An Overview of Self-Publishing on Kindle

Self Publishing On Amazon Is A Wonderful Opportunity

Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a writer by practice, you’re always looking for ways to grow your brand, impact and help your audience, and make more money. It’s important to you that your audience views you as an expert they can turn to time and time again. Whether you’re new to the business of writing and you’re looking for a great way to break into your niche, or you’re interested in expanding your presence, Amazon Kindle publishing is an extremely smart way to do it.

When you publish books for Kindle, you get access to Amazon’s customers, the power behind their ebook recommendation engine, the esteem that comes from being a published author, and more. Amazon has an extremely popular ebook service that stands far above the rest and it’s just smart business to take advantage of it. Every day, there are people looking for and buying books related to your topic on Kindle – it may as well be your book they’re buying.

I imagine there are two different kinds of people reading this right now. The first type sees Kindle publishing as just another leg to their business. They want more visibility and to catch more customers or clients with a wider net. The other type of person reading this right now is a writer– and plans to create an entire income stream by publishing their words to Kindle.

Affiliate Marketing

affiliate marketing word cloudSo you’re thinking about being an affiliate marketer?

Many Internet marketers, myself included, started out in perhaps the easiest way possible… by becoming an affiliate for one or more merchants that had products that allowed other to promote.

Well, I say easy, but in reality I had to learn a lot of painful and frustrating lessons along the way, many of which I hope to be able to teach you inside IMIT, so that you don’t have so much pain and frustration.

This particular lesson is more geared to those who aren’t already familiar with what affiliate marketing is all about. If you’ve been an IM’er for a while, you’re probably already familiar with what I’m going to say today, but if not, I think you’ll become very excited with what lies in store for you.

Choosing a Niche for a Product

How to Get Ideas for a Niche

Product creation is extremely exciting. You get to create your own product, and people pay you for that product!

It’s truly a dream come true for an Internet marketer. You choose what to create, create it, and earn money from it.

You get stars in your eyes when you think of all the success stories you’ve heard from other infopreneurs. There are people out there who are earning millions of dollars from their info products—something to aspire to. You’ve even heard of new marketers earning hundreds or thousands of dollars from their first launch.

That’s something you want for yourself. You want to target a profitable niche, create an excellent product that will really help people, and collect the rewards.

Maybe you’ve created a product before. How did it do? Maybe you’re hanging your head low because you thought you did everything the right way, but it earned next to nothing. You feel like all that work was wasted.

Maybe this is your first time around and you’re really nervous. Is it even worth it? After all, for all the success stories there are out there, there are tons of stories from disappointed marketers who tried their hand at product creation and it didn’t go as planned.

Still, you know that many, many people have successfully created info-products and earn a full time living from doing so. Sure, massive success stories are few and far between but you know of average Joes and Jills earning full time incomes with product creation.

What’s their secret?

Finding a Coach, Mentor, or Accountability Partner

You Don’t Have To Work In Isolation

It’s very exciting to have your own business. You get to make decisions yourself, live life on your own terms, and determine how successful you become. We live in a great time for entrepreneurs – it’s extremely exciting, whether you’re new or experienced.

At the same time, working for yourself can be very isolating. It can be hard to stay motivated and have the right mindset when you’re relying on yourself. If you’re finding yourself procrastinating, feeling confused and overwhelmed, and feeling isolated… then the chances are good that the dream of working for yourself isn’t exactly what you thought it would be so far.

The operative phrase in that sentence was… so far.

We All Get the Same 24 Hours in a Day

Mens Hand Watch CloseupThe Struggle of Productivity

Productivity is a huge stumbling block for many people. It seems so simple on paper—work hard every day, get a lot done, and succeed in business.

More often than not, it just doesn’t happen that way. You wake up, start working with great intentions (“I’m REALLY going to get a lot done today!”), get distracted, get discouraged, and ‘punch out’ at the end of the day with very little to show for it.

Rinse and repeat the next day.

It’s not only discouraging; it’s costing you a huge amount of money. Every day that you work at less than optimal levels is a day you’re tossing money out the window.

Don’t feel bad, it’s really hard to work optimally, though. And you’re certainly not alone. Productivity is a huge struggle. It’s especially true in today’s times.
