...Continuation So, I started a physical business while still job hunting. I needed to gather some money to pay my rent which was going to be due in December. Just a month into the business I was already thinking about quitting. Perhaps if it was profitable enough, I wouldn’t have felt that way. The few months I spent at home had changed me. Leaving home early in the morning and coming back in the evening wasn’t fun anymore. Since my new business could handle little expenses, I thought about giving KDP another try in September 2020. I couldn’t go back to the mentor I had stopped communicating with, so I reached out to a guru I had had an encounter with before. He decided to help for a fee. Gave me a title to start with and got to work. My pace was just too slow. I was forced to ask my mentor how long it takes for him to publish a book. ‘’I have someone who writes a quality book for me within 4 days,’’ he said. 4 gini? After about a month (I could barely work 3 hours a day), I was 70% done with the book. Then, one day I randomly received a forwarded book on WhatsApp. It was a children’s book with about 30 pages with little words. I can do something like this. Took me a week to finish the book. I published the Kindle version alone since the paperback cover was still difficult for me. The paperback issue frustrated me for about two weeks and I still couldn’t get it done. I reached out to my mentor and he recommended a cover designer. Immediately I contacted the latter and he charged me 4k, I got fed up with the whole thing. I didn’t want to spend any dime on the business again. This is it! I’m done with KDP! 4 Likes 1 Share |

My business was still struggling in January 2021 and I started to use part of my savings for feeding. I had to think of another way out. I decided to invest some of the savings in crypto. Before I could finally make the deposit, FG declared crypto illegal. Chi…ne…ke! I knew I could use P2P, but after reading stories about people that were scammed through it, I stayed away. In the same month, while on this forum, I came across another KDP thread. So, I decided to check my KDP account. To my surprise, I made some sales in December. Holy Shiit! Some Americans actually decided to my book. My own book. The children’s book sold 2 copies, while the title my first mentor gave me sold one. Man, this thing actually works! I sharply decided to open a Payoneer account using the guide in one of iLegendd’s threads. Then I discovered I couldn’t withdraw less than $100 as at then. Okay. I can wait. Now, I’m going to give this thing another shot. The 3 sales were enough motivation. I was gingered! 7 Likes 2 Shares

I'm going to stay focused on this thing till the end of the year. Let's what happens. I made more research. Gathered more ideas online. Tackled the paperback cover issue. Published four books that took about two weeks each. I also finished the book I had abandoned 4 months ago. By April I had about 7 books in my account and my sales had increased. I knew I could do better. Meanwhile, my physical business was a mess. From one issue to another. I was running at a loss. So, I decided to put an end to the misery and give KDP all my attention. I watched tons of KDP related videos on YouTube. From Home Boss to StackinProfit, and Paddy to Shashwat Ashiya. There was so much to learn. These videos inspired me to venture into Low Content Books. I subscribed to Vecteezy and Creative Fabrica to make things easier. I published over 30 coloring books between May and June 2021. But I was mad that my sales in these two months had no coloring books. With all the work and investments? My sales only came from the high content books. One book even made me $40 in one of the months. High Content Books, my love! I’m so sorry I ever left you. To be continued... 6 Likes 4 Shares

...continuation With half of the year gone already, I concentrated on high content books only. I also decided to start doing something I haven’t done in over a decade – praying. The importance of prayer cannot be overemphasized. I kept learning a lot online too. Youtube Go was very helpful. The result of the hard work and prayer was amazing. I made my first ever million with KDP. To think I gave up on it three times before was crazy. Most of the tutorials emphasized using Amazon Ads, but I wasn’t ready to spend a dime on that until I make better money with organic sales. I’ll consider ads this year though. Time to start reinvesting like a mentor advised. This story ends here, but my KDP journey continues… THE END 15 Likes

Galacious1:honestly my belief in your KDP success story is more than 90% but wouldn't like you to make the percentage drop with this kind of response from you. You haven't mentioned your bill for one to one training, you haven't also mentioned your location in respect to such personalized training, the lady/ guy haven't told you that he wouldn't be able to pay for complained about the bill and, you are already advising against that. It appears a bit dodgy if you ask me. Kindly take note of this sir. You need to step up your mode for transparency. I myself am much more interested in one to one training than any other means depending on my level of belief in you and your location. And I'm sure so many peeps are in the same boat with me. I have some other ideas through which your knowledge can be monetized and equally benefit the larger society so far it's genuine but that will be a discussion for another day 2 Likes |

KDP is my remaining passive income stream. I used to blog and vlog. KDP alone made millions for me, only Google AdSense came close to what I make on kdp passively. I love passive income. KDP rocks! Congratulations on your success OP. Keep it up. 7 Likes |
