Greetings hive hustlers... it's a new month and I know some of you have written down your goals for this month,I have too...I pray we all smash it and if you haven't, it's not late to do that.
So...now is another time to talk about business and Marketing ideas.
One of the hot topics in Nigeria these days is about publishing books on Amazon and earning in dollars like it's all over my news feed on Facebook and the WhatsApp status of some of my contacts,is it same for you?
But is it worth it? And then what does it cost and how do you get started?
About 2 weeks ago, I decided to nosedive into the topic and this post is a summary of what you should know if you plan to start earning in dollars via Amazon Kindle direct publishing(kdp).

I bet you've heard of Amazon before but in case you haven't, Amazon is an E-commerce company owned by Jeff bezos( one of the richest man in the world). Amazon kdp is Amazon's self publishing platform,where you can publish a book and readers around the world can buy digitally that is, in the form of an Ebook or print on demand book. Gone are the days book authors or writers struggle to write,publish and make sales from their books.kdp allows the authors to get connected with readers all over the world without making use of the traditional method of publishing and waiting till your book gets to different countries, making it more expensive.
