Oga abeg take it easy with these lies, we're not all foolish here!

I don't need to lie. You can go on my thread and find plenty of proof

E.g. Last month I earned over $14,500 (N5.2 million) and it's all documented.

The Power Of Taking Action

I heard about Ingramspark back in August 2019. I saw the opportunity to create another income stream I didn't have with books I already had..I took action immediately and decided to start publishing my books on there.

In my first month, I brought it $1011.

September will make it my second month on Ingramspark and guess what? I've already made $900+ and we still have 13 days to go!

If I procrastinated about this, this income wouldn't be here.

I've also surpassed $6500 in this months publishing income and I'm currently on target to make $11,000+

This could be you if you have the courage to take action and keep moving forward regardless of whatever challenge you face...make no excuses

Nothing Is Guaranteed In The World Of Business

I receive a number of emails from people asking me to guarantee they'll make wonderful sales immediately they purchase the blueprint. I could easily tell you what you want to hear just to keep sales going BUT my name is valuable to me and I won't have it tainted by making BS promises that won't hold water.

Know this, nothing is ever guaranteed in this life..most especially in the world of business.

If that was the case, everyone who has access to this information would be billionaires!

Imagine preparing to cross a field filled with land mine. Would you rather just wing it and see what happens to you or would you rather take the advice of someone who has successfully crossed it in one piece, and in the process know which area of the land you need to follow to increase the chance of making it to the other end in one piece?

Taking advise from the person that crossed the field without getting blown to pieces by the land mines will only INCREASE your chance of making it..It won't guarantee you'll make it alive because a lot of other things you didn't anticipate can go wrong (you might step on something and fall over, the wind might blow you to another area of the land filled with mines etc).

Taking advise from that person is like using the Kindle Blueprint. It'll help you to increase the likelihood of creating a very profitable book that will make you money. It doesn't guarantee that once you have a book you'll make thousands of dollars in a months time.

Secondly, endeavour to publish one book a month when you're still a beginner.

Why? because you're still learning how the process works and there's always a learning curve. Getting the blueprint will help to reduce that learning curve but it doesn't mean there's absolutely no learning curve left to go through.

You don't want to publish 10 books in one go when you're still learning the process. That's a recipe to losing a lot of money.

I advice publishing one book at a time. After a book is published, monitor it and see how sales do. See how the market receives the book. If it's well-received (sales are good), you can then double down and create another book in the same niche.

If sales aren't good, you put on your handyman hat and start testing things

- Is the book description good?
- Is the book cover compelling enough?
- Is the keyword profitable?
- Have you tried running ads to it to see how it does? etc

Sometimes some average books turn to winners after a few things are fixed.

If your book still doesn't respond after you've tested a lot of things, you can try publishing in another niche or seeking advice from mentors to know what might have gone wrong.

Whatever the case, it's never a good idea to pump out many books at once.

Finally, nothing is guaranteed in this life. Anyone that promises you otherwise (especially without proof) is either deluded or doesn't care about their integrity. They just want your money.

Two days left to go before the blueprint return to its original price of N20,000

On Target For Another $10,000+ Month

We are halfway through the month of September and sales momentum continues to be strong. There has been a slight improvement in ebook and paperback daily sales figures.

In addition, Ingramspark earnings for this month have surpassed $800. Looks like I might double last months earnings total for Ingramspark

My Tenant Horror Story.

Secret To 65-90% Profit Margin

This is my profit margin after EVERYTHING is taken out (cost of running ads, highing ghostwriters, narrators, software subscription fees etc.)

I keep my profit margins high by taking control of as much of the publishing process as possible.

Over the years, I've learned to design covers, format books, proofread them, learn copywriting, write my own book descriptions, do keyword research, design my own ad campaigns, learn how to optimize ad campaigns, learn bookkeeping, accounting etc.

I only outsource what I'm not good at, which are:

- Writing the books,
- Translating the books to other languages and
- Narrating the books.

By the end of this month, I will exceed $100,000 in earnings and to see a huge chunk of that as profit is indeed very rewarding.

It gives you plenty of disposable income to begin investing and building your wealth

As a beginner, I would advise you to outsource as much as you can BUT learn how the freelancers do it so that in due course, you'll take over from them!

myjourneysofar:


You are right. I have thought about this and have decided to go with the version that supports Nigeria.

Quick question:
Can I list a book on KDP select on Ingram?
Can I list a paper back that the title is listed on Kindle Select on Ingram.
Their fees, do I pay it first before listing my titles or they will deduct it from my sales.

If a kindle book is enrolled in KDP select, you're exclusive to Amazon so can't publish ebook anywhere else.

Paperback aren't enrolled in KDP select so can be published elsewhere.

You pay the fees upfront

myjourneysofar:


If Nigeria is your chosen country, as soon as you hit submit, next window is Sorry your country is not supported.
I chose US and I am stock with the area to provide Card.
I may get around that with Payoneer or better still use the version that accepts Nigeria.

Choosing US may come around to bit you later if they find out you're not publishing from the US....they'll then withhold all your money

eliok:
is it free to publish on ingramspark

It's not free.

You'll need to purchase your own ISBNs (unlike KDP that give you free ISBNs)

The blueprint will be updated soon to explain details of how I went about it

myjourneysofar:


Nigerians are not accepted because in Nigeria, electronic signature is not working.
But Nigerians are redirected to another of their site.

What do you need the electronic signature for?

You can provide digital signature by downloading an app called Digital Signature

Mcslize:


Can we publish a paperback version of the same book on Amazon and ingramspark with the same cover?

Yes

eliok:
how much you give ingramspark

30%...I keep the remaining 70%

myjourneysofar:


They redirect Nigerians to their light version.

What do you mean by light version?

Mcslize:
HeliosHay pls which platform is IngramSpark? And how do we go about publishing a hardcover book there? Are Nigerians allowed?

Ingramspark allows you to publish your paperback books outside of KDP and to also publish in hardcover. This also means you can have multiple paperbacks...a lot more earning assets

I don't think theres any restrictions to Nigerians.

I will soon update the blueprint to include details of how I published on it.

charlsy:
I have been trying for a long while to access my backend account, since morning, nothing has dropped. Did Amazon also implement the 2-step verification for your back end account?

Just tried it. It worked for me..I was able to receive the otp almost immediately

charlsy:
It appears amazon has now implemented a mandatory 2 step verification exercise using your mobile number if you want to access your back-end account details and I dont mean access to you account dashboard/login page, although another verification is done on this via email. I have inputted my number severally, but I am unable to get the code amazon should have sent. Is anyone having this same issue?

That's strange...It could be network related.

Made $14,564.36 in August (Finalized Report)

Last month, I started putting a lot of my books in Hardcover format using IngramSpark platform. The sales report came out a few days ago and apparently, I made $1000+ in my very first month on Ingramspark!

This brings my total royalty earnings in August 2019 to $14,564.36 (N5.24 million)

Income Breakdown

KDP (ebook + KENP) - $1753.45
KDP Paperback - $6004.7
Audiobook - $5795
IngramSpark - $1011.21

Ingramspark has just added another passive income stream I never had before.

I hope this motivates you to stop procrastinating and take action!

Maintenance Is Key

To consistently perform over a long period of time, you need to actively maintain your assets.

Once you're done researching your keywords, creating an amazing book cover, proofreading the book to make sure there are no unnecessary typos and eventually publishing your book...half of the work is now complete.

You still need to put in the effort to ensure your books are well maintained.

Know this, just like everything in life, the pareto 80:20 principle will always apply.

This principle says that 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts.

80% of the riches in the world is controlled by 20% of the people


Just like all fingers are not equal, all books are not equal

In publishing, this means that 80% of your revenue will come from 20% of your books (roughly speaking)

I've seen this in my business so its no joke. All books are not equal...no matter what you do, there'll always be those books that perform averagely and, sometimes below average

But, the strange thing is that you also, occasionally, get those books that completely blow it out of the park and more than compensate for other books that aren't doing so well.

Some publishers subscribe to a set it and forget it approach to their business...once a book is published, they don't do anything to maintain it..they just move forward and keep publishing.

I take the complete opposite approach..I actively maintain ALL my books

how?

1. By checking their sales figures against a target I set for each book
2. By actively monitoring the conversion of the ad campaigns backing them

If the campaigns are doing very well, I double or sometimes triple the daily spend. If I can spend $1 to make $5, I'll keep throwing money at that ad all day long!

On the other hand, if the ad isn't doing so well, then I put on my engineering hat and start split testing different variables

1. Is the book description converting well?
2. Is the price point good for that niche?
3. Is the content good?
4. Am I targeting the right audience with my ads? etc.

There's a lot you can work with...and it's always fun when, after much tweaking, I turn an average book into a winner.

Treat publishing like you'd treat a serious business, and it'll pay you like a serious business

Want to learn more details about these strategies? get your copy of the blueprint

Why follow 90% of the publishers who are happy with average results, when you can follow the 10% that get above average results because they dared to do something different!

Xtianvic:
In respect to the tax issue, can I open my kdp account with a Nigerian address and later change it to a UK address before withdrawing payments?

The only thing that can reduce or zero the withholding tax is if you have a tax identification number.

Changing address without supplying a legitimate tax id (during the tax interview) will not do anything. The 30% withholding tax will still apply.

If anything, changing address prior to remitting payment is a recipe for disaster as that will raise suspicion and potential account termination

Xtianvic:
ok. You talked about getting an address from reship dot com. Please throw more light
