Places to Publish e-Books

Publishing ebooks that you have rights to is a great way to earn extra income. With the intoriduction of Amazon’s kindle, ebooks have become an extremely popular commodity.

Obviously uploading your ebooks onto Amazon’s Kindle via their DTP platform is essential. The Kindle is currently the most popular e-reader in the world and your ebooks won’t be sellable if you do not upload them onto Amazon’s Kindle store! If nothing else, make sure to upload your ebooks here.

Luckily, other businesses have seen the soaring popularity and success of the Kindle and are creating their own e-readers and platforms to support e-books. If you are a person with ebooks to sell, this is an amazing opportunity to make more money using the same material over and over (and over and over and over…) again. There is nothing preventing you from uploading your ebooks onto other websites or platforms, so the more places you upload your material the greater your chances of making profits!

Besides Amazon, you can go to http://www.tradebit.com/ . You have to register with the website to upload your material (don’t worry, it’s free!) and once you go through the simple registration process you can upload your ebooks for free. The uploading process is very simple. If you are already familiar with uploading onto Kindle you will find uploading onto tradebit to be very similar. Once you log into your tradebit account, you will see there is a “Upload New” tab – select “Documents/eBooks” and you will have some information to fill in, including “Title of Mall Listing” (just type in the title of your ebook), Description Text (highly recommend typing a synopsis of what your ebook has to offer), Price and Currency, etc. Make sure to clarify what currency you wish to use, because unlike Amazon Kindle ebooks (which are sold only in the US currently) tradebit can be sold worldwide. This is a huge advantage tradebit has over Kindle, so if you upload your information on tradebit in addition to Kindle your target market expands from people living in the US to people living anywhere in the world.

The most time consuming route is to create your own website that sells your own ebooks, but on a positive note you will have total and complete control over your material. The process is way to detailed to entail here, other than you would need your own website, this website would need to be optimized (hey, Micro Niche Finder is great for that!), and you would have a the capabilities to accept payment (many people like Clickbank, although Paypal can be used too). It’s a lot of work (especially if you have never done this before) but the profits would be 100% yours. There are many people who do this process VERY successfully, but be forewarned that it’s not a set-and-forget process.

There are more options for ebooks being developed – Barnes & Nobles Nook instantly comes to mind. Sony Reader and Iliad are two other ways to upload ebooks, although their popularity and usability aren’t nearly as popular as Kindle or tradebit just yet, and Google is rumored to be developing an e-book platform. There will be more e-readers coming into existence in the near future, this much is certain; and  when these avenues are fully developed we will explore them further.
