People trust Amazon.

In our digital age, consumers have buying power. A study shows that 89% of consumers are more likely to buy products from Amazon than other eCommerce sites. People buy from people whom they like and trust, and these numbers prove that Amazon outshines the competition.

The moment that I discovered that I could make money publishing books online I was sold. In only a few short months I was making $4,000 in passive income and I never looked back. I've been an Amazon book publisher for 9 years now and have gone on to build a successful Amazon book publishing business, in addition to other businesses.

Amazon has made it easy for anyone to publish a book on their platform. You don't need to be an author, nor do you need previous business experience. For this reason alone, I believe that building an Amazon book publishing business is a great way to start selling online.

Recently, my fiancée Tatiana interviewed me on her YouTube channel about how to make money on Amazon selling books. Tatiana started an Amazon FBA business with zero business experience and has gone on to build a 7-figure brand in less than 4 years. If you feel called to start an Amazon FBA business and need help doing so, I encourage you to follow her.

Below are some of the questions that Tatiana asked me. Over the years, I've helped thousands of people make passive income from the comfort of their homes. It's been amazing to see how people's lives have changed because of Amazon. I hope my answers inspire you to take advantage of the amazing opportunity that Amazon provides.

Let's dive in!

What does it mean to publish and sell books on Amazon? 

People go to Amazon because they are looking to buy something. The process of selling books on Amazon is similar to selling physical products, but it's a lot simpler. It starts with identifying a niche, the keywords, and the topics that are in high demand on Amazon. The next step is to write a book.

You can either write a book yourself or you can hire a ghostwriter to write it for you. There are more writers looking for work than ever before. In my Mastering Book Publishing course, I teach people how to be a publisher and a marketer. That is where the real money is made.

The most successful entrepreneurs outsource their work so that they can work on their business instead of in it. Doing so ensures that you can publish 5-10 books at one time, instead of just one. This is the best way to scale your business. If you go to Fiverr.com you can get a cover designed relatively inexpensively.

Once you have your book and cover formatted as a Kindle and paperback version, you can publish your book on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). Your book will be live on all of Amazon's platform and ready for purchase in less than 48 hours. The speed with which you can do all of this is a lot faster than selling physical products.

What stops a lot of people from writing their first book is that they assume that it has to be 300 pages long. This is far from true. I encourage people to write shorter books when they are first starting. Write a book that is 30-50 pages long and price it between .99 cents to $2.99 so that you're not taking a big risk from the get-go.

If your book ends up doing well, you can go back and improve it over time.

The only challenge with books is that it's harder to make significant amounts of money with it. If you have the money, I encourage you to start an Amazon FBA business. However, if money is tight right now, an Amazon book publishing business is a great starting point. This will help you get your feet wet and gain some experience on the Amazon platform. Once you start making money online, you can eventually transition to Amazon FBA if that's what you want to do.

How much money can people expect to make with Kindle publishing?

Amazon has grown so much over the years. Today, their marketplace and customer base is huge. Every niche, category, and keyword has different potential. On average, people are making a couple hundred or a couple thousand dollars a month selling books on Amazon.

If you want to build a 6-figure Amazon book publishing business, you have to sell a lot of books.

Think of your book as a business card. When people buy your book, they are building a relationship with you. You can funnel people who read your book into another product. For example, if you published a book on meditation, you could create a meditation mat or yoga block and sell it on Amazon FBA.

Your book should never be your whole business. I'm a proponent of building a brand in a niche that has books, physical products, and online courses. This is how I've been able to build a 7-figure brand.

Can you tell us more about your new course, Mastering Book Publishing?

I started teaching people how to publish books on Amazon back in 2013. I created a course called, Kindle Money Mastery. It went on to help thousands upon thousands of people make their first dollars online. For the last two years, I've been reworking my original course.

My new and improved course is called Mastering Book Publishing. It teaches you, step by step, how to get started selling books on Amazon. I have another course called Mastering Book Marketing that teaches you how to market your book outside of Amazon which will give you a huge competitive advantage.

This is the best time to start selling on Amazon for beginners.

The Coronavirus pandemic has shifted life online. This means that more and more people are shopping online, which includes buying books. Amazon's stocks recently hit an all-time high, making them a trillion-dollar company. As the world returns, Amazon is going to be stronger than ever before.

As more people buy on Amazon, everyone who sells on Amazon will benefit too. I know that a lot of people are moving through some financially difficult times right now. If you can relate, I encourage you to use your pain as motivation and take advantage of the opportunities that Amazon provides, whether that's book publishing or Amazon FBA.

Get motivated and take action! Your financial future will thank you for it.
