I'm enjoying you're tips and contributions on this thread. Thanks a lot bro.

How's the sales this month?

Thank you sir. Sales have been great. Though they are coming in slowly, but they are steady. I manages to make my first sales from the Canadian market since beginning kindle business. I made two sales from there.


Sorry for the late response. This month has been a lot busy for me, with work and everything. I have not written any book yet. But I have two on my mind to write on. I am looking at it that would be a March Product. And what about you sir? How are sales this month. Some of my titles that I least expected have been generating sales in the other markets



Question for you?


When you make money from other market, how does Amazon pay you? Do they convert it to dollar before paying you. I am talking about sales in Canada and India and Japan. How do they pay you sir? Thanks for the response.

Morning Tips

Just an advice.
It is important to know that since this is a business, you must have a constant desire for information. Never overgrow your business. Be a constant student and keep learning. Learn every time, from everybody that has something to teach you.
Never be discouraged when writing, if your book is not selling, keep writing. With time the books will sell.

Besides that, if you write a book that is not selling, hold on, be at peace. Keep writing, the books will sell and pick up selling. I give you an example of a book that I wrote in anger management, the book never sold. However, during the month of January, sells picked up and the book sold 19 copies of paper back. It became my second highest book in the month of January for both paper back and Ebook in the US market.



Write and let everybody know that you write.

Aragon:
Thanks for the updates!
Please are you on whatsapp? if yes, can I get your number and Email? Godbless

Send an email to my profile and I will get back to you.

MORNING TIPS.

The Kindle store market is a great one. There are certain things that you need to know.

1) Ever green niche or category.
While sometimes, you write books on a category because you believe that the Category or niche has money flowing in it, however if you can identify ever green niches then you have hit the jackpot. An ever green niche is a niche that will continue to make sales for many years. If you write in that kind of niche, you are likely to see sales continue to roll in little by little daily. Question? How do I identify an ever green niche. First, the niches are normally not competitive. But small niches. But with time, they will become mega niches. The type of books that will be good are usually informations books that are about beginners. Let says comminucation Guide for Beginners. Or in a new formed category by Amazon, you created a book Amazon, you created a beginners book in that category. You make the book rich in information and content. I can tell you that in many years to come, the book will continue sell like fire.

2) Secondly, when your book begins to sale and customers begin to complain about defective quality, the greatest thing you need to do is rush back to the book and edit it. Make necessary changes.
3) keywords and contents.
While keywords will help you to sell your books, but make sure that the content that you are providing is quality one. Keywords is good and ranking your book on the first page of Amazon is wonderful. But when you combine this with poor quality, then you will not get sales even though your books are ranking on the first page of Amazon.



Just a tips for somebody. God bless you.

Tnx, a big help

You are welcome sir

bros1234:
Great advise. Thanks

Thank you big boss. GOD BLESS YOU FOR OPENING THIS THREAD.

cheehummer:
@ancient times, bros1234, how do you pick keywords and categories.
Thanks

Keywords are right there in Amazon themselves. If you go to Amazon, click on your search bar and make sure that it is in the kindle store option. To ensure that it is on the kindle store, click on a small arrow by your left and then select kindle store. Then type What your book is all about slowly in thr search bar and see what amazon will suggest to you. Then click on each key word. Let says, you wrote a book on anger management, when you type anger management, then you will see options that amazon will suggest. Once you have done that, click on each one. Then check on the first 5 books that rank for that key words. They should have the bestseller rank of 10,000 to 30, 000 or less. That mean that there is money in that keyword. For further keywords, type anger management a, type b, c, then D....... Till Z to see the words that will be suggested to you. After that, then make sure that you use some of the keyword in your book title and subtitle. For me, my principle is to combine at least 3— 5 keywords in my title and subtitle. It will give you a higher chance of ranking your book on thr first page of search engine optimization (SEO).

I have been trying this and it works. Some of my books are now ranking on the first page of Amazon search page. For category, look at similar books on the keywords that you are writing and then add thr same category.



My advice to you is to study more on keywords in google. Study more about it. God bless you.

Its not wise to use ATM to cash your Payoneer dollars. Not wise at all. Always, always use an exchanger.

Payoneer also charges about 29.9 annual card maintenance fee.

I have learnt my lessons.

djlaqua91:
Always use an exchanger. Their Atm charges are killer. Even as you input your card $1 I believe is already deducted, check balance with atm same thing. Plus the rate is at the official low rate.

How many dollars did they even charge, I can't tell. They almost finished the money in my account. I will never use their card again for any reason. These people and their ways.

Payonner charges when using your ATM here is too much. Besides, they also charge you a yearly fee. And they offer just about the exchange rate of 285, I think this is bad on their part.

@Ancienttimes you are really doing a wonderful and fabulous job,I was so elated when I read through your earning success of January and how far u have gone,believe me I have been following track of you since last year October,I so much admire how persistence and hardworking you are.I am an unemploy graduate it was my desire for making money online that made me stumble on this op tread around sept last year which made me make up my mind of going into writing when I sort out issue with my laptop soonest.
@op and @ancienttimes u have really given me hope.
Lastly hope u don't mind putting me through whenever I am ready also I want to ask so as to prepare my mind ready,the $10 premium of copyscape is it to be paid monthly or yearly.

And unemployed Graduate, now you have an employment. What you need is just a good laptop, desire to earn online, steady Internet connection, good research abilities. And God's goodness and mercies to succeed. And you will be surprise. To launch my February, some of my books sold in the very first day of the month of February and are still selling. To also let you know, I am working full time with a Company here in Nigeria, however, I still by the mercies of God devide my time and do this business. My weekends are always important to me because those are the day I use to occupy myself alot with writing and publishing. Wishing you all the best.


Finally, if you can't write, outsource, if you can't design a book cover, outsource. Outsource means looking for someone who will do these things for you and you will pay him.


Wishing you all the best.

I can say you are highly welcome. Thank you for the encouragement too. I will say that I will be willing to offer some Help to you whenever that you desire. Besides, we all are learning in this business. I started create space properly in January. What happened in October, was just a trial of the system. And I can I say that within that short time, I have learnt a lot. So don't wait and keep delaying, the earlier you start off, the better. Right now, I have five books on thr system. Many of the books are making the hot new release list by the mercies of God.


Ask any question, and you will be answer. The $10 is for copyscape. Once you pay $ 10, they will give you searches for up to 200 times. Since I paid my ten, I have published five books with it and I have more than 158 credits or searches left. Know this, that if you want to avoid problem of plagiarism with Amazon, then you must have to begin in thr place of copyscape. Pass your books through copy and Amazon won't have any form of issues with you.

House is too quiet, what is happening in KDP and createspace so far in this few months of February?

bros12345:
Nice work bro. More cash to your efforts.

Thanks sir, you are a greater encouragement.

I just want to bless God for the month of January. I have 4 books right now in the system. This is how January ended for me
KDP USA— 36 USD
KDP INDIA— 141.78
CREATESPACE — 51 USD
KDP AUSTRALIA — 0.46


well, that us how we went in this month of January. One of my books, has over 1600 Kenp read, there are others with 300 and so forth.

This made me realised that there is money online. I have alot learned so much within this short period of time. God bless the works of our hands and God bless every body in this thread.

djlaqua91:
Danke bro

And using that, you were able to to avoid tax of 30%.

How beneficial is this kindle matchbook

bros12345:
I think I have given this guide in the past. Please see if you can scan backwards.

Okay, because I read almost the entire thread and have not seen anything like that before.

Hello OP, WHAT does IRN means in KDP Dashboard and what does Amazon.in also means. I just noticed that one of my books has the best seller amazon Rank of 5, 585 in the IN market, what does that really means?

Today alone, that particular book sold 25 copies in that market.

AgreatMan:
You will need to link your nigerian acount to fiverr. Once you agree on a fee with the freelancer, fiverr will direct you to a paypal page, they will also charge you 10% higher than the agreed amount amount. Let's say you order a 10usd gig, they will charge you 11usd. I believe paypal is the only available payment get-away for nigeria.

O thank you so much, you mean if I don't get a pay pal account, I can order for any gig from Fiver? How much does it cost you to ask a free Lance writer to write a book for you? Can I pay with my payoneer account?

Exactly, how did you get the employer identification number Bros 12345. I need to know so that I can avoid that 30% withholding tax stuff.

Can I transfer my payoneer funds to a bank in the U. S and have somebody send me a dollars.

bros12345:
Outsource?

Never tried that yet. And I don't plan to for now. The best I plan to do is to hire two people in the next 3 months. I believe I can get decent folks for 40-50k a month and get them on board to write for me in the office.

It's cheaper for me that way. If two staff can get me four books a month, I would have 40-50 books in ten months with under 1 million. I think that's cheaper.

You never cease to a amaze me. I spoke with MK82 today and he told me that he has some Nigerians that he has tried to write for him.

Hello House, MK82 and others, the house has been too quiet recently. How do I outsource a book on Fiverr. Please I need urgent answers.

BROS 12345, please a brief question. How do you outsource a book on Fiverr? Thank you so much.

Joseid:
Top of the morning to you.
I already have an alternative cover.
I won't be focusing on romance. My major niche is on Christian books. They should go live soon. Sometimes, I just like to try something different. I'd explore other niches too.
How are you book sales so far?

That is Good, choose the area that you have the greatest strength. God guide us all.

bros1234:
17 copies? Wow. Once again, congrats and welcome to the club.

Thank you sir, for your encouragement
