Publishing in Amazon

Some time ago, I started to write books. One is already published as a traditional printed one. Now, the second one I wrote, is finished and I think about publishing it as an ebook in Amazon. As it will be my first experience to public an ebook, I have to check up how to do it.
I am wondering if someone already has got some experience with publishing ebooks in Amazon and wants to share.....

@skysnap, are you a full-time writer? How do you handle editing on your works?

@Meramar Is writing your profession for a long time?

@Meramar I admire writers because I want to be just like them someday. It is the reason I love to read, because the more I read, the more I get an idea how will I write something. By the way, who motivated you to write or what motivated you to write?

@annierose Writing is not really my profession right now, but I would like to be a professional writer. I started two years ago and, at this moment, I have one paper book published and another manuscript finished which I hopefully will publish soon as an ebook. Apart from that, I am working on my third book. To get a writer, is a hard job and it's a long way to walk for until you may get fame and some income. It's not easy, neither impossible. Until then, I have to work beside.

I have three short ebooks on Amazon at the moment, but none are particularly successful as yet. I'm planning at some point to give them another go-over for errors, then release one free for a day. This should hopefully boost it up the rankings and get it some visibility and, hopefully, reviews, and possibly increase sales of the other two books as well.

@nomus24g Yes, editing is important, but often self-publishers can't afford to hire a professional, at least at first. Once you can afford it, it's definitely a good idea. I know from personal experience that I can proofread other people's work better than I can proofread my own.

@egdcltd For self-publishers, some writers use crowdfunding as help to cover the costs. And, regarding the proofread, you can create your own community with persons who might be interested in reading your work for free. But, they should be confidential.

I've always wanted to write and publish a book. Ha! I have considered starting many times I just can't get organized. I like printed paperback books myself, but I was raised on printed books. A lot of people are starting to go electronic so it would be a good idea to publish as eBook, and a good experience.
