How I created a “Bestselling” Amazon eBook in a week for less than $100
Becoming a “bestselling author” is a dream for many.
If it’s your desire and you want it simply for the bragging rights, here’s a little guide you can follow.
If you actually want to make a career of writing books, this might help you get your start.
But if you’re looking for a serious award and to make it onto a “legit” list like the NYT, this isn’t the guide for you.
I put this together as I recently created a short (9800ish words) eBook and got it to rank in the #1 spot in multiple categories on the Amazon Kindle store.
Why am I writing about what I did? Well…
- There’s a lot of misconceptions about being a “bestselling author”
- There are a few benefits to having a book do well
I’ll kick this off by saying anyone who brags about being an “Amazon Bestselling Author” is a pretentious dick.
It’s super easy to achieve and counts for nothing in the grand scheme of things.
However, there can be benefits.
I’ll run you through the system I used to achieve this with about a week’s worth of effort and 3 hours of promotion time.
