Re: *MODIFIED* Making Money With Publishing on Amazon Kindle, CreateSpace, etc by obamartins(m): 5:44pm On Feb 19, 2017 |
I got to know about kindle from Nairaland a girl with the monica Ladywriter wrote an article on kindle publishing around 2014 and i gave it a shot. i published my first book early 2015, but no sale for 3 months, i just dumped the idea, only for me to log in around the March 2015 and discovered i made sales the previous months about $20 on amazon.com store, then i logged into my payoneer account and boom, i saw $16 plus some cent. To prove the money can be spent, i created an account on aliexpress.com and bought a USB Lamp ($3) and i was asked to submit evidence to show i owned the card. I took a pix of both sides of my Mastercard, blurred the Numbers leaving just the last 6 digits and a statement of my payoneer account i downloaded in PDF. Behold i was able to check-out and $3 was deducted from my payoneer account and my usb lamp was shipped to me. Men! since then, i haven't looked back. I write on virtually all topics i can research on. I have written books on drones, Content Management System, Cloud Computing, cooking, Musical Instruments etc. The truth is that "Do it yourself" books does very well on amazon. The romance niche is saturated. I write on niches that have less books and publications. I am also a graphic artist, so i design my book covers myself. On amazon kindle, a book is judged by both its cover and content. The more the books you have, the better their exposure and give out books for free as often as possible for 5 days, it helps expose your other books. I have never done paid advert though. Reviews are good but content matters a lot. But if you don't have one, don't worry, you would still make sales. The content of your book will attract positive or negative reviews. Negative review(s) on any book is demoralizing as no one would want to buy such book. Ensure your books are well formatted. I have had some great deal of positive reviews as well as terrible ones on my books, but i don't allow it to dampen my mood. Again, purchase returns are annoying, when there is a verified purchase and you are jumping around only to discover the book has been returned and money refunded. But don't allow it slow you down, just keep moving. Amazon kindle is about patience, if you are patient, you will get to a point where you start getting royalties every month and it won't seem like they pay every 60 days because you are making reasonable sales daily and monthly. I average $200 every month. I have a friend who average $500 from both amazon, upwork and blogging. He is an amazon partner. That is my target and i will quit my job and concentrate fully. Let me give you another secret, please if you are on upwork and need jobs, use and "oyinbo" pix and location should be Nigeria, either Canada or any other country apart from the US, else nobody go give you job o. You go bid, you go tire. Note: You can't withdraw your payoneer funds using Nigerian ATM, it will get stuck. No Nigerian ATM, i repeat, No Nigerian ATM works with payoneer again. I will write an article on how you can withdraw your payoneer funds directly into your bank account within seconds as well as buy airtime of any network with your payoneer funds, but the drawback is that their exchange rate $1 - N375. So the best option is still to look for someone who needs to carry out a transaction online and charge the person the parallel market rate, then pay with your card. I hope this information helps. Pls pardon me for any typo or grammatical errors, i pay people to proofread my work before publishing. Proofreading is my major problem, i don't have that patience. AncientTimes: 3 Likes 1 Share |

It doesn't work anymore. My best experience. Well i would say, they are two. 1. There was a day i went to bed with no sales, i was kinda depressed, only for me to wake up the next morning to discover i sold 10 books that morning alone and 800 KENP. 2. Was when i got my first 5 stars review with a very positive comment that attracted more sales. AncientTimes: |

obamartins: Wow you are doing really great. It happens like that. Can you tell me something about keywords? How do you do your keywords research. Can you share your experience of keywords |
Re: *MODIFIED* Making Money With Publishing on Amazon Kindle, CreateSpace, etc by obamartins(m): 8:23pm On Feb 19, 2017 |
Keywords are very important for search engine optimization. People make the mistake of using one sylable in their key words, which not ideal. Use phrases, the way u type in a search engine when looking for an info. E.g. If I want to write keywords for say a book on learning how to play guitar, I use keywords like. - teach yourself to play guitar - guitar lessons for beginners in pdf, Best guitar players - Learn to play guitar for beginners - Best guitar ebooks - Step by step guide to play guitar. Not just typing for e.g Guitar - Guitar lesson etc AncientTimes: 2 Likes |

obamartins: Wow, that is wonderful I am learning from you sir. How about your sales on creatspace and then do publishing books on paper back from kdp |
Re: *MODIFIED* Making Money With Publishing on Amazon Kindle, CreateSpace, etc by obamartins(m): 4:16am On Feb 20, 2017 |
Honestly, my kindle does better than my paper back, i have come to realize most Americans don't like the hardcopy of books. They are comfortable with softcopy in their devices and the kindle versions are cheaper. So i don't really concentrate on paper back that much. Though others are doing well with paper back. secondly, non of my books exceeds $2.99. The lower the price, the more the chances of sales coming in. Because whoever is buying doesn't feel like he or she is spending anything. BOOK SIZE IN MEGABYTE If the size of my book exceeds 9MB after converting it to PDF and letter .kpf, (which is the kindle version) i opt for 35% royalty sharing formula, (that is i take 35% from the book sale and amazon takes the rest). if it is less than 8mb, i opt for 75% royalty sharing formula. This is because delivery fee is always a problem when your book is large (in MB and not pages). MB of your book increases when there are pictures embedded in it or you didn't compress the pdf file (Note: i always convert my books to pdf before converting it to kindle version, it helps with the book formatting). when the book is large, opt for 35% royalty so that at $2.99, you get $1.05 and amazon takes the rest. If you opt for 75% royalty, you will end up with less than $1.05 or nothing due to delivery fee. Amazon charge you for delivering a sold book to the purchaser's kindle device and the larger the book, the more the delivery fee. I have made that mistake before. I sold 12 copies of a book but no Royalty was displaying on the table, when i contacted them, i was told i was owning amazon some delivery fee and they kept deducting it from my other sales. i had to quickly change the royalty of that book to 35%. Very terrible experience i must say. Below is an update. No more sales images, it is against amazon policy. Any more question? AncientTimes: 1 Like |

phemmy03: Make sure the new address your want to supply is real and that you can receive something there. Then just kall them and tell them to change your address, that you'll be relocating soon. Do not request for a new ein. Once they change your address go to amazon and effect the change and refill the tax info |

Everyone, Quick update: I just discovered a site where you can promote your books for free and has a very good following unlike others that I've seen. Follow this link to create an account ASAP: https://www.ebookstage.com/welcome/NDI4Mzk=/ This is very good if you're running a free promotion for your book or just launched a book newly or you want to run a discount price as it helps to improve the rankings of your book. This is the exact site I'll be using to promote my upcoming book (currently on preoder: 10 sales) on which will be going live on 28th February. |

Bros 1234, God bless you for all you have done for me too. For listening to me, when I was still a baby in online business. Groping about, seeking for direction. God used you to help me. But sir, I can say that by the mercies of God, I have learned a lot from you and from others on this thread. Now, I can format my books for createspace with expertise, I can format books for kindle within 30 minutes at the most. What about cover, I design covers for both createspace and Kindle with such touch of expertise. To say the least, I have grown. When it comes to keywords, my knowledge has increased like water and I am still willing to learn more. I can say now that many of my books are ranking on the first page of Amazon search, which in turn is boosting sales. I thank you sir, and may I say that only God will reward you. "FOR ANY BODY WHO IS READING THIS RIGHT NOW, don't be frustrated when createspace begins to tell you that, your cover and interior does not meet our requirements. Continue to make improvements. Believe me, I was on that part before and I know how frustrating that could be. Continue, keep on keeping on, one day like it is happening to me, createspace will be telling you 'Congratulations, your interior and cover meets our requirement' Do not despair and do not be discouraged. You will get there' I will make a video of my ebook, createspace formating and book covers and put the link right here for anyone who needs help in that areas as an expression of my gratitude to you for what I have learnt so far. See what God has used you to do for me below:. For some people this might be small, but for me, where I am is a function of God's grace and mercies. I blessed his name for his help so far and giving me the privileged to receive income from this business. MY earning so far. Creatpsace $ 135.96 £ 3.23 € 4.29 While in KDP, so far this what has happened to my account. Kdp U. S $ 54.60 KDP UK £ 5.07 KDP ES : € 1.67 KDP Canada: $ 5. 44 KDP AUS $ 2.77 I have over 3000 Kenp read across all my tithes. And to tell you the least, God has not finished with my account this month yet. Father, I pray you bless everyone doing business in this thread in Jesus name. I SAY THIS TO ENCOURAGE SOMEBODY HERE. that this business is real. Start small, take a step. All you need is a laptop, constant Internet connectivity and ability to write, the rest, Amazon will do it for you. NOTE BEST: I Began serious kdp online business in January. This is my second month and you can see an increase in my income. The month is not even finished yet . Praise God. In this month, I was so busy, I didnt even publish any book as such. But see what God done with my account. Take a step, earn money online. 3 Likes |

AncientTimes: My good friend, congratulations. it's such a joy to see you and others making it from this thread. I'll be looking forward to your video. CreateSpace seems to be doing you great. please keep it up. I'm sure you'll never go below this, cos the Bible says the path of the just shines brighter and brighter. Please do not be distracted like me, who have not published anything since November last year and just glorying in past works. This is all I beg you. Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace had changed my life. January gave me over $2500. This February has generated over $1,600, yet no new books since last year. May God help us to succeed more than our imagination. March is my month of repentance and publishing of at least 5 books. Cheers |
