I hope you reach the steps you want in your journey. Which platform do you use as an affiliate?

Thanks a lot. I use digistore24 and amazon associates.

Thanks for your answer. Do you specify any website (your own) in the application for amazon partnership? Or you stated that I am a book writer.

You're welcome. You need to have a social media account or website for Amazon Associates.

Congrats on your successes and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

How are you creating a book every 3 days? That seems like a lot of material to come up with.

Edit: I see above now where you answer this.

It's good to see that you're still continuing the journey. Does Wise account for personal use support USD account details and can a personal account be used to receive payments from Amazon, even if there is no Business account?

Thanks. As far as I know, a personal Wise account can't be used for commercial purposes. (KDP etc.)

Also, a Wise account is not mandatory. I only mentioned it because I use it myself. You can use any bank or virtual bank that supports USD, GBP or Euro.

If you live in one of the countries where Amazon makes direct payments, you can even receive payments directly to your bank account in your country. However, they don't make direct payments to Turkey.

If a word like "record" is a trademark and I put it on a sentence in the subtitle that's a risk or not for the account? Thanks

Good luck mate

I am not a trademark lawyer, so I can't provide you with definite information on this matter. However, Amazon places great importance on trademark issues, so I advise you to be careful in this regard. I also suggest that you examine whether the branded word or words are included in section 16 regarding trademark issues related to Amazon KDP activities. This is because KDP activity is directly related to this section. There are too many sites for trademark name checking. you can use whatever you want.

Good luck mate

Thanks.

Just as a side question, how long did it take to make your first $100? Even when you first started the journey, you have already reached. Also are only certain books sold or all of them?

UPDATE 3 (01.04.2023)

I didn't have time to prepare a book for iBooks this month. Other than that, I have finished my website for sales and now I will start uploading products. Also, I am continuing to create books for Amazon; each of my Amazon books is 87 pages long and they are no longer low-content books.

I initially used YouTube to promote my books, but it did not work out for me. Later on, I switched to Facebook and it proved to be much more effective.

Another update is that I participated in a cryptocurrency competition, and I wasn't expecting to win, but I think the competition wasn't very popular, so I won. This is not a regular income, but it will still be helpful for me at the moment ($180).

I also uploaded 35 products to Creative Fabrica and started seeing my first earnings from there. I believe that next month's earnings will be even higher.

I made a sale on Etsy this month and earned $15.

I couldn't reach my goal of $25 in affiliate earnings. This month, I earned $20.49.
I couldn't reach my Amazon KDP goal of $375 this month. I earned $323.28.

Lastly, I created a niche travel blog with a friend from high school. It's still very new as we just created it three days ago. I'm hoping to generate some earnings from this as well, but I know it will take time. We spent a total of 10 dollars to create a blog and purchased the domain, then moved it to Blogger. As a result, it was quite cheap. I purchased a ''net'' domain for 2 years using Google Domains.

I am considering using Travelpayouts for affiliate marketing for my travel blog.

Summing up, I'm still far from my goals, but I was just lucky this month.

In addition, I will create a table from now on to make it easier to understand: (March)

My methods for making money	Earnings ($)
Amazon KDP	323.28
Creative Fabrica	4.23
Apple iBooks	0
Affiliate Earnings	20.49
My Website (for book sales)	0
Travel Website (Blog)	0
Etsy	15
Cryptocurrency Competition	180

The total earnings for this month are $543. However, considering the websites that provide continuous income, it seems to be $363. Therefore, I will keep my goal for April at $410. I will write down the additional incomes, but I won't include them in the goal.

Monthly Goals for April 2023

• I will continue to upload books to the website that I set up for book sales.
• Create and upload 15 books for Amazon KDP.
• I should reach the goal of $410 this month.
• I should publish a book on the Apple iBooks.
• I will upload 30 products to Creative Fabrica.

Monthly Goals for April 2023 ($)

• Amazon KDP: 350
• Creative Fabrica: 10
• Affiliate Earnings: 30
• Etsy: 20

You can ask me all your suggestions, questions, everything. I'm waiting for your answers.

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

UPDATE 4 (01.05.2023)

I have decided to take a break from all of my other methods aside from Creative Fabrica, affiliate marketing and Amazon KDP. I have been struggling to find the time to create quality content. However, I do plan on continuing with my other methods of earning money in the future. (I still continue with other methods of earning money, but I do them much slower.)

My methods for making money	Earnings ($)
Amazon KDP	327.31
Creative Fabrica	10.06
Affiliate Earnings	51.58

The KDP screenshot is for the month of April:


The Creative Fabrica screenshot is for the month of April:


The Affiliate Earnings screenshot is for the month of April:


The total earnings for this month are $388.95.

I couldn't reach my target of $410 for this month (April). I have set my goal for May as $430.

Monthly Goals for May 2023 ($)

• Amazon KDP: 350
• Creative Fabrica: 15
• Affiliate Earnings: 65

You can ask me all your suggestions, questions, everything. I'm waiting for your answers.

Thanks. I started in March 2022. I didn't earn any money by the end of March. In April 2022, I earned $61 and in May 2022, I earned $78. Therefore, I can say that I reached my goal of earning $100 in 3 months.

So far, I have sold 1044 books. I have sold 109 copies of my best-selling book. Therefore, I have a wide variety of books that are being sold, but there are also some books that are not selling. I haven't created a table or data for this, but I think at least 50% of my books have been sold at least once.

You're welcome. You need to have a social media account or website for Amazon Associates.

How is it going? When doing this using Facebook groups, do you put product links directly in your post or just dm those who ask for the product link?
