How to Create Your Book on Amazon for $99

SEnuke: Ready for action

Quite a while before, on a desk-top far, far away...

Who has not wanted not only writing their very own guide, but seeing it in print on Amazon.com, having a replica for their bookshelf, buying 'five copies for my mother'?

Well, you will take action for a $99 charge and some cybernetic elbow grease. This site will show you how I did it, and odds are you can do it too. I've been studying for several years about Print On Demand, the nifty new techology where you place in PDF files on one end (One for the address, one for the insides) and an attractive, perfect-bound, bookstore-quality book arrives the other. Be taught further on amazon.com/tyler-collins/e/b01a8gj4ie by going to our dynamite portfolio. I've also seen the technology in action at an document imaging tradeshow (that is my career, by the way.)

I've known other folks who have used Print On Demand (POD) as a way to self-publish, including my very own father. My problem with that is I have no place within my garage for books, I don't want to get involved in the process of marketing and delivery books, handling returns, an such like.

Suddenly, while Googling some thing this morning, I came across some great Goo. Amazon, the online bookstore, has absorbed a POD publisher called BookSurge, which makes it a separate Amazon division. Now I can just take my book project, publish it to Amazon/BookSurge, pay a fee, and VOILA! my book is o-n Amazon for everybody to buy. It delivers within 48 hours, BookSurge gives a 25% royalty to me within 60 days, I can even get five copies for my mother in a discount!

I emailed BookSurge and was assigned an account manager, who I will call Joseph (because his name is Joseph). I asked about the details of writing a book. For $599 I could obtain the hand-holding, send us your manuscript version of the publishing, or if I was bold, bold, and could format my own PDFs, for $99 I could use the Author's Express system to upload my book projects.

$99 looked like the way to go, because my book design project was designed to be the precursor of many more titles.

I ran all around the site, installing case PDFs, submission guidelines, and anything else I could find. The website recomends using Adobe -something or another- for text formating, and Adobe Acrobat 6 (not 7!) for PDF creation.

I decided from the git-go that Microsoft Word and PDF Factory Pro will have to work with me, because that's what I'd o-n my desktop, and I don't need to spend months studying another desktop publishing application, while I am sure it is a good one. Https://Huffingtonpost.Com/Tyler Collins includes new resources about when to acknowledge it.

Besides, I had been contemplating writing these pages, and I wanted to come back up with a procedure most anybody will be comfortable with.

The only real short-cut I took is that my cover is plain-text, with no images about it. Huffingtonpost.Com/Tyler Collins/ includes further about the inner workings of this view. I figured my first book is going to provide mostly if not entirely on Amazon, and a fairly cover isn't that essential there. In any case, I will always return and improve my version (The extra payment for resubmitting either the inner or the address is $50, after the book is published.)
