mrufainaira: It's difficult to get reviews as customers tend to only leave a review when they're dissatisfied with the quality of the book they purchase. However, you can increase your chance of getting reviews by requesting for an honest review within your book (say after chapter 2 or so) and also at the end of the book. Review request at the end of a book usually doesn't work well as less than 20% of people who buy a book finish it (so 80% don't even get to see the request - hence why you also request within the book) Requesting for reviews within the book can be a double edged sword - If your book is crap then you're more likely to get negative reviews. However, if you book is good, you'll get more favorable reviews. Another strategy is to build an email list of customers that purchased your book and request an honest review from them, a few weeks after they purchased your book 1 Like |

Update It's been a very busy month with a number of books in the process of getting launched. One book in particular has been blowing up..It was published on march 18, 2019 and since then has done over $650 in paperback sales alone! in less than 1 month This is exactly what happens when you correctly position your book in a high demand keyword with not much competition. Can't wait to have this book in audio format.

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 5:49pm On Apr 16, 2019 |
Chiscomax: If you can afford my mentorship that'll be one way to go about it. I help you all the way through the publishing process and provide free support for 6 months after you've published your first book. If you can't afford the mentorship the book is a cheaper alternative, but you'll have to implement the strategies yourself (I only provide detailed information with regards to what you need to do) |

At the end of the day, it's all about visibility. You can have the best quality book on the whole of Amazon BUT if it's not visible i.e. if your customers can't find your book in the OCEAN of books on Amazon (over 2 million+ books), you won't be successful. Poor Quality Book + Excellent visibility = Good initial sales (eventually sales will drop due to lots of negative reviews on it) Poor Quality Book + Poor Visibility = No sales (Why bother? you might as well not have spent anything!) Good Quality Book + Poor Visibility = Little or No sales (you might make some sales initially due to the boost Amazon give to newly published books, after that your book will start spiralling downwards to no sales land) Good Quality Book + Excellent Visibility = This is the sweet spot (Get this right and you'll make an ungodly amount of profit!) 1 Like |

Students of course have access to me on Facebook/Whatsapp/skype.. but thats because they've shown they're serious. Below is an updated version of the screenshot I posted yesterday. If I was fake, impersonating someone or stealing screenshots will I be able to post todays version of the same screenshot?

HeliosHay: Why is your mentorship program 100K and that of mk82 50K? Is there anything special you are offering that is different from his? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 4:35am On Apr 17, 2019 |
Chiscomax: With all due respect to mk82, he has every right to charge what he feels his knowledge is valued at and he's chosen 50k. I won't debate that with him. Personally, and I believe I've proved it beyond reasonable doubt, my publishing knowledge has made me over N18 million to date (I started Nov 2016). Not every publisher makes $10,000 per month with their business. To make that amount requires a certain skillset and knowledge. The price I charge simply reflects my earning capacity...I don't just talk publishing for the sake of selling mentorship programs, I actually publish successfully myself. 1 Like |

Mistakes Beginner Publishers Make 1. They never do adequate research. Most people get all excited about kindle publishing and then rush off to publish a book on a topic they're EXCITED about without knowing beforehand whether the topic is profitable or not. Then after the book is published and they see no sales they get discouraged and say that publishing doesn't work. Let me ask you, would you sell a block of ice to the Eskimos? do you think they would buy? probably not. Why? because ice is abundant around them..there's no demand for it (i.e. they're not going to pay for your ice when they can get it free) Its the same in business and certainly in publishing. You have to confirm people are willing to PAY money to purchase books on the topic you want to publish a book in BEFORE you commit money 3 Likes |

Mistakes Beginner Publishers Make 2. Doing the bare minimum and expecting success. You can't just do the bare minimum and expect success. I see this mistake amongst Kindle publishers all the time. They think that if they just throw up another book with a mediocre cover, title and content that they will make a lot of money. That might make you a bit of money in the short-term, but not over the long-term. You need to think about how you can STAND OUT from the other books in the market. You need to be a bit creative – come up with a cool cover and title that will benefit the market. When you promote and market your book, don't expect to just do the bare minimum and out-rank the other books you're competing with. Some of the books have been established already on Amazon, so you will have to do more to out-compete them. If your competitors Kindle book has 100 Amazon reviews with a very strong sales history to back it up, how can you expect to sell better than him/her with 10 reviews and mediocre sales history? You need to put in the work to market and promote your book and get 30, 40, 50 Amazon reviews along with a strong record of CONSISTENT sales to be that dominant book. If you hustle and put in the work, then you will never have to worry about competition or others trying to compete with you. 1 Like |

HeliosHay: March 17 to 21,no sales in the screenshot. Why? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 1:23am On Apr 20, 2019 |
Chiscomax: I mentioned earlier the book was published March 18...then I did a 3 day free promotion. You don't expect a book to start popping sales right out the gate (no optimization, zero reviews etc). You've got things to optimize first. Mind you, this particular book is already closing in on $1000! I suspect this book might go on to become a $5000+/month book. I'm still optimizing it. 1 Like

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 8:20pm On Apr 21, 2019 |
Eze2000: What is not clicking in your head with regards to nonfiction? In nonfiction (unlike fiction), you're simply solving a problem - thats it. If for e.g someone has depression/anxiety issues and they're looking for a way to relieve their anxiety, they can go on Amazon and search for "Anxiety relief tips" or "Ways to relieve anxiety" etc. If those keywords are profitable, and your book happens to be on page 1 for those keywords, your book gets purchased. There's no magic to it. The only challenge is finding those profitable keywords. Once you find a keyword is profitable you then look for a way to add value to that market. Don't just copy what other people are doing, you find an angle for your book..address something other books/competitors aren't addressing. Once your book is unique, the customer will then have a reason to buy yours instead of the other person's book. There's nothing complicated about non-fiction. Fiction, on the other hand, is a whole different ball game (Won't pretend I know anything about it). I'm content with specializing in non-fiction. Each to their own i guess. 3 Likes |
