U1:
I have always wondered how people are able to make money from KDP publishing, especially with a book of like 3,000 words. This is because there are free blog posts via Google that seem to do a great job on some topics that the books cover.

Could someone shed light on this, please?

People want detailed information on specific problems. Those blog posts on Google may be too short to do justice to the particular problem a person is seeking solution to.

They just want something more detailed and well structured to read to solve any issue or problem they are facing.

Book writing is all about solving people problems in a written format. Most Amazon readers want something more detailed and quality filled. That's why.

Most of my books are 15k-80k words long, depending on the title and well packed with quality contents and properly structured.

Amazon is a long term business model. So one needs to always ditch out quality contents to be able to stand the test of time.

Thanks for your detailed response.

Of course, that's true. But there some titles specifically written by popular authors that one just can't write on even though it's not trademark when searched on uspto.gov.

For example, the title adult children of emotionally immature parents.

Should one write on that title above, it will automatically be flagged by Amazon.

Those are some of the type of titles I was referring to.

I want to ask. What font type and font size do you usually use for the body text of your books, and what line spacing?

You don't have to repeat or replicate the same title of a book after you must have done your trademark research on that keyword.
You can perfectly rephrase the title. I can choose a similar title such as " Immature Parents of adult children" and then add other omitted keywords on the subtitle or on the backend keywords.

This is the format I use on all my books:

Spacing: 1.5
Font: Georgia
Font size: 12pt
Text: left aligned
Word count: 30,000

Cheers.

For the bolded, you made a very good point.

As for the font details above, that's exactly what I have been using for all my books. The spacing, font and font size, are all exactly what I use.

But can you imagine that someone dropped a review on one of my books writing full episode that can go for a book complaining that my font is a bit too big?

I just told myself that one can't please some Amazon buyers no matter what.

There will always be those that will still find faults or have a problem with everything that was well intended and it is beyond our control.

Sorry about your account. The content of the termination mail will really help us advise you better.

Omo, after years of formatting people's books for KDP on Fiverr, the werey them don block my account.

I think this is a sign to publish my own books.
Abeg, where I fit get my first high converting, low competition title?

I like December

December

Galacious1:
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!

Bro I really love this your thread on Amazon KDP, I've just recently opened my Amazon account and I have done the necessary registration, but where I am stuck is in the getting paid section.
I was told to open a Payoneer account which I have done, now how do I link my Payoneer account with my KDP account.
Or is there any other way in which Nigerians can be paid?
You response will be highly appreciated, thanks.

Wow! This is an inspiration.

Please, Galacious1 McsLize

What niches would you advise I target for this Q1?

Galacious1:


Of course. $288 spent in December

Wow that's nice. Organic sales cannot do it alone at this point in time due to the very stiff competition. We surely need to support sales with Ads.

Will start running Ads soon though. 35 books, you spent $288 and made above $5k, that's a good return on investment.

I want to ask: which Ads do you usually run? Keywords targeted or product Ads?
