Guy sells 40,000 Kindle ebooks, makes $4,000 monthly - set to make $134,000 yearly when Amazon switches to 70% ebook royalty rate



I was so amazed with this guy's success with selling his ebooks on Kindle -- he's sold 40,000 ebooks just since last April, and makes $4,000 per month selling ebooks -- that it's seriously changing my whole paradigm about switching my Random House-hardcover book dreams.

"When the royalty rate for Amazon switches to 70%, I'll be earning $2.04 on a $2.99 ebook. That's $134,000 a year," says J.A. Konath about Amazon's current 35% payout rate. (Amazon.com will make the switch on June 30, 2010.)

And with all these ways you don't need a Kindle that Amazon is introducing, it seems like a great time to make this Kindle ebook switch in philosophy.

Talk about newfound inspiration!

Hi Christine -

Did you already see how to get the code from Google Analytics?

Once you get that HTML code, you want to copy it and paste it in your Examiner.com article by clicking on the "source" button on the top left-hand corner under the "Advanced Editor" tab when you write an article.

I'm assuming you've been writing under the "basic" tab, right?

If you click on the advanced tab that will give you a message that you're converting your article from basic to advanced, and can't go back to basic.

I'm so used to writing in advanced mode, that's all I use.

Anyway, once you're in the advanced mode and you've clicked on the "source" button, you'll see your article in HTML language -- so you can drop your Google Analytics language at the bottom and then publish as usual.

Another way to do the same thing would be to go to advance mode and click on the button that looks like a camera (to the right of the button that has a T and camera on it) -- the camera-looking button says "insert HTML code" when you hover over it, and this is the same one that you use to insert YouTube.com embed code, etc.

Anyway, clicking on that will bring up a box where you can also drop your Google Analytics code, if you don't want to use the "source" method.

Congrats on doing so well so soon!

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes.
