Hi Self-Publishers,

I did purchased the rocket license key 5-weeks ago but must say I'm finding it hard to start writing at this time, reason is that I want to understand if we should focus more on "Competition Score" or "Number of Competitors" when using the rocket software.

For example, do I go for a keyword with "552" competitors and "45" as competition score, or "3856" competitors and "30" as competition score. Both have a good search volume and earnings.

obamartins, virgo01, macsmart and others.

MacSmart:


The most important thing is search volume. Ensure that people are searching for the product. Next is the average income of books in the keyword. If it is much, it means people are buying. The final thing is no of competitors. That is the factor that makes me dump a keyword. The lower the number of competitors, the better for you.

50 people with average income of $9879 with a search volume of 5000 per month is better than

5892 people with average income of $50000 with search volume of 10000 per month.

My opinion.

Hi bro, what do you think of this keyword analysis, screenshot attached.

Number of competition 10 people, average monthly earnings $3204, average search volume of 1,157, competitive score 70.

Lolo24:



It's cool

Macgyver1:


Hi, thanks for your response. Can you share any tips on the parameters you look at when using the software.

Lolo24:



Some times the stats are not correct. I prefer keywords with 100+ search results. When I see a promising keyword on rocket, I check for it on Amazon. In order for me to use it, the books in that niche must have reviews and good bsr. Sometimes I check on Google to confirm that people are really searching for it.

I think it is cool, but because of the competition, u might need to promote ur book a little.

For your num 3)

Select the TOC(table of contents) , click insert, enter bookmarks , add bookmark as "ref_TOC".
Then go to chapter 1, but this time around not on the TOC rather go to the main chapter 1 where you will start writing your contents(words), also select this chapter 1, insert bookmark and add as "chap1" mind you no space and no quotation mark I only used it to emphasize. NB that we are not on the chapter1 in the TOC yet.

Ok, now go to the chapter 1 on the TOC, click insert , add hyperlink , you'll see a "link to:" tag at the top of your page then look inside the "select a place in this document" you'll see our "chap1" that we added as a bookmark earlier click it and press ok. You're done.

2) check the previous page I posted and order of arrangement which I think you'll find useful.

1) Yes nah' start a new chapter on a fresh page. Shew!

The only problem im facing now is to hit publish because amazon isnt allowing me because i havent done the two way verification. I am not receiving the OTP to verify my nigerian number, or do i have to use a USA number of my relative for it to work? Meanwhile i have deactivated DND(do not disturb) on my line just because of this process so i can receive the OTP, but that didnt work too. I would really appreciate your help, thank you.

eliok:
use another Nigerian number. Or try again later. Sometime opt for email otp

Jackofall:


Thank you I used another number and it worked. Please how long did it take before they finally publish your books, I just hit publish for mine. Also can I change the price later in future after it has been published? Thanks

JafunmiFX:
Please I've created my low content book since Monday and it has not go live yet...I didn't receive any message of it being rejected either...what's wrong please

Mcslize:


What's it showing on your dashboard? "IN REVIEW" or "PUBLISHING"?

JafunmiFX:

Some are IN REVIEW
Only one is in PUBLISHING

Non-fiction is the best for beginners in my opinion. Fiction is more scalable than non-fiction but it requires a LOT OF MONEY to play big in that market. I publish exclusively in non-fiction and it has been very profitable so I see no need to venture into fiction. You can do well in non-fiction if you apply yourself and never give up.

If you're looking for what's possible, in June I made over $11,700 and so far this year I've brought in over $74,000.

June Income breakdown

KDP (ebook + KENP) = $1447.62
KDP Paperback Sales = $4026.74
Audiobook Sales = $6256.50

Total Earnings = $11,730.86 (N4.22 million)

Stick to non-fiction

hmm? Stop the free downloads.
Edit the content on kdp dashboard and enable DRM.
Add keywords to be discovered in the sub title . I mean add more keyword in subtitle and description.
Leave it for a week. Welcome to paid downloads.
PS. Do free promo when your sign up form is up in your manuscript. That way you get followers to sell to

Finally Crossed The $15,000/month Mark

The month of September was a great month.

1. I finally crossed the $15,000 earnings in a month
2. I surpassed $100,000 in 2019 earnings
3. I earned $6000+ in paperback sales
4. I had 30 consecutive days of selling 25+ paperbacks a day

Ingramspark was a welcome surprise as well. Below is a breakdown of earnings

KDP (ebook + KENP) - $1780.47
KDP Paperback - $6611.48
ACX Audiobook - $4873
Ingramspark - $1785.37

2019 Earnings To Date - $105,086 (N37.8 million)


The Power Of Focus and Goal Setting

Last year (2018), I set a goal to hit $10,000 a month. That was a scary number for me at the time. But I believed it could be done. I worked tirelessly towards it every day and I managed to meet that target in November 2018. I repeated it again in December 2018.

Later in January 2019, I set an audacious goal: To hit $20,000/month before December 2019...effectively doubling my 2018 goal. I was scared that I was being too ambitious and this was a ridiculous goal to set. However, there's something mysterious that happens when you set a goal and become obsessed with hitting it. Ideas start coming to you revealing ways you can improve your business to help you hit that figure.

One of those ideas eventually led me to Ingramspark and, 3 months to go, I'm very close to hitting 20,000 a month.

I encourage you to never give up. Set goals and work tirelessly towards it regardless of the challenges.

Some people buckle whenever they meet a challenge - they throw in the towel and give up.

Others see a challenge as a minor speed bump...they gather themselves together and forge ahead. Those are the ones that usually make it at the end of the tunnel.

Napoleon Hill said "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve"

Believe you have what it takes to reach your dream goal.

This is a good keyword and can give you huge organic sales. But b4 you jump in, check if the sales figure is spread across books ranking for that keyword. If that is the case, jump in. Secondly, I only one book is raking in all the monies and the others are just struggling, run away from just title(keyword). Why did I say this? It could be that the author of the book raking in all the money is a celebrity or the person is doing mad marketing. Finally, if you are diving in, make sure the title is not trademarked. As writing on a trademarked title could lead to account termination. Good luck.
