Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing opens doors for monetizing writing skills

There are lots of opportunities for educated youth in Pakistan to make money by publishing their books with different levels of content on Amazon.

Syed Muneeb Ali, the Chief Executive Officer of Scale Up Direct Publishing, spoke to APP on Sunday and stated that Amazon's Direct Publishing platform eliminates the need for traditional publishers and allows authors to publish their content without selling rights or relying on bulk publications. Content writers don't have to worry about page quality, cover design or binding.

Content writers can reach a wide and diverse audience through Amazon, as the platform is available in over 16 countries and supports multiple languages. He noted that the scope for the Urdu language in the international market is limited due to the lack of a presence in Pakistan.

Muneeb advised creators to first look for market demand. There are many other interesting subjects to explore, despite the fact that topics such as artificial intelligence andcryptocurrencies have been highly sought after recently.

Amazon uses a print-on-demand model in which books are printed and delivered to customers as soon as orders are received online, according to Muneeb. He said that this eliminates the need for bulk publication.

Low-content books, which often feature activities for users to participate in, are in high demand on Amazon.

Medium-content books offer unique content on each page, such as coloring books, activity books and puzzle books, while high-content books are rich in content.

Authors can also publish e-book versions of their books, which can be read on tablets and applications. He emphasized the importance of publishing on international platforms.

Muneeb told aspiring writers to explore a niche, identify their target audience, and create relevant content. Digital platforms are able to recognize and promote original and unique content.

Publishers can use Amazon's self-help tool to identify errors in their books, such as margin issues, heading formatting, cover design, and interior layout, he said.

Muneeb said that newcomers can learn the process of self-publishing within 30 to 90 days and that it is easy to sign up for an email account. He said that authors can easily get their earnings from their bank accounts.

The potential for educated youth in Pakistan to use online earning opportunities through Amazon is significant, according to him. Young authors can showcase their talent, reach a wider audience, and make money from their unique content by using this platform.
