    Lol, you are selling only two books in two months and you are been congratulated.

    As far as Kindle and eBook is concern, you need a little push to get the sales rolling and coming.

    A lot of times, your niche could be responsible for the slow or no sales.

    Things that you might be doing wrong

    What exactly are you writing on? Probably topic people don't care about.

    Have you bothered to checkout the top ebooks that made the most sales on Kindle? What made them so.

    Do you research your niche and keywords before embarking on ebook writing? This could be a big slap on your face because it's like embarking on a journey with no purpose.

    You don't promote and properly optimize your publication, how will you be seen.

    Do you have any reviews on your ebook? People love to see this before parting with their hard earn money and time..

    Have you initiated a giveaway to influence good ratings? You never can tell how many people will love your book from free dates and that's means positive ratings.
    Did your ebook have any negative review? This could set you up for failure especially when the negative remarks is more than the positive. It's natural to have a few negative but if it surpasses the positive then you stand little chances of success because it means less votes for you.
    While all of these won't matter much if you have a site and/or facebook fanpage dedicated to ardent readers and receiving tons of targeted traffic daily. It will naturally run the course for you.

    If you find yourself in the less popular niche or topic people don't care to read about you either take your ebook to them or you are going nowhere..

    Marketing Tips

    Promoting your book has become essential if you want to earn good royalty.

    1. Stop writing and writing meaningless books. John Locke sold over 1million copies at $0.99 in 5months. He had put enough time and resources into the making of the book before and after. What am insinuating here is, research and write your book, get critics to criticize, proof read it before publication. You don't need hundreds of books to make money that's the shot gun approach that doesn't work..

    2. eCover - Your ecover should be attractive and eye catchy, a poor ecover put people away. It's just like cars, people start appreciating the car first by the design before taking a look at the interior and proceeding to part with funds.

    3. Price - You will need to experiment with your price. Basically, set a low price for a book you just published with no reviews, promo or traffic and gradually increase the price as it starts looking up.

    4. Optimization - Don't mess with your site title and description. It's even more vital than the time you put into writing the book because that's what push people into buying your book. Before i eat a food, it has to be appetizing from the outward. An eye-catchy short title and description make the selling quite easy.

    5. Niche - Truly, this is what determines your profitability. Joke with your niche and your royalty will suck. Always take the time to research the niche to know if it's going to have a profitable market. You can use Google keyword planner to ascertain that or browse Kindle to see if topics on that categories make any headway.

    6. Facebook - Build your fan page for solely book readers.. If you have a fan page and some genuine likes you can promote your post on FB for mere $10+. I implore you do this carefully because not all niches convert well on FB. The dating niche will actually be a bang.

    7. SEO - Traffic from the search engine is vital. Lots and lots of business depends and survive off SE. You should create a site around your ebook niche and rank on Google for your keywords. You can also build backlinks to your ebook page to help increase ranking in Google book e.t.c.

    8. Video - Make a killing amazon video trailer is MUST as it does a pretty good job all the time. Optimize the videos for your keywords and rank on Google. I can't emphasize how marvelously this works...

    8. Forums - Sign up for any good book forums or related niche and see how you can promote your book though this has some limitation based on the forum rules..

    9. Kindle Give Away - Set up a free dates for your ebook and giveway free copies. The aim is to help you get reviews that will position your ebook for success. There are cases where positive reviews are all it takes to bank royalties..

    Well, i can go on and on....

    There are lots of ways to promote your amazon Kindle and make money off it.

    To Your Success,
    Johnny
