Amazon Publishing Service: A New Way to Publish Your Book

 If you wanted to be a famous author who gave speeches and book signings in between great vacations, you may have been hit hard by reality at some point in your career. Amazon Publishing is now taking steps to fix this problem. The market for print-on-demand books and e-books is growing by leaps and bounds.

With more people paying attention to web-based publishing, the big six mega publishers are starting to pay attention. Apple and Google have both joined the competition with their universal tools (iBook) and content (Google books). Amazon doesn't want to be left out of this market because they are still the best place to buy books online. They are making it easier for small publishers to get their books out on the market and into print. Since their very popular eBook reader, the Kindle, came out in 2007, the number of electronic book sales has surpassed the number of print book sales.

What will it take to get your dream project published or shown on TV so that millions of people can see it? If you've done the work and your project is ready, you still need to take a few important steps.

This part could be harder than getting your book out of the bag. That's because there are many steps in the production and distribution process that need to be taken care of before the book can be printed (in the case of print on demand) or even put into an electronic format for the Kindle. Once you know all the steps Amazon needs to make sure the material is ready to be published, you are ready.

These steps are important if you want to get paid, get noticed, and make a product that will make Amazon want you to work on another project because the first one made them money. That is the key to getting along with this huge company that sells a lot of books. If you help them make money, they will do anything to make you happy.

With the help of experts who have worked with Amazon before and done well, the steps become easier. They can tell you how to work with the company so that your business gets the best results. They know that when a mega-giant is in charge, there is always money left on the table.

Amazon will give you templates and guidelines for your book, and if you mess it up, you will be punished. That's why it's best to find someone who knows how to work with his or her system inside and out. You'll need to know what kind of book cover works best for your market and how to make the most of a "blurb" to get the word out about your book. These are just a few of the things you should think about before you start.

Amazon Publishing Services is a great way to get noticed, and now that they've made it easier to get there, you may end up in front of that audience after all. Think about how much work it will take to get your project into the hands of potential buyers.
