So guess what? I did it—I became an author on Amazon KDP! And let me tell you, I’m feeling all kinds of excited about it. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and today I finally got that email from Amazon that made it all real: “Your book is available in the Kindle Store!” Now if that doesn’t light up your day, I don’t know what will!

I was actually playing golf when I got the email, luckily I only had 4 holes to go. But I refocused after the excitement and finished good.

I have to give a big shoutout to Mel Waller for sparking this fire in me. His recent post—Have You Published on KDP Amazon Yet?—was exactly the push I needed. Sometimes it just takes seeing someone else do it to remind you, “Hey, you’ve got this too.” So thank you, Mel—your words came at the perfect time.

I also want to take a moment to thank the whole Wealthy Affiliate community. Seriously, I’ve learned so much here from people who are generous enough to share their knowledge freely. The tips, tutorials, and encouragement on this platform are pure gold—and it’s all been a game changer for me.

Now that I’ve gone through the KDP process and got that first book out there, I’m hooked. I see the possibilities now. This is just the beginning for me. I’m already diving into new ideas, researching different topics, and thinking about what I want to publish next. I know the road ahead won’t be perfect, but I’m here for the journey. One step, one book at a time.

So if you’ve been thinking about publishing on KDP, take this as your sign. Start. Learn. Keep going. You never know what doors it might open.

Good morning Larry,

Congratulations on publishing your first book, that's great news! I'm also pleased that you have been encouraged by so many people on the platform, it's a great place!

It's interesting how you read Mel's post, I also read it and felt inspired to do something.

Out of interest, how easy was the process to create an e-book?

It's great that you now want to publish more books, Larry, I look forward to hearing more!

All the best with your publishing and have a great day.

Thank you! The process wasn't hard as I thought. With ChatGpt helping, it made the process go a little smooth. Of course ChatGpt isn't perfect, so There were a lot of rough drafts before I published.

It's a pleasure!

That's good to hear, Larry! I can believe that ChatGPT helped to speed up the process and made it go smoother. Good for you for making it happen. I guess another book may follow soon!

Have a great day and all the best.

Did you create the cover yourself on Canva or did AI create it for you?

1

Many thanks. I will.

Ai created it for me..

I am being taught by AI to create it myself - not just for Kindle, but also for paperback.

1

Cool. I plan to make mine a paperback next..

What name did you publish it under Larry?

When I first saw your post, I was also surprised because I just published another ebook using my last WA blog post. I have purchased a copy of yours.

It can take up to 24 hours for the sale to be reflected on your ebook's page so watch for it and if you didn't already purchase a copy for yourself. If sales ranking is in the Top 100 of any category that will make it an Amazon Bestselling Title. :-)

Congrats again, Larry! Amazon's newest Author.

Mel
