Do you convert your e-books into other reader versions for bigger profits?

Hi Swiitpea,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm selling this ebook that my friend created an epub version for. Right now, I'm only selling it through my site.

I'm also not familiar with selling through other devices; I was wondering if you can give me some tips to get started?

Thanks so much,
Michael

Okay, I'm gonna be brutally honest with you.

I was turned onto Kindle publishing almost exactly a year ago. It took me an additional month or so to actually act on it because, quite frankly, it sounded too good to be true.

But after researching to see how I could go about publishing on the Kindle using advice freely available on the internet, I just totally messed up when trying to format my Kindle e-book.

Then I paid for several different Kindle publishing products, most of them from WSOs. I paid anywhere from $5 to almost $1000 for products that would teach me the best way to make Kindle publishing work.

Almost none of them gave me the full picture (including the one that cost almost $1000, now that one was a humongous waste of my time and money, but that was my fault - you know what they say, "If it sounds too good to be true...")

So about 10 months ago, I came across one that finally led me to water and I hit success and profit with my first e-book.

And more recently, I have come across other Kindle WSOs that were worth more than their weight in gold, surprisingly (wish they'd been out a year ago).

If I had continued to try to learn on my own, it would have been a steep uphill battle just because there are different ways to position yourself in Amazon's Kindle marketplace.

You should also take into account that this was at a time when I just did not find much guidance online. Nowadays I think it would be a different story as Kindle publishing is so hot right now - I mean really hot.

I feel so lucky that I struck gold with my first e-book; however, I also write fiction for a hungry crowd. One of the best skills I have acquired (due to good guidance) was how to make sure there would be a good crowd to buy my books if I published quality material.

I took a look at your affiliate web site. Based on my interest alone and some of the personal coaching webinars that I was privy to due to the Kindle products that I bought, you are in a really good niche. Your e-book should do well in the Kindle marketplace. Again, this is just my opinion.

I have very recently come across a few courses that each costs a fraction of what I paid for my first worthwhile membership course (not the $1000 one) that would have set me on the right path, too, but much sooner. C'est la vie, Live and learn, etc.

The first worthwhile membership course that I took (it was less than $200) was not a waste of money by any stretch of the imagination because it also taught me how to publish for the Nook.

If I were starting today with Kindle publishing and could only afford free , I would click around at kindleboards.com for some feedback, experience, etc.

Use resources like kindleboards.com if you truly cannot afford a decent Kindle publishing product that will guide you with much fewer headaches.

You can also utilize the services at sites like fiverr.com to pay cheaply for the tasks needed to publish your e-book via Kindle.

I wish you all the luck and success in the world (seems like you are already successful, but you truly can do exponentially more).
