How to use Amazon to sell your book?

If you have complete your content and register to an ISBN and printed your book. Then, you need to sell your book and bring it to your readers. If you are in Northern America and obtain worldwide distribution rights, you may apply for the Amazon Advantage program.

After approval, Amazon insert your title to its catalog and store a few of your books in its warehouse. When customers buy your book, Amazon processes and send the orders. You'll have to give Amazon a 55% discount from the suggested retail price that you set. Amazon also require you a $29.95 annual membership fee.

So, if you suggested retail price of $30, each purchase through Amazon would give you 45%, or $13.5.

Other than books, you can also include CD music or VHS/DVD videos that you created, but not e-books. For more details on how to join the Amazon Advantage program, see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/partners/direct/advantage/home.html.
