Like I said Sir, this mentorship is not for everyone. I myself invested substantially to learn the ropes and I made over $10,000/month In November, December and just this January (from kindle, paperback and audiobook sales combined).

I value my experience and knowledge at that price and its perfectly ok if you disagree.

If someone came to me 2 years ago and asked that I pay N250k for an opportunity that has now made me over N18m in 2 years..I would take it. But that's me.

For those running a kindle publishing business from Nigeria, how do you pay virtual assiatants or ghostwriting companies? I was trying to deposite from money to my Skrill account (alternative to PayPal) but I kept getting a transaction failed message. A customer care person from Diamond bank said international deposits cannot be made using the diamond bank debit card.

I'm wondering how you people managed to solve this problem. How do you make payments in dollars?

Thanks for any reply

let me set the records straight getting virtual assistant for reviews is black hat tactics build an email list instead although people still do review swaps I'm guilty too.
however there's a science to it...get it wrong and your account get closed .
caution caution.

Kindly ignore anyone who can't afford your service. 250k is cheap though. I charge more than that just to get someone an EIN/TIN.

It doesn't matter if other people are offering what you're offering — just know your worth and charge accordingly. I have vowed never to charge cheaply again after a bad experience I had and a research I did.

People who pay more, pay more attention in learning.

People who pay less, pay less attention in learning.


Let me tell you a short story. Yesterday, I stumbled on a-4-minute video of May Weather visiting a Gucci shop.

Someone was worried on the way he lavishes money, then asked him, "Do you have investments?" And he said yes. Then, the person asked again, "Can you give us some investment tips?"

He looked at him and replied, "No. You need to tip me to get some investment tips." What he meant was, "I value my investment tips and it's worth money, so pay before I tell you. I can lavish my money, but I can't lavish my wisdom."

I was mesmerized with his reply. There was a time he got paid just to travel to China for a visit. When you know your worth, you'll charge high without remorse. Life has stages.

The only time a wise man should freely or cheaply give a knowledge he spent time, money, and energy to acquire is when he wants to add "free value" first to gain trust and loyal fan-base, else he should charge, then give some part of the money to charity.

So, your 250k is small. I think you're a lit fam on YouTube! If you know, you know. And if you are, you're on the right path to passive wealth.

Despite all the things I said above, I must be blunt with you: it will be disastrous to charge people money by promising them heaven on earth without delivering on your promises. That is what I call SCAM.

In my dictionary, scammers are liable to die young. So, only promise what you can do.

Please stop spamming everywhere with you thrash.

If you made 18 million ($50,000), you wouldn't be putting so much effort into trying to sell "mentorship" packages. After using "Inspect Element " on Chrome to edit screenshots, you come over Nairaland and start posting thrash all over the place.

I just logged into my publishing account and took another screenshot.

The below is my Life-To-Date royalty earned from kindle and paperbacks (not including audiobooks) as of February 2019. Tell me how it's even possible to make this up?..unbelievers will always choose not to believe no matter how compelling the evidence..they just don't think its possible (it's a mindset thing).

I've also added another screenshot showing my page reads since 2016 when i started publishing

You can clearly see I've made well over $50,000 (N18million) just from ebook and paperback sales....not including audiobook royalties

All things being equal I should make over $100,000 in 2019 from kindle, paperback and audiobook royalties combined. Thats my goal

I have a few colleagues that do well over $20,000 per month so compared to them i'm making peanuts (I want to surpass them)....I just want you to change your mindset. Anything is possible...you just need to surround yourself with people who are crushing it...they'll motivate you to BELIEVE and ACHIEVE what you thought was impossible.

You are the average of the 5 people you network with. When colleagues are competing to outdo each other miracles happen..you push yourself harder

Ok, so far these screenshots look legit.

But that doesn't really mean anything.

For all we know, you may have hacked into somebody's elses account and screenshoted it.

I did a Google search and came up with a website.

From what I'm seeing, Bros, it's like you stole this Micheal Ezeanaka name, or hacked his account.

Evidence in my favor

The original guy has

•has a blog, books and his account screenshots. His pics are also available for anybody to steal.
•Wouldn't need an anonymous name in an internet forum.
•Some of Helios statements are nearly copied word for word from the original Michael Ezeanaka.


It's looking more and more like identity theft and you've highjacked an innocent person's account and trying to pull a fast one.

Please remember that scammers and identity thieves are liable to die young.

That sounds pathetic to me lol yeah sure I logged into his Amazon account and took screenshots (very current ones at that...you can see they go all the way to January 2019)...gee I also changed his bank account details to mine while i was at it hahahaha...all that money is flowing directly into my hacker account

Give a break lol this is quite low even for your standard man

I am Michael Ezeanaka. I started this Nairaland account way before I started publishing so any alias I decided to use is no one's business..calm your horses lol

I understand your concern. This is Nigeria and people do a lot of bad things BUT mostly without PROOF. I have already shown considerable proof that I'm legitimate (screenshots that aren't even on my website - so where could I have copied it from if I'm impersonating Michael?). There comes a point when people just have to be reasonable.

Not everyone claiming to be successful at something is a criminal

Besides, if i was a crook I wouldn't mind charging a tiny amount just to hook as many gullible people as possible and then run

I know what my knowledge is worth and I charge accordingly...I myself have spent a considerable sum to acquire that knowledge so why give it out cheaply

Guy... If that guy said he made over a mill dollars on Amazon Kindle, please believe him oo.

Someone who just started writing is making over a thousand dollars monthly. I know because he uses my Payooner account and every month end I get the alert.
Money that's not mine. *crying*.

The earlier you understand that you are selling to the wrong market, the better for you.

The folks here are barely surviving and can mostly manage to spend below 10k on any Make Money package.

That's what they've been trying to tell you indirectly with all the bashings but you fail to see it.

You will find the people that can afford your rate on Twitter or LinkedIn and not here.

it's either you create a program they can afford if you really wanna help or just keep making your money solo-ly.

The folks here can't afford 250k, period.

Uncle, if I had the knowledge you claim you do have, I would use it to change lives...I'd charge nothing!

Yes, I started out as a freelance writer in 2018 and made some money.

Yes, I write for American companies with my real names on their websites. Listen, I keep my eyes on the bigger picture.

Wait....

Do you know what 250k is in this Buhari regime?

Do you know how much an entry graduate level earns as remuneration in First bank or even the CBN ?

How much does an average graduate earns, I mean those that have good job after their service year ?

Maximum say 200k.

You want to charge 250k just to train struggling Nigerian youth.

Fear God.

Go and rob the bank

Or

Opt in for Yahoo Yahoo and Wire-Wire because nobody will pay you that kind of sum here.

Hello, I am opening this thread to create a meeting point for people who are publishing books on Kindle –Amazon’s Direct Publishing Platform. Those who want to learn about it are also welcome.

I’ve been on KDP for over a year now and I can honestly say it is the most convenient way to make money on the internet. It has more advantages than any other online money making system that I know (I know what I’m saying). Started internet business in 2009 and I’ve done almost everything, Adsense, Adsense domain, blogging, CPA, affiliate marketing, article writing and more.

Kindle will not make you rich overnight but IT CAN MAKE YOU RICH. I love it because it is a set-it-and-forget-it system. Once your books are up, you do not have to do anything again. Amazon will publish it, market it and send you your monthly payments for life and I really mean for life. The books I put up in 2012 are still generating sales up till today.

I uploaded my first book middle of June 2012 and another one a week later. My sales that month were $151 in the USA marketplace and £9 in UK and I have not stopped since. Now I have close to 30 books in the system. They would have been more but there were some challenges on the way – all of which we have overcome as of now. (By the way I had 11 Adsense websites up till 2012 but I had to let the hosting expire because I discovered KDP).

I have books that sold more than 400 copies in one month (at $2+ profit per sale) and some that only sold a few. However, it has been an interesting journey and we are still going on. I started by doing most of the work by myself but later moved into outsourcing.

I have searched on Nairaland and I am surprised that people are not talking about Kindle publishing. If you have been struggling to make some cash online, this may be the thing that will give you your first taste of success.

Kindle publishing is completely legal, you will use your real names, no changing of IP address and your money will be sent to you here in Nigeria.

If you are ready to do the work and get good books into the KDP system, the rewards are truly tremendous. I sleep and wake up to check the number of people that have bought my books in countries I have never been to.

QUICK TIPS
One thing I like about Kindle Publishing is that no one can swindle you – no apologies to our so called Naija information marketers.

I am going to make a few more points before we continue. If I get a lot of responses on this thread, we are going to have an interesting journey together.

1) Get Ready To Do Some Work. Kindle publishing is not for people who are not ready to work. If you do not have money to outsource the books, you must be ready to research, write, format, design covers and upload all by yourself. Even if you have the cash of outsourcing, you must cross-check every material carefully before uploading to KDP.

2) Be Patient. You can make some good money with your first book but it is not always so. I usually advice beginners to go for 5 books at the start. The internet marketing world is filled with people who want to make $1000 overnight. No matter how good the system you are using is, time is needed to perfect your skills and make the system work for you. At the end of the day the rewards will be tremendous.

3) Don’t Cut Corners. In the IM world, we have what we call White hat, Grey hat and Black hat. I am happy to tell you that KDP is totally WHITE HAT. You cannot cut any corners. If you mess with them by trying to upload stolen materials, you will be banned (Some of you may remember the Adsense Domain Mass banning). Of course, they will give you the chance to defend yourself but since you will not have any proof, your account may be suspended.

PS- You don’t need to play any tricks with KDP. If you do it right, you will be greatly rewarded. There are many stories I can tell you. There was a particular book I uploaded around September 2012. It was selling the normal 30 to 40 copies per month. Suddenly in December, the sales picked up and it continued up till March this year with the lowest month bringing in about 259 sales.

4) Your Income Is Guaranteed. Once your book is uploaded, you will continue to get paid as long as it sells. All the work you will do is at the beginning then you continue to have recurrent income.

5) You Do Not Have To Do Any Marketing. I have books in various genres and no external marketing has been done on them. Nothing like Twitter, Facebook, blogging bla bla bla. Everything you need is inside the Amazon system.

6) Starting Is the Hardest Part – Once you understand the system, you can be uploading as many books as you like per week or per month. One of the people that started with me has over 50 books already and all his income comes from Amazon (here in Nigeria). Imagine 50 books making just 10 sales each per month. If your profit is $2 per book, that is $1000/month. The more books you upload, the more money you will make. One of my American friends has over 100 books in his account and he’s presently building up his wife’s account to the same number.

THE BASICS OF KINDLE DIRECT PUBLISHING

Step 1. Register
Go over to kdp.amazondotcom (replace dot with .) and open an account. This first step is necessary so you can commit yourself to the project.
-Use an email that you open frequently because they will communicate with you.
-Use your real names, real Nigerian address and other relevant details.

Step 2. Research
Research is one of the crucial aspects of success with Kindle Direct Publishing
Go to Google and enter Amazon Bestsellers in the search box. Click on the Amazon bestseller result to go to Amazon.
Once you are there, click on the kindle category, then kindle eBooks and start searching for books that are selling.
There are other research methods but this is my favorite.

Step 3. Write Or Outsource The Content
Get materials and write quality content for your books. The content must be original or your book will not be published. Ensure you proofread properly. Kindle readers will kill you with bad reviews if there are a lot of errors.

Step 4. Design A Cover
Just check other books in the category you chose and make a similar cover.

Step 5. Format The Book Properly
Formatting is another aspect that can easily mar your work. In fact some people are offering this service online and they are making a lot of money from it. You need to know the right way to format so the book will work well on different types of mobile devices apart from the Kindle Reader. Amazon provides extensive information on this topic.

Step 6. Write A Good Description

This is self explanatory. Your description could be two or three paragraphs or more. This is what will represent your sales page so you need to do it well.

Step 7. Upload Your Book To KDP

At This Point I Will Need Questions So We Can Continue.
This is just a 5% summary of what it takes to make it in Kindle.
If you are following this thread, you can start your own Kindle journey immediately and I’ll assist as much as I can. If you just want to “gist”, I will not have much time for you

UPDATE 4 30/06/2015
ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING MODIFICATION

After due consideration I have decided to stop the one-on-one training officially by the end of this month (June 30 2015). It is creating too much work for me. I now have many people that I have to follow up and give support to and I want to conserve my resources.

Anyone who comes after this month will have to pay at least N50,000 to make it worthwhile for me. Price for the DVD of materials is also raised to N20,000 for the same reason because I provide the same support to those who order only the DVD.

I will still continue to answer your questions on this thread and through email as much as I can.

Thank you.
