How do I sell digital products on Amazon?

Updated

Pick the right programme

Start by picking the right programme, because there is no catch-all. Writing goes through Kindle Direct Publishing, software through the Appstore, and audio through the audiobook route. Prepare the file in the format that programme wants, set territories and price, then submit it for review.

Forcing a product into the wrong programme is the most common wasted week here.

Publishing an ebook

Prepare the manuscript in a supported format, add a cover, set the territories and the price, and submit. Review usually takes a day or two.

Your royalty rate depends on the price band you pick, so read that table before you choose a price.

Getting found once it is live

Amazon is a search engine too. The subtitle, the categories and the keywords do most of the work.

The first reviews matter enormously. Ask early readers directly.

For everything Amazon will not take

Templates, presets, planners and packs need a storefront or a community store instead.

Many sellers run both: the book for reach, and their own store for the higher-margin files.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Which Amazon programme should I use?
Its self-publishing programme for anything book-shaped. Files that are not books have no route in, so sell those elsewhere.
How long does approval take?
Usually a day or two for an ebook. Apps take longer and are reviewed more strictly.
Can I set my own price?
Within the bands Amazon allows. The royalty share changes between bands, so the price and the payout are linked.
Should I go exclusive?
Exclusivity brings extra promotion but blocks other channels for the term. Fine for a first book, limiting for a catalogue.
Do I need an LLC to publish on Amazon?
No. Individuals can publish and be paid. You will be asked for tax details, and the income is reportable like any other.
