Rule number 1 from my research is.... Forget the glory you want to enjoy by using your Yoruba , igbo or Hausa name. Use a pen name instead. Make it sound British if you like

2. Please please please avoid typos and bad punctuation... Your proof reading should be 101% perfect. Oyibo can carry vex for errors eehn. If 1 bad review about typos enter... U are doomed .

3. Try and create funnels to your book. Research this one!

These are just some of the tips I picked up while researching... I haven't tried them though.

You are absolutely right. I have been stuck in the author mindset. But @mk82 has already advised me on that. The thing is that the books i write now are my core areas of passion. I hope to upload all twenty books before September ending and leave them there. Though they are doing fairly, some in 80,000 rank and some lesser. I hope to branch out by October.

Bro, its working. Come and join us in milking Oyibo market. Hahaha

Wow. This thread has been lively and I was wasting away in Amazon. LOL.

This is what I want. Let us interact.

It seems we both started roughly the same day. I have 5 books up but make most of my sales through 2. infact one book has sold over 70 copies though it's priced at 0.99 cos I played around and discovered it did better at that price point.
What price point do you use?

This is impressive. 70 copies in one month. Thats lovely. We need to show these oyibopeople pepper. Keep it going bro and teach us the lessons. Thanks.

I have an account already but I can't publish because I have to link my bank account. Nigeria is not on the list and don't have a PayPal account. I applied for payoneer but its due to arrive by end of next month. What should I do?

Bro forget the money for now. Write, upload and publish. When u make the money, we'll find a way to take it. Amazon can send you a check on your address.

i can write you reviews on ur ebooks

Thanks for the assistance. Can we email ourselves.

Porthos:
Please guys... I really need someone to give me a positive review on my kindle book on amazon. Please, the buyer intend to purchase when he sees reviews. Please guys help me

Its not easy to drop a review on amazon. The person dropping a review must have purchased on amazon before or has purchased the said product. I advise you to contact personal friends and ask them to buy your book and drop a review, then you will refund them the money. You should also think about enrolling your book on KDP select and doing a free promo for 3 days. If the book is addressing a problem, people will download it and read it.

I also advertise my other books in any book i am offering for free. I have used the method to sell 5 copies in one day, 6 copies, etc. But I still do need to make better sales.

Thanks

EkoErrands:
Reviews are important no doubt... But I think that's the easy part. You can ask a friend to plug in a review for you. You can also ask 10 more friends to do same.


There are other factors involved ...
I haven't published yet...I'm still writing but I'm doing lots of research and I can share in this discussion...

Bro. You're welcome on board. Let us know what you have learned so far. It might save a life(lol).

The challenge really is not about getting reviews from friends, but getting verified purchase reviews based in USA. Although I have told some friends and they accepted to buy and add a review. So this week, that's what I'll be exploring. So far, I have 9 books and at least I sell 1-2 copies daily, but i need to move faster. Today is my 20th day in the experience and I just have about 30 copies sold. I need to learn how to sell 20 copies of books daily. I'll keep learning.

Welcome bro.

@MK82,

Thanks so much for taking time to respond. Guys listen to what he says. Publish your one book but move on. You need to write several books to really make money. So far I have published 10 books in 30 days (about 70 pages each). The sales are coming in but not as fast as I want it. But because the books are in my core area of passion and calling I am not really worried. I will upload all 20 books before September ending and then branch out like the OP advised me.

I am particularly grateful that he explained to me the difference between

1. The author mindset
2. The publisher mindset.

Basically, the author wants to showcase his books and he may not be so bothered about sales. He wants his works to be seen by people and appreciated. But the publisher is looking for where the most money is and publishes on those areas. I am glad I have learnt that.

In publishing your books, determine if you would rather go with the author mindset or the publisher mindset. Both are important But one makes more money than the other.

Cheers @MK82 (Actually I dont like thisyour username. Its hard typing it. )

slimjoe007:
Hi,
I also started my kindle publishing biz this month and have just 4 books up but sales have been very slow especially with no reviews.

Its looking to me that reviews are very important. I will take time to explore how to get reviews. 6 books so far, 20 copies sold, no reviews.

I know however that that will not discourage me, I will look for a way out.

mk82:
Yes, then promote them for 2-3 days.

Hey bro, what do you recommend? The free download or countdown deal or ad campaign.

By the way, i have uploaded 6 books so far, with only 15 sales, in 10 days. I really need to improve the results.

Thanks

kentochi:
i want to learn from guys like you
would be kind to share your training materials with me?

You can find a lot of free materials to teach you online. If you are in Lag and bump into my office I can share my materials with you. But this business needs more action than materials. Its all about writing and selling books. This thread also has great tips:

https://www.nairaland.com/1499182/making-regular-income-publishing-amazon/59#48198596

Here we will be exchanging success boosting ideas more.

mk82:
A few months before it expires, they'll send you a reminder email to apply for a new card. It will also include details of how to go about it.

1. I don't do anything to get reviews. All my reviews are natural.
2. No we can't meet unless you want the one on one training. You can ask your questions here or send them to the email on my profile page. I do my best to answer everybody's questions.

Thanks.

Do you suggest I enroll all my books on KDP select?

@mk82

I just started acting on this. I would really need some motivation. I just published 4 books and hope to publish 10 more before month end. As a blogger and web designer I have built my writing capacity very strongly and can finish a 5000-word material in just 10 hours.

How do I go about getting reviews? I believe a book will not sell much without reviews.

Any way we can meet, I would be grateful. My office is at Allen Avenue Ikeja, let's talk one on one please.

Thanks

EDITED:

I actively started publishing on Amazon Kindle in August, 2016 after taking an online course and following through with @MK82 thread. The original intention of this thread was for group learning, but I have now edited it to reflect what I have learned in the last months in this business and state various ways I could help anyone who wants to publish his books online.

The group learning still continues but just incase anyone wants my help as I have gotten several emails from NLders to help since this thread opened, I can now help out for small fee

MY INCOME EXPERIENCE


1. Month 1 - August - $110

2. Month 2 - Sept - $359

3. Month 3 - Oct - $478

4. Month 4 - Nov - $740

5. Month 5 - Dec - $880

6. Month 6 - Jan 2017 - $1,100

7. Month 7 - Feb 2017 - $1,800

Please note:

1. I calculate all earnings as dollars, even though I know that when the 51 pounds of Sep and 55 pounds of Oct are converted, it would be more. I just put everything as dollars, so that I don't exaggerate things.

2. I also include my CreateSpace income in the calculation.

UPDATE (AUGUST 06, 2017)


[s]I NOW HAVE A MANUAL

Hi guys,

After one year in this business, I have now written a manual to share my experiences so far.

It will also provide a good entry level information for getting started with writing, publishing and selling books online through Amazon. I also talked about niche research and niches that have better chances of success, plus how to source content for your books.

You can request the manual today by writing me at the email on the first page of this thread.

Please note that the manual is not free.

I spent time and effort to write it so definitely I'm selling it. This doesn't stop the free guides going on WhatsApp, and this thread. The free lessons will continue.[/s]

THE WHATSAPP GROUP

That reminds me, if you are not on that WhatsApp group, you are missing. Many of the guys who started following from this thread, who didn't believe they could write have made some nice income. They can testify.

To join the WhatsApp group, you have to WhatsApp me, or AncientTimes. Do not just drop your number. We don't have time to start saving everyone's number and then adding them one after another. But when you send a message, it's easy to give you the join link. There are now over 130 members on the group. Read from page 30 upwards to get our numbers.

And by the way, all the lessons in the WhatsApp group remain FREE.

Blessings

MY LESSONS EXPERIENCE:


1. Publishing books online through Amazon KDP is a very viable means of earning income. It may not be a get rich quick business model but it surely does work. Consider that these books will keep earning income for life, even while I am no longer doing anything.

2. The more books you have, the better you can earn. So far, I have about 40 books that bring in over $2,000 monthly.

3. This is a great way for anyone to earn income, especially for authors and those who have the motivation to create books on niches.

Tell that guy I said when he gets married, he may likely dies before the wife and other men will sleep with the wife the same day he died and continue

This topic is very sensible.

Rather than attacking the person of the poster I think you guys should intelligently dispel the hard proofs he has provided.

I love intelligent discussions like this.
