You’ve published on Amazon Kindle… now what?
If you’re like some authors and marketers, then you’re perfectly content just sticking with Amazon Kindle. It truly is the best and most powerful platform out there for self-published authors. There’s no denying that it has a huge, huge market share and that if you want your book to have great exposure, then that’s the place to start.
But, you’d be selling yourself short if you never consider the other platforms. I’m talking about iBooks, Scribd, Nook, Kobo, and others. There’s even the option to self-publish completely on your own without the help of a known platform at all—we’ll talk about that option in a bit.

You’ve written essays for school and things like that.
