Step 7: Sell your e-book
Now comes the big question: “How do I sell my freshly written e-book?”
And my advice is: DO NOT sell on Amazon – at least not if you sell non-fiction books and money is more important to you than reach.
Why?
Because Amazon is a platform where you compete with millions of authors.
That means:
Your price must be better – that is, lower.
Your description needs to be better.
Your Amazon ranking needs to be bahrain telegram screening better.
There are a lot of factors that mean you have little chance as a young author. And the whole Kindle-Amazon ranking is an art in itself.
That's why I recommend selling to your own readers at the beginning. In other words: directly via your blog and your newsletter.
If you don't have an email list yet, I'll show you how to build one here .
If you sell directly (without Amazon), then:
You can set the price higher because there is no price war.
You don't have to fight for your customers' attention because there are no competing books.
You don't have to fight for months for a good Kindle ranking.
You get 92 percent of the purchase price (8 percent goes to Digistore24, the payment processor).
