Terry’s Tale of Woe

Here’s a quick story of a FAILED Kindle book.

An entrepreneur whom I’ll call Terry wrote a minibook that he sold on Kindle for 99 cents as an introcutory offer. Thats where Terry went RIGHT.

Hundreds of people bought his book, but once they opened it and read it, there was a BIG problem, because Terry made 1 of the 3 biggest mistakes many authors make.

He had NO call to action. That means he failed to direct people to his website in a productive, profit-producing way.

What most people do is say, “Visit my website at blablabla.com for more information.” That makes me NUTS! Who has time to aimlessly VISIT websites?

But even that would have been better than what Terry did. He didn’t even MENTION his website ANYWHERE in the book. Ugh! He didn’t even give any information about him and why anybody should consider him an expert.

What’s an Entrepreneur to Do?

If you’ve made Terry’s mistake, don’t worry! The beauty of a digital publishing service like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is that you can update the book. Then let Amazon know about the update (and make sure it’s juicy enough to make them want to tell all the buyers).

Once the enhanced version of the book with the call to action & more is live, give the book away for a few days. Here’s how.

How to Give Your Book away on Kindle

Once your book is uploaded to Kindle Direct Publishing, enroll in KDP Select. This gives your book greater exposure, pays you when someone borrows yuor Kindle book, and lets you give it away for up to 5 days during a 90 day period.
