Full time Kindle Income??

Yes, lots of Kindle talk!

If you fully focus on this method, im sure you can make a full time income from it...

Else you can take it as a knowledge and make some side income from it...

It takes 60 to 90 days to actually get paid from Kindle publishing. That means the people who started working it in earnest this summer - after the great PLR shakedown - are now getting their cheques and seeing real results. And I know a LOT of people who said "my goal this summer is to get some stuff published on Kindle."

A few people are doing a very good job of reverse-engineering WHY Kindle publishing is so lucrative, but they're generally sharing that in coaching groups and not selling a "make money on Kindle" WSO. The only such WSO I have heard really good things about is "Kindling," which runs $77 and can probably be found with a search of the WSO forum.

(I don't actually have "Kindling" and can't speak directly to its quality or content. I have older Kindle training materials from twenty or more people, most notably Teresa Miller and Tanner Larsson. However, "Kindling" is highly recommended by several of my Facebook friends.)

It's worth noting that some of my big-player buddies are very much against publishing anything sizeable on Kindle, because it's a bargain market - they suggest that anything which could be a physical book, should be a physical book. I don't have a particularly informed opinion on the matter, but I see their reasoning (Kindle books over $9.99 are generally frowned upon) and it appears sound.

As far as a combined "system" goes, I would lean in the direction of publishing a series of 10-15 Kindle shorts at $2.99, then collecting them into a single published volume at $14.95... this seems like a good way to get the best of both worlds. Premium charge for early access, but a low charge... and once it's enough to make a printed book, you pack it up and make it one.

But that's just me speculating. I don't self-publish anything at the moment. I'll be doing that Real Soon Now(TM), but content comes first and I'm behind schedule.

The people who do best with kindle are a)those who have estabilished names already and a backlog of books -- for instance, authors who have been around a while and are now publishing the work on kindle. This even goes for fields such as romance novels. I know one author who owned her own rights -- her company didn't see the value in the kindle, so she self-published and earns more than she did in her day job.

b) people with a lot of kindle titles.

there are other ways to make money, but it's a numbers game, really. Provide something people want to read, and find a way to repeat the process, and you've got a viable business.

Kindle is awesome. If you have complete idea about kindle than you would make lots of money. I think you should take it seriously. Because at the end of the day money would lough and play.

Kindle is the future, well on my way to make $1000 in my first month and I expect much more to follow! It's free and easy to research yourself, not to mention it gets TONS of free traffic.

Can't speak highly enough of KDP

Anyone have a nice way to automatically monitor your niche on the Amazon Kindle marketplace? I was thinking of maybe using Google Alerts, but it would be nice to track price changes, and even changes in sales.

Kindle publishing can be quite lucrative, but it is certainly not an instant full-time income. It is a content platform, and like other content platforms, has it's pros and cons. Digital content delivery is not going away anytime soon, and many people are making Kindle publishing part of their business plan, just as many people are making an income solely publishing to the Kindle platform. There are a wide variety of ways to make Kindle publishing part of a business plan.

I think that I would starve if I depended on my kindle income. That said, publishing on amazon is easy. KDP costs are zero. Still, few book will sell any. If you do not believe me... then jump in. Hard to establish yourself against a seas of authors most who are big names. They were big back in the paper era. Like I wish kindle did allow us to promote our work more.

I reached full time income levels with Kindle in January 2012. I started publishing there infrequently at the end of 2008. I own a publishing company and 2012 was the year I decided to shift my focus from websites to books. It's paying off nicely

Like any other business, how fast and far you go depends entirely upon the effort you put into it.

I'm a member of the Kindling group and it's definitely a good resource. But before shelling out $77 do yourself a favor and pick up John Locke's book on Amazon, How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months. It's $2.99 and gives a really good overview of what it takes to get up and running.

You'll find many of the guides saying fiction is where it's all happening. I believe Amazon sells far more fiction titles than nonfiction. But that's not to say the right nonfiction won't sell. It will. This Kindle revolution as people are calling it has been the boot in the butt I needed to get into writing fiction full time (except for the time spent marketing and promoting), something I've wanted to do for years.

I published several short stories along with a couple of full length novels very recently. But like anything in business, product is one thing, marketing and promoting it is another. It's interesting though, I've promoted two titles and have gotten a pretty fair response. But I've had many more sales from one I just put up there with absolutely no promotion. One can never tell, I guess...

I love the kindle I have a few books out there and they sell ok I will soon enough get some more books out....
