Kindle Publishing for Blogs Beta
As you know, the Kindle is the device that allows readers to download and buy books directly from Amazon and read them on the go. The Kindle is wireless, so readers can search, purchase and enjoy reading books no matter where they are. But did you know that Amazon is now offering blog publishing on the Kindle, where blogs can be subscribed to and read in full on the Kindle? Now you do!
Of course, Morgan James encourages authors to blog on a regular basis to connect with their readers on a more personal and approachable level. Blogs are powerful marketing tools that allow authors to receive feedback, provide updates on new books, promote books that are already in print, and provide more information about their business to readers. They are also incredibly effective at helping authors dominate the search engines when written keyword rich and on a consistent basis. Modern technology has made it possible for readers to get ebooks at the computer, or even on a cell phone, but blogs are usually presented as just a headline, and can be difficult to read and impossible to read without an Internet connection. Amazon is offering a solution to this problem with their new Kindle.
Those who own an iPhone or iPod Touch have a perfect companion for Kindle. Your target market can read your Blog and their Kindle books on their iPhone by simply downloading the free Kindle for iPhone application. Amazon’s new Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes their reading location across the Kindle and the iPhone. Now they can read a few pages on their iPhone and pick up right where they left off when they return to their Kindle.
Now what does this mean for Morgan James authors? This means that an entirely new and modern avenue for marketing has just begun! Your blog will be for sale on the Amazon Kindle for a subscriber’s fee, of which the author of the blog will receive 30%. Most blog fees are between $.99- $1.99 per month, which means this is not a great way to make money through just a blog, but if each subscriber buys your book, you may see a great increase in book revenue and in interest in your business.
It is a free service, which makes it a great Guerrilla Marketing weapon.
