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?

Sorry bro. I don't advice on things that mislead Amazon

What you are talking about is something that can lead to account termination.

With the planned devaluation of the naira by this nextLevel govt, will TB still be profitable afterwards...

https://www.independent.ng/expert-cautions-buhari-against-planned-devaluation-of-naira/amp/


Is there any dollar money instruments that can be converted pending clearer clouds..

You can put your money in a USD domiciliary account or invest in Euro Bonds etc.

If they do devalue, I suspect it'll be a minor devaluation (perhaps N360 to N400)....nothing major like when Naira went from N150 to N360 to the dollar

Six days into September...have surpassed $2000

The momentum in paperback sales has kicked into another gear so far this month. I hope it continues.

As things stand, I'm quickly closing in on $100,000 in 2019 earnings.

If I can do this, you can. There's no magic to it

Abba Father!
20,000?? What if they don't sell as you envisaged? Then that energy is wasted?

You don't build a 3 story building rental apartment wondering whether it'll never rent

When you've done your research and

- Selected the right location to build your apartment
- Make sure there is demand for housing
- Make sure people are willing to pay the rent you intend to set etc.

You build with confidence knowing people will rent it and pay.

Why? because your confidence is backed up by hard research facts...not speculation or hope

It's the same with publishing. When you've done your research and made sure there's demand for the book, you commit your money with confidence knowing people will buy

Kindle Blueprint Updated

I have updated the Kindle Blueprint to include another strategy on ideal times to publish certain kind of books. Below is a preview:


When Should I Publish My Book? Picking Your Publication Date

Just because a book is finished doesn’t mean the timing is right. Your publication date is important. There are certain months that would be perfect for your book and make your pitch to retailers and media outlets easier, and some months you should avoid altogether. Below are some tips to help make sure your book doesn’t launch with bad timing.


1. January – New Year, New You

If you are publishing some kind of self-help or project book (i.e. diet, personal growth, career, home improvement, etc.), then this is your month. People are starting off the year thinking about change, and they’re in the market for books to help them.


2. February – Love

As you think about your book release, you want to think about the mood people are typically in the month it comes out. February is obviously the month when Valentine's Day falls, so love is in the air. If you are publishing a cookbook, plenty of people will be looking for ideas for that perfect Valentine dish. Romances and poetry books are also strong releases during this month. A lot of people pop the question on Valentine’s Day, so if your book is wedding-themed, then now’s the time to get it out.


3. March – Spring

Spring is in the air and so is Easter. People are starting to think about that summer garden, which makes gardening books a good release. Easter typically falls in March or early April, and people are looking for inspirational books, religious tie-ins, and picture books to put into Easter baskets.


4. April – Travel

Spring is nearing an end, and so is school. People are starting to think about summer, and more importantly: vacation! April is a good time to publish travel books or books about exotic locales. April is also National Poetry Month, so it's a good time for poetry as well. People are starting to think about their summer reads, so if you are hoping for your book to wind up on someone’s beach blanket, make sure you are thinking about marketing—even if your book won’t be out for two or three months.


5. May – Mom

May publishing is centered around one person: Mom. Yes, people do read and buy other things, but personal memoirs, coffee table books (such as photo books), inspirational romances—or any other book that goes perfect with a bouquet of roses—are all good releases during this month. Cinco de Mayo is also this month, so if your book falls into Chicano literature, then this is the month to release it.

..the remaining details regarding ideal books to consider publishing from June to December (Including the kind of books that perform crazy well in December) is in the Kindle Blueprint

Title and Subtitle

A book’s title is the first extremely important piece of book metadata you’ll be asked to provide. Your book’s title is how your book introduces itself and is part of a reader’s overall first impression of your work. However, coming up with a compelling book title can be arduous work. You’ll want to brainstorm several ideas and then test them with your friends, family, and reader audience before settling on the one that is original, memorable, just enough words, and easy for your readers to say and type for years to come. Here are four guidelines to help you craft a compelling title for your book.

1. Follow the PINC Acronym

PINC was created by Michael Hyatt (former CEO of Thomas Nelson and author of Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World). It stands for Promise, Intrigue, Need, and Content. In essence, your book title should do one of the following four things:

Make a Promise. Your book title can be your promise to your reader—what they will get out of reading your book.
Create Intrigue. Your title can engage your potential reader in a compelling way—drawing them in to learn more.
Identify a Need. Your book title can point out a need in someone’s life. It may be a need they already know they have, or it might be a need they become aware of through reading your title.
State the Content. A book’s title can also simply state the content of the book—letting the reader know exactly what they will learn or receive from reading it.


2. Make Your Book Title Original

Titles cannot be copyrighted in the United States. Therefore, two or more books can have the same title. However, if you use a title that is the same or very similar to another book, it makes it hard for your title to stand out. Be sure to search any potential book title you are considering to make sure your potential title doesn’t already have an insane search volume or a negative connotation on the web in general, and also search it on Amazon to make sure other books don’t have the same title before settling on your final title. Having an original book title helps your book stand out.

While you want your book’s title to be original, it should still match its contents. Whether your book is fiction or nonfiction, the title should reflect what’s inside. Weighty books should not have cheerful titles, and conversely, funny books should not have grave titles.


3. Make Your Book Title Memorable

Creating a memorable title is also important. If your title is too short or too long, people won’t remember it. One- or two-word titles often don’t convey enough information and are harder to remember than titles that make a statement. The book title Sing is actually harder to remember than Sing Your Way to Peace. Titles that are too long can lose a reader’s attention. New studies are showing that attention spans have dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds, so make an impression, but quickly.


4. Optimize for Mobile Reading

Consider that many readers are looking for their next book on their tablets and phones, so make sure your book is mobile-friendly. That means you have to create a book cover and text format that translate to the small screen. Your book title should be no more than 80 characters long to help facilitate easy reading in this format.

yeah you made mention of copying the keywords of best selling books so I'm asking how. How do I maintain the book I publish. At least give free tips

I never said copy keywords of best selling books. I said learn how to find profitable keywords with little competition.

Finding these keywords is half the job.

Once you find these profitable keywords, then you create a high-quality book with a unique selling point (what makes your book different from the rest), great cover, compelling book description etc

With regards to maintaining your book, you need to monitor sales. If it's not selling well you can look to tweek certain things like the description, price, target other backend keywords etc. It can also involve monitoring your ad campaigns to see which ones are doing well and which ones aren't. The ones that aren't doing well, you can split test different variables to try and get it to work etc

You don't just create a book and forget it

TechCapon:
OK thanks. So what about the video

I assume you mean the keyword research video?

The video shows, step-by-step, how I do my keyword research and craft effective book titles/subtitles using the keywords I gathered. It's 35 minutes long and roughly 640MB in size.

The video is free for mentees.

Blueprint owners pay N8000 and others pay N10,000

if not for the fact that your price is too high I would have patronized you. How can I copy their keywords? Ever since I published my book on Amazon, I've not visited the site and I'm already working on the second book

Copy what keyword?

If you build a rental property would you abandon it for spirits to maintain? Ofcuz not. You'll be going there from time to time to check up on it, maintain it, see how the tenants are handling it etc.

Same with books. Although I have over 50 books, I actively maintain all of it. People who make $10,000+ a month don't do it by luck. It requires effort to maintain those assets but the reward is incredible

I know.. I mean just 56 books?!
You must be a guru of some kind o.
If I can make that a month, I'll retire Oloun.

I treat publishing like a business (not a hobby)

If you focus on consistently publishing high-quality books eventually the money you earn will begin to compound

What Are You Investing For? Cash Flow or Capital Gains?

Never underestimate cash flow. Cash is not king; CASHFLOW is king

Let your books become your virtual cashflow machine

Well done sir.
Wanna ask. Like how many books you get in total?

Thanks.

I have 56 books

3 Elements of A Good Book Description

Curiosity:

If your readers have no desire to know what's inside your book, they won't buy


Emotional Appeal:

Logically, people know that in order to achieve a goal, they have to sacrifice. That being said, for your book to sell well, people have to believe your option involves less sacrifice


Urgency:

Why your book? Why purchase it now? Call to action. An example in the dog training niche would be "Every day you're not doing this, you are reinforcing your dog's bad behaviour and that will be terrible for her in the long term. Get this book today"

Congrats, how much is that profit after ads please?

More than 70% profit margin.

If you're looking for inspiration to stick to non-fiction, here it is

August turned out to be a great month for me - broke a lot of personal records namely:

- First time I earned over $12,000 in a month
- First time I earned over $13,000 in a month
- First time I earned over $6000 in a month with just paperback sales
- Most sales made in a single day ($829.72)

Income breakdown is as follows:

- KDP (ebook + KENP): $1753.45
- KDP Paperback: $6004.7
- Audiobook sales: $5725

Total Earnings: $13,483.15 (N4.85 million)

You need focus to achieve your goals...quit dabbling in a LOT of different things but focus on a few key things that work.

Just like Bruce Lee said "I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times"

If you've committed to non-fiction publishing, go ALL IN and avoid any distractions (i.e. low content books/journal publishing, fiction books, affiliate marketing, Amazon FBA, Domain flipping, Blogging, Forex trading, Bet9ja etc.)

Earned $13,483.15 in August
