docomo categories which I've got Linked
In the description below but the second
thing is you you want to stay away from
Ghost categories ghost categories are
category strings your book can be placed
under but aren't findable for Shoppers
without a direct link and this
inevitably makes your book nearly
impossible to find if you select ghost
categories Shoppers can't find your book
through the category system and you
can't be a best seller no matter how
many copies you sell what's worse is
that 25% of the categories listed are
actually ghost categories yikes let's
avoid those at all costs in order to do
this you need to try to find the
category through the Amazon store
category tree if you can't then it's a
ghost the much easier way is to use
publisher Rockets category feature not
only will it show you how many sales a
book needs to make in order to be number
one in a category it will also show you
which categories are ghosts and thus
which ones to avoid now back to our
Kindle ebook Details page after we
select our categories we come to the age
and grade range section this is mainly
for authors who are publishing
children's books make sure to select the
proper age range if this applies to you
and finally you need to select pre-order
status make sure to select the option
that fits your needs when it comes to
your release date and whether or not you
want readers to be able to pre-order
your book which for the record we highly
recommend why not get orders on your
book before it even comes out once you
complete this page make sure to hit save
and continue and we're on to the next
page Kindle ebook content Page look at
that we're cruising along and that first
page might have seemed like a lot lot
but it's really the toughest part on
this page we're going to be uploading
our actual files under the manuscript
section you select yes or no for the
digital WR management section if you're
unsure as to what that is and need a bit
more information hover over the blue
text here and in the Amazon description
will appear I typically choose no in
this section we will also be uploading
our manuscript by selecting the upload
ebook manuscript button here find where
your manuscript is located on your
computer and select choose for it to
start uploading this could be a simple
Google or Microsoft Word document that's
been converted to an UB file or one
created with professional formatting
software like attakus with attakus you
can actually format and create some
really nice ebooks I'll drop a link for
that in the description below in the
Kindle ebook cover section we have two
options to select from the first is to
use kp's cover creator to create your
own book cover or we can upload our own
cover although the cover creator gets
the job done there are limitations and
your books cover is one of the most
important features for your book so you
want to make sure to take your time and
create something that stands out now I
highly recommend uploading your own and
using a professional Creator from
elsewhere you'll have much more freedom
and be able to create a unique cover
that you can be really happy about and
hopefully it'll draw the right readers
to your book Kindle ebook previewer

previewer and see what our book looks
like on a Kindle or through the Kindle

uploading to check yourself and ensure

uploading your book the ISBN number is

book's ISBN number if you aren't sure
where to get your ISBN make sure to
check out the resources down below so
you can get yours squared away once
you're done here make sure to hit save
and continue and we're on to the last
page Kindle ebook pricing if you don't
know what KDP select is I recommend you
learn a little bit more about it before
choosing whether you want to enroll your
book in it or not I've enrolled books
and I've chosen not to there are pros
and cons to choosing either way and
it'll be really important for you to
choose which one makes the most sense
for your goals territories is where you
will select which territories you want
your distribution rights to be held the
royalty and pricing section is very
important and may require some research
to ensure that you are pricing your book
properly you can also use the KDP

what other books similar to yours have
been sold for in the past and make a
judge call from there as another option

royalty plan you wish to use and type in
your book's price here if there is some
account information missing at any point
during your upload process you will see
a warning sign here go back and correct
or fill in that information before
publishing then hit submit for pre-order
or publish and that's it you did it you
nailed it with all that done it can take
up to 72 hours for Amazon to publish
your book live but it also could be up
sooner make sure to check your email
Amazon will contact you when your book
is ready and published be sure to check
your book's Amazon page once it goes
live to ensure that there are no
mistakes and everything is in order if
everything is correct you're good to go
now that might have seemed like a lot
but if you followed along and took all
the steps you're better off than a
majority of authors who don't know
anything about keywords or categories or
even ghosts for that matter and you've
already got a competitive of Advantage
