    Follow along as the Profit Goblin tries to crack Amazon. I'll lay it all bare!

    So far I have one book up on the Kindle store. Today, I moved the price down to just 99c as I want to try to get a few reviews and sales before I run the free download promotion for 5 days. From all of my research having some good reviews by this point is pretty important to get the most out of...

    Guys: Kindle is the Ticket!

    I'm curious, a lot of the free ebook listing sites want you to have a few decent reviews first before they post your KDP Promo book out to their readers...are people generally waiting for these first after publishing a new book or just going straight in with the first promo anyway and hoping to...

    Thanks a lot, it's as much a journal for me to look back on so ill definitely be keeping it detailed. My bigger problem is I'm impatient and want all my books ready now so I can start promoting them. I'm probably going to focus more on fiction than non-fiction to begin with.

    Quick update on my journey now that I'm back from my holiday. Finished editing and tidying up my first book, a non-fiction offering in the relationships niche. I bought a $6 vector image from Shutterstock and proceeded to design a cover for the book in Photoshop CS6. Everything has now been...

    So far I've asked them to outline the plot and themes to me when they apply, within the genre I choose, then let them write their own material

    I'm currently sat in a hotel room in Portugal, so just a brief update.Wrote more of the short story today, now up to 4600 words so that is progressing nicely. Also, my ghostwriter delivered my non-fiction book and am really happy with the results. Will a need a little editing for sure but 90% of...

    I'll be selling via the Kindle store, using the Kindle Direct Publishing Program. Basically you agree to 3 months exclusivity to Amazon and they help you promote the book and offer it free for a few days each quarter, which helps get reviews and traction. After the 3 months period, there are...

    Quick update for today. I managed to write another 700 words or so of my fiction piece and got an update from my ghostwriter on the non-fiction book. That should be good to go back around Weds. Will need to wait until I'm back from my holiday before I can get it uploaded. Just started...

    Agreed - I'm definitely not convinced it will be where I need it to be, but worth a try. Another writer I find via their website looked very good and was looking for around 350 - they may well be my next option...

    I?ve made a good amount in the past from some of the traditional online marketing methods: Pay Per Click, SEO and Niche affiliate sites, as well as Youtube and Email List Building. But something I?ve never really dabbled in and I?ve been hearing a huge amount lately is the Amazon Kindle...

    NEED Advice .. Web Design VS. Copywriting ..

    The copywriting debate is an interesting one. there's no doubting that a good copywriter will pay for themselves but you also need to question how many leads and at what stage of the sales funnel you'll be getting people to your site. Cold selling to someone with only a passing interest in your...

    My opinion so far, Joomla vs Wordpress vs Drupal, what is yours?

    I found Joomla and Drupal show a lot of more advanced features when you first install them, they certainly feel a bit less intuitive than WP. But once you get going with WP you generally realize that if coded well, the platform can do almost anything. Some of the stuff WooThemes produce for...
