[First Journey] $125 per month with KDP

[JackSparrowz]

Fucking stupid amazon bug.
I only get 1.30$ in royalties for each sale instead of 1.44$(that what amazon tells me I should be getting), looks like Amazon is printing extra blank pages which is why my best seller has such a low rating.
I just republished the book that will fix the issue.

Earnings Update:

If anyone interested in how I create my coloring books fast.
I have an illustrator file preloaded with 20 coloring pages and I just change text depending on the book.

same thing for covers.

two completely different niches. but only 1 word is different.
My future goal will be to create covers as good as this.

Which program you use for doing the write all over the prepared backaground sir?
And which tools on the program please?

illustrator for the interior and photoshop for the covers.

Is this what you mean by preloaded
You make separate art Boards like this below and edit each one of them?

I usually work on quote coloring books (ex:swear coloring books) that contain a coloring pattern and text over it.
What I did was create a file and added 20 artboards with coloring pages and saved it as an ai file.
Now every time i want to create a coloring book i just open that file and add text over it.
It's that simple.

Goal achieved in less than 2 months!

congratulations.

You motivated me to start a my journey with KDP. I'm focusing on POD right now, I'll find a time for KDP too.

- Do you use a tool for finding keywords, or just using the search of Amazon? I'm wondering of some tools may help me.

What's POD? thanks

I am self-publishing books on Amazon Kindle from a small island in the Caribbean. So I am sure Asia is totally fine too.
