Hello house

How lucrative is publishing low/no content books... Cos i read somewhere that people makes money with it too..

The word "lucrative" can not be generalized since it does not apply to everyone publishing (low/no content nor high content) books on Amazon and this also applies to every business endeavor out there.

You only become profitable (lucrative) when you commit to learning and applying what you have learned and remain consistent while still learning and improving on a daily basis until you master all the nuances of the business. It is a marathon and not a sprint.

Having stated the above, I opted for publishing nonfiction books with a minimum of 30,000 word's since it has a higher royalty payout compared to low/no content books and it also generates 4 income stream (eBook, Paperback, Hardcover and Audible) from just one book which you don't get with low/no content books.

Low/no content book publishing is also a game of number's since you will have to publish multiple low/no content books to make lots of money due to the small royalty payout per sale but with high content books, you just need a few books to make much more money on Amazon since the royalty generated per sale is much higher and dwarfs that of low/no content books.

Finally, it all depends on one's preferences and commitments towards learning and growing.

This is my personal opinion based on my experience as a self-published author that has published both low content and high content books on Amazon.

All the best.

okay thanks.

byrron:


That's correct.

I deliberately priced the course at that ridiculously low price for now so my growing YouTube channel subscribers can get the course and I will be raising the price to $300 by the end of January 2022 and $500 by April 2022.

Okay, good job man.

I was wondering if I can pay you the equivalent in naira. At the moment I do not have a means of paying in foreign currency. I would be glad if you would do. Cheers

Sorry for the belated response which is due to differences in time zones.

You don't have to pay in foreign currency, you can pay with your Nigerian debt ATM card and it will charge you the equivalent.

Thanks.

just two? That's too small man, I started low content book publishing around October this year, I have published close to 50 books already, and I've gotten around 350$.

You need to publish more books bro, any keyword you get try to publish more than 3 books there( that's what I do), you don't know the one that will sell.

Out of my 50 books, is only 10 that's selling

who writes your books. how much do you pay for the 30k words.

mocipe:


who writes your books. how much do you pay for the 30k words.

I personally groomed my writer to write exactly how my book should be written and it took weeks to get him to that level.

I'm involved and ensure that each chapter meets my expectations before proceeding to the next chapter.

I found my writer from upwork and he is a Nigerian. I gave him my terms before we proceeded.

Ghostwriters here in the United State's takes a minimum of a $1400 to write a 30k word book and my Nigerian Ghostwriter gave me a bill of $200 but I opted to pay him $400 and he was a complete novice but i saw the potentials in him and decided to help horn his writing skills and he did proved me right with his ability to learn.

I also saw cheaper writers both from Nigeria, Philippines, Kenya, Australia and Pakistan but I decided to stick with the guy I have invested lots of time on teaching him my expectations.

I literally wrote my first book even though i paid him as my Ghostwriter but his manuscript was full of flaws and I had to patiently and painstakingly showed him all the flaws and showed him the new manuscript i created and he was surprised i didn't ask for a refund.

He has invested lots of time on himself learning and he is super-good now.

You are in for the money but putting your customers first.
I style of writing shows you can write well if you so desire as you have even pointed that you did after discarding what your writer wrote.
May I ask, what are the things a chapter should contain.

Prioritizing your customer needs has a long term positive effects and failing to do so is a recipe for disaster since your book will end up getting bad reviews from the same customers.

A thoroughly researched problem solving table of contents is the blue print of what your chapter's should contain.

I created a well detailed course with 22 video lessons that provides a step_by-step guide on how to become a successful and profitable self-published author on Amazon.

The course is laden with result oriented strategies that are known by a few publishers which is also the strategy I use in publishing all my books.

Can I pay for your course directly through Payoneer?

I guess if you have a payoneer Mastercard then you should be able to pay for the course or with a Nigerian bank issued ATM card.

Hi, what do you think is the way out if your KDP account is terminated...due to some mistakes I made.

Can I open another account (which i learnt is against Amazon policy).

- Now, I have a Payoneer account, which I have never used for KDP before, but even if I try, it's going to be the same name and stuff; which I'm afraid they will still find out. Before the ban, I use my UK bank account (which I opened when I was therefore briefly), and I guess I cant use now because it will be easily detected as the same person.

Please what do you think is the way out?

By the way, I'm going through your course now, and I think there's a lot of good stuff in there. Cheers.

Once your Amazon account is terminated, you can't retrieve it back but you can appeal their decision and back it up with evidences that validates your appeal and hope they reconsider their decision which is completely at their own discretion.

If your account was terminated based on violating their TOS (terms of service) then you're done.

You can't create a new account with the same informations and name you used on the terminated account except you're using a different name with documents that matches with the new name.

This info is to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for purchasing the course, and you will definitely derive lot's of value from it.

You have a life time access along with new updates as well.

Feel free to use the "contact instructor' section inside the course and reachout to me with any question you need clarity on and I will definitely respond as quickly as possible.

Thanks.

1. Logging into my KDP account from two different devices
2. Having another account with same details (which ironically was an oversight on my path as I dont use it)
3. One of my books didnt go down well with the review team

Number 1&3 won't lead to a termination of your account except if number 3 was a copyright infringement or a plagiarized book or had contents and unverifiable claims and even images that are in contrast with what is allowed on KDP and it would have come with a warning but again, Amazon reserves the right to do as it pleases.

Number 2 is obviously the main reason for your account termination. Duplicity of KDP accounts is a recipe for account termination.

Extracts of paragraph 4.2 of Amazon's Terms and conditions

4.2 "Account Information; No Multiple Accounts. You must ensure that all information you provide in connection with establishing your Program account, such as your name, address and email, is accurate when you provided it, and you must keep it up to date as long as you use the Program.

You may maintain only one account at a time. If we terminate your account, you will not establish a new account.

You will not use false identities or impersonate any other person or use a username or password you are not authorized to use.

You authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider appropriate to verify account information you provide. You also consent to us sending you emails relating to the Program and other publishing opportunities from time to time".

If You had contacted KDP immediately and explain to them your mistake and then ask them to merge your books from one account to the another, so you can close the second account, they would have granted your request but since they found this out by themselves then it is an automatic account termination.

Amazon will terminate KDP accounts of same family members even though their names are different but are using the same IP.

Amazon KDP expects one account to one IP, it must not be shared.

A student of mine from Denmark learned the hard way after his KDP account and that of his sister got terminated for using same IP (WIFI) even though they were operating differently.

Lot's of publisher's have had their KDP accounts terminated for little things that are considered a violation of Amazon's TOS.

I hope you're able to find a way around this and start publishing on Amazon again.

KDP is known for being very harsh on this matter when it comes to terminating accounts with or without warnings, therefore anyone intending to go into self publishing on Amazon should learn from this unpleasant experience.

Good day all, please I need the advice of our senior men here . I wrote 2 books which I published on amazon last year July, till date I have made only 5 usd in sales from both books . Even the 5 usd can't be withdrawn cos payoneer says it's lower than the minimum for withdrawal...bosses in the house ,please how do I get more sales for this my books ...thanks

I even abandoned the whole project ,only for me to get notification in my email saying that I made sales last month and this month . Seeing the sales made me realise that good money can actually be made if I write more books . The question now is what do I write on that can generate sales . Thanks

If you published just 2 low/no content books then you are only scratching the surface. You need to create more low/no content books since it is a game of number's.

If the 2 published books are high content books and it only generated $5 in royalties then you need to do some work to resurrect your books from the publishing grave.

I: Look at your book title and see if it is captivating and addresses a problem with buyer's search words.

2: How appealing is your book cover? Attractive or boring?

3: Take a look at your book description. I always advice to go with bullet points.

4: Are your 7 backends keywords relevant to your book and are they highly competitive keywords? If they're then you stand no chance of competing organically with books with more reviews on same niche.

5: Running Amazon ads is highly recommended using the "phrase and exact" type match in other to make your ads more targeted and cost effective.

Cheers & Best of Luck

There are more than a million things to write about and there are myriad's of ways to find what to write about. Learning how to publish and be profitable is key.
