If students are
good at anything, it's researching and writing. With the Amazon Kindle store,
anyone can publish an eBook and make money.
And the Kindle
app is now available on almost any device (laptops, iPads, smartphones and yes,
Kindles) so your global market is huge!
List your book
for £1.49 – £6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the
ultimate selling machine (and remember people are looking to spend), that is a
fantastic deal.
The key to
success with eBooks is to create value, and write non-fiction. Simply bundling
information you have researched and complied on a common problem (eg. ‘secrets'
to finding a job) and then presenting it in an easy to digest format (an eBook)
justifies someone spending a few quid on it.
Another big tip
is to have a great cover designed (browse these) so it stands out, and once
your book is live on the Kindle store it's really important to get some reviews
so it shows up higher in results. Encourage readers to leave an honest review
at the end of your book.
