Cheers.
But how do I get the reviews?

byrron:


I publish 35,000 word non-fiction books. I then run a 2 week free promotion of the book with my book as a lead magnet with an opt-in page that captures their email first before sending then to the link to download my book.

I follow up with my prospects by sending the review link of my publushed book in Amazon for them to write an honest review about the book.

Some do write and some don't but the reviews makes you stand out and also attracts more prospects.

As someone that has also worked in one of Amazon's fulfillment center some years ago here in the U.S, I know that Amazon tends to give more visibility to product's with more reviews since it also makes them money.

I start running ads on my book once i get 5 reviews.

After the 2 weeks of my free promotion, I now go back to my account and put a price on my ebook, and then upload my paperback with a price higher than the ebook and after a month i upload the audio version on Audible with a price higher than the paperback.

With this strategy, your book will be generating 3 different incomes from 3 different sources, namely kindle ebook version, paperback and ACX (audible).

This is a strategy I learned from a mentor that is a 6 figures monthly earner in KDP and it wasn't for free, it did cost me $1400 which is what i used my Covid-19 stimulus check from Biden for. I invested on knowledge acquisition which i have been doing for so many years.

Anyone can publish a book on Amazon but being profitable as an independent self-publisher is a skill set that needs to be aquired.

I don't intend to go into so much detail in other not to derail the intent and purpose of this thread, I was only answering your question and then shared a little info on what i do.

Wishing you the very best.

Thanks for this information, I've subscribed to your YouTube channel.

Hello house.
I've been putting a lot of time and effort into this kdp business, despite still being a student.
And my hard work has started paying off, as I have started making small sales.
The money from my first few sales was paid to my payoneer account, but others after it have not.

Trying to uncover the problem, I logged in to my payoneer account and they told me to provide some info, (bank statement and government issued ID photo) even though my payoneer acct has been verified in the past.

Honestly I am confused, so I want to ask.

Pls I want to ask
Is my money safe?
How can I get a color copy of government issued id and a bank statement which I will upload to payoneer website?

Would I get a bank statement even though I am just a 19 year old broke student?

Thanks in advance.

eliok:
my brother, leave age issue here.
Answer payoneer as. Fast as you can so they don't block the account.

You can use voters card plastic one from inec.

Go to bank and tell them to print your bank statement. It may cost 500 naira.

Alternatively , use the e-statement they send to email every month.
Just add your address to it if it's not there. This is free.

webhead:
Thanks Boss.

The problem is, I don't have voters card. I only have an nin (ID) card (Paper version) which is just black and white. The plastic one isn't out yet.

About the bank statement–would I still get one even if I haven't made any transaction with the bank since the last 90 days??
The acct sef is almost empty.
Sorry If my questions seem weird.
Thanks in advance.

eliok:
my brother, banks send bank statement by email every month .
It's doesn't depend on whether you made transaction or not.

But ask your bank.

For the idcard, you can't use paper version.
If they block the account, you have to get an idcard b4 open another.


Atleast a driver's license.

Check federal road safety in your state or ask any driver.

Sorry if you didn't make it

webhead:

Thank you very much.
My dad has a driver's license/plastic voters card.
which doesn't bear the same name I used to register my payoneer account.
Will that be a problem?
Or should I just open another payoneer account with my dad's details?

JerkyChan:


This means a lot. Thank you

byrron:


Why haven't you been doing so since that makes you more money and uploading on ACX makes you much more.

Emceecee:


like i said, just recently started seeing it. i remember seeing some books with options for hardcover but i never saw any tutorial on it. Do i like have to adjust the book cover size or something? i don't even know how to do acx.
Sorry for the late reply

byrron:


ACX is the audio version of your book. You pay a Narrator that reads your book and record's the reading out of your book from beginning to the end and then hand you the file which you upload on Audible.com

Some readers prefers to listen to the audio and it has a higher commission depending on how long your book is.

The sweet spot is having a 30,000 words book which is about 3 hours when narrated.

Hope this provides you with some clarity.

Grupo:


Nigerians are not allowed on ACX yet. Do you know any way to work around this?

byrron:


OMG, this is news to me.
Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to work around this for those back home in Nigeria.

Grupo:


No wahala. What's niches do you currently write in? Hope you don't mind answering.

byrron:

I'm on the parenting niche and I make my books around it.
Just gave you an expo abi

Grupo:


Wow. You just did! Haha.

yaaayyy.. let me follow you first. Because I am done writing a book (fiction) and typing it presently. My honest intention is to publish it on kdp and to make money.. at a time I even considered publishing on okadabooks sef. I am so confused

TheGoodJoe:

Meedon:
Please house, can I change dollars to naira at CBN branch in my state?


I was made to understand that I can't find BDC guys in my state. I don't know what to do and I need this money in naira like this.


Or is there any suggestions.


Waiting for all your replies. Thanks.

Grupo:


There is no state in Nigeria where you will no find BDC people, especially in the state capital.

JerkyChan:
I don’t know if this thread is still active. I first heard about KDP in 2018 but didn’t take it serious, until I started following it in July and read up to page 166 then, and decided to take action based on the knowledge gained from the thread.


I published my first book on August 1. So after a month, this is my progress so far.



Estimated royalties was $157....keeping my fingers crossed.
