How to sell on Amazon.com

[JT_Stone]

I've sold over 200 books in around 3 weeks. I'm amazed. I put together a YouTube video explaining exactly how to do it. If interested, check it out here.

Very cool. Thanks a lot.

One question, can you read these if you don't have a Kindle?

Kindle has a free download program for PC (and maybe for Mac as well) that will enable you to read Kindle books on your computer.

There is a Kindle app for quite a number of platforms.

 

[JackLuis]

Yeah, I found it.

Cover Art? Should it allude to the nature of the book, as in a sweeping panorama of the wind swept plains, for a western romance?
or should it be a complete come-on, with a silhouette of her Boob?

What do you use for cover art?

Cover Art is an art form. It signals the genre as well as trying to be distinctive and evocative. It's best to explore the covers (by the more established e-publishers) of works like yours to get the hang of what is expected on the cover.

Go sexy for the cover. If you surf through books for sale your eyes will always fall upon the sexiest image. You really want yours to stand out from those next to it.

I used some images I have from former photo shoots. I then created the covers in Photoshop. It's way easy. Let me know if you want help with that. I'm probably going to do a YT video on how to generate the cover art using a free video editing program called Gimp. It's practically like a free version of Photoshop.

I've heard of GIMP but never used it. There are lots of resources for self publishing. A while back I thought of putting up a site to swap stories, web suites require work though.

From the covers I've sen on the web erotic books, seem oriented to Women, although men also like the images, I expect.

Self-publishing is a snap. It's the self-marketing that's a real bear.

That's very true.
