This is my weekly progress report from 2/23 – 3/1. This is a pretty boring report besides the fact that instead of receiving a payment from Amazon they DEDUCTED money from me!

Thanks for watching!

Mike Koenigs walks through exactly how you can write, create, and leverage a best selling book on Amazon to build your brand, attract leads, and live a life on fire.

A big part of the reason we’re doing all this is to help build schools for underprivileged children around the world who don’t have access the public education like most of us do.

As an incentive to help us with this cause, we have donated our $997 “Product Launch on Fire” course, along with John Lee Dumas’s “Ignite Your Webinar” training, Brian Tracy’s Time Management and Leadership courses, Mike and Robin Pisciotta’s “List Building Machine” program, and several more to a package of training courses we’re calling the “Business on Fire Bundle”.

These courses sell for over $6,000 separately.

However, for a small donation of just $197 you can have them all!

Get instant access and make your donation today at http://BusinessOnFireBundle.com, and the proceeds from your donation are going to help build a school for needy children!

Here today to teach us how to publish a book on Amazon in less than 2 months is Amazon best-selling author, and internet marketing guru, Mike Koenigs!

What started Mike on his journey to write his first book is actually when he was receiving life-saving cancer treatment at Duke hospital.

Laying there facing possible death, Mike realized that although his career would be a form of his legacy for his family, for him, a book was a much more permanent form of legacy that he wanted to leave.

While on heavy doses of chemo, Mike could muster about an hour a day of energy that he would use to speak his book into his iPhone so that it could be dictated into written form.

Since then, he’s written 7 books and coached over 400 others on how to get their book written, published, and promoted on Amazon.

As Mike points out, creating a book is one of the fastest, easiest ways for others to consume your value and for you to spread your thoughts, ideas, and messages.

In the digital age we live in, not only can books be distributed at no additional cost to the author using means like the Kindle platform and audio books, but paperback books can essentially be printed on-demand through platforms like Amazon, eliminating the need to buy and maintain massive inventory.

Mike’s book writing process consists of 5 steps:

1. Preparation – This is where you determine what the theme of your book is going to be, who your audience is, and what problem or interest your book will address, as well as the title, subtitle, etc.

2. Performing – This can be you being interviewed to verbally “write” your book, you interviewing others, or possibly you dictating it and “interviewing” yourself.

3. Publish – Amazon.com has made it easier than ever to publish a book.

4. Promote – This step consists of leveraging all of the existing platforms that are out there such as Amazon and iTunes, digital and audio, and so on.

5. Profit – The final step is to convert all of the available mediums to actually making money, such as consulting, building your email list, and directly making products and services available.

When it comes to structuring the title, subtitle, and look of your cover, start with what’s already working. Go on Amazon, study the bestsellers in the category you want to write about, and find the commonalities those books have.

And, once you have your book completed and published, the possibilities of how you can use it are nearly endless.

You can use it to get speaking opportunities, land clients, land consulting opportunities, create interview opportunities, start your own podcast, and on, and on.

Mike has generously offered to make his book Publish and Profit available, which outlines this entire process in great detail at PublishAndProfit.com/Fire!

Get started today! As Mike says, “The world belongs to implementors!”

This video is an overview of how to make money self publishing books on Amazon’s Kindle Store.

A lot of people asked me how to make money with Kindle Publishing and fiction books so I made a tutorial on it. These tutorial isn’t going to cover EVERYTHING you need to know about publishing fiction books but it’s a great overview on how to get started.

It all starts with doing market research and finding out what’s selling. Fiction is a huge market on Amazon but there are some niches of fiction that have greater market demand than others. If you are purely trying to make money with fiction books then I recommend you publish books in the hottest niches.

After you find what’s selling you need to take a look at what the best selling books are doing and pay attention to patterns. There will be certain patterns that you notice among best selling books. Things such as keywords in the title, subtitle, the cover, the description, the categories, they have e-mail lists, they have a lot of books published, they are building a brand etc.

Make note of these patterns and implement them in your own books that you publish. The basic idea here is that you are modeling other successful publishers. The keyword is MODELING not COPYING. Copying won’t work, but if you find out what’s working for other successful publishers you can then put your own spin on it and should be able to see success yourself.
