I've experimented with the Amazon Kindle publishing program and have only sold about 2 ebooks with it. This is a program that allows writers to publish their works for free and earn a commission based on a royalty agreement with Amazon. What doe we mean by Amazon Kindle? It simple refers to the electronic device sold by Amazon that allows people to read ebooks, watch movies and do a lot of stuff they normally prefer to do with mobile devices but more interestingly.Testimonies: Let's testify
You know Nigerians like to be inspired by testimonies so I think it is best to first of all give you guys a bit of some success stories of writers who make millions of naira yearly from the Amazon Kindle publishing program.Amanda Hockings:
This is a young fiction write who writes mostly for Kindle although some of here books are also coming out as paperbacks. She didn't start successfully as she has already written a novel but was unable to get a major publisher to sign her up.

Re: Make money writing for Amazon Kindle Reply by Felix Okoli on Tuesday March 18, 2014 at 8:48:9: For Nigerians, you can get paid through foreign cheque which you can pay into a domiciliary account. By the time more Nigerians get into the program, they may also start offering direct bank wires. You can also get bank wire if you have a US bank account and Payoneer allows you to do this.
