I know someone was asking about this, but I can't remember who it was, or what the thread was called. So I'll just make a new one.

How to Sell your Book, CD or DVD on Amazon

Summary from Dumb Little Man:

In 8 easy steps, here is how to get your book, CD, or DVD listed on the long tail of Amazon:

Get an ISBN (for a book), or a UPC (for a CD or DVD). For one book it costs $125, for one CD, $55, for one DVD, $89.
Get a bar code based on the ISBN or UPC. Costs $10, or may be included in UPC.
Sign up with Amazon, $30 per year.
Duplicate your stuff; include the bar code on the outside.
Ship two copies to Amazon
Send cover scan
Track sales
Register it (optional)

Thank you! That's really helpful. I've thought of that in the past.

In Canada (two years ago anyhow) ISBN's were free. We got one for a book on CD we did.

I would love to hear some Amazon success stories. Anyone have one to share?
