 7. Become Self-Publisher

Before the launch of the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing Platform (KDP), if you wanted to write a book and get it published you were at the mercy of publishing houses. You would first need to convince the publisher that your book idea was a good one and would sell well.

Then you would enter into a contract where they would take a sizeable part of your book sale income. Now anyone can use the Amazon KDP platform self-publish. Millions of self-published books are sold on Amazon every day and you can turn this into a very profitable side hustle.

With KDP you can publish a fiction or non-fiction book immediately and start selling to your audience.

Decide on the Books that you want to Publish

Think about what you are interested in and knowledgeable about to come up with ideas for books that you can self-publish. It is tougher to come up with successful fictional books than it is with non-fiction. But if you create a winner in fiction then you can really make a lot of money.

For non-fiction books, what skills and experience do you have that will help others? Write a list of the things that you have done and assess these for marketable ideas. Is there sufficient demand for your ideas?

For example, do you have experience in niches such as finance, digital marketing, copywriting or personal development? These are a few of the bestselling genres on Amazon.

Writing your Books

How do you feel about writing your own books? If you enjoy writing then you can do this yourself. All you need is a word processing application such as Microsoft Word or the free Google Docs or Librta Office suite.

If you are not a fan of writing or do not have the time to write your own books, you can still profit from the self-publishing side hustle. You will need to find a competent write to create your books for you. These people are called “ghostwriters” and have experience of writing books for others.

There are freelance marketplaces where you can find good ghostwriters and these include Upwork and Reedsy. Whether you decide to write the book yourself or outsource it to a ghostwriter you need to create an outline for your book.

Your outline needs to be clear and specific especially if you are going to outsource the writing task. When you are looking for a ghostwriter, check their credentials thoroughly. What kind of track record do they have? Do they have glowing testimonials from other customers?

Can they write the book in the style that you want? As you start to profit with your self-publishing side hustle you can reinvest some of your profits into the creation of a writing and editing team. The more high-quality books that you can publish, the more income you should generate from self-publishing.

Market your Books

There is a lot of visitor traffic for books on Amazon but we recommend that you do not leave it at that. Do everything that you can to market your book(s). You need a solid marketing plan for all of your self-published books so that you can tell your audience when you publish a new book.

Another approach that you can take with self-publishing is to create “low-content” books. These are popular on Amazon and examples are notebooks, calendars, planners, and more. Low-content books are much easier to create than full books. 

You can purchase templates for your low-content books which come with full commercial rights on a site like Niche Raiders.

Introduction to Stock Markets

  A stock market is a marketplace where investors buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. Shares, also known as stocks, represent ownership in a company. When you buy a share of stock, you are essentially buying a small piece of that company. Stock markets are important for a number of reasons. First, they provide a way for companies to raise capital.

Second, stock markets provide investors with a way to grow their wealth. When the price of a stock goes up, the value of an investor's investment also goes up. Investors can then sell their shares for a profit. Third, stock markets provide liquidity to investors. This means that investors can easily buy and sell their shares of stock when they need to.
