Not up to 20k. More like 15k.

For example, I may create a 100 page book and price at 8.99. If it sells well, I'll look at the top two books in the niche. In most cases, they'll be priced at 12.99 and above. If they both have like 150 pages or do, I may bump my to like 120 pages and price at 9.99 or 10.99. This is how I personally do it.

Thank you so much for this info. May God bless you

@obamartins and other bosses in the house 🙌🏿, I wish I can get just one profitable title from any of you.

Boss, what do you think of children's book? I plan to illustrate it myself in a 'manual' way.

nurd:


I do look into publisher rocket but I don't trust their data. So, I do all my research on Amazon.

I publish high content books.

I also run ads and have spent $31 this month.

How many words are you high content?

Penboy:


How many words are you high content?

They are around 10k to 12k words now.

They are profitable if you can get the illustration well. It's that part that keeps me from writing them.

Thanks a lot, boss. I really appreciate, let me get into this immediately before I go into the children's book.

I can draw, I was researching today and came across some of these children's book and although, I don't have the equipments these guys have, I feel like I can put my drawing talent to good use. Although, it's been long I drew something... I wanted to head to a bookstore to get these plain white papers and after drawing everything, I will edit them on canva.

How many do you want? Any specificity?

I'm interested too.

Do you have an old account?

I find this entire thread very strange. Do any of you actually know of a single independent black African author (particularly a Nigerian) who has actually had any kind of success whatsoever publishing books on Amazon? Can you point at a single black/African person who actually has large numbers of ratings and reviews for their books when you go to their page on Amazon? Are you guys not aware that Amazon is racist against Africans and their system is heavily rigged against them?

There are tons of extremely talented writers in Nigeria. Remember the old Pacesetter series in the 80s and 90s, for example? Far more interesting and enjoyable to read than a lot of the garbage put out by these indie white authors who get make tons of money from their crap. Africa has a lot of writing talent. And I mean a lot. Yet, for some reason, nobody can point to a single case of any African (or black) author independently publishing books on KDP and having any kind of success whatsoever on it. Do you people ever bother to wonder why?

Btw, just to add: Here are examples of Amazon's anti-black racism:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/s0phie/publishing_news_amazon_shuts_down_account_of/

Note that Amazon is by no means unique in this behavior. In fact, this is very much the norm in America.

Hi. Please what range of BSR do you target? I know years ago, it should be within the range of 50k or a Lil bit higher. Just wondering if this still the same, or it has increased since there are more books on kdp

Hi,

I don't particularly follow BSR much because the competition is extreme now.

What I use BSR for is to determine demand in the niche. If there is demand (at least three books with low bsr) I'll go into the niche and prop my book up with ads.

That's not to say there are not niches where you can thrive without ads. There are plenty. But I don't touch some niches for personal reasons.

I can believe this because of the rate of account termination going on over there on Kdp without reasonable offense, I feel one cannot build a source of income with Kdp and depend on it or else they disappoint someone.

Boss, will $100 be enough for 3 months worth of ADS?

Also assuming I don't do ads and I have a good number of books (let's say 20 books). Can they be generating $100 at least a month.

I want my books to generate the money for their ads themselves.

I don't want to touch the Amazon money now, I just want something I will build with time till i finish school.

So my plan Is to publish books, a lot of quality books. Maybe 20 books by December. Then if they can start generating something tangible ($100 per month). I will divert the money into ADS.

l have not published any of my books online but l publish them in hard copys but meanwhile l will start publishing online as soon as I can but my books are doing well in different bookshelves outside Nigeria

One thing I discovered from the good feedbacks and response of several readers to me is the contents of your book, does your book carry messages / informations that is relevant in solving people's needs?

People buy my books and recommend it to others, l once published a book and before they accepted the book in a VIP BOOKSHOP abroad, it took about one month of physical examination of the contents of the book because the bookshop receives books from different parts of the world, from best sellers, renowned authors etc and they take their time to screen your book and if they are not satisfied, they will call you to pick your book and tell you that they are not accepting it

So you can see the challenge for my book (an unknown author)to be accepted in that kind of VIP BOOKSHOP, and finally my book was approved and accepted because of what they read in the book, one of the senior officers in the bookshop was the one telling other managers that my book is / was good 😊

The book you publish or write, if you are not the author, would you see that same book and buy it?

One good book properly cooked 🍚 and is feeding different people in different parts of the world is better than 100 books that does not impacts the lives of people


Your book should be addressing different issues in the lives of people not just in your country but in different parts of the world

Remember that, that same niche or topic or title that you are writing or have written about, millions of other authors have done justice to such niche, so you have to find your way to atleast write something unique so that if someone can't find a known authors book but once they scroll up and down, see yours and it carries a message or solution to what they are looking for, they will purchase your book(s)

This is amazing! If you don't mind, can you tell us the niche you're focused on and if this method pays better than kdp.

Before creating ads, make sure your cover is great. That's what will get you clicks.

You can start with auto ads as they can give you fast results and not too complicated.

Next, use "Down Only" bidding strategy to prevent overspending.

You can start with 0.16. Bid. If you're not getting impressions, increase gradually, such as .02 increments until you start getting impressions. Clicks will come then.

Once you start getting clicks, you need to optimize. This can get complicated. But try and sew where you're getting sales by checking placement under your campaign. I'll recommend increasing "product page" placement. You can start with 20% and keep increasing depending on your results.

20 books can generate $100 if your keyword research is on point. Even less can generate that. Just make sure you do your research.

I usually use $5 daily budget and that can last for a week or so. Your ad budget depends on your strategy though. Some can exhaust $100 in a day and others may not spend up to that in a month. Test. And go with what works for you.

One more question on my mind. Especially for you and evb2000

Do you think AI will replace KDP Authors in the future? I plan to do this for as long as I can. But I've been wondering if AI will destroy the business in like 4-5 years. Because I have the feeling that if AI becomes good enough, people will just generate their books with AI instead of buying from KDP.

As experts what do you think?

Well, I can't predict the future but your concern is very valid and there is a possibility. Most big companies are reducing their workforce and replacing them with AI. I was recently invited for a beta test to narrate some of my books into audiobooks by AI. Men! If they had not told me it was AI, i won't believe. It sounds so natural. This simply means, audiobook narrators would soon be out of business.

So, there is a possibility to train their AI to write highly in-demand titles and authors may be sidelined. I honestly pray this won't be the case.

I hope so too

But come to think of it, there might still be a demand for human written books. Because i think the customers buy this books because they belive the authors (humans) can relate with their probelms.

Besides, these books dont cost much (for someone in the first world). So if they didnt want to buy, they might just used blogs to learn everything in an easy and strightfoward way.

Thank you so much. I will start now. Can you explain the product page placement again? Does it mean I will create another ad for product placement or it's a tool that's a part of the former ad?
