    Sure. Happy too, won't go super deep as it would take too long to type. But basically you want to very carefully consider both your keywords and categories. 1. Categories: Amazon has hundreds upon hundreds of categories. You get to choose two per book so you have to balance the following...

    Would need to research the market before I could answer that, I don't publish randomly - I research the marketplace and make sure it seem that there is a high liklihood of it being successful. They are going to be very short, I'm going to target Amazons new "short reads" categories and build...

    No worries. HHope it helps. 1) I keep them less than 10,000 words. As long as you are very targeted with the topic of the book you can keep them short and to the point. As its non-fcition people are looking for value, and as long as you give the value they want (shown in title and description)...

    Aight, sorry wasn't clear on your Q. Non-fiction : 23 Fiction: 2 - again this has been halted for months unfortunately. Going to be hiring more. Also got a few unpublished books that weren't good enough quality to put out. My own fault for not testing the writers enough.

    Yeah, I call this the "interview model" - so you can interview experts and pull together a book on the topic. Or to run with your example - you could hit up a retirement home and get old war stories or something like that (just spit balling here). You could sit and talk to them, record it and...

    Wassup 1. Both - I started in non-fiction. I was moving into fiction and having decent success, my writer was putting togetheer an awesome erotica series and two books so far were done but her daughter has been in hospital for past few months (with MS I believe) so her mind is basically...

    No worries. Booked a flight and went over, I'm from UK so not sure what I can offer about US. Rent an apartment, I got a room on Craigslist and explained the situation to the renters/landlord - seemed happy. Was only there for a few months though until I ended up on my mates couch. Drive...

    My name isn't attached to any of the books. I use pen-names and I build out a pen name and then make that pen-name the expert. As for the other Qs - it goes without saying you can't put out shit quality work. A) you get slaughtered in reviews B) book doesn't make any money C) whats the point...

    6 I believe, would need to go back and check the records though. To answer your next Q. Marketing I played around with all the free book sites and stuff but didn't see much traction on it. Too hard to control as lots of people were submitting so no guarantee of books being featured. I prefer...

Ideally I want all my books at 3.99, but...

    What I did when I was doing it was not actually try to drive sales but instead I drove to a squeeze that gave away two chapters of my book for free - which got them on my email list and then I could sell on the book. Was somewhat successful. Was like 0.04c a click so was fun to experiment...

    No worries dude. Pretty sure Tout has a no credit-card free trial (thats what I used when I did it). Elance tends to be more expensive. Odesk often has very poor candidates so you often need to filter through more to find a killer. Pete
