Making money on amazon

Do people make money on amazon if they entire books that are not self help and not fiction?

I have not yet found an answer to this question....

Projects to think about

One of the projects I have been thinking about and have talked about here is undergoing a slight change in that imam thinking that a ten book project may be the way to go.

The problem with this great idea is that I don't yet have 10 projects or books that I want to do!

I have several that I have spoken about here before but not ten.

I was also thinking of putting them on the amazon kdp system. With that in mind I have joined it almost.

I say almost as there are a lot of tax questions to answer, and not being from the USA a lot of the questions don't make much sense. I rather like the idea that they think I am going to sell shed loads of books....

Sadly I know that that will never happen as non fiction books just don't sell in that kind of numbers, and as my books are also not self help the market for my kind of non fiction books must be small, but you can only write what you are interested in and sadly I am not a fiction writer or a self help writer.

Any way so it looks like I shall have to answer more strange questions aimed at people who live in the USA and also come up with more book ideas.

I have to admit to reading some books on how to publish on the kindle and it looks like I can do most of the things they suggest apart from the fact that I don't write fiction or self help books which are some of the biggest sellers on amazon!

Nice

Nice what's nice?

Well I shall soon have a break from work for a few days and that is always good, and I must admit that I do need it.

As is usual on these sort of things I shall be having a lie in in the mornings at least to seven in the morning!

Yeah a real lie in, I say this because I will not sleep much later than this even if I try real hard...

Bank holiday

Spent the bank holiday relaxing.....

Snooks

I have had a couple of ideas for a series of small snooks, which would be a fun project to do. I don't think they have any commercial value but they would be fun to write. The other thing would be the amount of research that I would have to do for each of them.

I have looked if I could put them in a format so that any device can read them, sadly it looks like kindle is the way to go these days but and this is something I will have to check is can you give your books away for free?

Does amazon like the idea of people giving away books, as it means they don't get to make any money. As I don't expect to make any money it's not a problem for me.

So you may be asking what are the series of books then?

Well, the first series of books would be on citrus fruits, the second series would be on the worlds favourite four drink that are not alcoholic the last series of books would be on the top five metals in the world.

As you can see each series is very different from the other, with lots of research needed.

I don't know how long these books in each series would be but I a thinking that ten to fiery pages is looking good.

I think I shall have to give theses ideas a bit more thought and see if they are do able.

Reading

Currently read a book called Electric Sheep by Alex Boese the first part of the book was very good but the second part I have struggled with, for me it just does not flow as well as part one.

Other than that its a nice read.

Summer

Has summer now happened?

No 

I think it's still going on but it's now back to being a standard British summer!

Reading

I have to be a little bit proud of myself in that I have managed to finally after months of trying managed to finish a book, I am so happy that I managed this.

It still leaves me with ten or more books that I have to read some of them I got to page ten or so and then for one reason or another gave up.

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is......

Tea!

And as I have said here many times why not?!

Ontology

New word of the day for something that I think aloof use have and do do on or even several times a day and that knowledge storage.

It's a strange word ontology all them o just look strange to me.

Hot plume

The weather people earlier in the week said and this was as it was raining cats and dogs that on Thursday we would have very high temps of 33 or more centigrade and you know what?

They were right!

I know scary......

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is....

Innis & gunn oak aged beer the original 

I must admit that this is a beer that is hard to get hold of and that it needs to be about 4 centigrade when you drink it otherwise the beer is not at its best to drink. It's a strong beer 6.6 percent but for all that its a nice beer to have now and then.

New month

A new month already!

Where did the time go?

Well time to get on and enjoy
