Selling your book on Amazon
Kevin Kelly provides insight into selling your self-published book, CD or DVD on Amazon.com. He admits though that in many cases it’s not about making, it’s about getting the message out there and hoping to attract customers to the Web site. His simple steps (detailed on his site) are:
- Get an ISBN (for a book), or a UPC (for a CD or DVD). For one book it costs $125, for one CD, $55, for one DVD, $89.
- Get a bar code based on the ISBN or UPC. Costs $10, or may be included in UPC.
- Sign up with Amazon, $30 per year.
- Duplicate your stuff; include the bar code on the outside.
- Ship two copies to Amazon
- Send cover scan
- Track sales
- Register it (optional)
