@obamartins and other bosses in the house 🙌🏿, I wish I can get just one profitable title from any of you.
Profitable topic in the Pic attached.

Amazon.com > new releases > travel guides > united states > Alaska.

Now I've given you fish and also how to fish.

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.

How many words are you high content?
They are around 10k to 12k words now.

dreamxhaser:
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.

Hello!

Please do you publish low or high-content books?

Like what is the average word count of your books?
I only publish high content. When I first started, I try to publish 20k+ word books. Unfortunately, it was not sustainable. First, it requires a lot of effort for each. Second, some of then end up not selling well. Third, and this is the biggest, the printing cost is way higher and reduces my profit. So I start targeting 8k to 12k words now for around 100 pages.

Note: I'll write more if competition demands it. So keep that in mind.

Excellent tips, boss. I followed you in case you want to drop more tips, thanks alot. I'm going to try to write on phone and edit, format, and publish with my phone. The reason it's hard and frustrating for me is due to my low capacity of my phone — it's just 1 GB ram so it lags a lot.

By the way I assume that when you add more contents, you edit the cover with 'edited version ' or there's no need for that?
When I edit this way, I don't touch the cover. If I get a negative review about something in the content and I change that, then I'll edit the cover with 'edited version' so new readers can see the error is no longer there... I followed back.

Wow, thanks alot boss. I'm really surprised you said "50+ pages" when I actually stress myself trying to hit 20k to 30k words.
I used to do that when I first started. But go to the best sellers list, you'll see books with very low bsr having like 100-160 pages. And that is around 15k words or so. So I started targeting between 8k to 12k to publish first.

This is what I do. I have a full table of content for each book. After I get to like 100 pages and there are still topics to cover, I put them aside and publish first. If the book starts ranking and is selling well, I go back and add what I can. This way, I can finish a book in two weeks or a month max. I've found this is easier for me than spending two months on a book.

Some books will flop. No way around it. (This is for us newbies). So I try to minimize my effort on such books.

This is impressive. I have been doing this but lack of power supply has frustrated me. I only have three books and sold just 2 paperback sales. So, I can even start running ads with as low as $10? Do you mind telling us the niches? It's okay if you don't want to, I understand.
Learn how to edit and write on your phone. It'll be hard but when you don't have a choice, you have to use the available resources.

As for ads, you can set as little as $5 as daily budget but you can't exhaust it. I suggest starting with 0.10 as your bid. Increase if you're not getting impressions. I started with 0.15 and I still get sales.

I learn kdp is a numbers game, except of course, if you have big bucks for a launch plan and continous advert. So try and publish more by all means, but make it quality. I gun for 50+ pages. I've found the travel niche to be the easiest to make sales. But it is very difficult to write a travel guide well, especially since you won't be visiting most of the locations.

Wow! Do you use any software like publisher rocket and what kpnd of books do you publish?
I do look into publisher rocket but I don't trust their data. So, I do all my research on Amazon.

I publish high content books.

I also run ads and have spent $31 this month.

Hello guys
I published my book in D2D by they delisted it.
Does it mean that Draft2Digital does not accept Nigerian publishershuh
You can also publish in kobo writing life. However, it's more geared towards fiction but you can still get trickles of sales with non-fiction.

Morning sir,
if most of the water comes from the road (where the man stood to take the pics), then construct a gutter (about 600mm deep) on this side of the building we're seeing and channel the water into a shallow well (dig a well, of about 3 rings on the left side).

This should solve the problem.

IF the water comes from the right also, then repeat on that side too (ditto for the four sides).

Keep me updated.

Goodluck
This is merely an appreciation post. You have not helped me directly but I find value in your posts. Thank you.

MeineMutter:
Thank God you are buttressing my point. People don’t know the reason why TOWER is expensive in Nigeria. It is because of cost of manufacturing, locally.

It is cheaper to import and sell those thick ones than locally made ones.
Just get an experienced fabricator. That’s all.

I read somewhere here that this practice should not be tried on wiring. The more better way to tackle that is to let the electricians give you their quotations and mention the exact type you must buy. After this, go out there to authorized dealer or even directly from factory and buy.
Must an installer buy materials for me?

More so, our c.ut-throat artisans are waiting to bamboos you with their gimmicks on how to scrape your head.

Truly, fishes eat fishes. Nigeria is a damn jungle.
A few months ago, I was researching cement board to use for Exterior ceiling and was seeing 12k per one. I was still thinking about it. Then today, the Carpenter that wanted to do it for me said it costs 30k per one. Haa, from 12k? I later told him that's not the price that I've seen it elsewhere.

The lesson is, even if you're not buying yourself, nothing stops you from researching and knowing the price yourself in the market. Then when you get a quote, you'll be able to quantify it.

Mind you, this is for those who want to do DIY.

Can engineers in the house here please help me confirm if this is a good quotation for a 3 unit of 2 bedroom flat after the 1st stage electrical (Piping and Conduit boxes) has been done?
Thanks in advance.
Although I don't know your location or what you want to use inside or if it's an engineer supervising for you, but I got a quote of 400k (complete with workmanship) for wiring 3 bedroom with visitors room. I'm supervising myself.

For this issue, I'll be plain to you. It's not something you will be calling customer support for through phone.

If you have time, go to the office. But first, since you have upgraded the new account to tier 3, you will then get an affidavit stating that you're the owner of the lost sim card and due to the fact that you cannot retrieve the line, you wish for Opay to transfer the funds (both balance and savings) to the new account.

And I hope that it was the same BVN and ID card you used for the first one it's still the same you used to register the new account?

When you get the affidavit, you will then send through your Opay verified email to the email address I posted before

Thanks again for your help. I went to their office today and I was asked to come back with some documents. I saw nepa bill there, which isn't easy for me to get. Is it possible to use bank statement in place of this, since both can be used for address verification?

Unfortunately, I didn't use bvn and Id whe. I opened the account then. I was using it to pay for opay ride then and it was before the arrival of bvn.

As you adviced, I'll go to their office and msg you for the affidavit format.

Bro I have a similar problem with opay. I sent some fund to an old opay account of mine mistakenly instead of a new one. I can't get the sim for the old account again and retrieval isn't possible too. I've called customer care and was asked to upgrade to level 3. I've done that. What do I do after that to get the money? Thanks.
