Their tax is waved off but they pay Amazon 30% commission. And this is why I will leave Nigeria soon. Because Nigerians pay extra 30%.

Thanks boss. My first audio book . is about to be produce. Actually I want royalty share. No money. The producer refused royalty share option. Seems like I will go solo myself oo

HeliosHay:
1. Yes. It also comes with 3 small booklets on AMS Ads
2. No. I just proofread it and, sometimes, make minor corrections here and there. I always order stuff from a high-quality writer so corrections are always minor
3. Yes. It's not just one writer but a team of writers that are collectively well versed in a lot of different niches.
4. It depends on the persons budget. You can always start with one book, get a feel for how the process works and once you understand it, you can then scale up production. When I started, I didn't take it that serious so was producing one book every 2 or 3 months. Now I do 2 or 3 per month.
5. To have a good quality 10,000 words book in Kindle and paperback will cost you:

Hiring a writer to create the book: $140
Cover Design: $5
Book formatting: $10-20 (depends on the freelancer)
Hiring a Narrator to convert your book to an audiobook: $50-100 (you can go for a 50/50 royalty split with your narrator in exchange for zero production cost. A 10,000 words book will be roughly 1-1.5 hours long)

AMS ads: This is a variable cost. AMS ads operate a competitive bidding model where you bid for your book to appear on page 1 and be more visible. The higher you bid, the more likelihood of appearing there. You can perhaps budget $50 - $150 per month for ads. How well that will work will depends on how well optimized your book is e.g. promoting a book that is already in a poor keyword won't make it sell any better. Likewise, promoting a book that has a poor cover, poor book description, no reviews etc will be ineffective...there are many factors that come into play with AMS ads..it's not as simple as just giving you a number.

However, with AMS ads, you can ALWAYS control how much you want to spend. Amazon allows you to set your budget (which can never be exceeded). You can start with a small budget, test and see how your book sales respond, if things take off, you can then gradually increase your budget etc.

For my students, I help them optimize and set up AMS ads for their first book

Furthermore, there is also the cost of bypassing the ACX restriction so you can publish audiobooks from Nigeria. You have the Kindle Blueprint so you know what I'm talking about.

You need to also factor that cost to the stuff i've mentioned above.

All in all, if you want to publish your first book in Kindle, Paperback and Audiobook (excluding AMS ads), you're looking at $500+

Ofcuz, using one of the strategy I mentioned in the kindle blueprint, with this $500+ you can end up with 6+ books instead of 1. This will help you break even a lot faster.

Launching New Services

For those who cannot afford the Mentorship program, you now have the option to purchase the below services in isolation:


1. Profitable Keyword

I provide you with a profitable keyword you can publish your book in, including suggestions for your book title (and subtitle).

Price - N5000


2. Book Outline

I provide you with a word document book outline for your intended book. This is basically a document you present to your ghostwriter telling him/her what topics you want your book to cover (chapter by chapter breakdown). It helps to guide your writer(s) so as to minimize the amount of fluff they have in your book (when writers run out of ideas on what to write, they tend to fill up your book with fluff just to make up the word count required).

It also helps you to prevent fraudulent writers (on upwork, fiverr etc.) that sell you work they have done for other people, exposing you to copyright issues with Amazon. With a detailed outline, you take away some of the power from them and tell them exactly what YOU want (as opposed to them giving you what THEY want)

I'll do research in the niche your book is in so as to figure out customer pain points, how you can differentiate your book and, consequently, the topic of each chapter of your book.

I'll also suggest what you can use for your lead magnet (should you want to build an email list)


Price - N20,000


3. Access to my writers

I give you access to my writers who you can take your outline to and expect to get quality work at a fair price. They can also help you create your lead magnet (a document you give your readers in exchange for their email address). With this lead magnet, you can start growing your email list of subscribers who you can market things to e.g. online courses, affiliate marketing products, your other books etc.

Price - N10,000


4. Set up your email autoresponder

If you provide me with your lead magnet (should be less than 10MB in size), the email address you want to use and a physical mailing address, I'll help you create a free Mailchimp email autoresponder account, design your landing page and incorporate the link to the landing page inside your Kindle book (word manuscript) so that when your readers click on it, they'll be taken to the landing page where they'll input their email address in exchange for your lead magnet.

You can also use this link on your website or Instagram account to build your email list (especially if you have an Instagram store where you sell stuff e.g. bags, shoes, books etc).

Furthermore, I'll also help you write up the subscriber welcome email. If you provide links to your other books on Amazon, I'll include them in the subscriber welcome email so they can purchase it as well(if they wish to).

Price - N20,000


5. Set up Amazon Marketing Ads For Your Book

If you have the budget to run ads to your book, I'll help you set up AMS ads that will increase exposure to your book and sales.

Price - N20,000


If you are interested in purchasing any of the above packages, shoot me an email at ObinnaEzeanaka@yahoo.com

Note - As these services are new, I'm testing to see how they'll affect my schedule. If I get overwhelmed with demand, these prices will go up.

Do Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing

You basically publish books (you can write them yourself or hire ghostwriters to write the books for you). Once you have the books published on Amazon and set your price, Amazon pays you royalty each time the book sells. Royalty rates can range from 30% to as high as 70% depending on the price of your book.

I've earned over N30 million doing this (since Nov 2016) and have consistently made over $7000 per month for the past 8 months. I've attached some proof of my earnings below (from kindle, paperback and audiobooks). For more proof, see the link below.

If you want a business model that has the potential to scale then this is for you. You're also earning in dollars which means you're insulated from the Nigerian economy

Marbella003:
I took some of the advice from my previous thread and told my husband what happened. Here is the thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/5162191/cheated-husband-guy-work-dont

I was genuine shedding tears as I relayed my shameful experience to him. I apologized and begged for him to forgive me and I promised to never repeat such again. I thought he'd understand and forgive me. But I was wrong. My husband now wants a divorce. Actually, he has sent me and the kids out of his house. I have a daughter who is 4 and a son who is 2. My husband said he doesn't think he is the father. I assured him that he is and that he should get a DNA test to confirm. But he refused.

I rented a 2 bedroom flat somewhere close to my office. This is where I currently stay. Since leaving my husband's house I have only received a phone call from him where he stated the date that he and I were going to visit my parents who are currently in my village. He told me that if I wasn't going to come, he'd go alone and tell them what happened and why he decided to divorce me.

I feel like my life is over. I can't face my parents and tell them what I've done. It's very shameful. I can't even face my friends and relations. I feel like I'm drowning a pool of shame and despair. I can't imagine being a single mother at this age. I love my husband and I enjoyed our marriage. I can't imagine it all being over.

I called my colleague and told him everything. He said that I shouldn't hold him responsible for anything since our rendezvous was based on mutual consent. He said he doesn't want to have anything to with me and we should keep our relationship at work very platonic so as not to raise eyebrows of those who might link him to what happened with me.

I'm utterly hopeless. I feel like taking my life. I almost took this action yesterday but I pitied my children. But with every passing day I feel like suicide is the only way to end my pain. I wish I had listened to those people who advised me to keep what I did a secret. I wanted to, but every time I was with my husband I felt I was constantly betraying him by hiding the truth from him. I just want to die. I can't bare this pain anymore.
