Hello everyone. I tried doing some keyword research and all I kept seeing was audio books and paperbacks. Some keywords even reported "no books found". I suspect it has something to do with my location being set to Nigeria. Please advise.

It is not so, sir. You probably did not do it well. I believe that you should do it this way. First, go to Amazon. On the search bar, make sure there you click on thr small arrow in thr left hand side of your bar. Select kindle store from there. Then gradually type in your key word. If for instance you are writing a book on something like, fishing. Type fishing slowly in the search bar and see the list of suggestions that Amazon will give you. Then follow this by typing fishing a, fishing b, do it till z. See the list of keyswords that come up when you type these a-z and copy them out. Once you are done, then go to your search bar again, making sure that kindle store is selected. Once, that is complete, the first keyword that you had better written Disney for possible use. Press enter, then see the first book on the search. Go to the bestsellers rank and books with 10,000

This month has been my worse since this year. I cant tell why. But I'm going to do something about it. So Here's my resolution.

1. I think it's time I begin to advertise on amazon for my books. Henceforth, I will save some of my earnings for advertising.

2. To write and introduce more new titles.

3. Pls tell me what I could do differently

Please tell us how many words your book has. I'll be able to guess I'd it's correct or not
Re: *MODIFIED* Making Money With Publishing on Amazon Kindle, CreateSpace, etc by Ewenla202: 8:40am On Apr 18, 2017

Hello, break the book into four places and publish them in series. The book is too large. For a book of 20,000 word count, it will give you over 140 pages in createspace. If I were you I will divide the books into four and publish as a series book. That way, you will make more money from the sale of your book.

Deboss, for me you are still doing well. The thing is just write more books. I am still waiting for the end of the month but i declare my sales if I so wished to. Last month, I made close to $ 200 on createspace alone. Then close to hundred on kdp. I am still learning in this business. I will have to write more and more. I will also outsource by God's grace.

What trim size are you using on createspace? If you adopt 6 x 9 which is almost same with the Kindle ebook size, your paging should still be almost same.

Amazon advertising is worth giving a try but I think you should also do plenty of direct marketing of your books on websites with huge traffic potential. You could submit your book link on subreddit related to your niche. Same applies to Facebook groups.

94K words book is huge. So what it is giving you is normal. Like AncientTimes said, please break the book into several volumes and package them separately. You will make more money. Also createspace does not publish a book up that number of size.

Thanks

I don't know anything about this Tax stuffs, but however you can ask Bros 12345. Yes, I feel poetry does not sell so much. Look for books that give people solution to their answer.

Nigerian postal code is 6 digits. No + prefix. Something like 300001. Google Nigeria postal codes to get the correct one for your city or town.
