Sir
Do you always buy reviews when ever you publish a new book?
Do I do it, is it right?

SoNature:
HeliosHay, I noticed that a Nairalander I asked to format my book, reprinted it on Amazon. How possible is that?
I noticed that the person just reworded the description.
Well, I just realized that he's a Nigerian because he's English is not even strong enough.
The idiot may be reading this, but I don't care!
Nigerians are horrible creatures.
Please how do I get Amazon to investigate this case?
Thank you

Here's the link to the book pirated copy

Do you use writers from Upwork or fiverr, have you used Nigerian writers before, what has been your experience.

HeliosHay:


I mentioned earlier the book was published March 18...then I did a 3 day free promotion. You don't expect a book to start popping sales right out the gate (no optimization, zero reviews etc). You've got things to optimize first.

Mind you, this particular book is already closing in on $1000!

I suspect this book might go on to become a $5000+/month book. I'm still optimizing it.

Prices Are Going Up In 8 days

Please note that the price of the mentorship will be increased to N150,000 on May 15, 2019 while the price of the Kindle Publishing Blueprint will go up to N30,000.

For those looking to get a copy of the book, you have 8 days to get it at the prevailing price of N20,000.

In the book, I discuss in detail all the strategies (about 12) I personally use in my publishing business - strategies that helped me scale up to $10,000 per month within 2 years and with less than 50 books.

In the book, you'll discover:

1. The correct way to do keyword research and publish books in niches that sell well
2. How to dominate niches that are profitable
3. How to maximize the royalties you earn from your Kindle and paperback book (every dollar of royalty counts)
4. How to increase the number of books you have without paying to get more books written (bundling is not the only way)
5. How to increase the customer lifetime value of my readers by selling to them over and over again - instead of once
6. How to maximize your earnings from page reads - I've earned over $4500 in 2 years from page reads alone
7. How to bypass the ACX restriction and publish audiobooks from Nigeria (and earn up to 40% royalty rates instead of the 25% you get when you publish via findawayvoices)
7. The writers I contract to write my own books (I give you access to them upon request)

and much, much more.

..I also provide support - you can also ask me questions regarding topics covered in the book that isn't clear to you.

The only difference between the book and the mentorship program is in the mentorship you have me guiding you step by step through the whole process. However, the video mentorship is just for ONE book. Once the Kindle and Paperback version of the book is live on Amazon, the video part of the mentorship ends but you have free non-video support for 6 months.

The mentorship package also includes details of how I publish audiobooks (every step of the process)

Price

Mentorship: N100,000 (will go up to N150,000 on May 15, 2019)
Kindle Publishing blueprint: N20,000 (will go up to N30,000 on May 15, 2019)

I've made more money from Publishing than I ever did working a full-time job. It has transformed my life and I believe this business opportunity is the gold rush of our time.

20-40 years from now, will you look back and say you were one of the few that made their fortune from self-publishing or will you be one of many that were mere spectators, people who stood by and watched as others realize their dreams?

John D Rockefeller made his fortune from Oil. Andrew Carnegie made his fortune from Steel...will you make your fortune from Publishing?

You have 8 days to make a decision.

Can you guarantee that those that will buy this package will not repackaged it and sold it cheap?

HeliosHay:


Those that bought the book from me have access to me. They can leverage the support I provide and ask questions...that's something that can't be repackaged.

Self Publishing is an evolving beast. Most of the strategies that worked 6 years ago no longer work today. Likewise, the strategies that work today may not be that effective 6 years from today. You need to continually learn and keep up with the times. That means the real value of the book is in the access the owner has to me.

It's like when I purchase a course, the real value is not necessarily in the course itself but rather in the opportunity I have to join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs (via private Facebook groups) who network together and help each other achieve their goals. When you see your colleagues breaking records..you're motivated to do so.

pkang:



Can a five thousand words book be of great content and sell well?
I need to start a book next month.

Please, can you tell me a niche I can write on to make some money so I could come to you for mentorship.
I understand the quickest way to success is to have a mentor but here, I need money to pay for the mentorship.
Get me one niche let me write on it then come back to you like that one leper.

HeliosHay:


Personally, I see 10,000 words as the minimum for a book. People need to feel like they got value for money..5000 words book on Amazon will most likely be a pamphlet when converted to paperback (less than 30 pages). Customers hate that..and you'll be inviting (avoidable) negative reviews.

It's also dependent on the niche you're in. If it's the kind of niche that promises to solve a very specific problem the customer has and you manage to solve that problem in the 5000 words book, then that might be fine. E.g If the book is about "How To Open A Paypal Account In Nigeria" and you help the customer achieve that objective in 5000 words then it's fine..they may not complain about the length of the book as long as they got the information they wanted.

In addition, if you format it right, the 5000 words book could go up to 50 pages or more.

With regards to revealing keywords that sell well, I already revealed 5 keywords in the Kindle Publishing Blueprint and people paid a lot of money to get that. I can't undercut them and reveal free keywords here.

africanman85:
10000 words is like $120 at d price of $0.012 per word going by one of ur threads don't u think is too much for a starter if he is to pay ?

Royalty Update (Last 30 Days )

At the beginning of this month, I feared May was going to be slow given that the month of May was the slowest month for me in 2017 and 2018. However, I've been surprised. So far things are going good (more or less business as usual)

Royalty

eBook: $1030
Paperback: $3640
KENP: $300
Audiobook: $4350

Projected Earning: $9320 (N3,355,200)

$9,320 a month!!! Wowsas!!! Some professionals in America don't even make close to this. Nice one.

HeliosHay:


It's a decent amount to make. Online businesses have made it possible to earn in dollars and spend in Naira...its incredible. Because of the purchasing power of the dollar, you have a lot of money left over to invest and build wealth in Nigeria.

In America, that money (although nice) won't do THAT much because you're earning in dollars and also spending in dollars.

HeliosHay:


This is a business...not some get rich quick scheme.

Even when I started back in 2016, I wasn't shy to invest as much as $200 into books because I knew I had over 70 years to make a return on my investment.

In this business, you get what you pay for.

I've once taken the easy way out and paid $40 for a book...guess what? that book ended up being a pile of crap. This has happened plenty of time I don't bother hiring cheap writers who haven't got a clue and who aren't invested in seeing you succeed.

Quality writers cost money and, if you have ambition of making thousands of dollars with your publishing business, what is $120?

You are building a brand...customers need to see you as the guy with the quality stuff. That's how you command a premium price.

If you manage to find a quality writer for cheap...kudos to you. But that's rare...Good writers know what they're worth.

Besides, if you do things right, you can make back your money within 3-4 months.

libertyinc1:
Yeah very correct....
but i wonder how much it will cost to hire a very good ghost writer and then ofcourse graphic designer and what have you....its really really worth the investment when you look at it.

Thanks Michael

HeliosHay:


Hiring a quality ghost writer for a 10,000 words book, hiring a freelancer to design a cover for you, hiring a freelancer to format it..everything should cost not more than $200.

gr8tsuccess:


Hi, I so much appreciate your contribution here. Please, what type of books do you publish, is it a cook book or fiction books. I will really appreciate reply.
