Lol! It wasn't $7k a month o. If you know how ams calculate sales, they add everything (gross sales) instead showing my profit (net sales). So that $7000 is gross, not net.
Boss ingramspark is telling me that my country Nigeria does not support e-signature is there anyway I can pass that part I wanted to also give them a try

Unfortunately No. Bcus if u succeed in bypassing it, they may still terminate the account down the road. They are not as "lenient" as amazon kdp. Ingramspark does not accept people trying to open an account from Nigeria.

I would appreciate your response.

Good morning, sir. I really hope you see my mention, I don't know if you'd still remember my moniker.

I keep going through your diary to keep my morale high even though I haven't made anything substantial on KDP. On one of your month (January 2022), you were extremely productive, write 19 high quality books. Please, how long were these books? It seems you had constant power supply then?

Please forgive my over curiosity. I literally quitted my job and relocated to the countryside to live with my mom so I can focus on KDP. This is how serious I am, this time. I will appreciate any firm of motivation.

Search for successful books with at least 100 reviews in the genre you're interested in writing in, then replicate whatever the author is doing, from book length to cover.

Thank you.

Is the new release also a good department for that? I saw a niche with less than 150 results and even a book written just this August has 7 reviews already and topping the charts.

Do you use chatgpt to write faster? By God's grace, I want to publish at least 20 high quality books before the end of 2024.
Re: Kdp Publishing Journey, What Are Your Challenges? by cheehummer(f): 5:01pm On Aug 29
I usually check the top 100 bestsellers under the niche I'm writing in. I write romance. I don't use chatgpt. Write good books and you'll make a good living no matter the niche.

I write nonfictions.

What I do is use Google and chatgpt to make research about the topic, I read everything then write what I've learned in my own words. I asked chatgpt to explain the contents, then write mine while comparing that of Google and chatgpt.

The best thing for you is to gain experience, write, you'll have wins and losses and learn and get better, just focus on execution.

I mean what you need isn't more info, it's to start writing with what you know, you'll gain experience
and it'll teach you more that anything what you should or shouldn't do. It's much faster for your level
write books and publish, see what's working and not, get feedback, repeat the process.

Hi evb2000,

God bless you, bro.


I don't have a domiciliary account as I currently use grey.co but I'm hoping that once I master this business, I'm getting one in preparation for the mission ahead.


Most times, a well researched title could be all you need to break even in a month. So, it is important to spend time on researching the right title to write on. Look for what people need solutions on and when you find it. Take your time to write a quality book and as soon as sales pick up (organic sales), start promoting it. Any book that sells five to ten copies organically in its first two weeks of publication will most likely do well when backed by ams ads.

An example is the sales below. Title did $1,834.30. Amount spent on ads on this particular title is less than $150.


shocked



You said this sometimes ago. By the grace and power of God, I found a title that's made over $100 since I published it on September 7. I ran free promotion that ended on 15th, since then it has been making sales almost everyday. It once made $24 a day. My competitors are all running ads on my book landing page including under the description and the "click to buy."

The thing is, I don't have money for ads now. I'm currently working on another book on that title with a little tweak. Should I borrow money and start running ads? That's if anyone in my circle would be willing to help as they're all "managing" grin.

Thank you.

You should use your earnings to run ads na. Not an expert but I think it’s possible

I'll advice if you've started seeing money without ads, you can focus on just writing more books
When you see good cash coming in, you can turn your direction to ads.

That's different for everyone
Think of how much you want - Your SHORT-TERM needs
Think how much you'll need to have them covered

When you feel you're in a good enough situation you can breath
Then you can think more clearly and look for what how to grow your cash

By the way, what were you going to use to pay for amazon ads?

sorry i'm not really active, can be distracting
If you want you can send me a message, make it easier

As for what to do, keep grinding
You make your money by making Amazon money, that's just how it is
Now it's low, but they pay you a lot more that some hospitals pay their doctors
