I don't know much about Toyotas, but I have common sense. Why do you keep accusing your adjuster when you have replaced it and the sound didn't change? Shouldn't you take your attention to something else?
I'll advise you to make a short video so people can hear for themselves and advise you accordingly.
Having said that, anything driven by your accessory belt can be the culprit.
Not long ago, I had a rattling noise from that belt side on my Honda that ended up coming from my timing chain. So keep an open mind while tracing the sound.

I followed you. I have always wanted to be hands on with cars and learn their in and out through trials and creativity and I find your profile fit the best personality that can guide me. Thanks so much for your contributions.

Thanks a lot for the response. I want to build a brand and with what you've just said, I'm even more convinced that it's possible.

Sir, when running ads, do you manually target keywords or just do it automatically? I'm asking because a lot of us do not have these keyword research softwares. Thank you.

I have only tried automatic ads. I tried up and down and it was money sucking. Down only is slow but give consistent sales at low ACOS. Note: I've already talked about this previously.

Good response, boss.


I'm done with that travel guide but decided to postpone my children's book plan. My next plan is to focus on self help niche and drop like 7 well-written books per series. I'm wondering if $40 will be enough to start advertising on Amazon. I'm tired of giving out my book for free. I might give out just one to help people but I plan to stop doing that.

What do you think?

From my experience, that $40 can give you back $100 from ads excluding organic sales. You just need to be patient when running the ads.

I've not tried giving out books for free. I don't see the point but it works for others so that's that.

Honestly, who even cares if they are racist towards Nigeria, so far you are able to use Pen name, write good books and collect your dollars. Shikena.

I don't even understand the narrative the poster is trying to push actually.

Like how many Nigerians can even afford to buy the books the White are buying sef. If it's non-fiction, majority will rather prefer to read different blog post to get the info they need.

Fiction nko, we will rather prefer to look for the free ebook online.

I feel it's even now that Nigerians are beginning to buy fiction books sef, and it's still in the minority.

Even here on NL, writers will write for free in the literature section, once they put a price tag majority won't be interested again.

Honestly, so far Nigerians are still able to write and upload on Amazon, does not matter if we have to use Pen name or not..

PS: Thank you for always responding to people question here,and I don't think 500 dol is small.

Quick question though, Did you learn kdp yourself or you have a mentor, You answered someone while back that you started last year.

I've bought at least two courses and have had at least two mentors. So I didn't learn myself.

Amazon isn't rascist as far as I can tell. They give us the opportunity but trust Nigerians and shortcuts and ruining everything for others.

Guys should go to Twitter and see Nigerians -- living in Nigeria -- doing $5k+ monthly conveniently. Check ife of ifeva group. In fact, they are plenty.

Africans, and Nigerians in particular, are doing okay on kdp. There are many white authors who can't even boast of 10k monthly. Evidence dey.

And before you come for me, I just started like the rest here and I've already crossed $500. That may be a pittance but it supplements my other income streams nicely...

I was thinking it's erotica books, and your reasons were religious reasons.

Don't know how saturated or profitable such erotica niches are.


Please again, what do you say about it?

I don't have aby experience with fiction. Those who have dabbled say it's extremely competitive but you can try.

Thank you so much

One more question on my mind. Especially for you and evb2000

Do you think AI will replace KDP Authors in the future? I plan to do this for as long as I can. But I've been wondering if AI will destroy the business in like 4-5 years. Because I have the feeling that if AI becomes good enough, people will just generate their books with AI instead of buying from KDP.

As experts what do you think?

I have no doubt that AI cannot replace writers, at least, with what I'm seeing now. My opinion may change later.

And I'm not an expert.

Thank you so much. I will start now. Can you explain the product page placement again? Does it mean I will create another ad for product placement or it's a tool that's a part of the former ad?

Product placement is simply trying to appear in other books page. When you click any paperback book, scroll below and you'll see sponsored and a list of books below. Those books are being advertised and are showing there using product placement. It might need a video to illustrate it. But once you start, you should get it.

Please what are your reasons for not touching some niches?

And please can you give examples of such niches

Niches that require images to accompany points I'm trying to make. Example is interior design. I like niche that don't require pictures too much.

Boss, will $100 be enough for 3 months worth of ADS?

Also assuming I don't do ads and I have a good number of books (let's say 20 books). Can they be generating $100 at least a month.

I want my books to generate the money for their ads themselves.

I don't want to touch the Amazon money now, I just want something I will build with time till i finish school.

So my plan Is to publish books, a lot of quality books. Maybe 20 books by December. Then if they can start generating something tangible ($100 per month). I will divert the money into ADS.


20 books can generate $100 if your keyword research is on point. Even less can generate that. Just make sure you do your research.

I usually use $5 daily budget and that can last for a week or so. Your ad budget depends on your strategy though. Some can exhaust $100 in a day and others may not spend up to that in a month. Test. And go with what works for you.

Hey boss,

I would really love to learn more about ads. I have written several books but I don't make so much. Do you mind giving some tips on the ads? I tried it at a point but I wasn't getting any result.

Before creating ads, make sure your cover is great. That's what will get you clicks.

You can start with auto ads as they can give you fast results and not too complicated.

Next, use "Down Only" bidding strategy to prevent overspending.

You can start with 0.16. Bid. If you're not getting impressions, increase gradually, such as .02 increments until you start getting impressions. Clicks will come then.

Once you start getting clicks, you need to optimize. This can get complicated. But try and sew where you're getting sales by checking placement under your campaign. I'll recommend increasing "product page" placement. You can start with 20% and keep increasing depending on your results.

Hi. Please what range of BSR do you target? I know years ago, it should be within the range of 50k or a Lil bit higher. Just wondering if this still the same, or it has increased since there are more books on kdp

Hi,

I don't particularly follow BSR much because the competition is extreme now.

What I use BSR for is to determine demand in the niche. If there is demand (at least three books with low bsr) I'll go into the niche and prop my book up with ads.

That's not to say there are not niches where you can thrive without ads. There are plenty. But I don't touch some niches for personal reasons.

Boss, what do you think of children's book? I plan to illustrate it myself in a 'manual' way.

They are profitable if you can get the illustration well. It's that part that keeps me from writing them.

Wow! By moredo you mean up to 20k words?

Also how do you know if a competition demands more?

Not up to 20k. More like 15k.

For example, I may create a 100 page book and price at 8.99. If it sells well, I'll look at the top two books in the niche. In most cases, they'll be priced at 12.99 and above. If they both have like 150 pages or do, I may bump my to like 120 pages and price at 9.99 or 10.99. This is how I personally do it.
