publish two more books in addition

I will

HeliosHay:


First of all, congrats on taking action and publishing your first book. You've started your journey to financial freedom!

However, I'm sorry bro. I don't advise on launch strategy

It's part of the strategy in the blueprint and people have paid for that information so can't give it to others for free.

That being said, even if you want to do free promo or countdown promo, you don't just do it for the sake of it..certain things need to be in place first in order for the promo to be beneficial to you. Doing it for the sake of it would ultimately be a waste of promo days

My book of over 10000 words came out 43 pages. What is the cause?

Any reference to a better royalty share narrator?

There are some information I cannot share publicly because they're either in the Blueprint or part of my mentee privileges. Doing so would be a direct insult to people who have paid their hard-earned money to get it.

A 10,000-word book can fetch between 60-100+ pages depending on how you format it. A 10,000-word book can fetch a $2 royalty or a $10 depending on other factors too. That's as far as I can go.

With regards to narrators, I don't do royalty share so have no one to recommend. I advise going on ACX and putting that project up for narration (and royalty share). People who are interested in doing a royalty share deal will apply for the job and you can screen them.

Alternatively, you can go on upwork and create a job post requesting narrators who are open for a royalty share on ACX. Again, some will apply and you can interview them to figure out which ones closely align with your objectives.

10 days into August...have surpassed $4000

Only 10 days into the month of August and my earnings so far have surpassed $4000. Paperback sales and audiobook sales have been blowing up it's insane. Let's see where this momentum leads to

My teenage son makes and sells planner templates, calendars, notebooks likehttps://onplanners.com/templates/calendars/2-years online Makes about $1500 per month - only part-time since he's also in school - which is comparable to his friends fast food wages.

Previewer tools

eBook
To see how your eBook will look on tablets E-readers, and phones before you publish it, you have two options:

Kindle Previewer - Use this free desktop standalone application as you format your book to make sure it looks as intended. This tool can be downloaded for free online

Online Previewer - Use this tool to do one last check before you publish your eBook on KDP. The tool is on your KDP Bookshelf.
The Online Previewer has the same basic functions as the desktop version but has a different look and fewer filter and display options.


Paperback
After you upload your files, you'll check them with the KDP Print Previewer. This tool checks for errors you need to fix before you can submit your paperback for publication. Print Previewer is on your KDP Bookshelf.

Building Wealth Is All About Leverage

Building wealth is akin to travelling from Lagos to Port Harcourt.

There are different ways to make this journey.

- You can walk (it'll probably take you forever to get to Port Harcourt)
- You can ride a bicycle (a bit of an improvement over walking but fair enough, you can get there in a matter of days/weeks)
- You can ride in a car (this gives you a lot more leverage, you can get there faster in a couple of hours)
- You can fly in a plane (this gives you the greatest leverage given that you can get there in a matter of minutes/hours)

Similarly, when building wealth,

- Thinking your savings alone will make you rich is like walking to Port Harcourt from Lagos
- Thinking your job will make you rich is like riding in a bicycle (It'll take you forever to get there)
- Building assets that earn money for you while you sleep is akin to riding in a plane/car (this gives you the most leverage as you can build tremendous wealth in a short space of time)

Don't just work hard. Work smart...build reliable income-generating assets and watch your wealth grow over time like a giant iroko tree!

Advantages of earning from foreign assets

- Being able to retire and not having to rely on your kids, relatives or pension for any kind of support
- Being able to rely entirely on yourself and not the Nigerian Govt or the Economy for your survival
- Being able to travel and explore the world and STILL be earning
- Earning in a much stronger currency ($) and spending in a weaker currency (Naira)

The list goes on..

Does a book on Free read qualify for KU or KOLL Royalty Share?

Yeah. But most people will just buy it for free instead of borrow for KU Read

Cashflow Management

I can't stress enough how important it is you manage your cashflow. You can be making a ton of money and still go broke if you're not good with this. What do I mean?

For beginners, when you get started with Publishing, Amazon KDP pays on a 60 days cycle meaning that if you earned $100 in August 2019, KDP will pay you this $100 in October ending (not September).

After the first 2 months, you'll be getting paid every month but the 60 days cycle still applies.

ACX (for audiobooks), on the other hand, pays on a 30 days cycle so you get the $100 paid at the end of October.

Therefore, it's important to make sure you have enough money in the bank to take care of running cost e.g. Ads, Hiring ghost writers, freelancers to design cover and format your book etc.

After a few months in this business, you'll get a feel for how much you spend in order to keep your business running. This will allow you to make the necessary adjustments.

Also, when you're investing money, it helps to know when you can expect to get paid.

If you end up running out of money before Amazon pays you, it can spell disaster. So, plan plan plan..and keep to your budget.

The Power Of Taking Action And Being Accountable To Yourself

I always say that a goal without a deadline is a dream. If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting the same results you've been getting. To see a difference, you need to do something different.

Below is a comparison between my KDP (ebook and paperback) earnings in Feb/Mar and Jul/Aug. As you can see, earnings have increased by roughly 50% in a space of 5 months.

You need to hold yourself accountable for your progress. What are you doing right? do more of it. What are you doing wrong? cut it out and pivot to something else.

The Kindle Blueprint gives you the strategies I use to achieve this kind of return. Execute them well and you'll see a tremendous improvement in your results.

However, if you prefer to keep making the same mistakes that most publishers make (and most aren't even aware of it), that's fine. Everyone has their choice to make - to grow, to remain stagnant or to die.

How will your publishing results look 3 months from today, a year from today? that will depend on the smart choices you make TODAY

It's not enough to work hard, work smart.

Seriously, whenever I see your report your mentorship go dey hungry me.

Seriously, whenever I see your report your mentorship go dey hungry me.

The mentorship is good but it's not for everyone.

Some people want to figure stuff out on their own..granted that might take a lot of time and wasted money down the line, but some do figure it out.

Some other people want to accelerate the process. They realise success leaves trails and they rather follow the template that's proven to work rather than go about trying to establish the template themselves. Some of these people have the will but not the capital..hence the reason for the Kindle Blueprint. I give you the knowledge and you run with it.

Finally, there's the exclusive set of people that have the will and the financial resources needed to scale up quickly. They are highly motivated and willing to do the work required. Those are the people that are perfectly suited for premium mentorship

The different packages cater to different set of people.

In the keywords bar, can one include commas like keyword one: book, pen, ruler, pencil, Eraser keyword two: Shoe, socks, uniform keyword three: Meat pie, Doughnuts, Fishroll etc?

It's only one keyword phrase per keyword slot...you're not allowed to stuff it. Could get you in trouble

great stuff here I am writing a book on how to learn an African language but I can't upload it on Amazon cos I didn't have a PC. I have try formatting it with my phone but all to no avail

You probably need to upload it with a PC...Save the document on your memory stick and try a cyber cafe

Boss, I have a question. What is the total amount one need to start if one wants to go through the mentorship. How much is required to start after the mentorship to make results more faster? Please reply
