Summary: Is the <a style="color: #3366ff;" href="http://www.strengthinbusiness.com/e-book-monetize-marketing-ideas/" target="_blank">eBook revolution</a> just a fad? Are headlines such as “Amazon selling over 1 million Kindles a week” a thing of the past? What category is responsible for the decline of the publishing industry? Still worth joining the Kindle game?<br> Loads of questions… and loads of answers presented as Kindle marketing tidbits coming up to help you better understand the eBook marketplace.<br> The debate is heating up between eBook supporters and those looking forward to seeing people move back to hard and soft covers, or paperback versions. Whether this “war” makes sense or not… well, I’ll leave that question to you.<br> I prefer to focus on the positive side of the story and provide you with some actionable eBook AKA Kindle marketing tips that you can implement right away to become a leading authority in your industry, increase brand awareness and make money at the same time.<br> Sounds good?<br> In today’s article I’ll provide you with a list of seven proven Kindle marketing tips to help you launch your book on the world’s leading eCommerce site Amazon and finally earn some money on the side — at least in the beginning, until you find your sweet spot.<br> Before I share these tips with you, I’d like to point out two things:<br> 1. First of all, I’m sharing my personal experience with you. This is NOT something that I read in some fancy magazine or heard about while attending some weird happy-clappy seminar. I’m sharing with you the real deal here. I’m providing you with solid eBook and Kindle marketing strategies.<br> So far, I have published seventeen books on Amazon — both Kindle and CreateSpace. Furthermore, I’ve helped my clients publish numerous books in the following industries: health and fitness, real estate, brokerage, investment banking, social media, children’s books, physical science and more.<br> Yes, I’ve done a ton of mistakes during the past five years since I launched my very first book, however, I also learned a ton of awesome strategies and techniques. Among the numerous valuable lessons that I learned, is also how to turn a book into a bestseller on Amazon.<br> I accomplished this with my German book “Die Podcasting-Goldgrube”. Feel free to check it out on <a style="color: #3366ff;" href="http://www.amazon.de/Die-Podcasting-Goldgrube-umfassende-Ratgeber-Podcast-Einsteiger-ebook/dp/B00JRWEGRU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1438792735&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Kindle</a> or <a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.createspace.com/5131702" target="_blank">CreateSpace</a> if you speak German.<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Die-Podcasting-Goldgrube-umfassende-Ratgeber-Podcast-Einsteiger-ebook/dp/B00JRWEGRU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1438794570&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-9803"></a><br> 2. Second, I’d like to share with you a recent Slideshare presentation on “The Changing Mix of What Sells in Print: How eBooks Have Changed the Book Marketplace”.<br> The following charts and graphs published by <a style="color: #3366ff;" href="http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html" target="_blank">Nielsen</a> offer some interesting insights.<br> For example, sales of eBooks seem to peak in the first two quarters of the year. Why is that so? The obvious explanation that comes to mind, is that people load content on their Kindles, smartphones and tablets they received as a Christmas gift during the festive season.<br> Quite interesting to see categories such as Religion/Bibles and Juvenile Non-Fiction continue their double-digit growth while Fantasy, General Fiction, Mystery/Detectives, Travel and Craft/Hobbies/Game decrease 33% and more.<br>
