Now it’s time to publish your work. Desktop publishing serves as one of the top options for people who want to be successful in the world of writing.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use the Kindle platform to publish your books.

1. Create an account – Sign up for an Amazon account so you can publish Kindle eBooks. Visit the KDP Amazon registration page.

2. Sign up for a “Listing Account”: Use your normal Amazon account to get a listing account. The system may ask you to provide more information based on the data you previously entered. You have to provide bank details so that you can receive the royalties.

3. Set the title: Once your publishing account is ready, you will be redirected to a web page called “Kindle Dashboard”. That web page allows you to upload your e-books and view sales reports. Click “Add Title” to publish a book.

4. Specify the details of your book: You must provide Amazon with detailed information about your book (for example, authorship, price, title, etc.). Don’t worry if you don’t have an ISBN code. That’s not necessary on the Kindle platform.

5. Assign Book Categories and Keywords: Amazon divides books into different categories. Choose one or two categories that best describe your work. Also, assign keywords for your book. Use keywords that potential readers can enter to find your product.

6. Choose a book cover: Amazon doesn’t require you to set up a cover for your ebook. However, a book with a cover is often more attractive than one without. The Kindle platform has guidelines regarding the book covers you can use. Please read the guidelines carefully before designing the cover of your work.

7. Upload your book – This is a simple process, thanks to Amazon’s intuitive interface. You will see two checkboxes on the screen, saying some things about DRM (eg digital rights management). You are unlikely to lose any money due to disabled DRM, so you can leave it disabled and just hit the “Find Book” button. The Kindle platform accepts these formats:

has. PDF

b. ePub

against HTML

d. Text

me. DOC/DOCX

8. Format and preview your work: You won’t have to worry much about formatting if your work has a basic structure (for example, typical novels or instructional e-books). Amazon’s default formatting system is sufficient to maintain the structure of the book. However, you should check your ebook carefully if it has a complex structure (for example, if it has many images).

9. Pick a price: Amazon’s system is tolerant of book prices. Set the price that is appropriate for your work and then choose 35% or 70% royalties. Please note that the 70% royalty option is not available for eBooks priced at $2.99 ​​or less. Also, the 70% option only applies to large markets (eg UK, US, Canada, etc.).

With these guidelines, it will be easier for you to get the most out of the Amazon Kindle platform.
