08Earn Up To 70% Royalty on Books Through Kindle Direct Publishing
Posted By: Val on October 8, 2011 at 11:46 amAmazon.fr Kindle Store (www.amazon.fr/kindle)is happy to announce to publishers and authors the ability to make their books available worldwide with the use of Kindle Direct Publishing (http://kdp.amazon.fr). This free and fast way will not only put the manuscripts on Kindle but also on Kindle Cloud Reader and on free Kindle reading apps on Android, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Windows Phone, PC and Mac.
Although the “fr” is used because of Kindle Direct Publishing’s launch into France, these books will be read in the US, the UK, Germany, and more than 100 other countries. Payments will be made in US dollars, Euros, or British pounds. Authors will continue to own the rights to their books, which is an important factor to them.
John Locke, for one, jumped on the bandwagon early and has sold more than one million Kindle books through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). He and many others should give encouragement to authors and publishers everywhere to consider this amazing opportunity.
Also launched on October 7th was the Amazon.fr.Kindle Store to service France, Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg and Switzerland with a selection of more than 35,000 French-language Kindle books.

Let me help you publish your book, ebook and/or special reports in the popular Amazon Kindle Store.
The Kindle eReader has become the most gifted item in Amazon’s history. By some estimates, sales for Amazon’s Kindle eBook reader topped 8 million last year. It took the iPod and iTunes many years to become the number one music retailer in the US. The Kindle has overtaken the competition in just two years.
There are roughly a billion computers on the planet connected to the internet and about four billion mobile devices, the majority of which can read eBooks in numerous formats – including Kindle – using free software.

30How To Manage Your Social Networks and Save Time
Posted By: Val on September 30, 2011 at 8:30 amHootSuite is a super Management Tool for your social networks. You can add up to five social networks with a free account and then monitor them in real time all in one place. e.g. Twitter, Facebook Profile, Facebook Fan Pages, Linked In, etc. You are also able to respond directly to comments, status updates and tweets. A real time-saver.
How do you get a HootSuite account?
1. Sign up for HootSuite. Enter your required information and click “Create Account”
2. Add Social Media profile – 5 free allowed. Click the Launch Bar at the top lefthand corner of your screen. Go to “Settings”, select “Social Networks” and click “Add Social Network” button. Add your Twitter accounts, Facebook Profile and Fan Pages plus any other social networks you are linked to. “Allow” HootSuite to communicate with them and you are done. You only have to do this once.
3. Add your Social Networks as Columns (Streams). To start monitoring your networks, click the “+ Add Streams” button at the top of the page. This will create a column for Home Feed, Mentions, Search, etc. Use the toggle bar near the righthand corner of your screen and Shift right to left to adjust column widths so you can fit more in.
4. To access the HootSuite Launch Menu click the Launch Bar on the upper lefthand corner of your screen. It looks like a little hut. Select “Streams”.
This will open up your networks in different tabs.
5.To Compose a Message, click inside the “Compose” field on the upper left of your screen and type a message. Add your URL to the “Add a Link” box and click “Shrink” to automatically shorten it. Then select a social network from the list on the right of the compose message box and click “Send Now”. You can send to all of them at the same time, or just one. Your choice.
6. Reply, Retweet, Direct Message. Hover your mouse over a tweet, and choose reply, retweet or direct message by clicking the buttons in the top right hand corner.
7. Twitter Search. At the top right corner is the “Twitter Search” field. Enter a search term and and enter.
8. To schedule messages for future delivery, after you type your Message click the button with the calendar icon. A calendar will then pop down, enabling you to set the date and time. Next choose whatever social network profile you would like to send the message to. When finished, click the Schedule button to confirm.
9. You can save draft messages too. Inside the Compose field, type the status update you want to save, then select the social media profile you want to save this under. Near the Send Now button, there is a floppy disc icon. Click it, and an accompanying message will say, Message saved as draft. To access your Drafts, click the arrow icon beside the flippy disc icon. Your drafted Status Update will then show in the text field, and be ready for use.
HootSuite sends you periodic reports of your activity. It is a great site and highly recommended. I use it every day.

Amazon has a New Launch planned for Wednesday, Sept. 28 in the USA and everyone is expecting an announcement about the new Kindle, rumoured to be called the Kindle Fire. It sounds like this is going to be a tablet that will be a kind of mini computer, incorporating the incredible Kindle Reader.
Kindle books are extremely popular and there are literally hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of Kindle owners looking for something new to read on their Kindle.
This is the right time to publish your book on the Kindle platform! The traffic is amazing and they move quickly, especially if you are using keywords in your title and description that people are searching for.
Is it easy to publish a book on Kindle? Yes.. and No.. Yes, because it is fast and uncomplicated. No, because you need to do a bit of work on the formatting before uploading your document to Amazon.
I know many folk are teaching that you just upload a Word document and that’s it. But if you have tried that and been frustrated with some of the peculiar symbols and spacing, you will appreciate the need to make your book a bit more professional and user-friendly.
I learned by doing and that’s how my popular e-Guide – Kindle Publishing Made Easy – was born. Get to know some of the “how to’s” and start selling books right away. Eleven writers have already become millionaire best-sellers.
That’s my goal too. I’m already over the 400 mark, so got a little way to go! But I’m working on it… ![]()
Shouldn’t you be too?

Posted By: Val on September 22, 2011 at 3:44 pmThank you for letting me look at your Kindle Publishing Made Easy. I hadn’t realized there was so much to getting a product on Kindle the right way!
So many ‘Big names’ make it sound so simple when they are trying to sell us their PLR to upload to Kindle…. I’m GLAD to have read your pdf or I could have ended up getting my outsourcer to do it all badly & wrong!
Having read through the pdf… I have to say you have done a great job in outlining each step of the process … And in a correct manner!
I look forward to getting some ebooks on Kindle properly now
(and the extra revenue that will bring…lol)
Thanks again for writing a clear step by step report I can get people to follow along to!
Warm Regards
