Welcome to Kindle Publishing for Blogs! Did any of you even know this feature existed? Well, you're about to get a crash course. Screenshots will accompany. If you want to see one live, here's my blog's page on Amazon.
Start by going here to the Kindle Publishing for Blogs homepage. Click on Create a New Account and follow the prompts to do so:
I'm gonna click sign in, and walk you through adding a blog. Click the button:
You'll be on a screen now that looks like this:
We're gonna set up your RSS feed. Go here if you're using Blogger and copy the second string. This one:
Replace the words blogname with your blog's name, and copy it again. Paste it into the form on Kindle Publishing for Blogs here:
Validate, please.
Now, fill out the next four boxes:
You need a screenshot of your blog, and you can get it by using the snipping tool. Be sure it's under 1MB in size (there is no dimension restriction). Save it as a JPEG or GIF. Upload it.
If you don't have your blog's banner, you can use the snipping tool in Windows to capture it, too. Be sure it's only 50px high by 430px wide and no more than 1MB in size. Save it as a JPEG or GIF. Upload it.
Next, enter your blog's web address, select a language, pick the categories you fit into, fill out your keywords, and select your posting frequency:
You're all done and ready to publish your blog to Kindle! Click zee button! You should be live within 48 hours. Be sure and fill out your account information so you can get paid when people subscribe.
Did you know this option was out there? Will you use it?
Come on back tomorrow for more on the Amazon Author Central page and what you can do there.
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
