@twosquare, yeah I agree it isn't a MUST for one to be skilled in graphics but for me, I feel it's better. That way, you get to cut costs when the cover isn't too complex. It's just my opinion, strictly mine. There are times one may need the services of a skilled designer but for that book cover I saw, the designer isn't a pro. Anyways, what do I know?

Bestlyf:
Yes, you can.

mk82:

I know someone who published about 90 books in 6 months and they are all quality books. That is almost 4 books per week.
It is possible if you have the knowledge, practice time, the required writing/editing skills and the correct strategy.
You also need a lot of cash and a good team of freelance writers.

I posted a cover design I did a few days ago and asked for opinions about it. Please u guys shld let me know what u think about it na?

Gotta warn you, my opinion has never been pretty.
if you can't take a harsh critique, it is better you don't read ooo...



THE GOOD...


It is a good thing that you were just flexing your design skills.




THE BAD...


It is Kindle Direct Publishing not kindle Publishing. This distinction is VERY important.

Your pen name sucks.
No one(referring to customers of your book such as expert indie publishers as well as the newbies who will know it is a pen name) will take a name such as Dr. Randy Donaldson seriously.

Dude, Randy = rake.
Americans have a corrupt mind, they would be too busy laughing at the pen name to take you seriously.
Use the name if you instead selling something of an e.r.o.t.i.c nature.

If you want to know more about pen names,I have given link on kindle crusher.
Better still, ask mk82 for advice.


subtitle
Huge income is too vague...
How can you say MILLIONS, then contradict yourself by writing HUGE INCOME?
Be specific.
For instance:
Kindle Cash Generator: How I make $1000 a month with KDP.



THE UGLY...

The title is misleading and incorrect.
The last I checked there was only one person who hit the millon dollar mark in KDP and it was John Locke.
But after taxes, and other expenses, it was no longer in millionssmiley.
In other words, Millions in KDP ONLY is unheard of.
Else it would be news.

The cover art is too bland. It looks more like a poster
than an ebook cover.
The unprofessional fonts you used mismatch and does not provide a contrast.


Try reducing the pic to a thumbnail size.
What did you see?
Me? I just saw blue.


SUMMARY.
Change the pen name
change the title and subtitle.
Resdeign the cover and make it more sensual.

Harsh? That just the way I roll...

Happy Publishing!

Nigeria is included ooooooooooooooooooo! I added my bank account yesterday and within 16 minutes, I got a mail informing me my account had been added.

Please go ahead and make that transfer to your Nigerian bank account.

You can only add 3 bank accounts. Minimum withdrawal is $200 and maximum is $10,000.

In addition to what ecommerce has said, you need to have your Payoneer card with you to do this. You will be required to enter the following:
1. Full card number
2. Card security code (called Card Verification Value - C V V). It's the last 3 digits at the back of your card
3. Date of birth and
4. Payoneer account password

From there, the page to enter your account details will open. Before then, make sure you have these ready:
1.SWIFT CODE of your bank: usually consists of atleast 8 characters. This code is used to effect funds transfer.
2. Branch address: the address of the bank where your account was opened
3. Account name
4. Account number

You can get the first two online. Just google it (I did just that). Click finish and wait to be notified of your account addition approval.

Lol Sarahn. Your criticism could make a straying dog retrace its steps back home grin

I didn't actually put much thinking into making the title and subtitle sound logically right. Maybe I just wanted to make some exciting and outrageous headlines, like a typical info marketer putting out bait lines to make some good sales.

Yes, the pen name doesn't sound professional like you said. That's also becos I didn't put much thinking or research into it. Just some random picks.

However, I would say bland isn't bad. I think the three major features of a cover are; sharp or bold background color, bold fronts to convey the message easily and an appropriate image to represent what the title is talking about.

Thanks for taking out time to express your thoughts. Appreciate.

hehehehehehe...I feel both una pain and if you want to sell, the price must be reasonable, yet both amazon share and US tax will eat up the royalties...unlike we that writes poetry and don't sell much like you fiction writers. And I don't think UK have a firm like Amazon Kindle, just as Kobo belongs to the Canadian economy. The thing tire me sef, to be sincere and payoneer works mostly with US companies, na another protocol to receive ETF from european companies.

On the other hand, does UK have a tax treaty with Nigeria?

RESEARCH: METHOD TO NARROW DOWN
A NICHE
-Go to Google, type Amazon bestsellers.
Click on the amazon bestseller's link
-At amazon bestsellers, click on kindle store on the left side (do not use d search box at d top)
-at kindle store, click on kindle ebooks below it
-under kindle ebooks, u will see many categories. click on anyone dat u want and it will open subcategories. choose any
subcategory and click until their is no more subs.
- At this point, start checking the 100 books that are listed for dat sub-subcategory.

The RESEARCH steps are still very valid.
What I can add is that you should check "Hot New Release" and "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" for additional ideas. They can be useful sometimes.
