There are two ways to searching for title to write;

1. Modelling for an already selling book

2. Using amazon search bar and suggestion expander.

Either of the two, there are two thing you should look out for;

1. Competition
2. Profitability - First 3-5 books BSR

For example, the new book i want to write hava a competiton of around 1000 and BSR of average 30k.

Thanks boss.

Thanks boss... I will check it out

Greenscientist:
Nothing special bro. I'm still a learner too.

I don't count words, but my book are usually above 100 pages on a Statement book size.

Why exactly am I doing wrong? You mean 100+ pages on a 5*8 book size? So, you just check out top books on a certain category and replicate?

Hmmm, anyhow, thanks.

I just downloaded Google Keep Notes and after a little research, I decided to use HabitNow as my accountability app.

This accountability app is flexible and cheap compared to others, the premium version is 3.999 Naira and you get access to it forever. It's easier to set goals like habits, tasks, and you don't even need to fill up any form because they already have your personal information as soon as you click on "install".

I'm looking forward to getting back to kdp publishing, programming, learning a new language, and another goal (which makes it 4). I'm going to take my time to write down my goals before I select my 2024 goals. As long as I am alive, I will live and not just exist!

iLegendd:
After you've done your research, tell me the accountability app you chose and why you chose it. The person with the best reason or best app gets a gift.

Thank you for this thread.

These days, I've been lazy and feeling hopeless. I will certainly do this, I don't like the fact that I haven't achieved that financial freedom through book publishing. This is because I've haven't mastered keyword and niche research, it breaks my heart I wouldn't be able to go see my mother after 5 years of being away from home.

I get scared every time it's a new year because something keeps telling me I am where I am today because I have not fully discovered whom I am. I didn't choose to be born but since I'm already on Earth, I want to truly love and not just exist but somehow, I feel like I'm a lazy bum even when I work hard like a donkey. But it's stupid and useless to work like a donkey and earn like a newbie beggar.

Thank you for threads like this, since I've being watching my laptop for weeks now but the motivation to open up msword vanishes as soon as the fact that I haven't mastered keyword and niche research hits me hard like an avalanche. I will overcome this phase but it feels like forever and I hate myself...

Sorry for the rant, everyone!

Oh boy, Black people keep giving aliens more excuses for colonization 2.0 . This is brutal and seems like a fact, good sir! I felt anger and frustration as I read through it.

iLegendd:
Lol. That entity is also compromised. Most Nigerians will never reach 99 years old. We are being cheated and not only that, we consume lots of expired and fake products.

I like how you've been enforcing some of my beliefs since your return — certainly, this country is unworkable.

I've been trying to make people understand how things like this work, but they're all engrossed in their own ways and understanding of the world. This is why the rest of the world look down on us with pride!

These days, I have been watching Korean Dramas like Jumong (I rarely watch movies) and I'm just full of pride and at the same time shame seeing how these guys proudly display and sell their culture to the world.

I've been able to catch few phrases and their meaning. If only Nollywood was making movies like this (just like the Chinese and Indians), instead of making low budget movies about "village witches".

But I digress, everything you wrote is 100 percent correct! Let me stop here before I go 'kamakaze' on black people.

Religion can unite or destroy — there's a high probability that it might do the latter to humanity.

This trend is for those who genuinely went into kdp to write and publish their intellectual works and are finding it difficult to scale. It is not for those who purchased those fake courses flying around on facebook and twitter and want to hammer overnight.

I have been writing and publishing on amazon for a while have been getting so much mentions, and emails from followers of my japa diary. I have decided to dedicate one week to answer some questions. Just one week, so you can drop your questions.

No one should DM me, i won't respond. So, now is the time to ask your questions.

Hello boss.


I'm a fan of your diary, please how can I master keyword and niche research manually? I can't afford these softwares that make kdp publishing easier...

I'm really trying to use kdp to save myself from this storm before it sweeps me away but being unable to understand how keyword and niche research makes me depressed.

SweetBuns:
You're NOT NwaAmaikpe

Huh?

Greenscientist:
.

Bro, please how do you do your keyword and niche research? And how many words do your books normally contain? I follow your diary

The great ilegendd! Indeed, the mind is a powerful weapon but nowadays, I've been stuck in stagnant waters and lost my purpose because of how I watched my neighbor die.

I've been unable to get back to writing, the only thing that give me purpose — the drive isn't there anymore, maybe because I haven't mastered keyword and niche research.

Igbo goods were traded across modern day Nigeria and beyond and much like today Igbos were known in dealing with luxury and necessary household items.

For various parts of west Africa it wasn't uncommon to see Igbo cloth being traded. It was expensive and treated as luxury items. To the delta states it was a significant preserve of their elites and nobles. Igbo weavers worked with various textiles such as linen, cotton, barkcloth , silk, raffia, etc, etc...

A European traveller noted many civilians wearing this distinctive Igbo clothing in a town in modern day Northern Nigeria, but wasn't able to get a sample.

Some styles of Igbo cloth below.

Please what part of Igboland produced these fabrics? Some of the pictures I've seen had scantily dressed people or maybe it was their own style of dressing back then.

I really want to learn.

Kipaji:
Can't wait for your book Prof. Guobe

bro, what are you?

pansophist:
IT skills bro. Do more programming, since it doesn't involve expensive equipment.

A good one is animations and video editing. But you need a high-end laptop since we are in the era of 4k-8k video quality.

If you are very good with words, then maybe freelance on fiverr and upwork. ANy laptop with MS word will do. Collecting your money from Nigeria is where the problem is.

Thank you boss, I'm already into kdp publishing but getting a profitable niche or keyword has been a major obstacle. So, I'm trying to diversify — I've got responsibilities.

pansophist:
I don't know bro, I do not know much about laptops.

Hello sir, I was talking about the course you mentioned in the first comment I quoted. Please what course or skill can I acquire now that would change my life if I stay committed?


If I have to upgrade my PC's ram just to learn it, I will. So sorry.

VaselineCrew:
If no one goes to jail over this, then it would cement what you're saying, that lives don't matter in Nigeria

God have mercy!

I remember when all the fuss was made about getting Nnamdi Kanu, and at that point, all he was doing was talking on a microphone, however callous, but here we have a military taking 126 lives and nothing? This trial should be even bigger than Nnamdi Kanus own was.

May God have mercy on the souls of the departed and grant them a peaceful rest in his Kingdom, in Jesus name, amen!

You still believe these toothless Nigerians are capable of holding those at the "top" accountable?

They're still focused on Palestine VS Israel.

obaidan:
they are older and adults, they are the teachers therefore they should know better. That's the reason they are employed as teachers, to help guide the behavior and thoughts of the students

We are actually saying the same thing.

You don't know these girls — most times, the both parties are guilty. We only focus on these teachers because they are older and adults.

Kingozymandias:
He looks 51. That is the problem with Nigerians football = age falsification

51? That guy looks his age!

PedoBear:
If you be fine boy, go on bumble and pay for premium then chyke all those yt babe



Easiest to chyke are Filipinos, vietnamese etc.



If you're ugly, learn to code

That got me .


By the way, bro what's "bumble"? Does it mean my "handsomeness" is wasting away here?

pansophist:
You need am.

But if you no get money, try to hustle buy a laptop, and do one of these courses as your bargaining power to use abscond via work permit.

Before Tinubu sell you to China, use pay Nigeria debt

Hello boss, which course do you recommend I should buy that would help me? I can upgrade my laptop to 8gb...

I'm tired of working in a bakery as a 21 year old high school graduate with heavy responsibilities.

Thank you.

Pristine664:
The Portuguese on expedition in the 18th century were just having sex with their women anyhow. They were more like sex slaves in their own land. One of the reasons they still have many fair skin guys among them.

So, you mean people like me and my family are seeds of some ancient Portuguese guy?


Nawao! Stupid Igbo and Yoruba e-warriors!

Oh boy, the thread backfired but I understand the OP's point...
