Please how do you stop unperforming keywords?

I can't find any button on my ads dashboard to stop individual keywords. I want the ad to keep running but I want to stop the ones with many clicks but no sales.

Click into the ad, go to targeted keywords and stops the ones you want to stop getting impressions

how long does it take to get your first pay

2 months

Currently putting a recently published book through the launch process and the result has been impressive.

Given the recent change in the Publishing industry (audiobook Goldrush is officially over), it's even more important to extract every bit of performance from the ebook, paperbacks and hardcover editions of your book.

One way to maximize performance is via Amazon Advertising. This is a bit scientific and a bit artistic. It requires patience and constant monitoring/optimization to weed out the non-performing keywords and double-down on the keywords that are bringing sales.

Do this well, and you will see tremendous results in your bottom line

That being said, it's incredible to note that quite a number of people are still sleeping on publishing. You see people searching for legitimate ways to make money and change their lives.

Get this...in 2019, my total revenue from Publishing was over N50 million and N36 million of that was pure profit

If that is not life-changing I don't know what is.

Keep your head down and work hard and smart. With persistence and the right strategies, you'll eventually unlock your potential and earn the income you deserve.

N/B - The dollar to naira exchange rate has been an absolute joy for those who earn in foreign currency!

Yet another reason to stop sleeping and get publishing

I don't have a laptop Sir and I have already completed my book but how can I format without a laptop. I am stranded here.

Find a cyber cafe and get it done there...if not then outsource it to someone who can do it for you

NaijadrivaCars:
HeliosHay, nwanne, adim interested.

The books you publish, do you use your real name on it?

You can use a pen name

@helioshay

I bought the blueprint for 20k sometime in 2019.
Looks like you've made updates.
Can I get the update version, please?

If you email me proof of purchase I'll send you the current version of the blueprint

Lenny9000:


If I say I don't understand what you are saying I'd be lying... Just that I would love to Speak with you after buying... There are a Few Basic stuff that I would like to ask you... If not for this Corona Virus I might stop by.. Anyway thank you so much for all you are doing. I will hit you via email soon. I have checked you on Facebook Couple of times but don't know if you are still very active there. Once again thanks
God bless

You're welcome

Mbanu!! You go teach me oh.. Or I go find you come London... Lol.. Would have done this last year, but traveled out.. Anyway will hit you up via Email and whatever it will take, I need that Mentorship... Even if you Can't put all your Time into it because of your personal commitment to other stuff... From everyone that I have met online, you seem to be the most credible.. Will be in touch..... Or las Las, suggest or connect me to your Best Student so that I can communicate with him on the regular and Yes I can buy the one time offer for #40k.. How much will that be in dollars or pounds?

That should be about £80

Mentorship takes too much of my time and it's not scalable since committing that much time to one person makes it very difficult to give the same to other people. The quality of the mentorship drops and I burn out. It's not worth it.

Owners of the blueprint can contact me via WhatsApp for questions if anything isnt clear. The keyword research video has gone into tremendous detail on how I do keyword research and use the keywords I find to structure my book title/subtitle. Anyone can do it with the right information

Lenny9000:
HeliosHay
I will hit you up via Email... I have the #100k for your course already, but just need to get some Money for the Ghost Writers etc... When I start, I want to get straight to work at once and get my Book Published ASAP while I am still learning. That's the only way I can do this

It's nice you've managed to get the funds but I no longer offer mentorship.

The things I thought in the mentorship have been summarized in different resources including the kindle blueprint, keyword research video, and the ten profitable keywords in 3 different niches books.

All 5 resources are available for N40,000 when purchased together or a total of N60,000 when purchased individually

Owners of the blueprint can still access my WhatsApp for questions when necessary

With the recent changes on ACX, the publishing game has indeed changed. Strategies w
That worked in 2019 may not be so effective anymore in 2020. This places a lot more emphasis on ebook, paperback and hardcover editions of your books.

Adjust your publishing strategies to reflect this.

All other resources are still up to date. However, I will be updating the kindle blueprint soon to reflect some changes that have happened in the publishing space.

Happy publishing

No more updates?
What's new?

Is the bonanza still on going?

It's still ongoing

WalkerMichael:
Hi helioshay

Uploaded my first book on the 10th of March.
Still pending review.
How soon before It gets active?
I hope I do not need to panic?

Is it kindle or paperback? Paperbacks sometimes take longer

twosquare:
Hmm �... That's interesting. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome

twosquare:
@HeliosHay,

Do you recommend going exclusive on Amazon? Or going wide?

I am asking because of Kindle Unlimited, KOLL, etc. Which one works for you best---exclusivity or going wide?

Personally I've made more money with kindle unlimited than going wide

myjourneysofar:


I have a title that sells a copy or more monthly.

Can I change the book title, descriptions and publish the same book with another name? Will Amazon penalize me?

Just like ambitiouschap said above. Unpublish the old book and republish it again

The key to scaling in kindle publishing is to reinvest consistently...the problem is that some people are either scared or simply don't have the discipline to do it. They rather splurge when they hit big in one month..don't let that be you

WIZGUY69:



Baba! I have 2 books and ebooks on my Kdp. I sold only a copy, How do you do yours?

I just follow the strategies in the blueprint. Although I have over 60 books

Hello Michael,
how are you doing?
please i would like to ask a question and it goes thus;

1) For each of the 10 profitable keywords you are selling for the Self-Help, Cooking & Computer Niches Respectively,
are they evergreen niches that won't fade off, i mean what if i buy them and they are not as profitable, yeah maybe profitable but not as profitable as you said
2) some niches in kindle business are seasonal, do these keywords not fall into such categories?

Thanks and More Thanks.

Regards

All keywords on Amazon are seasonal BUT the degree of seasonality is what matters.

Some keywords are HIGHLY seasonal e.g. books about Christmas, Halloween etc. Those events happen once a year so sales drop drastically all year round except for those months where the events are celebrated.

Other keywords are slightly seasonal due to customer behaviour on Amazon. Traffic on Amazon may not be as high during certain times of the year when people aren't buying books a lot

Other keywords may be seasonal because of the behaviour of an underlying asset e.g. Bitcoin...when the price of bitcoin rises a lot bitcoin books start selling well but when the price fall drastically sales on Amazon books about bitcoin also fall.

There is no such thing as a keyword that is 100% evergreen...sales will always fluctuate but not as much as other highly seasonal keywords.

Coming to your question, the keywords I cover in the book are evergreen keywords - that doesn't mean that their level of profitability would be the same all year round...they may be wildly profitable during certain times of the year and just about profitable during others. What matters is that they still remain profitable and you can make money with them for the most part of the year

Thanks a lot

You're welcome

morningstar55:
@Helioshay, kindly help me with the following...

1. I'm unable to go below 2$ when reviewing the price of my book. Why is that?

2. Will i be penalized by Amazon if i use the same description for two similar books with different pen name?

3. I have 3 books on my dash board, how can i spot the book thats bringing sales?

4. How do i check my KENP stats?, also know the book thats being read?

Thanks as i await your response

1. When a manuscript exceeds certain file size you cant price it below $2. Perhaps u have a lot if pictures which dramatically increased the file size above the threshold

2. This question is best directed towards Amazon support as they have the ultimate say with regards to what's allowed and isnt. Personally I've never tried it before

3. As long as the titles are different you can view from the report dashboard the sales by individual title

4. You can view this from the report dashboard

BiqSean:

pls boss aw many thousands words do you have in msword after you finish writing

Atleast 20 000

ufotty2001:
I know Sir, anybody can do it but it is not as easy as we present it here...
It is taking me up to 25days just to write one book..

Anything worthwhile is never easy..otherwise everyone would be successful at it.

U hv to put in the work consistently and follow a strategy that works.

ufotty2001:

Really great.. you are doing well.. oooin!!!

Thanks.

Anybody can do this..it just requires commitment and consistency

ufotty2001:

Sir, how many books have u published... So far?

Over 60...I dont keep precise count of the amount of books I've published.

horlamilekan23:

God bless you more as you keep updating us with your sales .
This serves as a motivation to most of us here

Amen.

You're welcome

Over $11,000 in January And A Slow February

Last month, I made $11,556.22 (N4.16 million) from Amazon Self-publishing. This was distributed across KENP page reads, ebook sales, paperback sales and audiobook sales. As usual, paperbacks and audiobooks brought in the lion share of the royalty.

That being said, February has been somewhat slower (as was February last year) but I'm hopeful I'll finish above $10k. Furthermore, I'm hoping that momentum will pick as we approach easter holiday as people will look to start purchasing books to travel on holiday with or simply gifts for loved ones.

If you're a publisher, I advise you to seriously consider the niches that lend themselves to holiday seasons - some of these niches are presented in the blueprint.

Hope your publishing is going well?

All the best!

Hi. I published the blueprint before. I will contact you for the rest later. Keep me in mind
