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.

Amazon Kindle for Blogs publishing is an easy and fast way to self-publish a blog and sell your blogs on the Kindle store. Besides blogs you can also add your magazine or newspaper to the site.

Making Money with Kindle Blogs

By selling your Kindle Blogs through the Amazon Kindle Store you can earn money each month.

Amazon will pay you 30% of the monthly blog subscription price for every subscriber of your blog. You can not set the price of your blog, Amazon will define the price depending on what they deem a fair value for their customers.

There are also rules for instance, this service is only available to blogs in the United States, a blog cannot be free as Amazon determines the price, and currently you can only publish html blogs on Kindle.

Blogs posts will be updated automatically through Amazon all you have to do is write a new blog post and your readers will receive it withing a time frame determined by Amazon.

You are allowed to post links in your blog and determine what category to place your blog in.

In order to promote your Kindle blog you can place a Kindle Chicklet next to your RSS chicklets or elsewhere or your site to let your customers know that you blog is available through Amazon Kinde. If you are an Amazon Associate you will receive referrals for all qualifying purchases on Amazon.com including 10% on the Kindle device.

Promote your Kindle blog through other outlets such as writing articles, Twitter, Facebook and other social media outlets. Let your friends and family know about your Kindle blog and post the blog URL in as many resources and you can think of.

Once you have signed up for Kindle blogs the site provides a help center to answer questions and a community forum that lets bloggers communicate with others.
