No be lie, is table of contents necessary or optional?

With deep pains in my heart, the book that made 200k last month only made 100k so far. This is because I reduced the price.

No review, no promo, no nothing. Just making money till the end of the world. This should inspire you to get started. If 1 book could make this money every single month while you sleep, how much will 99 books make for you? Do the math.

iLegendd:
For being awake till now, I decided to check and noticed it's now 111k today. Sadly, it can't be 200k this month, but next month, it will make 300 — 500k.

I'll keep you guys updated on my depression. #Smiles.

Legend, i hail o, thanks for your gingering, boys are waking up.
So i uploaded my book today, Fonts,Times new roman,size 14,double spacing, word count above 3.7k, a little shy of 4k, but what i saw on the preview, i dont know if because i was using my phone, i was tired of endless editing and didn't really pay much attention but it seems its about 19pages,in which case shey its not supposed to be submitted as the stipulated minimum number of pages is 24?.....anyway, i am just happy i could do it all n submitted,thanks in no small measure to you.
Kept the orice at 99cents, my next book will definitely be better, this was to test the water and see if i could also publish, turns out the hard part is just the writing

iLegendd:




I love that. About the eBook turning to 19 pages, it's right. Amazon sets pages of eBooks while you set pages of book. If you upload a 100 page book, Amazon sets the Kindle version to match their page count calculation based on your word count, not page count of your manuscript.

Yes, I know you're confused with what I just said, but don't worry.

All the best as you keep pushing. You'll smile at last.

oceanized25:
Thanks boss,But it will still be up there and make sales if someone wants to buy right,as in it wont be pull down?

iLegendd:


Yes, it will be up there.

No, it won't be pulled down.

Boss, if i was to make a paperback from that book it wont be on the shrink 19page standard right?

If i wrote another book and decide to enroll the first one on kindle select, free promo,so that it will see more views or readers and exposure to other of my works but the other work carries a different pen name as author will that make sense?

The about the authors page......i have not seen it o, and besides, will everybook be having different about the author page?

Baba clear me, make i make small money for kindle too before this year end abeg

Haba....if u kill urself,then it means you are not smart nah

Answer 1: It won't shrink. Only kindle does.

Answer 2: Yes, but books from different pen names are seen as books from different authors. Don't mix them up. James and Jones are different people, so handle them differently.

Answer 3: About the author page, visit www.author central.com and login with your Amazon account to create an author page for any of your pen names.

Answer 4: Yes, every pen name will have it's individual author page on the same Authorcentral account. Luckily, you don't need an author page for all your pen names because it's a pain in the ***. Only have for that pen name you cherish so much and ignore the rest.

On a niche you are only writing one or two books, you don't need an author page or author bio except you want to. It's a choice.

28 hours ?? !!! Have hope boss

E most expected ... that's narcissism.

Hope is gone. I'm here staring at suya, bolé, and vegetable leaf which I'll use to commit the most anticipated suicide in history.

Good morning boss,I have read somewhere once that if one doesn't have another book to promote, there is no point enrolling his book on kindle select.....what is your view on this?as I intend to enroll to get downloads n hopefully sales

And shey the kindle select is just a 90day period that in those months, your book will be given free downloads for just 5days?

iLegendd:


If you don't want to be on KDP Select, then fine, but publish that book on other platforms via D2D or PD.

If you don't want to publish in other platforms, then put it on KDP Select even if you don't have other books yet.

Yes, it's 90 days.

Yes, you have 5 days inside the 90 days to dash your book out. Sadly, people who get free books hardly read them.

oceanized25:
Thanks bro, but how do i go about publishing them on the D2D or PD platforms?i searched on my wall on the bookshelf page but could not see such.
This work no easy,but when i look at the figures you post, i get motivated.
I am already around 65% to the completion of my next book.

iLegendd:


Lol. It's easy — only the initial stage is a little hard.

D2D is Draft 2 Digital while PD is Publish Drive. They are different platforms. You publish with them and what they do is to send your book to different eBook stores around the world like Apple book store, Google, Kobo, etc. Nowadays, I use PD more. Visit their site at https://publishdrive.com

If this one is tasking too, (I know it's not) then stick to KDP select.

To those starting out, the initial stage is hard if you ignore the fundamentals and become desperate to make money. The reason some people are struggling in this business is because of desperation or ego.

There are two ways to learn this

1. Yourself — through websites and YouTube (the way I learned)
2. Mentorship (by someone who already knows how things work)

If you're in my zone, I'll mentor you for free as long as we meet 1-on-1. Sadly, meeting 1-on-1 is almost impossible for now because of insecurity in the country.

Those who already know me face-to-face always come to my house for free mentorship. See screenshot below of someone coming today. I don't charge. What are friends for?

But teaching through the internet is a daunting task and that's why I charge. Though, virtual mentorship is currently unavailable for now.

For those who will choose option 1, keep moving and don't give up. I have been in your shoes too. One day, you'll arrive as long as you stay humble and learn from those with experience on YouTube and blogs.

Option 1 takes time, but you'll surely get there. Option 2 is the fastest way to success.


Pls, any blogs you can recommend?
Too many YouTubes videos overwhelms one
