Publisher's Summary:
Indie Author's Toolbox was written for new and experienced authors alike. It's a guide to optimizing your book for Kindle, but - it doesn't stop there.
Too many authors look at Kindle as the final destination for their books. They're so caught up in optimizing their book for Amazon, running KDP Free Days, Countdown Deals, and cycling prices that they forget - millions of people have never bought a Kindle book, let alone any kind of eBook.
It's true - Amazon is the big kid on the block. The best estimates are they have 65% of the eBook market in the United States. But if I understand math, that still leaves 35% of Americans who enjoy their eBooks served up in a different flavor.
Can you afford to pass those readers by?
Apple's iStore is the second biggest eBook market in the world. Kobo is a major force in Canada, and many other countries. Barnes and Noble still holds over 15% of the eBook market.
Psst! Do you wanna know a secret?
There are no secrets. No tricks. No magical incantations you can invoke to sell more books on Amazon, or any other online book site for that matter.
Selling more books is all about how you manage the basics.
It's about:
If you can do these six steps well, your book is going to sell. Misfire on any of them, and you're going to have problems.
But, that's only half the battle. If you're ready to sell more books both on and off of Amazon, buy this book and get started - today!
Members Reviews:
An excellent source of real-world stories from the front lines of self-publishing
I liked this book a lot, especially since I was fortunate enough to randomly find it for free in the Amazon top 100 free books list on the very first day I had ever looked in that list. How strange is that?
The authors writing style is very direct and down-to-earth. He is not scared to state his opinions, and provides reasons why. The book is well-written as far as formatting and grammar are concerned, so no worries there.
The book seemed to have three major sections â one on Amazon Kindle stuff (writing your book, and promoting and using Amazon tools), one on non-Amazon Kindle stuff (CreateSpace, Kobo, Smashwords, etc), and one on interviews with other authors.
I think the biggest strength of the book is the stories that the author tells from the front lines â of his own experiences with writing and updating his books, promoting them with various promotion methods, etc., of other peopleâs experiences that he has heard of, and of course the four big interviews with popular authors at the end of the book.
I really liked all those front-line stories because they are real-world stories. If it was my book, I might change the title to âIndie Publishing Stories from the Front Lines,â to more accurately reflect what I think is the main strength of the book.
Having said that, a big chunk of the book is devoted to leaving readers through the book sign up and promotion aspects of non-Amazon websites such as CreateSpace, Smashwords, Kobo. This information was appreciated because it educated me about the processes (and sometimes results stories) without investing the time to go to the websites and figure it all out for myself.
