Wow 25 books on Amazon. That's impressive and so is the $700 sales.. Goals!

You must have good electricity supply and a whole lot of free time and determination.

You also picked a great niche where people buy books. In fiction it's a little different especially for new authors. We will all get there :-)

Where have you been sis?

Actually for like 2 months now, no power (electricity here), yet they bring 10k bill for my flat every month. I think that its determination and well, I make out the time. See the maths.

1. I have 25 books and make guaranteed 5 sales a day.

2. So if I have 50 books, I should make guaranteed 10 sales a day.

3. If I have 100 books, I should make 20 sales a day.

4. If I make guaranteed 20 sales a day...that should net me about $1,500 monthly or more

5. That's the one-year goal.

Though in the last 3 weeks or so, I have made at least 10 sales daily, but you can see my goal. It will not be bad if I take one year to build a business that brings me $1,500 assured income monthly, while I do other things. What do you say?

Bro. Publish your book and then publish more. I keep saying it here. You can never write a perfect book. Dont spend too much time on just one book. Just do a good proofreading work. I have books that are not selling at all. But I have a book that sells 5-6 daily and so on.

Amazon pays with Payoneer. They will pay you even 10 cent that you make after 60 days, e.g, September earning is paid in November, October earning paid in December and November earning paid in Jan and so on.

Actually, we crossed $900 this past Nov. to the glory of God.
Great! I'm working on the second already. Should be done by this time next week.
Can you give me the format for preliminary pages, I mean the table of contents, preface and the likes. I don't even know how make a clickable table of contents. Can you also be kind enough to give me a link or tell me how?
Thanks

Hello Bros 1234 or anyone experienced in KDP publishing. How do you format a picture book in Word for createspace. I formatted one in word and it compressed my pictures reduced the DPI. Before putting them in word, they pictures were 300 DPI meeting the request for createspace. However, after putting them in Word and resizing them, I uploaded the book to createspace and I was told that my pictures are 143 DPI. It means that they won't be uploaded. It means that they won't even be accepted. Any hint please Will be greatly appreciated.

I say that getting that much sales in spite of location, NEPA issues and just LIFE, makes you an inspiration lol. If I can make that much from publishing I will count it a success story. Bravo :-)

1. Preliminary Pages

First Page = BOOK TITLE
Second Page = Copyright Information
Third Page = Contents.
Fifth Page = Introduction

2. To make a clickable TOC, Make sure the headings are formatted with either Heading 1 Or Heading 2

To insert a table of contents, follow these steps:

a. Click an empty paragraph/page where you want to insert the TOC.

b. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Index and Tables/ Table of Contents

c. Then, click Insert Table of Contents.

You can google this or youtube it if you get confused. Thanks

Are you in the US?

If not, you can actually just choose your country of residence and avoid the TIN issue in the TAX form. But that would mean that you will have to drop 30% of Tax from whatever you earn from your US marketplace.

Also getting the TIN can be done in less than 10 mins. Just call them on this line

CALL IRS: (1) 267 941 1000

I am in Nigeria. I called them around 1PM which was around 8AM over there and got the TIN in less than 10 mins. But it doesnt still help if your country does not have a tax treaty with US.

Hi, this thread is not about Payoneer. It's about publishing books on amazon. But I'll try.

I think that means it's been long they sent you your Master Card. By now you are supposed to have received it. If you havent gotten it, check your address and maybe the postal system that get things across to your address. Usually, when you get the card, you are supposed to login and activate the card.

I hope that helps

They sent it the second time still the same thing.

I just registered for another card tonight expecting it to arrive roughly around Jan 4-10th of 2017.

I need your suggestions please.

He can go ahead and start. He won't be able to kuku make any withdrawals earlier than 3 months. So it will be better he starts earlier, so that his money accumulates and matures...

sorry for late response. You will get it within two weeks depending on your location and how you wrote your address.
payoneer charges between$1 and $3 to process your withdrawals when you withdraw from online working sites like fiverr. depending on how fast you want your account to be credited.

and first question? @ bros1234 will do justice to that.
