Is it advisable to put my Nigerian name as the author on my book? I'm just wondering considering the fact that the bulk of the market are Americans and brits.

put a pen name. Mainly American

Mrdigitech:
I love the way you churn out books so fast. I'm too lazy to write my own books. I would say I hate writing...I'd rather hire a ghostwriter. I believe in using money to make money. I have about $2500 set aside to invest in books. I try to ensure I get the Keyword research aspect right do I don't waste money.

good. That's the most important aspect. I don't joke with it. I'm always learning and testing what works currently

Mrdigitech:
Yes bro, not in all cases though. There are some Keywords that are mainly popular on Amazon KDP. But Amazon generally gives you a popular keyword trend that works across all publishing platforms.

love it . keep moving. Been busy writing for others. Added only 2 books each in January and February

Mrdigitech:
I only have 3 keyword researched books and 6 non keyword researched ebooks (romance niche). Those 3 keyword research books bring in an average of $150 to $250 monthly on D2D. while about $40 to $70 on Google play. $300 plus on KDP. The 3 Keyword research books where ghost written and I handle the rest of the design and publishing process. These 3 keyword research books make up 90% of my publishing income.

wow! So that means any book doing well on kdp will do well in d2d. That's cheering to hear

Mrdigitech:
Publishing Journey has been great and impressive. I now earn substantial income with few keywords researched books I have. I publish across platforms KDP, Draft2Digital, and Google Play.

great. What's the estimated figure royalty from other sources?

How many book do you have please?

How is your publishing journey so far?

How many books now?

So this is more like and appreciation post.

About a month ago, I came across some posts by different members of this forum encouraging people to start Kindle Publishing, which is the new 'gold mine'. I was intrigued and spent my data downloading YouTube videos to understand the art. I also bought the new version of Publisher Rocket that helps you identify the major keywords.

Last week, with the help of Publisher Rocket, I was able to hit a wonderful keyword and I began working on the book. I completed everything in three days and published. I enrolled for KDP Select, meaning that I get paid about 0.0045$ per page read. The next morning I woke up to 1100 pages read. Before the day was over it reached 1500.

Since then it has been climbing and then I sold a copy yesterday. In total I have about 5000 pages read in one week alone. Do the maths.

I am already working on three more books to be published before the end of the week. I believe it can only get better.

I want to say thank you to people like

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good month.
I have been trying to get organized.

Writing and book covering.

Just want to drop this.

Learn as you work this biz. It ain't easy but its not a waste. Any investment here is not a waste.

I have learnt a lot. Spent too now its paying off.

This is not a get rich quick scheme.

Its gradual but steady.

God will help you.

What to learn- Photoshop
Kdp secrets for ranking high.
Keyword research. Etc.


What to do - pray pray pray.

Keep outsourcing
Keep writing.
Have a plan you follow.



What not to do-

Say its a scam

Think and stop everything becos no sales.

Produce same quality

Wait for jona to drop keywords
Browse and waste time online surfing politics.

Be distracted to try many things at the same time. Focus. Please

Thanks you all

Nestle is the largest beverage company by revenue, even bigger than coca-cola...there's no company that cant take over nestle...the major problem happened with the devaluation of the naira, it automatically increases the cost of production, and they can't adjust the price accordingly because Nigeria per dollar income rate shrinks continuously, so they have to reduce the quality so that the price can appeal to average Nigerians. think of it, why is Gala, Coca-cola, Pepsi, bournvita and every other food company reducing their quality of food.
it's a reflection that the average nigerian can only afford less as everyday passes by......even Indomie no dey swell again

I understand that nig cant afford high quality. But the quality reducing part is a no - no.

Why not make a cheaper product of lesser content . or specs. That's more of a choice.

Mind you, largest brand is only cos 5 or six of your product are bring more than half the revenue. If another company overtake them due to low quality in these five or six product , they are out of business

Op leave nig company. Many of them are on the way down. Including telecoms like mtn.

Its very easy to overtake leading brands.

They are just enjoying their monopoly.

Always reducing quality anyhow without consultations and due diligence.

Poor quality sucks.

I'm happy that they will be out of business in next ten to twenty years.

You can't keep giving poor quality and last.

stupid post office telling me that my item of since November is not with them 4 items
for that matter that it might be in lagos how true is that pls @ jboixxx am in kaduna

its true . don't blame them. It seems the post office hqtrs focus on Lagos items first. My items arrived 4th and 10th January. I received it last week. February 6th. A month after arrival. I live outside Lagos too.

The remaining items I believed have also arrived.

So waiting for them.

Be patient if you're outside Lagos.
