    --Find your main keywords.
    --Choose one main hub to promote your book (self hosted or not).
    --In your main hub make articles for each keyword.
    --Link from each article to your product, and to each other.
    --Promote those articles by all means possible that work for your mindset.

    Rinse and repeat for other types of media (video, podcast, docs, mindmaps, presentations, images, etc).

    Hi Shi,

    Sandra offers good advice. I prefer blogging to spread the word for my eBooks. Fab credibility builder, because with a well read, respected blog, your eBooks become more in demand.

    Don't forget to do Kindle Select's 1 week free giveaway for all eBooks. Set it up in your KDP backoffice. Under promotions. Give the book away to all friends from your niche via email. 1 to 1 works so darn well. Also, promote across your blog and social channels. Free giveaways boosts your downloads, your Amazon rank, and if you ask for positive reviews, you'll boost 5 star reviews too.

    Giving away one of my books for free across a slew of channels - including a paid paid channels, found by my co-author - led to one of my eBooks being the #1 best selling free self help eBook on Amazon. People love a freebie

    All the best!

    Ryan

    I wrote a short story and I'd like to sell it on Amazon. I read somewhere that it must be long 3000-50 000 words.I also read that you must pay for putting your short story on amazon. I want to know do they take the money from your credit card or from the total sales of your short stories?

      I don't know how shorts work, so take this with a grain of salt. For what I heard, you are going to be better publishing your short as a regular kindle book. There is no lower limit for the number of words (that I know of, I COULD be WAY wrong).

    Try this:
    - Create a blog or squeeze page and offer the book for free as long as they review
    -- Be careful, you cannot demand a positive review on amazon, this is against the rules.

    - Set the book to free to get downloads. These act as "sales" even though they are free

    - Market and promote the blog post/squeeze page and get at least 100 downloads of the free book and hopefully some reviews.

    This is what i have read works. I will be in the same boat as you soon, as I want to start kindle publishing before winter.

    You can use Social Media Site to inform to your targeted audience more & more. It may a positive feedback to your book. Best of luck.

    There is a "Kindle" section on the forum that you can join. But for the most part, you have to market your Kindle book in the same way you want to market anything online. Drive traffic to it from outside sources. Amazon/Kindle has alot of daily buyers coming to their site, but you can't rely on that solely. How much does your Kindle book cost?
