How to Voice Your Message Love Your First Sales and Marketing Rewards
How to Voice Your Message Love Your First Sales and Marketing Rewards. I am sharing this news when my blog’s primary function is encouraging readers to consider investing in real estate as part of their financial portfolios.
Many of you have honoured me by reading several blog posts on my book-writing journey or even purchased my book. (Thank You)
Because many of you have an idea and a passion for sharing your message, I feel obligated to share what happens when you put pen to paper or fingers on a keyboard.
With my book published ……..
Then, the Magic Begins
It is rewarding to know that the magic starts with current technology once you set up your Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account and activate your book for sale.
How Long Can You See Money in Your Bank Account?
Selling your book through Amazon gives you worldwide sales and distribution.
Amazon sells into over a dozen worldwide markets and has multiple market revenue streams; however, the revenue can be deposited into one account—easy peasy. I love it.

Revenue Source First Time Around
The money deposited into my bank account was from two marketplaces, the United States and Canada.
Think about this moment: my next royalty payment for September sales will be at the end of November, and October’s sales at the end of December. Therefore, I generate monthly sales and royalty deposits as long as I create actions to produce book sales. (sounds like another topic for a future blog post)
Follow the Money
A good friend of mine, Jim, always tells me that when something happens in the world, good or bad, I should “Follow the money.”
When you write a book, like any product or service, you need to create an opportunity for more earnings.
Additional Revenue Through Expand Distribution
Even though I am ecstatic about using Kindle Direct Publishing to launch my book, Kindle Direct Publishing is all about Amazon.
The trick is to use your learned lessons to get your book published and marketed through Amazon. Take these lessons and create additional revenue through other online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Most sales organizations aim to touch as many points of sale as possible, allowing your product or service to reach as many consumers or customers as possible.
The Additional How
As an author or budding author, you should be aware of two organizations: one for getting your print book to all other worldwide book distributors and one to further your ebook reach.
Print Reach
IngramSpark (http://www.ingramspark.com) is a great organization to reach other online and brick-and-mortar retailers for your print books.
When you self-publish with IngramSpark, you join one of the publishing industry’s largest global book distribution networks and have access to over 40,000 points of sale.
- Independent bookstores
- Online stores
- Chain stores
- Ebook retailers
- Libraries
- Universities
Ebook Reach
Smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com) is the world’s largest distributor of indie ebooks. It makes it fast, free, and easy for any author or publisher, anywhere in the world, to publish and distribute ebooks to major retailers and thousands of libraries.
The Last Piece of the Distribution Puzzle
The foundation of my book is a result of writing a workbook and planning guide for my clients. The editor of my workbook and planning guide challenged me to write a book to expand the content. Thanks to the pandemic lockdown, I rose to the challenge and wrote my book.
Bad News, Good News
I also launched my workbook and planning guide in print one day after my book’s launch through Amazon.
However, when launching the digital interactive PDF version of my workbook and planning guide through Amazon, Amazon was honest and used caution signs.
Amazon and Kindle Direct Publishing admitted that launching an interactive PDF was not their forte. They suggested that I, as an author, find a different distribution method.
This bad news from Kindle Direct Publishing and Amazon that they don’t do interactive PDFs well opened the door to another revenue opportunity.
Free Doesn’t Pay the Bills
Setting up e-commerce through your website takes a little effort and some trial and error; mission accomplished.

I hope you will invest in yourself and your financial portfolio and purchase my book, workbook, and planning guide in ebook format. These books are very reasonably priced.
