Ready to publish your book but not sure how?

This episode of the 5-Minute Business Boost walks you through the basics of Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)—a powerful self-publishing platform that offers global reach, print-on-demand, and zero upfront costs.

Whether you’ve got a finished manuscript or already printed copies, this practical guide will help you understand how to:

• Set up your KDP account
• Prepare and format your manuscript
• Upload your files
• Choose pricing, royalties, and print options
• Start selling worldwide

We’ll also cover common concerns from first-time authors and why KDP is a game-changer for creative business owners.

Stay tuned for Part 2 next week: using your website to boost KDP book sales.
