Thank you
*@lannister* that is helpful
Does anyone have a good guide to creating Kindle Direct Publishing books please? They sound interesting. I understand they might not make much money per book sale but I like the idea that once you've created one it can keep on selling with no further work. Is that the idea?!
Yes, that's the idea.
I use PowerPoint to create the insides and photoshop for the covers which get converted to pdfs and uploaded to Amazon. But you can also use Canva for free and there are plenty of free resources out there. I have a Black Friday sale Creative Fabrica subscription which I use for artwork.
There are plenty of facebook groups and youtube videos out there. Don't buy anything until you've had a play around and made your first sale on something basic.
This is a good channel to follow to learn the basics: www.youtube.com/c/StackinProfit/videos (he has a facebook group)
bowespublishing.gumroad.com/ Is a good place to get bits for the insides. I bought everything he sells in the Black Friday sales last year and they are all fab. Saves me lots of time with sizing things up and my Sudoku puzzle books sell ok. There are lots of free bits on there too. (He also has a facebook group)
www.facebook.com/groups/2690865597847008 There is a Chrome extension too that will help you with niche ideas.
This is my gumroad. peppermintcreams.gumroad.com/ Everything is basic but free and mostly made with Bowes powerpoint plug ins.
I've not made much money but it's certainly kept me sane over the pandemic, and what I've uploaded will stay on there forever (or until the Amazon algorithms bury it) It's nice to wake up to a sale.
