Becoming an international bestselling author

Is the big A really the only way to make it as an Indie author? In today’s episode we address a question that has been tormenting us. If we publish via KDP, are we really independent? Or is Amazon just another publishing house? Joanna Penn is an absolute expert on this subject. Together with her we dive into the ups and downs of Amazon and other streams of income for selfpublishers. Crowdfunding? Direct sales? We got it all covered! Join us and our journey to true independence.

So you have translated your book, changed the title on the cover and since you have published on amazon before, you just upload the book in a different market and you are an international bestselling author? Right? Well, we suspect that’s not how it works. When it comes to publishing your ebook to a new market on amazon we have turned to an absolute expert when it comes to the Big A. Together with Dave Chersson - the Kindlepreneur himself - we check out all the different things to dive into before publishing in a new market on amazon. So don’t miss out on our conversation about book titles, languages and why in Spain your protagonist should not show his gun on the book cover! 😊 Links from the episode (*partly affiliate links - thanks for supporting the show) Mini Habits by Stephen Guise // https://amzn.to/3Pq9UtC [https://amzn.to/3Pq9UtC] Atomic Habits by James Clear // https://amzn.to/45VoZKI [https://amzn.to/45VoZKI] Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell // https://amzn.to/3LrBaH1 [https://amzn.to/3LrBaH1] Foundation by Isaac Asimov // https://amzn.to/3rbdDmO [https://amzn.to/3rbdDmO] HASHTAGS [#](https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bookt… [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bookt…] [#](https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bookc… [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bookc…] [#](https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/autho… [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/autho…] ---------------------------------------- HERE you can find us Dave Chesson web: www.kindlepreneur.com [http://www.kindlepreneur.com/] email: dave@kindlepreneur.com [dave@kindlepreneur.com] X: @DaveChesson facebook: www.facebook.com/KindlePreneur [http://www.facebook.com/KindlePreneur] M.B.

The international book world is in change.
