Review: Kindle Income: How to Make a Living Writing Kindle Books; by Alex Foster

If you want to self-publish your own books for Kindle this little beginner's guide will help you get started.

Here you will find useful tips on finding potentially profitable ideas to write about.

The author encourages us to develop a system that will help us to write FAST and crank out one 10,000-word book per week. (I'm not sure the author actually does this himself – I can only find 7 or 8 books by Alex Foster on Amazon – but that is a quibble. Writing one book per week is an inspiring goal to shoot for even if we fall short.)

Once we do have a book to sell Foster reminds us that much of our success will come from having really good covers and descriptions and titles that will attract potential customers and use the key words readers are searching for. There are useful tips on finding good photos and making professional-looking covers.

For beginners, this book, gives tips on how to create tables of contents using different types of software. It also has sample disclaimers you can add to your book if you are writing about topics that could expose you to some legal liability.

When your book is finally ready to go Foster gives tips on pricing to maximize your profit and giving away free gifts to catch people's attention.

If a book doesn't sell, or if sales start to slow, the author has suggestions for freshening it up with, for example, new art or a new chapter.

One of my favorite lines in the book is "Commitment beats skill." Remember that when you start to feel discouraged or doubt your ability, and then get back to work!

If you want to be a successful author on Kindle I assume you will read many books to help you master the necessary skills. This little book should be one of them.
