HeliosHay:
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.

Good day HeliosHay
Two of the several beneficiaries of this thread called my attention to your recently reinforced and incessant push to sell your mentorship and other services on this thread.
I can see you have been answering questions and providing some useful information. I also have seen that you have answers to any question or challenge thrown at you about the sincerity of your intentions (by people who suspect that you are a scammer).

However, you have continuously littered almost every page of this thread From February 11th, practically begging people to pay for your mentorship and other services.

The purpose of starting this thread, started in 2013, was not to make money. It was is to reveal what I discovered about KDP which later evolved to online publishing and build a community of successful Nigerian online publishers. The one on training and DVD of publishing materials that people pay me for started after many people requested that I make them available and they will pay. I have not and will not advertise these or any services. It takes a lot of my time and is a great distraction to the increasing targets of my publishing business.

Many people have had great financial growth through this thread (I am talking of substantial regular monthly income, cars bought and houses built). Some of them did not even pay me or any other person one kobo. We want to maintain the spirit of this thread by keeping it non-commercial.

Please, take your mentorship and other services to your own thread, build your followership and get the “customers” you seem to be in dire need of. We don’t want it here. Stop littering this thread with your adverts for mentorship and other services.

I believe if you truly are making the amount of money shown on the screenshots you posted; you will not be here begging people night and day to pay for your mentorship. I had to double the fee for my one-on-one training to discourage people from coming because of the burden of providing support for the large community of people that I have trained.

I stopped commenting on this thread regularly because I saw that we now have a good number of people capable of providing answers to the questions of new entrants into the business although I still answer all requests through email. It’s unfortunate that you see it as an opportunity to make money.

Again, take your mentorship and other services to your own thread, build your followership and get the “customers” you seem to be in dire need of. We don’t want it here. Stop littering this thread with your adverts for mentorship and other services.
Thank you.

Hello. Two more questions pls.
1. Is it possible to change payoneer bank details in kindle? My payoneer is not verified but i used the bank details there. Hope they wont freeze the money is it enters?
2. Is the 'How to' niches worth writing for?
Thanks in advance.

1. You can change bank details on Amazon any time.
2. Payoneer will not freeze your money. They'll just not allow you to withdraw until you upload an approved ID.
3. Whether "how to" or any title, it's only worth it if it satisfies the keyword research conditions.Check page 9 or 10 of this thread.

PuZZyNegro:
Bros do you have more information on this topic?

I'm really interested in knowing more. I tend to like Matrix exterior than corolla but corolla seems to have more balance on the ground

I'm considering 2007 model of either cars

Everything I wrote above is from practical experience. I don't think Corolla has more balance. I've driven Matrix on up to 5 hour inter-state journeys on good and bad roads, sometimes speeding up to 130-140km/hour and the car still maintains its balance. Buy the matrix. You will never regret it.

Pls my brother needs help,he is getting his first car but stucked between this two ..kindly advice on the pros and cons of getting either of the two and which shud he go for.thanks

The matrix is a very practical Toyota car. Its main advantage over the Corolla is cargo space and it doesn't attract robbers/thieves. It's a good way to have a car that looks sporty and somehow like a mini SUV. I wish they didn't stop its production.
The 2 back seats and passenger front seat fold flat to give you enormous cargo space. You can use it to carry generators, bathtubs even doors and other long materials with ease. Reliability is equal with the Corolla and it will serve you well.

Good morning everyone.

I have two questions seriously bothering here.
First is how can I remove the 30% tax on my royalty payments. I learnt that it possible but don't know how.

Mk82
AncientTimes
Everyone

Nigeria does not have a tax treaty with the USA.
If you are a Nigerian living in Nigeria, you have to pay the 30% withholding tax. Any method for removing it uses fraudulent deception which I don't subscribe to. We have been paying the 30% for several years and we're still doing very well.

Good morning sir, how is and business book publishing so far.

I am on createspace. which site among them creastespace, lulu, draft2digital brings more sales. createspace sent me a mail they are closing/merging to amazon kdp. it is sad because I think competition is too stiff on kdp. I am right or just being paranoid?

Thanks and God bless.

Good morning, it's easier to make sales on draft2digital followed by createspace. Kindle is the toughest now. I don't publish on Lulu. I am also not too pleased with the merger of createspace and kdp because I get most of my sales from createspace. However, since we have no say in the decision, we will make the most of it. Who knows, it may even be better for us.

Hello mk82 , I came across a post where you discussed a normal kindle page being between 200 - 250 words. Please, can you help me with the estimate of kindle recipe books?

Page count doesn't really matter in cookbooks or other types of recipe books. What matters is the number of recipes. Just focus on getting enough recipes to compete with the best books under that keyword. And write a good introduction.

Beautiful soul you are and a wonderful thread you got here.

Actually got here from trying to get more info on self publishing on amazon.

Got a story to tell on my siggy you may want to check it out some and tell me what and how you think it'll be received.

I had read somewhere online that Amazon withholds a total 60% royalties for non US publishers?

thanks bro and God bless

Hi Gaby,
I went through your story and it's interesting. I can't make any promises but it should bring in reasonable sales with proper positioning and marketing. Send a message to the email on my signature and we'll take it from there.

So I was wondering. Does your book have to be 100% plagiarism free after using a plagiarism scanner? Or us there a safe percentage level it should not exceed?

It appears there will always be similarity with what you wrote and something somewhere on the net

100% is what you should aim for. I use premium copyscape and test and correct until it says "no results found". The only exception I know are Bible verses and maybe verbatim quotes. Amazon keeps hunting down plagiarized books and many people have lost their accounts. Again, apart from using a plagiarism checker, you shouldn't just copy someones book and rewrite. Your material should come from several sources and thoroughly mixed up.

Please I want to know how long it will take before I get my first payment from kindle. I have reached $100. Thanks again

Do you have a Payoneer account and have you added the bank account details to your kindle account? If yes, there is no minimum payment amount. You will be paid 60 days from the end of the month you made the sale. January sales are paid by end of March, February sales end of April and so on.

Thanks for your analysis. However, I have great covers. I did number 1 very well. I may be guilty of number 2 but does the quantity really matter or the quality? Quality is great. I do proper content research before writing but my lowest number of pages is 51 so far. I pass number 3 cuz I ensure that my keywords reflect the synonyms of my title and subtitle. Number 5: I am into health niche.

In all ,thanks for your awesome comment.

Let me add a few things to those points:
1. Proper keyword research also includes discarding keywords where too little money is chasing too many books.
2. Quality and quantity matter a lot. These days the quality barrier is higher. Apart from providing quality content, also check the average number of pages of the best books under your keyword and try to be close to them.
3. In titles and subtitles, we don't use synonyms for keywords. We use keywords provided by the amazon search engine with very very little deviation. When you are expert in this skill, you will practically "own" some keywords. Your book will pop up any time those phrases are typed into the amazon search box and will later extend to Google.
5. To make it in the health & fitness category, switch to books with mainly recipes and little talk. Don't write a health book with long stories. Choose keywords where the solution lies in eating a particular type of food. Write an introduction to talk about the diet then provide several excellent recipes.

I started writing 1 September,2017. I have published 4 books so far. I am about to publish my 5th book but no single sale yet. This is getting me discouraged. mk82

Although I haven't seen your books but I can make a few guesses.
1. You didn't do proper keyword research.
2. Your content quality and quantity is low for the keyword or niche.
3. Your title and subtitle don't reflect the keyword.
4. Your cover is not professional enough.
5. You chose a very tough niche or a niche with celebrity authors or established professionals.
...and more.
If you take care of the above points then spread your net wider by publishing on draft2digital and createspace.

Hi,

I don't know if I'm right. It seems one will be automatically log out of kdp select after 3 months.

Do you have idea how many pages of MS word doc double-spaced will produce 200 pages of kdp?

1. Wrong. Rather, Kdp select re-enrolls your book automatically. You have to manually untick the enroll button.
2. It's roughly 200 - 250 words per page for books that are mainly text so you need about 40k to 50k words. For cookbooks and picture books the counting is done differently.

Some bestsellers have 60 - 100 pages. It all depends on the niche. Always check the books you want to compete with.

Also, is it advisable to publish a book already on Amazon on Okadabooks?

Yes, books sell more in winter. The peak of the season is November to February. The lowest point is summer.
To publish a book on another eBook publishing platform just ensure it is not enrolled in Kdp select.
