Below, how can I get free distribution on Amazon on how it works, commentary on Karakuri, and what are the merits of it? It will be explained.

Initially, in fact, when cutting the commemorative book "Violent to the future" issued at the time of the 10th anniversary of GIGAZINE and trying to scan it, he was charged with a mechanism to watch the following words.

It's written here


I got you printed with an image that looks like it would appear when you cut it, just as I thought it would be unexpected.


"Scheduled to be an e-book"


So, after considering various things, we decided to select Amazon's Kindle as a platform and make it an electronic book by ourselves with the shape that does not interpose any publisher between.

So-called"Amazon Kindle direct publishingIt is a self publication called "It is self-publication.


So, from here it is the point, when it comes to exclusive publication only by Kindle "KDP selectNow that you can register for "Revenue rate paid by Amazonroyalty) From 35%Up to 70%To do. However, conditions are added to the price setting, the minimum suggested retail price is "250 yen", the maximum suggested retail price is "1250 yen".


Moreover, by participating in KDP select, it is unlimited "Kindle UnlimitedSo if you are an "Amazon Prime Member" you can read it in free and the revenue will be distributed from the "KDP Select Global Fund" as much as you have read it. The revenue calculation method is "Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC v2.0)It is calculated from the number of pages calculated based on standard formatting (font, line height, line spacing, etc.). Elements other than text such as images, tables, and graphs in the book are also counted.

In addition, by participating KDP select "Kindle owner library"Amazon Prime Membership" is also an e-book readable in a month, free of charge. In fact, if you are participating in "Kindle Unlimited" you feel almost pointless, but the calculation method is the same as "Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC v2.0)It becomes the same as ".

And the last of the KDP select participation privilege is the free distribution function of this time "Book free campaign"is. Even if it is not "Amazon Prime Member", it is readable on Kindle for free, and it is specified for only 5 days in 90 days after selling on Amazon, and you can download it for free. As a disadvantage, it is free, so no matter how many copies are downloaded, the revenue is "zero yen". Also in Amazon HelpEbooks are offered for free during the book's free campaign, so you can not receive royalties while the campaign is in progress"It is clearly stated that you can not get one yen.


However, if it is really only a disadvantage, it should not be restricted to "only 5 out of 90 days", but only 90 days or even 180 days for free distribution as much as you want. Because there is a mechanism that is disadvantageous to Amazon unless you limit it to "5 days only", it is limited. However, even if you read Amazon's help page "free campaign of books" to every corner, it does not describe what merit is in fact.

There is an official official "KDP newsletter" of thisIssue issued in December 2014, The merit was clearly stated as follows.

When the free campaign ends, the price of e-books purchased at 0 yen returns to normal price. At that time, the person who bought this item is posted in the place of buying such items. Please take a good look at the sales page of your e-book. Other people 's e - books will be posted on "people who bought this product are bought such a product". Here, make sure your e-books are posted. To buy a book that does not sell a single book is something you can notice. If you hear that the e-book you are buying, that is, the e-book you are selling, the possibility of purchasing increases.

In other words, by being counted as a part of the purchase history of those who downloaded for free, the other Kindle books "People who bought this product are also buying such products" will be published Therefore, it became to be purchased constantly even after the free download period ended!


Even if it is an unknown author, this mechanism makes it possible to appeal on Amazon without using advertising expenses and advertising expenses, so it's possible to appeal on Amazon, so "self-publishing with Amazon's Kindle, so we can make friends and acquaintances As you are following "When you read", as soon as you turn on "book's free campaign", it becomes part of the purchasing history of friends and acquaintances, so that other Kindle books " It will be posted on "I am also buying products", which will make it easy for other Kindle users to catch up with, which will result in increased revenue.

If you are already participating in the "KDP Select", you can use the "free campaign of this" is set in the order as follows.

Since the number of days for free campaigns can be divided into one day by 24 hour break, up to five times can be performed during 90 days. Since the start date and the end date are set in Pacific Standard Time, for example, if starting on January 1, 2017, in Japan time it will be "17 o'clock on January 1, 2017" and it will be off 17 hours. During the daylight savings time it will be moved an hour further, so it will start at 16 o'clock. In the fiscal year 2017, since the US has entered daylight saving time from March 12, this campaign is "April 25 (Tue) 16 o'clock start".
