When you have published your first eBook at Amazon, it is wise to circulate your eBook and reach a global audience. So your next move is to upload your eBook and publish on Smashwords.
· The benefits: Your eBook is distributed to online retailers such as Apple (distribution to iBookstores in 32 countries), Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, WH Smith in the UK and FNAC (both powered by Kobo), the Diesel eBook Store, eBooks Eros (operated by Diesel), Baker & Taylor (Blio and the Axis360 library service) and Page Foundry (operates retail sites Inktera.com and Versent.com; operates Android ebook store apps for Cricket Wireless and Asus).

You can Google it and check out my first eBook.
· The process: Before you do anything, read Smashwords Style Guide. This free guide offers simple step-by-step instructions to create, format and publish an ebook. As usual, you use Word to create your eBook. However, there is a difference in saving the file before you upload to Samshwords. For Amazon Kindle you save the file as “Web page, filtered” and for Smashwords, you save as “Word 97-2003 document”
· Important: Read The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success. It is free. According to Mark Coker, the author, these secrets will help you become a more professional, more successful writer and publisher.
