LAYNA'S LIBRARY OF E-BOOKS FOR
SELF-PUBLISHING ON AMAZON KDP
PLUS...Links to Additional Knowledge and Resources!
I just got a PM wanting to know how to set up a KDP account, upload content, track sales, promote one's wares... pretty much how to do everything having to do with selling on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
For this request, I decided to turn to my vast digital library to pull a few titles to share because there is a TON of e-books on how to do all this, from people who are making a great living selling through Amazon KDP. And who better to take advice from than someone who is already successful?!
Additionally, there is a TON of helpful resources on all this conveniently located on Amazon's KDP website.
So, in this share, I will provide more than 20 e-books that will teach you all about:
- Setting up an account on Amazon KDP
- Doing keyword research to find out what people want
- Designing attractive covers for your KDP e-books
- Converting a paperback Word file to PDF
- Formatting your e-book
- Formatting your hardcover book
- Formatting your paperback book
- Creating content for your KDP e-books
- Editing content for your KDP e-books
- Uploading content to your KDP account
- Inputting the book details into KDP
- Launching your new book
- Doing things right to avoid getting your KDP account banned
- Getting reviews for your KDP e-books
- Promoting and marketing your KDP e-book titles
- Tracking sales
- Creating a series of books
- ...and more!
PLUS, you get my links to very helpful added knowledge and resources.
NEED MORE HELP...?
If, after going through the basics, you need additional (or advanced) information, you can find it this way:
- By doing a search in Duckduckgo.com or Google.com for KDP on whatever else you need;
- By going to a Z-Library or elsewhere (ex: pdfdrive.com or other e-book download site) to search; or,
- By searching for courses or tutorials on KDP on any of the many free course download sites
HOW TO FIND FREE
COURSE DOWNLOAD SITES
If you need to find a few free course download sites, do a search like this:
dl free wso courses KDP
These keywords will bring up sites (among others) that post direct downloads to Warrior Special Offers (WSOs), e-books, courses and tutorials related to internet marketing and other e-commerce categories.
Follow the links that come up in the search but ignore any sites that sell courses at a discount or via GB; you're looking for sites that display the actual download links so you can access them immediately. If the link takes you to a sales page or BUY link, that's not a free course download site.
On some sites, you may get a choice of links, in which case, you can try them all because the downloads are interchangeable. This means that if the file Part 01 link from Nitroflare works but file part 02 is dead, you can grab file Part 02 from [Reported by Members as premium hosting that SUCK! Use MEDIAFIRE or MEGA.NZ :) !!!] or [Reported by Members as premium hosting that SUCK! Use MEDIAFIRE or MEGA.NZ :) !!!], etc. (and hopefully get a working download) that will get you the complete course. It doesn't matter that the downloads come from different file share hosts; the contents will be exactly the same.
Some of these sites will occasionally offer the much-coveted Mega download link but many of them post only premium links from hosts like the ones I just mentioned.
For example, below is a Mega link for the KDP course that I found on one of these free course sites yet they seemed to have "borrowed" the course from yet another such site. And in cases like that, it is always good to know the source of the files, just in case you should need a password to open the archive. You can always try the name of the site in this format: websiteurl.com (without the preceding https://www.) That usually works.
But, I can confirm that you don't need a password with this course. I just opened the first of the video tutorials and everything works just fine.
MAKE MONEY ON AMAZON WITH
KINDLE DIRECT PUBLISHING IN 2020
If you don't have a premium link generator app to convert those links to ones you can use, you'll need to get one. They're not expensive.
The one I'm using right now is Real-Debrid and I like it a lot. It cost only $18 USD for a 6-month account and I am getting good use from it. I used to love Deepbrid but that program has gone to hell in a handbasket lately. I've had several BBHF members PM me about it and it has gotten so bad that I allowed my account to expire without renewing. I no longer recommend them. They're bad and it doesn't seem like they care enough to correct it.
Well, enough about that. Here is my library collection:

If you're seeing this post anywhere other than bestblackhatforum.com
or being shared by anyone other than Layna61524, then that's where/who
THEY TOOK IT FROM!
So, there you have it --- my answer to your question about doing anything KDP.
For many of you, this is waaay too much information, so go through the post and pick what you find helpful and leave what isn't.
Or simply grab the structured course from that Mega link and go through those files in an organized manner.
In other words, don't let the amount of information overwhelm you. Take it a little at a time but whatever you do, get what you want from this while you can. I'm not re-upping it.
Oh Layna61524 queen of BBHF, we are not worthy of your generosity... Two amazing shares in two days, thank you so much, and of course, reps added.
On another note... Do you ever sleep
@All: Thanks, everybody. I appreciate your kind posts. To everyone who added reps, thank you. Enjoy the share!
@GalaxyQuest2: Yes, you're worthy because you're a forum friend. I have been truly blessed; that's why I do this. I have leisure time. And I sleep very well (actually, more than I need to). Since I don't have many of the usual obligations and time-constraints that most adults do, I use some of the free time I have to help BBHF members. Not too many years ago, I was a "green-behind-the-ears" newbie who didn't even understand how or where to upload a file to share it!
==========
Whenever I get a request by PM that I am able to help with, I try to bring the fruits of my labor to the public forum to make the resources available to a wider audience. That's what happened with the last two shares I posted (Children's Writers and Illustrators Market 2022 and this one).
I've already mentioned that the more I share, the better and easier my life gets. That's why I'm always preaching to the leeches --- they need to learn how to GIVE (share with or provide value to others) then they will find that they won't need to be so all-consumed in getting what they want.
Generosity breeds serendipity.
In the past, I can remember several IM courses and e-books I really wanted and couldn't find anywhere. Within 1 to 2 weeks, after I'd forgotten about them, the download links appeared as if out-of-the-blue; either someone here shared it with me privately or I eventually found the files elsewhere.
One example of this serendipity is the Build Book Buzz templates for promoting your book. I really, really wanted this e-book but didn't want to pay the $67 asking price. So, after fruitlessly trying to hack the search engines with B-H tactics, I gave up on ever having it. Then one day, while searching for something else entirely, I saw a Microsoft Word document in my search results that turned out being the forms and templates for Build Book Buzz! I couldn't believe it! The e-book file was in a totally different (doc) format. Only after downloading and opening it, I realized that I now owned the product I had been yearning for!
And I returned to BBHF to share it --- along with tons of resource links from the Build Book Buzz website!).

and of course, reps added.
