Before we get to the guided process below on how I published my books for free using Createspace, allow me to first clarify that I already published both of these books via KDP (Kindle), so the books were edited and the covers designed already. Make sure you set your starting number at zero (0) if you’re skipping the first page (title page). 04 per word. Some copy editors charge by manuscript page, in the range of $2.50 to $5 per page. Select all the body copy of your book. If you’re distributing your book through PublishDrive, then you should know about what Google Play Books recent changes. If the top 1,000 sites started charging for content, then nearly every other content and service Web site would jump on the bandwagon to get a piece of the pie. While you can’t make it ignore special terms like “app”, it still provides yet another way to review and edit your content.

You will notice that I cut and pasted (Example) from the main title and put it into the subtitle, so if you need to make a correction like that this is the page to do it. For print-on-demand, Amazon charges a printing cost that’s tied with your page count, the country the book is sold and whether the interior is in colour or black and white. You can enroll in KDP Select to run price promotions on Amazon. 99 and $2.99. They maximize volume and visibility at the lower price point (and attempt to get on bestseller lists), then switch to $2.99 to maximize profits. You can keep this on your computer, and then it will be ready to upload and sell when you get to that point. Also, at this point your PDF is technically “finished.” However, you can always add any new edits or information to the original document, and then convert it again to PDF instantly if the need or desire arises. If you haven’t decided on a final book title for your completed draft yet, then you’ll want to do this before moving on to the next step.

If you haven’t done so already, download the Word template for the trim size of your anthony book cover (por favor clique em next post) and use that. If you haven’t read how to make ebooks downloadable, then be sure to read that as well. You have access to Kindle promotional tools such as Kindle Countdown, Kindle Free ebooks and paid Amazon Ads. For example, Amazon’s Direct Kindle Publishing allows you to keep up to 70% of your royalties, meanwhile Barnes and Noble pays out from 40% to 65% royalties for the eBooks you sell. So I would highly recommend you keep the original for editing purposes (and back it up too). It is great for finding audiobook narration, book cover designers, editing services, proofreaders, and book promotion. If you did not hire a book cover designer, consider the other two options. Once you have your interior and cover saved as PDFs and ready for publishing, it’s time to log in and add your new book. When you’re new and you spent a lot of time on that first book, you want to get paid for it. Marketing is not something that starts or stops at any given time.

Don’t forget to read our article about places to sell an eBook as well as marketing it and creating a sales page, which is a crucial part of the marketing process and translating visitors into sales (or readers). 5) Is your book part of a series? This is the day when you are going to set up your book to successfully launch over the next 11 days. If you are using an older program that doesn’t have a built in PDF convert feature, you can always import it into the free Open Office program. If you use another program (such as Microsoft Word), the process should be very similar. When I say formatting for the Kindle is technical, I mean there are specific ways that you can do certain things and there are features you cannot use. However, copy editors serving the self-publishing market especially understand that these roles are basically combined these days. I hope not. So don’t leave your PDF open for thieves to copy. This ensures that people will not be able to easily copy or edit your guide.
