Besides you seem to be forgetting that we are in the quantity business on amazon. Put out as much of anything as you can, so that if you only sell 1 book out of 100 books in a month, that's a sure $100.

If anyone wants to be offended and not buy, that's cool. At least one person in this world will. Wasn't written for one person alone.

Well, I guess I didnt do research on things like that. You know, we have this natural instinct to fight for our own outside here. Even though I dont like our leaders with passion, I just cant afford to talk about our problems outside. That was just my emotions. And I still dont think I'll repent from that. Sorry.

I just read your blurb on Amazon...and I must say; it was very very interesting and well thought out . I give you that. But with 40pages at $7 I doubt you will be making much sales. I would like to read it...but can I put down $7 for a 40page book about a fantastically curropt country...then answer is No. I can probably guess what happens in such a country and still hit 9/10. So I might be wrong but I feel your price is going to kill it.

Lol. No worries my man. That price is only for the hardcover, the paperback version. (They ) said that the cost of printing it means I can't sell below $6. However, the ebook version is only 99 cents. In fact, as of yesterday sef, it was free. You can read it freely if you have subscribed to kindle unlimited, orrrr...even better, using your amazon account, you can give me a nice review and your email address, and I'll mail a copy to you free.

I cant tell why u dont have a sale yet. i usually sell at least 2 books a day, sometimes 9, sometimes 8, sometimes 3. But I just found out I sell two book a day, compulsorily. Though I have 14 books, working on the 15th one. Maybe u should look at the niche u are writing on. If its so crowded with experts you may take time to break into it. any links to your books so we can take a look and judge better.

Did you create your account on creatspace as a Nigerian?

bros1234:


LOL bro,

There are no steps. It's just easy.

Go to kdp.amazon.com

Register. Its pretty easy. Try it

2)my second book:kidney and bladder health is ranked 1 in top 100 free of basic science and 6,978 in Amazon bestsellers. no reviews
3)my third book:pet maintenance is ranked 22 in top 100 free of animal care and pets and 13,683 in Amazon bestsellers. no reviews

Good job guys, now am officially hooked to this thread.

EkoErrands:

No dont panick. It seems you put your book for free for some days. The review is helpful. Start working on the CreateSpace version asap. Don't make the mistake i just made today. I offered one of my books free today and guess what, got about 550 downloads. i wish i had created the paperback version so those folks can at least consider buying it.

EXICON:

The easiest way to get your money is payoneer. The will give u a USA bank acct which u will submit in amazon. Thats what i'm talking about.

Anyone who needs special assistance, please send me a mail at: tvchost @ gmail dot com

OP, can Nigerians buy a kindle book?
I'm just curious to know this as most of my book promotions I've done are for foreign audience.

Did you use up all the free 5 - days to place your book on free downloads?

How many pages make each of your books?

Omo, I just cant still figure out what happened on Sunday. I put out one of my books for free on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, it had 24 downloads. then on sunday, 675 downloads. I'm still trying to understand what happened. If anyone has had such experiece, pls tell us what happened.

What you saw was what exactly happened.
My story, after a week of publishing my book at $3 ...I haven't had any sales at all. Even the bleep I saw on the graph before the release date just went up and came back to zero. Meaning the person returned the book. So no sales and no money.

OK now I have changed my pricing from 70% royalty to 35% royalty today... Just to see if the 65% will be attractive to Amazon to showcase my book more... I'm still watching events. I'm working on createspace now.

I didn't want to rush into createspace since because I was still proof reading for minor errors and ommisions and I'm glad I didn't rush to creatspace.

I even did a paid promotion on Amazon... That only brought about 6 clicks costing me $0.90 dollars before I terminated the promotion.

So far no sales and I don't know what I'm doing wrongly.

i am so confused right now.i just published my 5th book today but here is the problem.some one bought one of my books but i didnt see the sale in my report.the only thing i can see is the free downloads.is it because i registered on the 9th of this month.or do i have to wait until after 60 days before i see the results.its really frustrating and discouraging. abeg gurus in the house,help me.

Bro. dont be discouraged. Go ahead and write more books. I dont do fiction. I write mainly on my passion. So far, I make 2 sales a day. In fact sometimes I sell more. Yesterday I sold 19, two days ago, i sold 15, today-6, several other days, 2, 3, 7, etc. So I just tell myself that I sell two books a day. In fact my books rank 1, 15, etc, in their categories. What i dont understand is how 700 people downloaded one of my books in one day and i didnt sell up to 100 books that day.

Remember we are in this for the cash, so maybe you should consider doing non fiction

Not sure what u mean by that u registered on the 9th. Your report shows whats happening day by day. If it shows, no sales, then no sales. And yes, those oyibo people do return books. Usually u will see the sale but there will be no money credited to you. If you go to month to date reports, u will see the details. This month so far I have sold 101 books in the US market with 5 returns. Why those oyibos return books is what i dont know. Something they can even read few pages before buying.

Dont give up Write more books on different subjects until u get whats selling. I have 18 books so far. some are not selling at all. but the ones that are selling encourage me

bros1234,

Please, which area/niche(non-fiction) will you advice one to begin with?

And please explain to me why the price of books published as calendar,hardcover,paperback and board book are different.
