IF you are a writer who want to expand your sales across the globe, Amazon is a popular idea. Firstly, there are more other popular websites you can also upload your books as Blurb, Kobo, Shopify, Lulu, Barnes & noble, but Amazon is one of the greatest monster in the online market, including books.
ok, so...
** You have to go to kdp.amazon.com , it is easier to open if you have alreadly an acount on Amazon, so follow the instructions, it is not complicated.
Then...
- Ebook or paperback
1.1 Kindle tools and resources: Amazon gives you to choice between uploading a book previously created and to create a book with their resources.
Personally I recommend to use their tools because if you do that, you will have the metadata provided by the kindle format, so that enable your book to automatically adjust if the user changes size letter, screen size, etc.
1.2 You can also put a book of your own in paperback.
2 Book Details: This is the general information about your book, Amazon ask you for information such as: authors, contributors, rights reserved, tittle, a brief about your book, etc.
- Content: You can include tags for searchs in amazon, categories and you specify about what is your book, so you also describe in a few words a resume about the content.
- Pricing: The cheapest price you can set to your book is 0.99 $ or equivalent. Well, if you want a promotion, there is also the option to set for an specific time your book by free. It is important to set in what online markets your book is gonna be shown, (UK, europe, US, etc).
Finally, wait for an approval and that´s it. It is important to set your bank account to get Amazon´s deposit of your commissions, Their rates depend in what country you sold it.
I hope you can expand your knowledge around all the globe.
Hope you Enjoy!!
