| Reserved for FAQ: Q: How is this WSO different from your other WSO on 5 Clever Fast Track Kindle Steps To Skyrocket your Sales? A: Many people have asked me about this question. Since both of these WSOs involve the use of the KDP Select Program, how are these 2 WSOs different? It's true that both of these WSOs involve the use of the KDP Select program. This WSO goes into DETAIL of how I use the promotion feature of the KDP Select Program. I do not go into the detail of how to use the promotion feature of the KDP Select Program in my other WSO. After you publish your book, you can enroll your book into the KDP Select program to get the results that I show you in the sales page. I analyze my 10 book case studies to give you STRATEGIES on how to get maximum profit for you books with pricing. When Amazon launched the KDP Select program, I already have 100+ books in my kindle bookshelf that allows me to do book testings. You now have the advantage of my results to skyrocket your kindle empire sales! More Testimonials are coming in: Quote:

I cannot open the zip file either.... get this error message: What is a .7z file and how do I open it? Skip This Info » Files with the .7z extension are very similar to Zip files. These files are compressed archive files, usually created by the 7-Zip file archive utility. UPDATE... I downloaded bitzipper and it opened the file OK. There were 2 PDF files. If there were other files, then I missed those. |

I have had a chance to go through Rosa’s report … Kindle Select Program Powerful Effective TRICKS To Tap Into The Kindle KDP Power To Skyrocket Your Sales! The download went smoothly and I used 7-zip to open up the file. It was delivered in .PDF format with 35-pages in length. The bonus was delivered in .PDF format and is 12-pages in length. Rosa is a very successful publisher that works with Kindle to make a living. The KDP Select Program is a recent addition to Amazon and does attract large quantities of folks that are looking for quality original content. One of the reasons is … You can't use Public Domain Kindle Books with KDP Select Program. She explains everything in a step-by-step manner with screen-shots that .......................... most everyone will be able to understand quite easily. She is sharing her strategy for the procedures to get your book ranked in the top 10 ............... which means your traffic will skyrocket along with your income. Rosa is sharing her experience as case studies so you can understand what is necessary to be successful. She gives a road-map to pricing out your books, so that your sales will increase. There is a complete analyzation of the 10 books that she has created and listed on The KDP Select Program. The bonus BOOK CHART TEMPLATES is great and will help to keep track of your sales and borrowed units. In my opinion, this report is very useful for anyone that is currently working with Kindle or is thinking of doing that in the future … plus it is very reasonably priced. All the best … Ron |

Rosa, just purchased from you. Since I'm on a Mac, could you simply email me the raw pdfs? That would be great. I'd use an easier zip file thing if I were you otherwise you'll get weird ticket requests like this one my email is lchiles at gmail dot com. Should be in your inbox. Thanks!

This WSO makes for a great complement to Rosa's previous Kindle WSO. The first was on Kindle ebook creation methodology with some marketing information thrown in to help one get the bigger picture of the Kindle publishing scene. "Powerful Effective TRICKS To Tap Into The Kindle KDP Power To Skyrocket Your Sales!" is straight up inside information on sales marketing for the Kindle platform in particular Amazon's newly minted KDP Select Program. We have the benefit of Rosa having gone through the trenches to acquire this information. Rosa shows how to get the best out of amazon's KDP program. Rosa uses 10 of her own Kindle books as case studies with before and after numbers. According to Rosa she went from like up to 6 sales a day per 100 books published (outsourcing is your friend) up to 6 sales per day per book using Amazon's KDP with her sales methods but to be fair I have to think the information from the previous Kindle WSO probably plays a factor with the popularity of the books with the KDP information which makes for a synergy that might not be there otherwise. Makes for a great one two combo. The farmer miner parable/analogy review from the previous WSO carries over to this one. This information is as fresh as you'll ever see because Amazon's KDP is brand new for Amazon. Ultimately with both WSO's after testing, tweaking and linking (not speaking of backlinking here, shown in first Kindle WSO) it could be set and forget as ones titles could be popular for years producing passive income. If one is new to Kindle publishing then I'd say getting the other WSO is mandatory. Yet even If one has popular titles they would probably still benefit from Rosa's first Kindle WSO as it's approach to book development is really novel. Kinda like Rosa teaching Judo to use on the 800 pound Amazon guerilla! Well, it's KDP Judo for a win win ![]() To Success wiscrown |

Ron, glad to hear that the download went fine. I was a bit worried about that. And yes, with the KDP program, the pricing strategies together with how to use the promotion feature play a big part in getting MAXIMUM REVENUE from Amazon. These are still early days so we need to see what happens next month. Thanks, Rosa | |

Thanks Wiscrown for the review. I wrote this WSO because of the questions people asked regarding pricing and how to make best use of the controversial KDP Select program. It does take some time to do the testing and experimenting to get maximum revenue. Yes, we want to get a win win situation ![]() Success to you too my friend, Rosa | |

Sorry don't know if this is the right pace to ask you! I just checked your last WSO "Kindle Steps To Success", and I was thinking about to buy it, read all the threads and didn't really understand how different it's from this one! Could you elaborate a bit more for me to make up my mind? Thanks Jorge |

My other WSO on Kindle Steps To Success shows you how to CREATE Your own QUALITY Kindle Book that can sell right away with your INTEREST NICHE in mind. I give you a JUMPSTART approach to find QUALITY content that sells and get people buying, and keep buying and keep buying. This method works! Believe me. We cannot saturate this method because we all decide differently from our interests and ingenuity. So if you have not had any books written yet, YES, go for that WSO and write your first book & see what happens. If you don't know what to write, I show you the procedure to create your Table of "Quality" Contents. This present WSO shows you my statistics and results of how you can MAXIMIZE your total Revenues with the Sales Units & Borrowed Units with 10 Books Case Studies. While there are a lot of talks about kindle, people are asking for something more concrete and solid so that they can emulate. So that's why I decided to use my 10 books as practical case studies to show people how this whole thing can be done. The pricing is important because you need to experiment how a wrong pricing can hurt your sales and a writing pricing can increase your sales! What is probably causing people's confusion is that both of these WSOs involve the use of the KDP Select Program that Amazon promoted in December, just 2 months ago. IT's the KDP Select Program that is giving us all these magic results! We need to make use of this golden opportunity now before Amazon changes the rules. IN summary: 1. Kindle Steps of Success - The Jumpstart to QUALITY content to rank your book high in Kindle. Need to start using the KDP Select Program for promotion. 2. Tap Into Power of Kindle KDP Select Program (Borrow & Promotion)- The End Result when you know how to use the KDP select program correctly with pricing strategies to MAXIMIZE your Kindle Revenues. Hope this is helpful, Rosa | |

Hi Rosa, Another great Kindle WSO you've got here. This fits perfectly with your first Kindle WSO, they complement each other very nicely. It was very insightful to see the before and after case studies from 10 of your own books on how to effectively use the KDP Select program to increase sales and promote your books. I can say that you cleared up a lot of questions I had regarding KDP and provided an explanation that I haven't read elsewhere. I also appreciated the pricing suggestions you gave along with the results you achieved. I highly recommend this WSO to anyone entering the Kindle marketplace. Excellent tips for optimizing the KDP Select program and getting the most exposure for your Kindle books in order to get more sales. Thanks Rosa! |

Rosa, I just purchased your WSO "Kindle KDP Power" eBook. As soon as I clicked on 'Access Purchase Here" on my receipt it automatically opened the eBook in PDF. I saved the eBook. I closed out the PDF and was returned to this thread. I DID NOT receive the second part of your WSO. How do I get access to the "Book Chart Templates"? HELP!!! Please let me know as I await hearing from you and accessing the "Book Chart Templates". No zip file was ever received. Just the eBook PDF. Thank You...noname2 |

The first WSO gives people a jumpstart to get pick their topic and write quality table of contents titles. After all the writing of the book is done, they need to use the KDP Select Promotion to get their books to rank high. Once that part is done, they now need to know how to monetize their books with the KDP Select Program because there are 2 features in the KDP Select Program. I know there are a lot of controversial talks on this topic thus this WSO to show people how to MAXIMIZE the potential of the KDP Select Program to optimize the Total Revenue in the Sales Units and the Borrowed Units. Pricing is very important to get the best results. My results are based on testing and experimenting the 100+ books that are already on my kindle book shelf so I have a little advantage in seeing what works and what doesn't. Rosa | |

**For EVERYONE: I actually updated a NEW BOOK TEMPLATE CHARTS yesterday for all previous buyers via the follow up in the aweber letter.** You don't really need to do your Kindle book sales & accounting because Amazon Kindle updates your Royalty sales every week and you also get a final excel report for the month of Royalty 2 weeks after the month is finished. The BOOK CHARTS are valuable because you want to keep track of the number of sales after you do the promotion. During promotion time, you don't get any royalty at all. But as soon as the promotion is over, the numbers will continue to go up, so you need to do some subtraction. I have never been good with numbers, but now I am forced to become an accountant to try to figure out how much I am making for these books during the month of January. And the numbers keep going up. So if you can keep track a bit and monetize your sales, you can experiment how long to do your promotion and what price is good for your books. Move it up $1 or move it down $1 and see which works better. Quote:
When I started, I didn't use that procedure. I was just doing it for my hobby niche. When you are new, you need to piggy back on others success, and once you get a few of your own books in, you can use your own books to jumpstart your newer ones. Soon a few months down the road, you have your own high ranking book empire. Probably by then, someone else will piggy back on yours. Quote:
But it's good that from the responses of people, I hear that Geoff, Johnny and James Jones and Jay Boyer are providing those kindle membership courses because most people need more detailed information regarding formatting, uploading, etc. I don't have membership forums, so you can ask your questions here. And I'll do my best to answer more detailed questions regarding pen names, formatting, uploading, public domain works, etc. Rosa | |||

Well, as I hinted in Rosa's prior WSO about doing a follow up, here it is. This is the perfect companion with everything you need to get into the kindle publishing world, full of what you need to get full marketing through exposure that will get you the traffic you need to make some serious ca$h. This information is great whether it is your own book, or you so this as a service for clients books. Great job Rosa, keep up the good work. Cheers |

I recently read that 10 of the top Kindle publishers raked in $70,000 from the KDP program - and that was just in the month of December! So you can bet I was interested in reading Rosa's report on how to maximize your profits with the KDP program. In the 40 page PDF, Rosa explains how to use the KDP program to your advantage. She gives case studies and easy to follow tips on maximizing your success with the program. She is also quick to answer questions sharing her experience with Kindle publishing. Considering the low price point of this WSO and the upside potential, this is well worth the read. |

Hi Rosa, I have both of your kindle WSO's and wanted to post quickly about my results after using one of your techniques. This is my first book on Kindle and so far on the first day of promotion using your suggestions I've had 240 downloads plus I'm appearing in the #3 position and #10 position for my categories in the free section. This is just the first day so I'm really curious to see what happens in the following days. Thanks for the tips , it's really exciting and fun to see results so quickly! |

Hi PianoRosa! I would have PM'ed you but I don't think I can yet. I've been on WF long time now but still not enough posts of my own. Just want to say I picked up this WSO last week and it is GREAT! Very actionable and it works! Also...a bit off topic -- today as I was perusing the Amazon Kindle store I picked up a free copy of your Piano Instruction ebook....and it's awesome!!! I used to be a beginning level piano teacher (I only taught children ages 4 to 9, because I didn't think I was even good enough to teach piano except for "Level A".) Even formerly making it as a piano teacher, I never learned or understood how the chords work together...and within 1 hour of going through just half of your piano book I was playing the first two songs like an improv pro! So just want to say you touched my life in two ways...with your WSO and with your Kindle piano book. Thanks I almost feel like we're old friends...and I will be purchasing your video piano instruction from your website soon! Thanks! |

You are so smart and found my hobby niche - both my website and the kindle store. Piano is not really a hobbie niche and the difficult thing is that I want to insert VIDEOS into kindle because learning piano without videos loses half the fun. Still investigating what is possible at the moment. I had always wanted to IMPROVISE but never got someone or books to teach me. So the path to learn to improvise is learning how chords work, chord progression and to play a bit by EAR. (Those are the secret steps!) Looking forward to hear from you again, Rosa P.S. I never thought I would get connected with piano lovers here in the Warrior forum. When you go to my Piano Website scroll down to the bottom where there is a Student Forum, there I give free online support to my students & for them to meet other piano friends. When you register, write back to me to give me your username so that I can approve you. | |

I was lucky enough to receive an advance review copy of this guide. The following is a slightly edited version of the review from my freelance writing blog... Rosa Suen has prepared a concise, screengrab-illustrated guide for Kindle e-book authors to making (more) money from the KDP Select program. For those who don’t know, KDP Select is a new program allowing authors of Kindle e-books to earn money by allowing their titles to be lent out to US Amazon Prime customers (though authors don’t have to be US-based themselves). Such customers are allowed to borrow one Kindle e-book free of charge per month under the program. Obviously, authors don’t get any royalties from this, but Amazon has set aside a substantial fund which is shared out every month according to how many times each e-book has been borrowed. With low-cost e-books, your earnings per loan are almost certain to be higher than your royalties per sale. The KDP Select Program has been the cause of much discussion among Kindle authors, with some contending it offers a poor deal for authors - largely because, if you want to take part, you are barred from selling your e-book digitally through any other outlet (e.g. Smashwords). Rosa is the author of around 150 (non-fiction) e-books, however, and she shows clearly through her own sales figures and earnings that the program is working very effectively for her. One key aspect of the advice concerns how to use the opportunity available to KDP Select authors to list their e-books free of charge for up to five days per month (consecutive or otherwise). With stats from ten different e-books, Rosa clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of this strategy for generating interest in an e-book and getting it into the Amazon best-seller lists. She compares sales generated (on non-free-promotion days) with loans per month, and shows the total earnings in each case. She discusses how she intends to refine her sales and pricing strategy to maximize her earnings from each title. She also sets out what she has discovered about the best price points for Kindle e-books. I found Rosa’s systematic approach to marketing using the Kindle Select program impressive, and the specific examples very enlightening. The guide doesn’t actually tell you anything about devising or writing Kindle e-books - although Rosa does have another report, also available as a WSO, which covers this subject. If you’re a Kindle author and have been wondering whether to take the plunge with KDP Select, I highly recommend this modestly priced guide. It may not have all the answers, but I guarantee it will give you lots of food for thought. It also demonstrates a systematic, math-based way of analysing the returns you are getting from applying Rosa’s strategy and fine-tuning it to boost your profits still further in future. Incidentally, along with the report you also receive 10 charts (plus one already filled in as an example) to help you apply the strategy to your own titles. |

Hi Rosa, Good news! Since the free promotion I did a few days ago I already have 6 sales of my book. Also I am ranking #39,576 in the paid Kindle store. I think this is a great start! Thanks again for sharing your strategies. I'll keep you posted |

It is actually very easy to make money once we get the system going. The key is FOCUS. While this one is selling, you can now create your second one (hopefully in the same series if possible). And all these little books add up. When the sales slows down, do another day of promotion. Remember to record your numbers so that you can keep track.This is exciting for me to watch, Rosa | |
