Top Reasons to Sell on Kindle - Is It the Ideal Business Model?

If you’re looking for ways to make money online, then it pays to think a little outside the box. Too often we focus only on building websites, on affiliate marketing or on selling services. But in fact there are countless other options, whether that means building an app for Android, or it means creating an ebook.

And creating an ebook to sell on Kindle might just be that perfect business model you’re looking for. Read on and we’ll look at some of the ways in which this is an ideal way to make money online…

Top Reasons to Sell on Kindle

It’s Easy

Selling an ebook on Kindle is a business model that literally anyone can emulate. As long as you can write and you have a copy of Word (even that is somewhat optional) then you can create a book and upload it to the Kindle Store. There’s no fee for becoming a publisher and it can all be done in an evening. The only hard bit is writing the book – but you can easily outsource this or purchase the rights to a digital product if you prefer.

It’s Efficient

Selling on Kindle is also efficient in as much as you can re-use old content and recycle your products. For example, once you’ve created an ebook for Kindle, there’s no reason that you can’t also sell it on Nook, on the Google Play Bookstore or on iTunes. You can also create a PDF and simply sell it from your own website.

There’s also no reason that you can’t create entire series of books reusing certain elements of your content. 

It’s Truly Passive

Making money online is a truly passive form of income. In other words, once you’ve uploaded your book to the Kindle Store, you’ll be able to continue making sales without having to do anything else to promote it. People will find it on the Store by searching and even if the book isn’t a hit, you can still find that this provides an additional source of revenue as occasional sales trickle in. 

There are many online business models that claim to be passive but almost all of them require some form of maintenance or ongoing promotion. Selling books on Kindle is truly 100% passive!

It’s Scalable

The fact that you aren’t trading time for money when you sell Kindle books means that it is truly scalable. In other words, you can take your effective business model and repeat it over and over again to drastically increase your sales.

So you’ve made money from selling one book. What’s to stop you from create another book and selling that too? And then another and another?

Even if all these books only make you $10 a week – once you’re selling 100 of them, that’s then $1,000 a week!

More likely though, what you’ll find is that most of your books don’t make that much money at all – perhaps they make you $1 a week if you’re lucky. But then you’ll have one breakout hit that drives sales for all the others up and that drastically increases your salary. This is a game of numbers and if you play long enough, eventually success is inevitable!

SEO Basics for Kindle Book Promotion

SEO is ‘Search Engine Optimization’. This is the process of editing a website and building links in such a way that it will be optimized for Google. This means building links (which helps Google to find a site and is viewed as testimony) and it means ensuring the correct use of keywords on the pages.  When done correctly, SEO can drive a lot more traffic to a website by helping more visitors find it through Google.  But SEO isn’t just for websites and it isn’t just for Google. There are many more search engines out there and many of them we don’t necessarily think of as ‘search engines’. Of course you can probably guess where this is going: the Kindle store is also a search engine. In order to find books on Kindle, customers will need to search for the relevant topics and then sift through the top results. This means you can still perform SEO for a Kindle book, in order to increase your exposure through that search tool and thereby to help more customers find you. And in some ...

Make Money From Kindle Cheat Sheet and Mind Map

In previous posts we detailed the precise process that you need to take to successfully publish to Kindle. There was an awful lot to take on board there though, so just to refresh your memory and to walk you through the process once you’re ready, this cheat sheet provides all that information in a condensed and actionable format! The Niche Choosing your niche is one of the single most important steps to ensuring your eventual success. What’s important here is that you pick something that is popular and has a wide audience but not something that is highly over saturated or that means you’re going up against competition with massive budgets and massive resources. So ‘fitness’ may be too broad and ‘curling’ may be too niche. But choosing a part of fitness (fitness for older men) or something like a specific industry or career can be a great option. Routes to Market The best niche will be one that gives you a ‘route to market’. In other words, you want to find a topic that will appeal to a...
