Kindle Publishing - First Try

Good luck mate ! Let us updated about your journey. More details can be useful for everyone
 
What type of site did you promote it on? I assume you have a related website?

We wrote the book based on a lot of the content from the main website (took the most popular content and collated it). Then put a banner up in the rotation (which is "costing" around $20/day in lost ad revenue). So we are using the website to promote a book about the website (if that makes sense!)
 
I think what he means is where is the bit about you've failed over and over again, and this is your last chance to make it big with your journey, and how on your last quid, your going to get to 1 million by next Thursday. Unfortunately what you have posted is totally realistic, achievable, and you have already seen the process through to a single bankable completion. So yeah, total disappointment.
 
I just launched a kindle book and a second book will be published in the next few days. However, I'm having tough time promoting and getting sales. 3 free days of free promotion (one day at a time) resulted in app. 200 free download and 1 five star review.
 
Exciting. You won't be using false tactics such as fake reviews right? With your income I doubt you need them.
Will jot down notes. :)
 
Let's just say you can never have enough reviews :)

Got'cha.......

Any update???
I know that the thread is three months old, but this is the reason why I am asking, what happened from then till now.
 
As journeys go, this one was incredibly short, but sweet. (I think?)
 
- Added a banner promoting the book on the main site in rotation with our other advertisers
- Ran a 5 day "free" promotion period with Amazon KDP

Is it all you did to promote the book? I'm having a hard time with promotion. Can you share any tricks?
 
Would love yo see any update on this? How is your promotion going, how many sales you hit daily? :) I'm just curious and planning to enter Kindle marketplace too in the future

Sold the site related to the Kindle book for $XXX,XXX a while ago now. I just looked at the book and still seems to be doing okay, still though.

You did what? XXX,XXX? Damn. That's pretty fucking awesome deal I think. Congratulations man, you really know what are you doing.
 
Wut ? wut ?


XXX,XXX ? Like in at least $100,000 ?

Wow, congrats.

More than $100k but yes. I did pay mid $XX,XXX for it, though, just built it up in the space of 12 months. The Kindle book added some nice profits, too!
 
It's a shame I never messed with Kindle that much. I have content just laying around
collecting dust in relationship to my authority sites. I should take pieces of the best
content and crank out a nice ebook for Kindle.

Looking forward to seeing this develop since I really need to perfect this and monetize
an asset just laying around.

Good luck with it man!

PS: One of my top authority sites is a how to type of deal so it shouldn't be hard to
arrange the content.
