Hi all. How is your kindle publishing going? So, after a tedious process of having to understand what KDP is all about sometime in may, how to do keyword research, getting my book outline, having it ghostwritten, editing, formatting, cover designs, searching for related keywords and category research, getting my beta readers and launch team involved and a whole lots of stuffs, I am finally happy to say that I have published my first ever book both in kindle and paperback formats. Kindle yesterday and paperback today but under review....And just as I was still trying to ensure there were no erros after publishing, I got a sale today. An encouragement to keep pushing I suppose. I haven't scheduled for free download, no review too, no paid promo, I haven't yet told my launch team to start leaving their reviews (waiting for the scheduled date for this). Thanks Helioshay, MK8, Bros123 and others for their public and private support. Looking forward to more progress and publising more hig quality and well researched books and I wish you the same.

Gracias.

launch team? Can you explain a little

eliok:
launch team? Can you explain a little

A group of selected people who have chosen to read your book (test readers) in advanced before publishing, same people who would spot issues or errors if any and give you feedback before publishing. After publishing on amazon, the very set of people to leave a review on amazon, once the book is free for download.

do you pay them

No I didn't. I joined a group on FB, interacted with the members, made contributions and got visibility. When it was time to ask for launch team members, it came easy.

Beware he's a scammer he also operate the account stallion44

His days are numbered already

I just checked your thread on your profile and I noticed you are referring to the OP as a scammer. You guys really need to do your due diligence proper and stop falling for scammers and tagging others that have no clue about you being scammed. These scammers just mention random monikers, this same statement was made by someone else in your "scam post", anyways, sorry for your loss but next time, be wise.

ForkDragnet:

Please, stop referring to me as a scammer. I dont recall dealing with you and my dealings on this thread are transparent for everyone. In addition, I don't operate more than one account.

People who have transacted with me can attest to my integrity.

Thanks

ForkDragnet:

Oga he was not the one that scammed you. Next time when conducting business on nairaland do your due diligence. Someone you're transacting with gave you two unconnected monikers as his own (high profile trusted monikers for that matter) and you believed without asking him to message you on nairaland from the said monikers.

It's sad you were scammed but keep the OP of this thread out of it.

You can get a copy of the blueprint now it's at a 25% discount.

That being said, the key thing when publishing a book is that the keyword is profitable and there isnt much competition. Once you have these two things in place, you dramatically increase your chance of making sales

Ofcuz to maximise sales, you have to ensure you have a good cover, good description and a lot of other factors you need in place. But the key ones are profitability of keyword and number of competition. The blueprint goes in more details about all of the above

I just got debited on refund bases for a sale I made last month.
Is it possible for someone to still return an eBook after reading it for more than two weeks?

Yes, possible.

Bro, greetings I will like to pm you

EXICON:
Yes, possible.

Okay. This is the second time it happened and it pains because I've already counted my dollars

Sorry, I know how it feels. I have been there. When it first happened to me, I was surprised, even at e-book sales refunds. My mentor was the one that explained better to me. Just get over it. It's part of the process.

Keep writing, (quality books at that) and continue doing the right things. Don't be discouraged

Made $12,144 in October, Closing in on $10,000 in November 2019

Audiobook royalty income for last month (October) came in from Audible yesterday and I made more than I expected ($4320.17). With that update, estimations for last month earnings went up to $12,144.

With regards to this month, total income is currently $9681.54.

The income for this month has been completely passive as I've barely managed it given that I travelled to Nigeria and I'm currently doing my youth service - hence little to no time to do anything. Now that I'm out of orientation camp, I intend to ramp things back up as much as possible.

Income Breakdown

Audiobook Royalty - $2940.8

Paperback Royalty - $4803.93

eBook + KENP Royalty - $1400.08

Ingramspark Royalty - $536.73

2019 November month to date Income - $9681.54 (N3.49 million)

2019 Year To Date Income - $127,489.26 (N45.9 million)


Resources

For those interested in learning my publishing strategies, a number of resources are available for you. Some are currently on discount and others aren't. See below for more information

Kindle Blueprint - N15,000 (Returns to N20,000 after Nov 30, 2019)
Kindle Research Video - N10,000 (N8000 for Kindle blueprint owners)
10 Profitable Keywords In Self-Help Niche (N10,000)
10 Profitable Keywords In Computer & Technology Niche (N10,000)
10 Profitable Keywords In Cooking (N10,000)

For enquiries, email Obinnaezeanaka@yahoo.com

Hello Michael, welcome back. i was wondering where you ran off to. Great to have you around and welcome to Nigeria.
Your Report for November? you mean you just earned that amount (about 3.5m) while you were at the orientation camp as in you did nothing extra?

Also for these ones:
(a)10 Profitable Keywords In Self-Help Niche (N10,000)
(b)10 Profitable Keywords In Computer & Technology Niche (N10,000)
(c)10 Profitable Keywords In Cooking (N10,000)

I think you should also give a discount also as buyers of the KINDLE BLEPRINT and also will those keywords still be still as juicy as when you first posted them as profitable?

Please Respond

Thanks bro.

With regards to your first question, I was in orientation camp. No laptop, poor network..hence the reason why I did nothing. All I could do was log in occasionally (from my phone) to see how sales were going BUT I couldn't publish or optimize anything. It was completely passive.

With regards to your second question, blueprint owners get 20% discount on all the other resources...those who are neither mentees or owners of the blueprint pay the full price listed above. Mentees get 50% discount

As for your final question, profitability is dynamic not static. What was wildly profitably in quarter 4 (Oct, Nov, Dec) may not be as profitable in quarter 1 (Jan, Feb, Mar) etc but by and large, a keyword that is profitable is profitable. All you can do is avoid keywords that are wildly seasonal in terms of their profitability (I go more into that in the blueprint).

If a keyword is profitable at one point and wildly unprofitable later in the year, its best to avoid it. The keywords listed in the book aren't the seasonal type

Mistakes Beginners Make When Publishing

Mistake #1

Not publishing in a profitable keyword

It still surprises me when people approach me asking whether they can publish their school project or any random thing they thought about etc without any research to back it up. In the publishing world (and indeed the business world), you give customers what they want as opposed to what you want or what you THINK customers want. Beginners need to learn how to conduct effective market research to find out what customers DEFINITELY want.

How do you know its definite? because these customers have voted with their wallets/credit cards and continue to do so.

There are a lot of ways you can approach it.

First of all, you can try to jot down ideas you think might do well on Amazon. After that, you extract keywords from those ideas e.g. your idea could be about "Advise for people getting married", the general keyword would be "Marriage"

You go on Amazon and check whether that keyword is profitable. Does it satisfy all the criteria specified in the Kindle Blueprint?

Once it satisfies all or most of the critieria, you can then proceed to check whether the keyword is trademarked. By doing so, you protect yourself and your publishing account.

You only proceed with creating a book once you've confirmed that a market exist for that book and publishers in that market are making money
