Amazon doesn’t really say how the pricing is set for blogs. Most big company blogs run $1.99.
Speaking of big blogs… these are the only ones categorized in the Kindle front page directory at this time. As a publisher of a lesser publicized blog, you’ll most likely need to push for your Kindle blog to be seen and subscribed to (like writing a blog post). This is why I play the importance of using targeted keywords when setting up your account. Think about what people search for and use the Adwords Keyword Tool to zone in your niche.
Kindle Publishing Available for Blogs
And the other cool thing, you can starting making your blog available to the Kindle Publishing for Blogs Beta program.
All you need to do is sign up for an account (this is separate from your Amazon account). Add your RSS/Atom Feed Address. Specify how your readers will identify to your blog and how your blog will be categorized. Then agree to the terms and conditions, hit Save, and Publish blog to Kindle.
In 24-48 hours will blog will be available in the Amazon Kindle Store!
Revenue Royalties
According the the terms and conditions, it specifies that publishers of blogs will receive 30% of sale revenues actually received from the sale (that’s $0.297/per sale for me!). Ya, its not really a great money maker. But it is another method to increase your blog’s visibility.
*Tip: Make sure when you target keywords when specify how readers will identify to your blog.
You can read anywhere with a free Kindle Reading App. Available for your iPhone, Windows PC, Mac, BlackBerry, iPad, Android and Windows Phone 7.
