I know I used to load stuff up for UK and separately for US (for .co.uk and .com). Has that now changed?
And, if there is someone who really grasps all this stuff then perhaps I might be interested in someone stepping up here. I’ve the book, the cover, etc. But the necxt bits baffle a bit.
It does seem to be complicated. Amazon gives a step by step instruction on uploading your bestseller, but it defeated me.
I wrote a novella (everyone has a book in him and it’s best to excrete it) about a sociopath and a narcissist. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Othello (the advantage of being out of copyright and the author being dead is not to be sneezed at).
Sat back and waited for the royalties to roll in.
Now even I can’t find it in the catalogue. Ho hum.
A few years ago I helped the ex publish a book, and listed it online. She wants me to “make sure it appears in search results”. So I ask her: what things people searching for should it appear in the results.
“When people search for it should appear.”
So, when people already know the answer to the search, that’s the search term she wants to target. 🙁
I think Leg-Iron is your man…
I’ve always been told that using Amazon as a self publisher was the most appalling rip off.
Authors get £O.OOOOOO3 per 100 books sold. Or something.
What are their rates these days ?
Depends on hte price you set. But a few quid a copy…..
“I’ve the book”
Lousy marketing Tim. How about telling us what it’s about? Economics, evisceration of Fenland tubers, bodice ripper?
Loosely based on Shakespeare? Title is “Richard the Turd”, perhaps?
The easiest way is to use draft2digital puts it on all platforms apart from google.
Fortunately for me I have a Kobo not a Kindle which sadly has less books – but I can read this on it

A really great book, if you email me I can help.

A set in Ely?
Ask Tim Newman?
There’s an interesting article in the Torygraph about OnlyFans. Turns out it’s not just for porn and you keep 80% of the subscription money.

Have you considered videoing yourself reading it as a set of chapters, whacking it up there, and promoting it? Betcha make more money than self-publishing on Amazon.
I’m thinking of becoming a ranting Mr. Grumpy (or something) on OnlyFans. Got to supplement the pension somehow, and ranting on YouTube or Instagram is going to earn jack shit.
Funnily enough this appeared as an advert on your site

Norman, I saw that article too and wondered what the market for miserable old sods spouting bollox was, cos I fancied giving it a go.
Pegasus? No. Erring toward vanity….
