Become a Kindle Author…
Become an Author-Become an Authority
Why write a book?
Whether you are a professor in an ivory tower university, or a coach, entrepreneur, speaker or online marketer, having a published book is one of the fastest ways to establish yourself as an expert in your field. Any professional who needs to connect with a market for his/her services will immediately have a competitive edge as a published author. The word authority evolved from “author” long ago, because of the traditional respect that we attach to someone who has written a book. As we continue to move into a world that wants to click through websites and information at a dizzying rate, writing a book has also become a more appreciated tool, where we can connect with our audience long enough to present our message.
The results of being an author and seen as an expert are considerable:
-
Credibility in Your Niche
-
Name Recognition/Platform Recognition
-
Speaking Invitations, Media Coverage
- Influence and Innovation of Ideas
-
Marketing Tool/Competitive edge in Business
-
Promotional Tool That Increases Perceived Value to Customers
-
Positioning Tool That Increases Perceived Value to Business Partners
Why Sell Your Book on Kindle?
Going through the process of getting your book published and in book stores can be time consuming and expensive, and depending on the book can involve travel for book signings and other promotions. And the Kindle started out as a cool way to take your books to the beach. But recently, Amazon has become intent on gaining market share in the e-book market, by creating applications for PC’s, Apples, even IPads, and other mobile devices. You no longer have to have a Kindle to read your Kindle book, you can download it to your computer with the Amazon app. The Kindle is lower priced than it used to be, and sells in a variety of stores like Walmart and Best Buy. Amazon has set higher commissions for books priced between $2.99 and $9.99, and made it free for authors to upload their books. The overall effect is one that sells more books, and makes it faster, easier, and cheaper for authors to get their books to market.
I look forward to pulling together our friends and associates who would like to join a supportive community all interested in going through the Kindle book writing and publishing process together. Please sign in at the opt-in on the far right to receive your first free information about how to do it yourself for your own Kindle book.
P.S. I’ve turned on comments so please leave me your thoughts of what you would like to get out of this group, and what you can contribute. I am dedicated to making this as cost effective as possible, and leaning myself toward teleseminars so that we can all talk periodically. I can run these, and provide some free speakers, so that is what I would like to contribute, as well as provide the fruits of my research- so please sign up!! for that regardless of whether or not you want to participate in a group. Look forward to hearing from you.
