Wow man good job and good luck to you reaching your goal of 1500. This is very interesting and I'll look into this too. Low content is drawing books or short info books?

Interesting story, good luck on your journey. What are you referring to when you say "low content" 20-30 pages or less?

Thanks. I write books on many different topics related to low-content books. Both of them are included in that.

Interesting story, good luck on your journey. What are you referring to when you say "low content" 20-30 pages or less?

Thanks. Low content of the books is not related to the number of pages. For instance, some of my books are 90 pages, while others are 30 pages.

best of luck!

Thanks.

Wishing you best of luck friend and am also interested in the kdp.

Thanks.

I'm planning to write an update post on Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanks for the clarification but I have to ask and excuse me because I am very new here but what does a low content book consist of if you can provide an example? I appreciate it and thank you

For example notebooks are low content products. You can use Google to find more details.

For Apple books authors do they accept everyone or should I use a vpn.
And where do I sign up? Do you have a link?
Thank you.

 

[HustleTong]

Interesting. How long does it take to create one book?
Good luck!

Thank you.

You can use Apple Books for Authors. You will need an apple computer. I didn't use a VPN.

Great work! Best of luck mate!

Thanks.

Good luck!

Nowadays, I create a book in about 3 days. Thanks.

Hi, I have been working with Amazon KDP for 11 months. Last year (2022) in March, I created my Amazon KDP account and published some books as an amateur. Over time, I watched most of the videos on this topic on YouTube, examined some niche topics in detail, and continued to create various books on these topics. And here are my results at the end of 11 months:

View attachment 244047

I have unpublished 273 of my books from publication because they looked too amateurish. Therefore, I currently have 476 books. My books mostly have low content.

As it seems now, I have a monthly income of $202 (2229/11). In my country (Turkey), an amount of around $1500 is sufficient for a comfortable living.

I also created an Apple iBooks author account this month. (I haven't published any books yet. I am trying to figure out how it works.)

Additionally, I plan to sell some e-books on my website that I am creating. The site is still under construction and I am currently working on organizing it. I plan to finish it by the end of March. (Currently, it is 70% completed)

Monthly Goals for March 2023

• I should publish around 10-15 books. (My books have low content, but they take a lot of time to prepare)
• I need to increase my income for March by 10% compared to last month. I expect my income for February to be $300. My goal for March is $330.
• I should publish one book on the Apple iBooks.
• I should create a YouTube channel to promote my books on both Apple iBooks and Amazon KDP. I plan to share short videos on the channel.
• I am not a professional, but I have some design skills (Canva Pro). I should create a designer account on Creative Fabrica. I applied for it yesterday and I am expecting a response within 5 days.
• I need to make my self-created website ready for book sales.

Monthly Goals for March 2024 ($) (If I achieve these goals early, I will write new goals.)

• Amazon KDP: 800​
• Apple iBooks: 200​
• Youtube (book affiliate programs, for example digistore24, amazon associates): 150​
• Creative fabrica: 150​
• My website: 200​

Each month I will write here at the end of the month whether my goals have been achieved or not and new goals. If something very important happens, I will write here every weekend.

That's all for now. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them as soon as I can.

I'm not a native English speaker, so I may have made some mistakes. I am sorry about that.

UPDATE 1 (01.03.2023)



February was better than I expected. I created a YouTube shorts channel. I think my YouTube videos have a positive impact. They haven't been watched a lot yet, but still, some of my videos were viewed around 200-300 times. I thought I would earn 300 dollars, but this month (february) I earned 341 dollars with Amazon KDP.

I am updating my Amazon KDP goal for March to 375 dollars.


Also, I promoted some book affiliate programs with my YouTube channel. So far, I've earned 9 dollars in February. My affiliate earnings goal for March is 25 dollars.

In short, my total goal for March is $400.

Finally, my Creative Fabrica designer account has been approved. I am currently reviewing it and exploring what I can do.

Expected KDP earnings for February: $300
Total KDP earnings for February: $341.64
Extra earnings (such as affiliate marketing, etc.): $9

The goal for February was achieved: ✓

If something important happens in the future, I will write an update post. If nothing happens, I plan to do a monthly update at the end of each month.


I look forward to your questions, suggestions etc. Thank you

You can try to create books with less text or no text.

You can use chatgpt to write the book and grammarly to edit it.

Thanks for the explanation. No, I haven't done what you said for the moment. I prepare A+ content. I write all the details there.
