Here’s a video from the way-back machine that’s still relevant today, so I thought I’d share it with you.

In November of 2012 I was fired up about Kindle publishing, so when I ran into Jim Palmer at the GKIC InfoSummit, he asked if he could feature me on NewsletterGuru.TV.

While Kindle publishing has certainly changed a lot in the last 18 months, the information I share in this video is as true today as it was then.

6 Things Authors Should Know About Kindle Publishing:
- You don’t have to own a Kindle to publish Kindle books, or even to read a book that’s been published on Kindle. Kindle offers software that can be installed on your PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android phone or any other device or tablet.
- All it takes is 40 pages to make a Kindle book – and that’s the equivalent of about 1 hour of audio content.
- The 3 most important factors in driving sales of your ebook are: your cover, your title and your description (with your description being a distant third). Note: Reviews are also super important, but I didn’t mention that in the video!
- With Kindle, it’s realistic for authors to earn several hundred dollars or even several thousand dollars per month – nothing to sneeze at! – and a lot more than with most traditionally published books
- When you include an optin in your Kindle ebook, you can expect anywhere from 15-30% of your readers to opt in. In case you’re not an experienced internet marketer, that’s a fantastic front-end conversion rate!!
- Fiction authors don’t need to concern themselves with SEO. Non-fiction authors should consider putting keywords in their book’s tagline, or subtitle.
