Kiran Trivedi Lets You Know How You Can Make Money as an Amazon Author

If you’re stuck for cash, why not break out the laptop, write a book and flog it on Amazon? This week Kiran Trivedi lets you know how you can make a tonne of easy cash as an Amazon author.

You Can Always Make Money on the Internet

It used to be almost impossible to get published. You had to write a manuscript and send it off to a publisher. It lied in a pile of manuscripts, and if you were lucky, it’d be read, but even then the chances it’d actually interest the publisher enough to prompt an investment was practically zero.

However the internet has changed everything. I’ve repeatedly told you how you can use the internet to make cash and shore up your personal finances. You can flog your old stuff on EBay, save a little money by taking advantage of a GroupOn deal or trim the grocery budget by doing your weekly food shop online.

Welcome to Kindle Direct Publishing

Now the internet has made it a whole lot easier to make cash as an author too, as you can publish your book straight to Amazon. Welcome to Kindle Direct Publishing.

If you’ve got a specialist subject, why not give it a try. Yes, you make far less money, as you don’t have the selling power of a publishing house behind you, but you earn a 70% royalty on any sale you make. Best bit? Publishing doesn’t cost a single penny!

How Can You Publish Your Book on Amazon?

You can easily use it to make the few hundred quid you need to strengthen your personal finances, and all you have to do is write the book, open an Amazon account, find the Direct Kindle Publishing page and follow the instructions.

However I would urge caution. You only make money when somebody buys your book, and if your book isn‘t good enough, you won’t make any money at all. Make sure you know what you’re talking about, that you’ve got your grammar correct and that you book is useful and/or enriches the lives of everyone who reads it. In other words, be a good author and, you guessed it, do your research!

There you have it Kiran Trivedi readers. Publishing a book on Amazon won’t change your life, but it will provide you with a steady flow of cash that’ll shore up your personal finances. Who knows, you could be the next JK Rowling!
