I spent a little time working yesterday, tweaking my website here
and there.
A kid with a new toy.
Actually, it was a necessity.
I’ve decided to go back to being Amazon exclusive for a while.
I notified Smashwords, and “unpublished” my eBook titles
there. While I’m still showing up at
Blio, Flipkart, and Oyster, I’m confident that I’ll be able to click the “enroll”
button very soon at Amazon KDP to enroll all of my titles in Select…and Unlimited.
My decision is based on the fact that I’ve been exclusive to
Amazon for a few years, and the borrows from Prime members actually helped my
income.
I’m hoping that Kindle Unlimited does the same thing.
But, if it doesn’t, it’s only a three-month trial, right?
If Unlimited doesn’t perform as well for me as I hope, I can
always go back to Smashwords, and I can always start offering my stories
through my own website with Sellfy and PayPal.
And now we come back to what I was tweaking on my
website: I was setting up links that
lead directly to Amazon for each version of each title.
Then, yesterday afternoon, my wife and I went to babysit two
of our grandkids while their parents celebrated their wedding anniversary. I got a little bit written, but when the
grandkids want Grampy to play, how can I not heed the call?
Each independent author has to make their own business
decision as to the path they take. What
is best for me right now is exposure, and I think that being part of Kindle
Unlimited will help that…for now.
My options are always open, however…and yours should be,
too. And it’s only three months. I can do that standing on my head!
But, as for you…just…
Keep reading!
