How Does Amazon KDP Work?

Before we go any further, we first think that it would be helpful to first take a moment to outline what Amazon KDP is, exactly.

In a nutshell, Amazon KDP is an extension of the Amazon platform that allows prospective publishers and authors the opportunity to explore the world of self-publishing with very little financial investment or risk.

This particular part of the Amazon platform was initially developed in the early 2000’s and was first launched in 20007 – this was around the same time that Amazon first began to roll out the Kindle.

To follow on, it’s also worth noting that Amazon KDP also allows everyone from the biggest publishing houses in the game, all the way to individuals that dream of being a writer and having their very own book published, the opportunity to easily begin distributing their very own eBooks electronically.

In particular, for those that want to dip their toes into the world of self-publishing and want to fulfill a lifelong dream or career goal – Amazon KDP is an awesome way to cover everything from the conceptual stage, all the way to marketing and then, of course, actually starting to get paid.
