For self-published authors, the new Kindle with special offers may be a blessing. The program allows vendors to advertise their wares, including books, alongside the Kindle book text on the eReader's screen. Readers of Kindles all over the world get to see the advertisement for your book. They can decide to purchase or ignore the ad. However, of the millions of Kindle users out there, chances are good that you will get some sales from the ad. Your ad must meet Amazon's specs before the company allows it on their site.
Instructions
1. Sign up for an account and give Amazon your shipping and payment information in Amazon Services. Check the home page for any specials that the company is running on Kindle ads at the moment.
2. Create your ad using the specifications described by Amazon Services. The company has an advertising style guide that describes the rules for branding, file size and more. Following the guidelines helps you to create an ad that Kindle users will see as professional.
