1stbest: Thats fine. You can perhaps start as a freelancer on fiverr.com or upwork.com Offer any services e.g proofreading, cover design, editing, book formating etc. Save up money to then invest in a more scalable business. Freelancing business is great for getting started but you're still exchanging your time for money cuz if you don't work you don't earn - so it's not a very scalable business model. But it's great for building up your savings for a much better business model 4 Likes |

HeliosHay:I started Publishing last week after reading this thread and I decided to take action. so far i have sold two copies, im a professional graphics designer so I did the book cover myself. I would have love u to mentor me though, but I cant even afford you |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 7:58pm On Mar 23, 2019 |
stifej: Well done for taking action! Not many people have the courage to do that. With regards to your wish for mentorship, what's your budget and what are your income expectations? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Nobody: 8:56pm On Mar 23, 2019 |
stifej:Hii, are you conversant with Kindle formatting? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by stifej: 10:40pm On Mar 23, 2019 |
Mariinee:Yes, I formatted my books myself, I downloaded some videos from Youtube and just put everything to practice. It's pretty simple too |

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Nobody: 11:06pm On Mar 23, 2019 |
stifej:Can you help with it, please? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 11:41pm On Mar 23, 2019 |
stifej: That's a nice goal man. Wish you all the best...if you do things right 15 books should be enough (Assuming you run no ads). Unfortunately, 15k is way below my price range. Keep up the good work. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by stifej: 12:09am On Mar 24, 2019 |
Mariinee:sure...send me a mail I will forward my WhatsApp number to u and we can take it up from there |

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 11:26pm On Mar 24, 2019 |
stifej: Sorry bro..wish I could but the numbers don't make sense for me. With one-on-one coaching, I'm spending a lot of my time and energy showing you the rope, passing on my knowledge and, most importantly, publishing WITH YOU as opposed to saying a few things and then leaving you to your devices. Its time consuming and to make just 15k at the end of it isn't worth it. My book contains all the strategies I used to scale my business. I also mention how I do keyword research, including: - 5 Profitable keywords (as of March 2019) you can explore and - How you can publish audiobooks in Nigeria (even though a lot of people believe that's not possible). It's possible and there's nothing illegal about it. As long as you can financially afford it, you can implement the strategy required to publish Audiobooks in Nigeria That book alone cost 20k The intention is for that book to be the lower ticket item with my mentorship being the higher ticket upsell (should people want personal guidance) |

Fraud Alert Be careful when you make book orders from upwork/fiverr.com or indeed anywhere. When it sounds too good to be true it probably is. How can you possibly expect a one-day turnover for a 25,000-word book? beats me. Hopefully, he'll get his money back. When hiring writers be on the lookout 1. Do they have a history of doing a similar job for other people? 2. How long have they been active (check their profile history) 3. How high are they rated (check reviews) 4. Are the reviews recent? etc. 5. Do they have samples? 6. Ask specific questions in the job post. From the response you get, you'll be able to pick out the ones with a keen eye for detail (hint: most times, scammers are always in a hurry to get your money they skip answering questions you posed in the job post) Always do your due diligence

ACX Royalty report for January...4th straight month I pulled in more than $5000 from audiobook royalties alone

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by libertyinc1: 10:04am On Mar 26, 2019 |
HeliosHay:But on a very very serious note sir..... 1. How much does it cost to make an audiobook on the average?....(i know it may vary depending on number of hours) 2. what is the average possible income if one can make say 20 audiobooks?( i know the niche you write on also is a factor that determines possible income) 3. If i pay for your mentorship, how much do i need to start off immediately so i can start getting some good returns on my investments? Thank you so much for your anticipated response. |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 10:26am On Mar 26, 2019 |
libertyinc1: To your question.. 1. You can negotiate rates with narrators but I usually pay $50 per finished hour for the best narrators. 2. My current earning is based on 43 audiobooks..it's taken me 2+ years to accumulate them. An audiobook in a good niche can fetch you atleast $50 per month (My best audiobook to date made me over $3000 in its debut month...sales sort of slow down after that) 3. I estimate it'll cost atleast $300 to ensure you're well positioned to earn income from audiobooks from Nigeria. After that, cost of writing a high quality 10,000 words book is atleast $120...formating/book cover design might cost another $30...you can hire a narrator and pay them to narrate your book or you can enter a royalty share deal with a narrator where you pay nothing but you share your royalty with them for 7 years on that audiobook (so cost of audiobook production can be $0) To start seeing some consistent earnings from audiobooks you need to have atleast 5. Like i always say, this is a real business not a get rich quick scheme. Back in 2016 I was earning $200, $300 etc. from audiobooks but I kept at it..I kept building up my portfolio..reinvesting profits. My earnings now is a direct result of the work I put in over the years. If I can do it, anyone can. 1 Like |

HeliosHay: are the contents of your audiobooks same as that of your e-books |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 11:36am On Mar 26, 2019 |
generationz: Ofcuz...your audiobooks are basically your ebooks in audio format....just like your paperbacks are your ebooks in print format |

Congrats on your recent earnings sir.its quite encourain and i must say very inspiring.Please keep up the good work and quietly ignore the naysayers. Now to your answers, i want to thank you profusely for taking time to answer my questions in detail. It means i need between $150-$200 for a 3-4 hour audiobook? so how long from your estimation(i.e. time duration) does it take to produce an audiobook then If or When one pays for your one-on-one menntorship, you mentioned he or she would go through training on how to do all that stuff with making an audiobook........would you do another ebook just for audiobook program alone and probably make it free for those that pay for your mentorship just to act as a bonus you know? Many Many Thanks and do have a nice day Mr. Michael. HeliosHay: |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 11:02am On Mar 28, 2019 |
libertyinc1: You're welcome. Yes, it'll cost between $150-$200 for a 3-4 hour audiobook. It can cost less if you negotiate a better deal (I've hired narrators that did the job for less than $50..although they weren't that great. In addition, if you opt for royalty share deal then your cost of production will be $0). With regards to your second question, writing these ebooks is very time-consuming but I might create one for audiobook publishing when I get a chance. |

Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by libertyinc1: 9:24am On Mar 29, 2019 |
Thanks for your response Michael. i think i would rather spend money and do my audiobooks than opt for any royalty share deal(not interested). Yeah am told its upwards of $50 an hour for a good narrator........But how much does a good quality audiobook sell for on kindle publishing and how long does it take to get an audiobook ready Am told this business is like real estate. do the hard work and then get your returns infinitum as long as you write good quality books. An acquaintance also told me this is the best time to get into audiobook publishing as the surface has not even been scratched. For the course on audiobook publishing, maybe you should give it a very serious thought.it a negligible few that have really seen the light concerning selling audiobooks you know. Thanks a million for your patience man!! Gracias!! HeliosHay: |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 1:25pm On Mar 29, 2019 |
libertyinc1: ACX sets the price based on the length of the audiobook. You only control the price of ebooks/paperbacks With regards to how long it takes to create an audiobook, from the time you hire a narrator to when the audiobook goes live on audible takes 1-2 months. This is because audiobook review by the ACX team takes 14 business days...sometimes more |
