02:16,861
you don’t have to publish a novel,

45
00:02:16,929 –> 00:02:18,919
you don’t have to write a book,

46
00:02:18,919 –> 00:02:20,807
you don’t have to design the cover.

47
00:02:20,874 –> 00:02:23,168
You don’t really need to do anything else

48
00:02:23,168 –> 00:02:27,653
than just use systems required
to create such a book.

49
00:02:28,664 –> 00:02:31,800
It can be a
100 page long cookbook.

50
00:02:31,868 –> 00:02:36,480
It can be a smoothie
recipe book with 50 pages.

51
00:02:36,490 –> 00:02:38,781
It can be a book about dog breeding,

52
00:02:38,848 –> 00:02:40,570
it can be a book for adults.

53
00:02:40,570 –> 00:02:45,964
There are tens of thousands of
topics which you can use to release your books.

54
00:02:46,031 –> 00:02:50,348
And you don’t have to write such
a book by yourself. This is very important.

55
00:02:50,415 –> 00:02:53,390
How to publish such a book?

56
00:02:53,690 –> 00:02:54,990
I will show you now.

57
00:02:55,010 –> 00:02:57,920
The first thing is Amazon.

58
00:03:04,073 –> 00:03:07,445
Take a look at Amazon
to check what does it look like.

59
00:03:07,782 –> 00:03:10,041
Amazon Kindle Store.

60
00:03:14,763 –> 00:03:17,899
This is Amazon’s store
where these books are sold.

61
00:03:18,000 –> 00:03:19,450
Check it out.

62
00:03:19,551 –> 00:03:21,676
See how many books are there,

63
00:03:21,743 –> 00:03:23,632
what are the available categories,

64
00:03:23,699 –> 00:03:24,879
and the whole market.

65
00:03:25,014 –> 00:03:28,000
It is huge, and even more people
buy these books.

66
00:03:28,010 –> 00:03:30,980
Remember, you don’t have
to create a super book.

67
00:03:30,980 –> 00:03:33,290
A simple product would be enough.

68
00:03:33,520 –> 00:03:36,547
For example a book about preparing shakes.

69
00:03:36,547 –> 00:03:39,440
How to publish such a book?

70
00:03:39,440 –> 00:03:45,670
The primary platform is
Kindle Direct Publishing.

71
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:50,450
I will write here KDP.

72
00:03:53,307 –> 00:03:55,162
Links will be below under this video.

73
00:03:55,263 –> 00:03:57,388
Don’t worry, don’t write it down.

74
00:03:57,489 –> 00:04:00,760
You’ll check it out later
after watching this video.

75
00:04:02,176 –> 00:04:05,279
Kindle Direct Publishing
is a free platform,

76
00:04:05,346 –> 00:04:06,695
where you register,

77
00:04:07,032 –> 00:04:10,944
and through this platform
you are able to publish books.

78
00:04:12,225 –> 00:04:15,260
There, you put your file,
the cover and the book,

79
00:04:15,260 –> 00:04:19,003
and once it is put there
and it is approved,

80
00:04:19,003 –> 00:04:23,590
then within one to three
business days it appears on Amazon,

81
00:04:23,657 –> 00:04:29,070
and it is available throughout the entire
distribution network, worldwide.

82
00:04:29,070 –> 00:04:31,514
It looks like a pretty cool option to me.

83
00:04:31,616 –> 00:04:33,650
And quite a simple one.

84
00:04:33,650 –> 00:04:36,170
This book is available on Amazon.

85
00:04:36,170 –> 00:04:37,686
But how to get this book?

86
00:04:37,753 –> 00:04:39,473
Since you are not an author,

87
00:04:39,574 –> 00:04:42,440
perhaps you can’t write well,
especially in English.

88
00:04:42,542 –> 00:04:43,452
How to do it?

89
00:04:43,553 –> 00:04:44,700
Well, very simply.

90
00:04:44,767 –> 00:04:50,770
There is such a thing as,
for example, Upwork.com.

91
00:04:59,369 –> 00:05:02,303
A website where you can
hire people to write.

92
00:05:02,370 –> 00:05:03,888
This is only an example.

93
00:05:03,955 –> 00:05:05,810
There are many similar websites.

94
00:05:05,877 –> 00:05:08,305
This is a website where you hire experts,

95
00:05:08,373 –> 00:05:09,992
assign them your projects.

96
00:05:10,059 –> 00:05:12,622
For example to write a 50 pages long book.

97
00:05:12,640 –> 00:05:16,129
Of course, you can find there
people for various jobs,

98
00:05:16,196 –> 00:05:17,916
not only for writing books,

99
00:05:18,017 –> 00:05:21,850
but for example for proofreading,
to work as a virtual assistant.

100
00:05:21,850 –> 00:05:25,672
Here you can find a person who will write a book in English for you.

101
00:05:25,740 –> 00:05:27,763
It will cost you, for example $100.

102
00:05:27,864 –> 00:05:33,580
Of course, there are similar sites,
such as Freelance.com.

103
00:05:33,833 –> 00:05:38,622
Also, there are websites
for ghostwriters only.

104
00:05:39,195 –> 00:05:42,163
I will provide all links
below in the description.

105
00:05:42,610 –> 00:05:46,917
This is a general website,
where you can order your book.

106
00:05:46,985 –> 00:05:50,470
Another website is Fiverr.com.

107
00:05:54,437 –> 00:05:57,810
Here, you are also able
to order writing a book.

108
00:05:57,877 –> 00:06:02,430
Here you are able to order a description
for the book for the sale page.

109
00:06:02,497 –> 00:06:05,667
You don’t even have to write your
description of the book,

110
00:06:05,734 –> 00:06:06,948
to encourage purchase.

111
00:06:07,050 –> 00:06:09,916
You can order it here
along with ordering a book.

112
00:06:10,017 –> 00:06:13,340
And on Fiverr.com you are also able

113
00:06:13,340 –> 00:06:16,053
to order a cover for your Kindle book.

114
00:06:16,155 –> 00:06:20,437
For $5-10 they will design
a cool cover for you in a few days.

115
00:06:20,505 –> 00:06:25,428
Your task is just to
do a market research,

116
00:06:25,428 –> 00:06:28,598
browse some items,
decide what you want

117
00:06:28,666 –> 00:06:35,039
choose a book title, although they
can help you with that too on Fiverr.com

118
00:06:38,040 –> 00:06:40,333
You log in on Kindle Direct Publishing,

119
00:06:40,401 –> 00:06:44,110
you assign jobs to write the book,
design the cover, and you publish.

120
00:06:44,245 –> 00:06:48,030
Then this book is available
on Amazon to the entire world.

121
00:06:48,100 –> 00:06:53,283
It requires a little bit of
willingness and persistence.

122
00:06:53,350 –> 00:06:57,363
But you thought publishing
a book is difficult, right?

123
00:06:57,380 –> 00:06:58,720
Not necessarily.

124
00:06:58,720 –> 00:07:02,388
After a month of work,
you can publish even several books.

125
00:07:02,388 –> 00:07:06,502
And they will be available
on the global market,

126
00:07:06,502 –> 00:07:09,233
and they can really
make money for you.

127
00:07:09,335 –> 00:07:13,280
Is it really a necessity to spend
a couple of years in a college

128
00:07:13,348 –> 00:07:16,720
to get a low-paid job,
or is it better to publish your books

129
00:07:16,888 –> 00:07:18,102
for the world market?

130
00:07:18,102 –> 00:07:21,750
It is certainly an issue
worth thinking about.

131
00:07:21,750 –> 00:07:24,910
I have been in this for several years.

132
00:07:24,910 –> 00:07:28,860
I also publish paperback books,
which I will cover in another video.

133
00:07:28,995 –> 00:07:34,525
With these tools, you are able to publish
your first book in a month,

134
00:07:34,626 –> 00:07:38,100
and then learn and publish
several books in a month.

135
00:07:38,110 –> 00:07:40,865
You can also publish paper books.

136
00:07:40,865 –> 00:07:42,315
More on this later.

137
00:07:42,349 –> 00:07:47,610
And you are able to
reach customers all over the world.

138
00:07:47,610 –> 00:07:52,730
You may be wondering if you
need English to publish books?

139
00:07:52,750 –> 00:07:54,286
Yes, you do need it.

140
00:07:54,354 –> 00:07:57,793
But you need it in a really basic form.

141
00:07:57,861 –> 00:08:01,570
To sign up for Kindle Direct Publishing,

142
00:08:01,672 –> 00:08:05,381
to check out how everything works
on Amazon, Upwork or Fiverr.

143
00:08:05,482 –> 00:08:10,240
You need very basic English, which means
you probably already speak it.

144
00:08:10,240 –> 00:08:13,980
For example, are you able to set up an
email account in English?

145
00:08:14,081 –> 00:08:16,644
Set up an account
on any website in English?

146
00:08:16,745 –> 00:08:18,432
If yes, you are able to do it.

147
00:08:18,533 –> 00:08:20,792
Remember, no need to write a book,

148
00:08:20,860 –> 00:08:22,748
to write a description.

149
00:08:22,849 –> 00:08:24,603
to design a cover,

150
00:08:24,670 –> 00:08:25,985
to speak in public.

151
00:08:26,086 –> 00:08:27,874
You can do all this quietly, gradually,

152
00:08:27,874 –> 00:08:28,885
with the help of a translator,
by learning.
You can do all this quietly, gradually,

153
00:08:28,885 –> 00:08:31,853
with the help of a translator,
by learning.

154
00:08:31,954 –> 00:08:36,608
And remember that publishing your first
book will be difficult,

155
00:08:36,675 –> 00:08:39,190
as you will have to learn
some new words.

156
00:08:39,370 –> 00:08:41,498
I assume you know some basic English.

157
00:08:41,565 –> 00:08:43,926
It may be a barrier for you to cross.

158
00:08:43,959 –> 00:08:46,252
But every published book stays there.

159
00:08:46,354 –> 00:08:48,276
You will publish more books.

160
00:08:48,343 –> 00:08:51,581
The second one will take you
twice as fast as the first one.

161
00:08:51,682 –> 00:08:54,514
The tenth one
you will publish in auto mode.

162
00:08:54,582 –> 00:08:56,605
You won’t even remember its title.

163
00:08:56,673 –> 00:09:02,050
Keep in mind what a big leap you do
when it comes to the English language.

164
00:09:02,050 –> 00:09:05,580
If only you can keep up after releasing
your first and second book.

165
00:09:05,580 –> 00:09:08,104
The advancement in your
skills will be huge.

166
00:09:08,172 –> 00:09:10,802
With time, it will not be
a problem at all.

167
00:09:10,937 –> 00:09:15,591
This is a repetitive process,
and the key to success is consistency, persistence.

168
00:09:15,658 –> 00:09:18,730
And you can publish 10 books,
100 books in one year.

169
00:09:18,730 –> 00:09:20,670
And they will make money for you.

170
00:09:20,680 –> 00:09:23,549
Consider whether it is
an interesting model.

171
00:09:24,628 –> 00:09:27,023
