5 Simple Ways to have the Power of Amazon Working for You
No book? Put your website giveaway up on Amazon. It costs nothing to add it to Kindle, just remember to keep the formatting simple to avoid it looking funky.
Make It Easy:Let’s discuss what you have and whether our Team would be a good fit to get this done for you.
Have a book or publish your giveaway to Amazon? Be sure to create an Amazon Author Page and keep it updated. I reviewed a book earlier this year and the author had it on Amazon, but no Author Page. That page is where you showcase your other books/reports, your bio, your blog, your latest Twitter posts and even promote your upcoming events/webinars and have discussions with customers. Visitors can opt to “follow” you on Amazon and stay up-to-date with what you publish.

Add your blog to Amazon. Amazon will assign a price to your blog (typically $0.99/mo) and automatically download new articles to purchasers’ Kindles. Wondering why people would pay $0.99/mo for something that’s free? Convenience. Amazon does all the work and the posts are ready in their Kindle when they are. I receive regular royalty checks for my blog. Note that you only receive 30% of the monthly subscription price so you’re not going to retire on this. However, it’s a good way to link your site to Amazon and get added exposure and credibility.
