ambassadorgozie: Most information on Kindle are not revealed to Nigerians because Nigerians are not allowed to access Kindle books. A quick way to access everything on Amazon, especially for title research is to open your chrome browser in "New icognito Window" > type in www,amazon,com in the url > click on "Deliver to Nigeria" at the top left corner > in the dialogue box, type in "10004" as the zip code and click ok. It chages you zip to that of New York. You will then view everything on amazon as a New Yorker. There won't be any restricted views. On a seperate note, everyone doing kdp should do everything within their power to be focused and not to be discourage by initial setbacks or slow pace of progress. This is one of the escape routes from poverty. The economy is not smiling in Nigeria and things will get worse. Do everything within your power to earn USD legitimately in order to survive the current economic realities. Last month was not bad for madam's account, she got $1600 (find image attached). So, i won't be dropping money for her upkeep any time soon. I have been given another account to replicate the same result. I will start that by October 2020. The account made about $52 last month. Let's see how it goes, maybe i will write the progress of this account in the diary section with some tips to help struggling indie authors. 11 Likes 4 Shares

ambitiouschap17: If only you took your time to go through my messages, you would realize i drop tips to help people get traction in the business. A point of correction, i am not in the first ten top earners in Kdp on Nairaland. I am not even in the top 20 earners in Nigeria. People are earning over $20,000 a month, in this country from kdp. But the truth is that i can't start reeling out the name of my titles if that is what you want. Its a trade secret, if you get yours, you work around it. Like coca cola won't tell u their recipe, i can't also tell u my niche. But the truth is, don't reinvent what is working, give the market what it wants and not what you think it wants. For my training, i would really love to teach, but the period is not conducive. I was glad when one of my trainees went past the threshold of N500,000 in July (image attached). This is what i want to see, more youths getting out of poverty. But these period has been really tight and scheduling any training will be difficult as i may not give it the needed attention. Like i said in my previous post, i may schedule one for the first quarter of 2021, God willing. Don't be angry with me, i am sincerely not disposed at the moment. 1 Like

headboyprince: Please Buy the licence. Its an investment. It was the rampant sharing of the licence key by mostly Nigerians and Indians that triggered the recent security update. It was so bad that some Nigerians were hawking publisher rocket Licence key on nairaland. It is an investment, lets learn to do things right in this country for crying out loud. We mustn't destroy every opportunity. Please save up and purchase the Licence from their website and have peace of mind. Thank you. 3 Likes |

damosky12: I use publisher rocket as well as the amazon search bar in incognito mode on Chrome browser. Title research takes time. I could search for a title for a week or two before getting a good one. So its not something you do within a few minutes or hours. 1 Like |

damosky12: A quick tip. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, look for titles already doing well and write your version, plus a proper keyword research and the result will come. Madam is happy the account is stabilizing gradually and it will soon be handed over to the owner while i focus on the other account to take it to $10,000 a month. 2 Likes 1 Share

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Writer Wanted by obamartins(m): 9:44am On Aug 21, 2020 |
I have always been of the opinion that you inform new writers you intend to hire, to submit their jobs one chapter after the other. once you find out the first and second chapters are crappy, you immediately tell them not to bother with the job. Because, once a writer submits the entire job whether it is crappy or not, he or she will demand full pay. I had the opportunity to recruit writers, out of 25 submissions, i was only able to hire two writers. The others did not meet my expectations. 5 Likes |

It safe guards ur account and anything from 88 percent and above uniques, will scale through if you are are using checkerx. in other words, keep plagiarism between 12percent and below. 1 Like |

javaRookie: i don't think its about copywriting. The site is straight forward, they have a huge reader base (writtenwordmedia,com) and you pay them to advertise your book on their webpage on a selected day(s). I did that and the the money spent didn't yield expected result. I have always been a firm believer of organic sales and having an email list. For me, AMS and other paid adverts/marketing requires indepth understanding, else one will just be throwing money away. Its 20th August and my wife's new account isn't doing badly. Considering the fact that its all pure organic sales. (image attached). If i must do ams or paid advert, i am willing to learn from people with better experience and indebt knowledge of how it works and i am ready to pay for the service. 1 Like

RESHARPENED: I responded to a question like this some where on nairaland and here is it below: 120 pages work on A4 is huge. Yeah, publishing as a doc file, amazon will scale the pages down because they pay you $0.004 per page read, but the good thing about uploading in docx file is that all buyers can access all your books irrespective of what device they use. Alternatively, some writers use either 5.5" x 8.5" or 6" x 9" which is smaller than A4 and then covert it to PDF and later .kpf(print replica) using amazon's textbook creator to get more pages. The drawback, however, of using print replica is that buyers with Kindle paperwhite and Kindle Oasis won't be able to purchase your books. When i was using print replica, i got some negative reviews because of that. So i still encourage you upload a well formated docx file even if your book page count is squeezed. You can always depend on paperback sales to make up for the difference. Sorry for the typos. 1 Like |

kayc0: Yeah! The Audacity to succeed in life is the motivating factor. My little advice, in whatever you do, put in all effort to earn USD legitimately and when the lock is over, leave the country. $1 is N472 naira as we speak. Just think about that and put in effort to write books. It may be hard at first, but don't give up. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Antanananovic: 10k word and above is good. One thing u need understand is dont try to invent the wheel. Stick to what is working. How do i mean? Check how others selling similar title on amazon coined theirs, and do something similar without copying theirs verbatim. 1 Like 1 Share |
