[First Journey] $125 per month with KDP

was originally planning to but Payoneer requires a local bank account.

after I open a local bank account I will use it to open a Payoneer account then link it with amazon.

No you do not need a local bank account. I set u my Payoneer account without one. They will give you a Mastecard Debit card. You can use that card at any ATM machine to withdraw your funds.

when did you open your account? I think they started requesting a local bank account recently, it may also depend on the country.


forgot to post earnings for this month in the last update )

Well about 5 or so years ago was when I opened my account. I live in Antigua located in the Caribbean.

December:

this is my best month so far

units sold this month: 230
this month earnings: $320.48
total earned during this journey: $1,369.32

I still haven't bothered to go to my bank to finish opening my bank account, this thread will get more lively after I do that, I already have a few books with good ratings that I'm planning to run ads for.
 
You reached the goal of 300$ per month.

Congratulations.

You motivated me more now. Maybe I'm a lazy person like you. Lol.

I've started a journey about POD, got only 1 sale, and then I stopped, and then again started with KDP and I've uploaded 58 books (planners, journals, notebooks) and got only 1 sale so far. Maybe I should try making some activity books and coloring books since I already know a little skills about using Adobe Illustrator, and I just started learning InDesign, it's a little different from the others, but seems easy to be learned.

One more thing: I've just re-read your whole journey, and u mentioned that you're from Morocco. That's cool. I'm from Morocco too. Lol. A shitty country.

Wish u a good luck for more sales. Never give up, go set up a payonner account and get your profit. It should motivate you to work more.

you should, that's what I'm having the most success with, I only get some notebook sales here and there despite being the majority of the books uploaded.

Thanks alooot :)

kdp has the option to check lifetimes earnings, as for payment status amazon show that he sent me a few cheques, I only receive one but didn't withdraw any money, hopefully, the money would still be there when I link my Payoneer account.

if anyone knows how to stop amazon from sending me these stupid cheques, please let me know.

What are u waiting for man, add your Payoneer account before 20 January so u can get paid.
 
I read everything from the beginning. If you stay systematic and invest in advertising, you will earn much more. I keep my fingers crossed and I will watch this topic! I look forward to more frequent updates.
 
Hello, good luck with your journey. Did you've done some research of the niche of the books? Or it's general niche?
And also you sell digital format or you have to print and send it to the customers after purchase?
 
for log books I try not to price lower than 6.99 but sometimes I price at 5.99 just to see if the price makes a difference (it doesn't).
and for coloring books I try to price very low then increase the price once my book has a good ranking.

I don't know how to calculate average xD, so here is a list of all the books that sold this months(first 3 days)
7 units from a coloring book priced at 5.15$ (I earn 0.8$)
5 units from a coloring book priced at 4.58$ (I earn 0.5$)
2 notebooks priced at 6.99$ (I earn 1.9$)
1 logbook priced at 6.99$ (I earn 1.9$)
why you earn only 0.8usd if the book is priced 5.15?
good luck with journey
 
I have been checking the books that sold manually to see if I have gotten any new reviews, no idea why amazon doesn't send email notifications for reviews.

and I got another negative review on my best seller.
now it has 2 one star reviews but it doesn't look like it affected the sales much.

both the reviews mention blank pages at the end, but when I checked the interior, there is only 1 page left blank at the end.
Is this a problem on amazon's end? and how to fix it.
I don't want to sell garbage to customers.
so the amazon prints and send your books?
