Hello Everyone: I was looking to purchase a Kindle Publishing System. I was on the webinar last night with James Jones and Tanner Larson, who made his system available for $97. I will probably do this for myself and a client, so it does not have to be a simple program on how to get rich with PLR Kindle System. It is my understanding that one major problem is the formatting. So if you know of a WSO that does this I am all ears. If you have not used the program but you have really heard of a reliable one, I am open to hearing from you on this thread. It seems that the programs vary in price from $17 to $997. Thoughts on this Warriors? Charles |

Martin Avis gave instructions about how to format this in his free kickstartdaily ezine. Seems quite easy. Why a course?

Well I guess I was thinking of diversifying away from writing about small business lead generation. I'd heard that it was not a hot Amazon seller. Also, I'd heard there were some things that I could screw up and miss making money on the work I put in... But, if this is one of those things where I already have the knowledge, then maybe I can proceed without a course. CT |

I'm confused by the phrase 'kindle publishing system' - what is that supposed to be? My understanding is that kindle supports multiple formats (unlike iBooks which only supports EPUB at present), including .doc (Note: EPUB is easily (well, sort of easily) output by the $20 Pages software on a mac (and probably other things) if you follow their template and instructions exactly). |

Tanner's course covers both Kindle and physical books. Kindle formatting is not that much of a problem I write mine in Open Office and the make a pdf to send kindle. The course gives you several templates to format various sizes of physical books. At least that's my understanding. I didn't buy the course but though Tanner gave some great content for free at the webinar |

$97 is above the sweet spot, but the presentation had me convinced, plus it is pretty clear that this guy doesn't teach theory about this. I am leaning toward a yes, but don't fully know yet. At the same time, you never can tell whether something is going to be common sense to you even if isn't to others. I don't believe in returning info products because "I knew this already", so if I get it, I am just going to keep it. CT | |

Hi, I do know Clickbank sells several Kindle publishing systems from $8.36 up to $25.49 I am not going to provide my personal clickbank affiliate link- I have a bit more character than that. I would suggest purchasing the cheap one just to get the ins and outs on how to set up on Kindle- I am sure you already know how to create an e-book.I don't have any personal opinions on any of these products, because I don't personally promote them Hope this helps some. | |

Paul Coleman has a WSO around 10 bucks, and if you're a Warroom member, a free Kindle book there. I've read a few of his reports, they're very good. Might want to give it a look: http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...el-rights.html Michael |

Hi Charles, Amazon itself has a publishing guide here: https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishi...A17W8UM0MMSQX6 You can refer to the guide to format books yourself or get some Kindle formatting WSOs (just search for "Kindle") here which are mostly based on Amazon's guide. They just explain things in more detail and have illustrations. Formatting won't be a problem if your original source document (Word, PDF, HTML) was formatted correctly using styles such as Heading 1, Heading 2, Body Text, etc. Formatting might be a problem during conversion to Kindle format if the original document was formatted haphazardly, or has more complex items such as bullet or number lists, tables or images. I don't want to toot my own horn but I do offer a Kindle book cover design + formatting all-in-one service which a number of warriors have used and left good reviews. Just let me know if I can help with anything. Thanks. |

Given that Kindle Craze 2.0 is no longer available and that Kindle Cash Flow is designed for people with more money than sense; can anybody recommend a decent course on Amazon Kindle. By decent, I don't mean one that says "get PLR, publish it on Kindle, and become an overnight millionaire." I mean one that will go through the necessary steps of researching, publishing and marketing. |

I signed up last week for "Tablet Cash Machines". Although the live part doesn't begin till next week the videos etc are very detailed. You can get minimal access to their site at www.tabletcashmachines.com then click on 'contact'. So far I would recommend it and am looking forward to the course proper starting soon. There is a 30 day refund safety net and Jay Boyer and John Rhodes are well respected marketers. Hope this helps. |

WillClark is a warrior with several good kindle products in the wso section. I bought the one about marketing them, and plan on buying one or both of the ones regarding niches. He does not advocate using PLR. |

Hi Warriors, Sandy here.. I have some experience with uploading ebooks to Amazons Kindle Store. Unfortunately, I did what a couple of posters above said not to do. I uploaded PLR products. Boy, was that a BIG mistake. I had some extra time on my hands, so I decided to try to make some monthly residual income from Kindle ebooks. I changed the PLR products ecover design, descriptions, title, and a good part of the content. I uploaded about 700 ebooks in about 6 weeks. I was doing pretty good with monthly payments, until Amazon decided to slap the authors with duplication penaties. What they call, "Differentiated and Undifferentiated" Content. They told me by email that there was too many of the same things in the Kindle store. Therefore they were going to stop the sales of my "Undifferentiated" ebooks Out of 700 ebooks, they killed close to 550 ebooks. They emailed me if I didn't make them different to all the others already published, they would suspend my account until that happened. Needless to say, I wasn't about to spend another 6 weeks doing that again. So, here I am with no Kindle account and no more monthly income. So, in conclusion to this "Rant" , I agree with the posters above,DO NOT USE PLR when uploading content to Kindle. There will be so many of the same ebooks with same content that you'll get an email saying, "change it or else". Just my 3 cents Sandy Hall ------------------ |

That's quite an unfortunate story Sandy, but thanks for sharing the truth about trying to use PLR. It should have flashing red lights and be stickied for all to see. So many people are still trying to submit PLR. The thing is, if you take the time to create a new book and add some value, the rewards will last for years to come. And you only have to do it one time per book. |

I was trying to think of the Warrior's name whose report I read awhile ago. I got it in the War Room. Anyhoo, I finally remembered. It is Paul Coleman. Then I noticed someone else here, already mentioned him. His report is very good and well written. How apropo, lol. I don't have his wso, but if his freebie is good, I am sure his wso is excellent. Seeing how you're a war room member, you should check him out, if you haven't already. Best of luck. Tony Brayley. | |

Hi Charles, I watched a replay of the same Kindle/CreateSpace webinar today and it was actually fairly good and didn't cost more than a mortgage payment ![]() I took the time to take good notes and may actually buy it but I'm guessing I already know most of what is in it. Plus, I'm way too busy getting my project done right now. In a nutshell they talked about using PLR like it should be used as base material that you should pull apart and add your own content to once you do the proper research. Basically, use the PLR as a template or outline and fill-in the details using your own words. Isn't that how we learned to write in school? |

Amazon has really cracked down the past 6 months on PLR content (and rightly so). If you want to be successful on the Kindle, you need to right original quality content that would be worthy of being in a "real" book and you need to promote it heavily to move it up the list on Amazon and grow sales.

Jonny Andrews has a fantastic video training WSO now. It's selling for around $47 but is worth far more than that. I just bought it and can vouch for the quality. IT goes beyond most courses I've seen. If you buy now, he'll throw in the OTO free.

I just purchased : http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...anteed-22.html but I think it is closing soon. Although I am still working my way thru this, it is seems quite thorough, high integrity ( no PLR) and white-hat. Hope this helps. |

Jonny's system is, by far, the best out there. Unfortunately for you it looks like he closed it again. Next up, wait for Geoff Shaw's (Opoqo here) upcoming product Kindling. I have a copy and so far it's super! Buddy |

Hey Charles I purchased Geoff Shaw's (opoqo on this forum) Kindling WSO and I've worked my way through most of it now. I have to say that it's superb value for top quality information. I like the way that it is presented by someone who is very experienced at Kindle publishing. Simple, easy to understand and to the point. I've purchased a few Kindle WSO's and several of them were bordering on being useless. Another big name one was very good, but has taken me a long time to work through. Considering all of these, Geoff's Kindling is certainly the best and the fact that he is continuing to add content, means to me that he really knows his stuff and wants to give value. Just one tip in this WSO has saved me huge amount of time. I never bought any of his products before, but I can highly recommend this WSO. (This is not solicited and no affiliate link!) If you are looking to publish on Kindle, go buy this one! Best wishes. |
