Some Kindle publishing observations: if one has bought a couple of the WSO’s, Paul Coleman and James Jones, for good examples; that’s enough, because it ain’t really complicated!
Forget PLR or using copyrighted material for anything but ideas and inspiration. Then do some G and Wiki research on something that interests you…something you feel passionate about: music or sailing or butterflys.
Putting what you KNOW about something – diet or speedboat racing or philately – is what others will pay for. Most anyone can write 30 – 500 word pages about something they’ve learned, but the hard part is just sitting down and doing it. But in 15 days of 2 pages a day, and then another week for editing, spell-checking, getting a fivver cover and fooling around with Mobi and it’ll be done!
I think Kindle is NOT the place to “Fake it ’till you make it”, if you’re trying to write about something you have no knowledge of, it’ll come across and people won’t buy and won’t give you decent reviews.
For me at least, Kindle publishing begun to fulfill the promise of success that has finally materialized. With 3 Kindle “oil wells” up and 2 pumping away, l love looking at the daily updates! Now the challenge is, do I know about anything else…?
