Place Your Books On Kindle Select

As you are publishing your book on Amazon Direct Publishing KDP  you have a choice, if you want to put your book in Kindle Select.

Amazon has a subscription service, for a price you can subscribe and then you are able to read as many books you want in a month, as long as the book is in Kindle Select.

So as you publish your book on Amazon, you can choose to put your book into Kindle Select or not to.  If you put your book into Kindle Select and someone downloads your book, you are paid by the page.  If the reader reads two pages, you arepaid for two pages.  If the reader reads all 400 pages, then you are paid for 400 pages.  The reader does not pay for the book, because you enrolled the book into Kindle Select.  They did not buy the book.

If your book is in Kindle Select, you can put your book up for FREE up to 5 days every 3 months.  Why would you want to give your book away????

For PROMOTION. Some writers will give the first book in the series free in hope that they will buy the other books in the series. 

You do not have to put your book in Kindle Select.  You need to go to KDP and read more about it.

I have over 70 E-Books on Amazon.  I have all my books in Kindle Select.  It costs nothing.  

I wrote a 2 Zombie Series in 2011.  I have over 35 short Zombie Stories.  So If a reader has the subscription and wants to read my series, why not.  

Just this last week I put Welcome To Zombie Zoo  for Free.  I had 118 downloads of that book,  I did not promote or advertise that it was free.  I sold the book in 5 different countries.  The Netherlands, Mexice, UK, Canada, USA.  I like selling books in other countries.  


It is something to think about as your are publishing your book.  If you do not select Kindle Select when you publish your book, you can always enroll the book anytime in the future .  I want everyone to read my books, no matter what country they live in.  If I can make it free for a few days. I don't see why not.  I just want people to read my books and this is a way to introduce yourself to other countries and to people who can not afford to buy a book.

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Writing Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
