Kindle Allows Writers to Share Blogs on Amazon
As a writer there are many venues for publishing. Amazon provides writer's with the ability to self-publish their books and sell them on Amazon Kindle. Bloggers can also publish their blogs through Amazon Kindle and obtain more readers while earning money self-publishing a blog.
Kindle Blogs are automatically delivered wirelessly to a readers Kindle throughout the day. The reader does not have to be connected in order to view their subscription and they can read in full context with color images.
You don't have to own a Kindle to read Kindle books and blogs. Items can be viewed on iPhones, iPads, Laptops, PC's and other wireless devices.
In order to start publishing your blog through Amazon Kindle here are a few suggestions before posting your blog to the site.
1. A blog should be interesting, have a niche that others will enjoy reading and something that readers will want to pay for in order to read.
2. Niche blogs about a certain subject (parenting, crafts, book authors, gardening) will attract more subscribers. Be sure to pick a subject you are passionate about and can write on a regular basis.
3. Have something to say on your blog. Don't just post ramblings or your views about a subject. Write about subjects people will want to read. Share links to other sites that offer free samples, discounts, or suggested reading for visitors.
4. If you are a writer and have self-published books keep your readers updated on what your books are about, what you are currently working on and answer readers questions.
5. Offer free stuff such as free patterns, free eBooks, free how to information, etc.
6. Be sure to post to your blog at least 3 to 4 times a week. The more you post about your topic the more readers you will be able to attract. Readers will pay to read your blog on their Kindle but only if you have something to read about on a regular basis.
Once a blog is established bloggers can move on the next step and start posting a blog on to the Amazon Kindle Publishing for Blogs site.
