Most people make the very same mistake when they publish books on kindle.

 

Kindle Mistakes to avoid

1. Find a coach. If you are questioning  your abilities then get a coach and work on your “issues” for a few sessions. Remember, many people who publish books on Kindle rarely write their own books, they outsource.
2. Crowdsource your editing (ie friends and family) and then get a copyeditor or a proofreader to review it. A good idea is to use a content editor to ensure your text flows smoothly. Always, always get a second set of eyes to go over your work.  If you need help with an editor check out Fiverr.com
3. Kindle Formatting is usually a complete pain in the ass. You can use Kinstant Formatter, and get awesome results with it and it’s very cheap. You can also use Product Creator Pro to create an Epub file and a cover image.
4. Books are judged by their cover. For a cover design, deifnitely go to Fiverr.com it will save you a ton of money. Don't even think about using a free Amazon tool. Your cover will help sell your book. Invest $5
5. Hyperlink your table of contents. If you need help with Microsoft Word, MyOlli is an online learning portal where you can learn how to use all the Microsoft products. A small investment here will save you hours of hassle and negative reviews.
6. No explanation needed :)
7. You can use the Kindle Previewer app which shows you how your book is formatted. Always use it. Better to invest time now than get a load of negative reviews later.
8. Build hype – offer free chapters, cover reveals and even character bios. Share on your blog, on social media and start to generate interest in what you are doing. If it’s your first book, you might feel uncomfortable doing this, but it will get easier with practice. Of course you can book in a content marketing strategy session with me and we can plan this out together. If you are not sure how to do this you can outsource the task to someone of Fiverr or to a VA
9. Get a marketing plan for your book!  Don't think it will sell on it's own.
