Amazing, fantastic, fun, exciting . . . news from Amazon:  Bloggers can now (once approved) sell a subscription to their blogs on the Amazon Kindle platform.

You can now publish your blog (or any RSS feed) for sale on the Amazon Kindle store and Amazon will share revenue with you for every Kindle user who subscribes to your feed. And no, you don’t get to price your blog at a thousand bucks a pop, but Amazon will pay you a fixed 30-percent share of whatever your revenue your blog generates.

Here’s How to Publish Your Blog on Kindle

Fill out this form, add the RSS feed of your blog and submit.

Add as many blogs or news feeds to your account as you want.

Once Amazon approves your blog, it will be available to Kindle users on the Amazon Store and also Amazon Associates.

What else do you need to do?

Take an 800x 600 screenshot image of your Blog home page and 430×50 banner or logo of your blog.

Masthead/Banner: The masthead/banner image size should not exceed 430×50 pixels and should be in the file format, GIF, JPEG, TIFF or BMP. The file size of the image should be under 1 MB.

Screenshot: This is the image Amazon.com customers will see while viewing your blog on Amazon.com site. You need to provide a screenshot with a minimum size 800×600 pixels with a GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP are accepted image formats. Also make sure that the file size of the image is under 1 MB.

Kindle Blogs are auto-delivered wirelessly to the Kindle and updated throughout the day. Unlike RSS readers which sometimes only displays headlines, your blog on Kindle displays full text content and most images.

Get out there and start blogging!

Derek Franklin’s software first came across my radar years ago with the release of Search Automator Pro. At the time, I was doing a lot of research – particularly for images – and Search Automator really sped up my online research time.
