Add the author's name

Enter the author’s name. It will be your identity for the book, and it could be your actual name or the pen name, and it entirely depends on your choice. If you have worked on the book with other people who have their fair share in the book’s content, then you also get the option to enter the names of more than one writer, depending upon how many people are involved in writing the book.

Add the description

Enter the book’s description after the title. That’s the next thing attempting to tempt the readers to read your work. Make sure to keep the report indulging and relevant to the content of your book. It must be kept minimal because it briefly gives a teaser of the events that are about to be discussed in the book. The description must not give out the main scenario of the book but just a hint. It is a complicated thing to do on the first go. However, there are several tips and tricks available on the internet by which you can accomplish this task. Amazon allows you to enter 4000 words in your description, wisely using this word count. It is more than enough words to give the main idea regarding your book.

Add the copyright information

Enter the copyrights details after you are done with the book’s description. If you are the author, then claim your rights over the book using available options. It is compulsory as it determines the authority you have over your work.

Add the keywords

Keywords are words related to the genre of your story, characters, or the content your book contains. So it holds some significant importance in directing your readers towards your content. Add the keywords that will get the readers towards your content; when a reader types a keyword, books relating to that appear. So keep the keywords relevant. It will help the readers access your text by using some words, so think over the keywords carefully.

Add the categories

Enter the categories for your book. It means the genre that your book deals with. You are allowed to use only two categories that best define the genre of your work: fiction, nonfiction, comics, etc. Again, this is an essential part that will help your readers find your book in the genre they like. If you want to target any particular audience, keep the categories relevant to the theme of your book. Also, you can select the age range if your book is mainly for kids or teens. It is not a compulsory thing, but it takes a look at it as well.

Make a marketing plan.

Marketing is a necessity when it comes to any business. It is a tactic that attracts an audience by promoting your work. You shouldn’t publish your book right away once it’s done, as this will deprive you of the opportunity to gain a larger audience. Instead, you must work and look for ways to gather a good amount of readers for your book. Use an effective marketing plan that will create hype for your work appropriately.

Enable DRM

Make sure to enable digital rights management (DRM). It is necessary so that no one can copy or steal your work, and it is a mandatory thing for the safety of your book. The security of your book is compulsory as you have invested your valuable time and energy in producing a book, and then someone can quickly gain unethical access to that. That will make you feel demotivated, so to avoid that, activate the digital rights management.

Convert into an epub file and upload the book cover

Once you are done with all the steps mentioned above, upload your book. Make sure to convert your work into an epub file to look to all the e-readers that see your book. The epub file is far more attractive than a simple word file, and it is yet another way to gain more readers.

After this, you must upload a book cover. Your book cover must give off a professional vibe. But that means that you go for a boring one. Keeping it subtle yet exciting should be the goal for a book cover, and it must be sufficient to gain potential readers’ attention.

Add ISBN

You can also preview your work if you want using the options available. It will give an idea of how your work will look to the readers. If you feel that you are missing out on something, you can make changes as well. You must enter an ISBN if you want your book to be published elsewhere apart from amazon, but you have the opportunity to leave that empty.

Add the territories

Enter the territories where you want your book to be seen. You can leave it worldwide unless there is a specific reason for you not to do that. Also, specify the royalty and pricing that you intend to opt for.

That is all that is required to publish your book on amazon.

If you make sure to keep the following pointers mentioned in mind, you are good to go in publishing your book on amazon. It isn’t a hard thing to get your famous on Amazon; it’s just the fact of how well you make use of the tips and tricks.
