Having been a member of Blackhatworld now for a number of years and having enjoyed a lot of success and failures, I've decided to come back to IM and start publishing some kindle books. I've not really been doing much IM stuff over the past few years mainly because of my offline business and just generally not being able to get back to the levels of success I enjoyed many moons ago.
Why have I decided to try Kindle and not the other maybe, easier methods?
The answer to this questions is because I really want to start working on something over the next 12 months that will ultimately be something I enjoy doing, white hat, legal and has the possibility of turning in to a passive income later on. Also, zero cost is involved to start and this is ideal for me in my current situation. :smoker:
The first book I wrote for Kindle was in February 2011. I had actually forgot all about it until I logged in to my kindle account a few days ago. The book is a 'How To Make Money Online' book for noobs and takes them through affiliate marketing and setting up websites etc. In total its around 100 pages. It never actually made any sales as I left the price at around $19 and never did any promotion.
The problem with this book is I don't actually have the original file to edit and make changes and the book contains links to a website I no longer own. The domain is available to register and I will register it as soon as I have funds available. For this reason, im just going to leave the book up as a freebie while it runs through the 5 day promotion period.
A few days ago I also wrote a new poker related book but used a lot of material available for free on the web. The material was only available on one website but I still had a notification from Amazon to confirm that I own all the rights. To play it safe I've unpublished this book and will re-write it at a later date.
Just tonight I have finished writing and editing another 'Make Money' book that is for a small niche and from my research on Amazon, will be the only book of its kind available on there. The book is around 20 pages long and although I am happy with the book in general, there's still a lot of information I can add to it at a later date if there seems to be a demand for it.
I currently have some ideas on how I can maybe write some decent books (in a very popular category) in a very short time. I would say this idea is semi-blackhat (although content will be original) but im confident it may allow me to pump out 3-4 books a week without breaking any of Amazons T&Cs and still produce quality, indemand content. The plan is to get one book live and go from there and test.
