The Benefits of Using Amazon KDP Select with Your Self-Published eBook
Self-publishing has become a popular way for authors to get their work out into the world. One of the best platforms for self-publishing is Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). With KDP, authors can easily upload and sell their ebooks on Amazon.com. And now, with the KDP Select program, authors have even more advantages.
What is Amazon KDP Select?
KDP Select is a program that allows authors to make their ebooks exclusive to Amazon for 90 days. During this time, your ebook cannot be sold on any other platform, including your own website. In exchange for this exclusivity, you gain access to a variety of marketing tools and benefits.
Boosted Visibility
One of the biggest benefits of enrolling in KDP Select is boosted visibility. When you enroll in the program, your book becomes eligible for inclusion in Kindle Unlimited (KU) and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL). These programs allow readers to borrow books from a library of over one million titles at no additional cost. As an author enrolled in KDP Select, you will earn royalties when readers borrow and read your book through these programs.
Promotional Tools
Enrolling in KDP Select also gives you access to several promotional tools that can help boost sales and visibility. You can offer your book for free or at a discounted price during select periods using Kindle Countdown Deals or Free Book Promotion. These promotions can help increase downloads and reviews which can lead to increased visibility on Amazon’s search results.
Higher Royalties
When enrolled in KDP Select, you are eligible for higher royalties through the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library and Kindle Unlimited programs. Through these programs, you earn a share of the monthly fund based on how many pages were read by subscribers who borrowed your book.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for ways to increase your visibility and boost sales for your self-published ebook, Amazon KDP Select is a great option. With boosted visibility, access to promotional tools, and higher royalties, it’s an excellent way for authors to get their work in front of more readers.
