Bro, you did not deal with me.

The person you dealt with Jude Ibro. Not me.

Read this post: https://www.nairaland.com/3269169/modified-making-money-publishing-amazon/6#50250202

You may have read that post and contacted him.

If you even follow that post you'll notice that I responded to him and warned him about his method. So bro, once again, you did not deal with me. You have also successfully derailed this thread.

Next time. The first rule is to be sure before you accuse someone. Cos accusing the wrong person has consequences. That's what you have done.

Oga plz don't give them much of you time instead focus more on making your dollars. Keep up the good work we got ur back

These oyibo are really stingy. Did free promo and they downloaded 500 copies but to buy... Lol and they say only Naija likes awoof angry angry grin

Please my question is, I see people "bolding" some text in their description for emphasis. I want to try it but worried about the html tags showing. Kudos to you guys for the sales and kenp reads. My books get more reads than sales. Na wa back to drawing board.

Replied you via email.

Also...

I believe there are many writers out there wishing to have their work published on Amazon. If that is your dream then you can start from somewhere.

I'm talking fiction authors. If you have a book you want live on Kindle and be able to be called "published author" then I can be of service.

In terms of formatting and cover I can maybe sort it out for you so long as you're really ready to publish and have a finished story. Anyone can then buy your book from around the world. Even if just friends and family from church school etc anywhere in the world lol

@lobell, why did you think it was bros1234 that presented himself as judeibro to defraud you of 5k in the first place?

Its clear that the person you accused of fraud is different from who actually defrauded you. (@lobell, seriously apologise to him(@bros1234).

I remembered reading that post by judeibro, with the way he writes, you should have known that he is an information marketer.

Anyways, thanks for creating this awareness to others and sorry for the loss.

@bros1234, sorry for the wrong accusation, you 've cleared yourself here. Carry on!

Thanks for pointing that thread out. That's just how people go about talking without thinking about the impact of what they are saying. Whatever made him conclude that JudeIbro and bros1234/bros12345 is the same is what I don't know.

My dear accuser, @Lobell, you need to come direct. Go back to all the threads where you have falsely accused me and state clearly that you have sorted out your confusion. That you mistakenly accused the wrong person. Dont hide your apology under... "if you say you are not the person"

Come clear and be specific. That is the only condition for my total forgiveness.

And if you still have doubts, I am once again inviting you to my office. 6 Allen Avenue Ikeja, Opp Mama Cass, Stanbic Pension Building. Suite 6, down floor. Come with someone. I will show you all my details, email (my email is here but u are bent on giving me another email), phone numbers, payoneer, amazon, facebook, etc.

Back to business.

Half month gone. 160 books sold so far. 7 returns. About 6,000 KENP reads.

Still needs to improve.

No book published this month so far. Have been suffering from writer's block. Not good. Anyone with idea on how to overcome writer's block should help. I need to push 2 or 4 books before month end. No motivation at all.

Hello bro,

Your book looks good. But it's just 10 pages. You didnt add copyright page. First page, etc. That would have increased the pages.

Anyway great effort. Pls write and publish more. I haven't spent up to $5 on Amazon and so cannot post a review on Amazon yet. I'm sorry.

Let me shock you. If you have one book selling 7 in one month, you are doing over well. Some books I have sell only 1 in a month. My only consolation is that I have two books that are selling over 3 each daily. I dont know why they are selling, but believe me, I put more effort in the ones not selling at all. So you are doing great. Write more and publish more

@bro123: Know this you have nothing to with the false allegations that guy made against your person. If you recalled awhile back, there was one particular guy that posted that he could assist people to make money on kdp. And you did want people to be careful.
This the guy write- up then. I copied and saved on my laptop. I just crosschecked now and I discovered "JudeIbro"
For up coming kindle authors, send your book title, subtitle, photo (if any) and authors name, let me design a professional kindle cover free of charge for the first three. I will also send u updates of my kindle book sales so u know amazon kindle is serious bizness. Since the ban on Naira Mastercard for international business, I depend on my payoneer card and income I make from amazon. I have paid for WES Certificate Evaluation (245 Canadian dollars) for a client planning to migrate to Canada, whose Naira Mastercard was declined, I buy things like Wrist watches (with working chronograph), USB led (lamp), power banks, T-shirts and shoes on aliexpress and sell them (note: things are cheaper on aliexpress than Jumia and Konga, but it take btw 2 - 3weeks to arrive because I use free shipment), I have used my payoneer card to pay for a lecturer journal article to be publish on an international journal and got the naira equivalent paid to me. Why am I saying all this? U can make a living if u take amazon kindle publishing serious.

For those that can't write, I will give u books (converted to kindle format by me) for N500 each and free cover design, this is just to encourage u guys. U can't make it on amazon with just one or two books, no way. I have 25 books already published on kindle and plans to make it 30 b4 next weekend, I have about 150 unpublished books, I just need to tidy them up, design covers for them, convert to kindle format and publish. The secret is keep publishing. Now the question is how do I get my books? This is a secret I share with only those in my inner circle.

Keep publishing and the recession won't even bother u. You can make up to $50 USD on the average every month if u have more than 15 books without promoting ur books and this figure can go as high as $500 per month with paid promotions (e.g amazon promotion, google adword promotion or facebook promotion). I promote my books using free alternatives such as twitter. One of my secrets is to open a twitter account ( with "oyinbo man pix" make una no blame me o, man must hustle), search for kindle books related topics and I will comment about the book on a trending hash tag, then I will drop a link to my book on amazon, men it converts very well though not up to paid advert. Planning to do paid advert when I am through with my website where I have all my books plus their links to my amazon kindle store. I don't intend to promote individual books, but a link to all my books, that way, I will carry all my books along in the scheme of things.

But for now, I am sticking to my twitter approach, and people who just come across my books and make purchase. I like it when I download may sales report in Excel format and scrutinize it on the 15th of every month, and I love those emails from Payoneer that screams "You have received payment" at the end of the month. This is what I do and it's been fun.

Thanks for the observation. I'm glad that the house here has also understood that and we have moved on. I am not Jude Ibro. It was a very bad mistake for that guy to just make unnecessary conclusions and accuse me falsely. But I have moved on.

At least, God don help me cross $500 in Amazon sales this month. So it is well

My greatest secret is that there is no secret.

1. I choose a niche I have a lot of knowledge.

2. I write quality stuff, at least to my best of ability.

3. I do basic and good proofreading (at least to my best ability)

4. I push the button ...that is publish...and then hope for the best.

5. I keep writing even when the ones published are not selling. I just write and publish more. I failed this Nov. cos I only published two books. That's failure to me. So far I have about 25 books on Amazon and sell about 5-10 daily.

6. This Nov, we have crossed $700 in sales...to the glory of God.

Thanks

Did a free promotion and from Wednesday to Saturday and I got 26 downloads..it was really poor. Well, may be my key words are not really the perfect ones and so forth. I will be writing another book soon then I will run a free promotion and we what happens. I blesed God for your profit. You are making it so much. Continue to encourage us.

$700 a month? Whew! You're the boss mehn. I just finished proofreading my first book. it's on finance, about 9000 words. I want to push four books out before December 18th. Guess I have a long way to go.
Btw, what is the lowest amount you can cash out?
And, do you use payoneer or PayPal?
You just pumped me to write more. My problem I think, is that I keep writing long stuff and doing meticulous proofreading.

Bro. Publish your book and then publish more. I keep saying it here. You can never write a perfect book. Dont spend too much time on just one book. Just do a good proofreading work. I have books that are not selling at all. But I have a book that sells 5-6 daily and so on.

Amazon pays with Payoneer. They will pay you even 10 cent that you make after 60 days, e.g, September earning is paid in November, October earning paid in December and November earning paid in Jan and so on.

Actually, we crossed $900 this past Nov. to the glory of God.
