- 40% of ALL dollars earned by authors from Amazon eBooks are earned by self-published authors, like you!
- Amazon will pay you 35-70% Royalties on your sales.

Two ways to conduct keyword research: 1. Use Google Adwords, a free service powered by Google that will show you what people are searching for online relating to your topic of interest. 2. By typing your topic of interest into the search bar of Amazon and noting what keyword phrases Amazon auto-fills in the dropdown menu.
If writing fiction, your title can be more abstract and the use of keywords in your title are not as relevant as in non-fiction.
Start by creating an elevator pitch for your book. Once you can clearly define your book in a brief statement, craft a compelling title and subtitle by placing at least one keyword in the title (optional) and especially in your subtitle. This will assist with Amazon ranking, but be mindful not to keyword stuff.
How to use HTML to optimize your Amazon book description.
You may copy and paste any of the three samples of copyright pages for use in your eBook. Remember to add your information where needed.
