HeliosHay: Fiction requires skill, not keywords, and that skill I have in abundance. I'm one of the best over in the literature section and i kid you not. At my start in 2016, i made over 50k on this forum selling my novels 500 to 1k per copy until only broke people where left (Not many ever managed that). Blogging never paid and i was borke for so long, wasted so many good years at it, and I discovered Amazon so late. Just check the number of followers I have. and you may understand. That storytelling skill is one reason many cannot do novels etc. For example one of my novels sold five copies in on Good Friday and its not even a good novel by Amazon standards cos its based in Nigeria... it's about boko haram terrorists and the white guys don't like that stuff. Leave Africa things to Africa... this lesson, among many, I learn the hard way but you got to be really gifted to write the white man's story in a way he will like it, stay glued and my next book is that followed by another and then another. Stephen King is not the only guy with a monopoly on imagination and this is one thing you will never get by outsourcing that's why fiction doesn't sell for you guys Non-fiction stuff is easy to you but not so to me, particularly that keyword angle. It never quite flowed and I am always short on topics. But Novels... lol. As I am typing i have headache cos i got four novels in my head two of which are fantasy series that will run several episodes My question now, sir, is, what is the next high sales period cos i just realized i missed easter sales. I also missed a lot of the winter sales period due to emotional depression and ignorance of its existence. I recognized these periods only observing the bump in sales on my dashboard but I was never ready. I wanna be ready for the next one. |

Eze2000: I understand. Everyone has their strenghts...I started with non-fiction, I found success with it so decided to specialize only in it. I've never dabbled in fiction and (since it requires a totally different strategy) I'm not ready to. You seem to know what you're doing so I wish you the best with it. With regards to seasons that usually do well on Amazon, christmas is usually the best. But, you'll do well to look out for: - Amazon Black Friday - Amazon Cyber Monday - Halloween - Fathers/Mothers day - Amazon prime day etc. If your book(s) lend themselves well to any of these seasons then you might see more sales than usual when those days come around. Ofcourse your book has to be on page 1 for the relevant keywords so that customers can easily find your book when they're looking to buy gifts for their loved ones 1 Like |

Eze2000: Bro, it's good to be confident, but don't be overconfident. 90% of people outside Nigeria won't read 9ja style of fiction. Unlike nonfiction, it is far easier to 'sell' fiction novels (it you know what your doing). My humble advice for you is to publish one of your novels on sites like royalroad and Webnovel... See how other people from other parts of the world will react to it. You don't have to follow my advice though. Lastly, if your want to sell lots of books, either become a famous, or consistent author... Or, target holiday seasons (e.g. when student in America are out of school...) If possible, write for the US audience. Because, that's where you'll get most of your sales from. Disclaimer: Fiction or nonfiction, it doesn't really matter. If you can market your book well it will sell. It does not have to be good, a lot authors make serious money from publishing crap (fiction)... I'm not talking about 1-7k here ooo... 20k+ P.s. If your grammar is not good, please get an editor. You can publish without one, but your readers will kill the book via the reviews (if there are errors)... Good luck ��� |

MrDojo: You are like 3 years late with your advice. Wish I got it years ago. This was what i was saying when i said keep African things to Africa If you publish Nigerian style novels on Amazon no one will buy it. It took me years to realize that it was my novel not amazon was the wahala. we are talking about novels that were best sellers on Okadabooks and nairaland literature section, mind you. I no longer write nigerian books 4 Likes |

Eze2000: Amazon controls over 80% of the publishing space and Amazon US is the biggest market. It makes sense to tailor your content to satisfy the needs of customers in the US..I agree with you. Keep African stuff to Africa 1 Like |

Publishing Income Update (Last 30 Days) All things considered, I'm happy with progress made so far...but not too happy. Looks like i'll make less than $10,000 this month. Income Breakdown (assuming £1 = $1.25 and €1 = $1.11) Ebooks - $1040 Paperback - $3520 KENP - $230 Audiobook - $4000 Total - $8790 (N3,164,400) Q2 is usually the slowest quarter in the publishing cycle so I'm not too surprised. On a positive note, April 2018 I made a total of $2450 so this month's projected income represents a 259% year on year increase. Will continue to add more books to my portfolio Goal For 2019 One goal I'm determined to achieve this year is to create a strong passive and portfolio income stream. Kindle publishing has the passive income side covered. I intend to pour as much of my earnings into Nigerian Treasury Bills to create a strong portfolio income stream...that'll help me diversify my networth. 3 Likes

HeliosHay: Treasury bill? Why not real estate? |
Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by HeliosHay(m): 9:06am On Apr 23, 2019 |
versashee: Treasury Bill is liquid and my principal will be safe (unless the Nigerian Govt defaults..which is highly unlikely) I just like the idea of my money working to earn me money instead of my digital assets (books) only doing the work. If I accumulate N200 million from Publishing and invest that in TB, I'll be earning N20 million each year completely passive...no work whatsoever. I'll still get into real estate but that's further down the line...it's not a priority for me at the moment. 4 Likes |

Wealth, In My Opinion, Is A Three-Legged Stool A three-legged stool that comprises of: Self Development: What are your goals with regards to feeding your mind? How many books do you commit to reading in a month/year? The two books that completely changed my life were The Richest Man In Babylon and Rich Dad Poor Dad. Reading those books made me see things in a different light. It made me conscious of how I used my money and put me on the road to financial freedom. I'd advise you read them...if you haven't already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V_ipcdqooI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUZNMosAcjA Health: What are your goals with regards to your health? How often do you exercise? How much rest do you get in a day? What sort of food do you put in your body? It's amazing how much we take good care of our cars but disregard our body. We only have one body in this life. Take care of it and it'll take care of you. Financial: This one is a no brainer. Like Robert Kiyosaki said in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad. You become financially free when your income from your assets (not a job), surpasses your expenses. You should aim to keep accumulating income generating assets (Real Estate, Stocks, Books, Patents etc.) 3 Likes |

Danyl: 45 books. It's not impossible to achieve...once upon a time I was making only $100 per month. You just have to commit to it. Treat it like a business and it'll pay you like a business. Treate it like a side hobby and it'll pay you like a side hobby 6 Likes |

Audiobook report for March just came through. Made $3712.16 (N1.33 million) Total Earning For March Came To $9181 | N3,305,160 (Between Kindle, Paperback, KENP and Audiobooks) I won't lie to you. While most people in Nigeria can easily publish kindle and paperback books, not everyone can publish audiobooks. This is because ACX currently doesn't allow people outside of the US, UK and Canada to publish audiobooks on their platform. However, there's a way to LEGALLY bypass this rule. If you want to learn how to be able to publish Audiobooks on ACX while living in Nigeria, see the Bonus strategy section in the Kindle Direct Publishing Blueprint. Price: N20,000 For enquiries, email: Obinnaezeanaka@yahoo.com
