Amanda Hocking 26 years. She lives in a small American town Austin (Minnesota) of slightly more than 20,000 residents.
Less than a year she earned a million dollars by selling their e-books through the online store Amazon Kindle Store (the first two of his books she placed for sale April 15, 2010).
Its average monthly circulation of books sold 100,000 copies. Only in January 2011, she earned 450 thousand dollars!
On one of her books have already offered to make a film, so that it is possible, this girl will soon surpass income itself Joanne Rowling (author of Harry Potter). In any case, the growth rate of income (and the number of books written - 19), it has already overtaken it.
And all because the most famous American online retailer Amazon took the liberty to sell e-books (without fearing that their copy and lay out somewhere free) known and unknown authors (30 percent commission, which will get Amazon'u).

Broke new era in publishing. If fate had depended book from the publisher (take - do not take), today it depends on the reader (like - not like it, buy it - do not buy).
Today anyone, even obscure, nothing previously unpublished, bypassing publishers may put up for sale Amazon'e their e-books and make your million dollars!
You just need to register on the Amazon Kindle Store, read the FAQ, to place their books - and wait for the money income.
How sell - many earn almost all the income goes to the author (ie 70 per cent). And no special cost (it's free).
Moreover, you can not write a book in English only, but also in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. And even in Russian! I myself saw several Russian authors of books sold in the Amazon Kindle Store and have a decent rate of sales.
For example, "Mahjong" Alexei Nikitin:
"Eli vodu-out under cranes" Alexandra Sidorenko (Fozzi):
"Edge Master" Alena Sokolinskaya:
Books in Russian not so much. To some extent, this is good - less competition.
For the future, of course, would be better if there will be many Russian authors - then it will be an occasion to Russian-speaking users often go to Amazon and buy there a Russian e-books (especially if the price is cheap).
Payments are made monthly or reviewers to a bank account in an American bank (citizens of Russia is not suitable) or check (is better) - When the amount in the account at least $ 100.
In what seems to me the secrets of success of Amanda Hocking (and that you can take on your arms)
1. She writes a popular topic today - fiction (writes about vampires, trolls and other evil spirits). Moreover, writes for young (as herself), and hence, the most active on the Internet.
2. Prices for their e-books she has established minimum (4 books it sells for 0.99 dollars , the other five - costs $ 2-3 per book). When asked: "Why is it so cheap?" She replied: "I do not mind."
Since her books are primarily interested youth, perhaps that price played a decisive role in its growing popularity so quickly. Many bought her book purely out of interest, because they are the cheapest. And then they have started to buy because of the increased popularity.
3. She writes not just some novels, but they continue to guarantee their sales already conquered readers.
4. Amanda Hocking actively communicates with his fans, writes a lot about yourself in your blog , on Twitter, in Facebook.
5. To his creativity it relates quite seriously . I read her blog, she now and then something rewrites, reworks, and puts a new novel on sale until cleaned up all his feathers.
In RuNet also gradually add up opportunities for independent authors to sell their electronic work, but that in subsequent releases (subscribe to the "How to Make Money on the Internet" not to miss the fun.)
