It is difficult to say for sure, but I think I have about 30 or 40 high-quality books. I produced most of them in just 2 months.
I have always focused on keyword research, competitor analysis, and organic traffic. However, I think I should start focusing more on advertising now. I have conducted some experiments and found that ads perform better on high-quality books, but these books are actually quite difficult to prepare for me. I still want to reach my goal of having 50% of all my books be high-quality. Currently, my rate is around 5-6%.
I haven't increased my advertising expense much yet. So, I'm not adding it as a separate screenshot. Maybe I can add it if it increases in the future.

I found a few videos on how to create quizzes on Blogger, but they didn't look good quality. I also thought about creating a website with WordPress and I did this. I will first create a niche blog, then add quizzes to the menu. (The blog topic is related to some of my books, generally speaking it is about an animal) My revenue sources on the site will be as follows in brief: Advertising revenue (Adsterra, Admaven, A-Ads etc.), promotion of my books on Amazon, direct sale of some pdf books or images (with lemonsqueezy), Amazon affiliate, CPA (mylead) for some free pdf files (this method may not work, I am undecided whether to add it or not)
I just purchased hosting and domain. I don't have much knowledge about WordPress, but I'm watching all the videos I can find. It doesn't seem too hard. I purchased hosting from the isimkaydet website. Hosting + domain costs $21, which is the most affordable price I could find. However, I think the site is only in Turkish, so you may want to translate it to English before purchasing. Compared to Bluehost, it is quite affordable.

Did you pay 21 dollars for 1 year?

Yes, for domain + hosting. They were giving free domains for annual hosting (21 dollars) memberships. I think they made such a campaign for promotional purposes.

I don't know much about these things, but you can use wordprees infrastructure for free, right?

I will need some time to learn it, but I can use it now. There are many great plugins that will make my work easier.

Thanks. I will keep updating my progress until I reach my goal of $1500. After I reach that goal, I am thinking of adding two more goals. I think this whole journey will take about three years.

Hi mate, it's great that you haven't lost your stability for so long. If you don't mind Is there a reason you use lemon squeezy instead of sellix? If you have a perfect money account, I think you can receive payments using sellix and as far as I see on their page, they don't charge any fee for payment to perfect money. Also the most important thing I'm curious about is how do you plan to promote direct sales of your pdf books? Like sharing the URL you got from lemon squeezy on social media?

Thanks. I don't have a specific reason for using lemonsqueezy. I am just considering using it because they support direct transfers to Turkish banks (TRY). I don't have any information about Sellix, but I can check it out. I have a Perfect Money account, but I will need to figure out how it works because it doesn't work like a normal bank. I will not directly introduce the PDF books. I will prepare a blog about that PDF book and I will add the purchase links, banners or popups of the book to some parts of that blog and promote that blog. I will not do this only for my PDF books, I will do it for my books on Amazon and my products on Creative Fabrica, Etsy as well. In short, I am trying to collect my separate revenue methods in one place with the website. I will also try to increase the time spent on the site with quizzes.
However, I am currently considering making my website look good with WordPress and editing my second Etsy account. I will do these things later. There is still some time.

I don't have any special strategies for this. This is my profession. Therefore, I work on this topic for at least 8 hours a day.
I've never bothered to count the number of words in books, it's not important. I just look at the books that customers have bought a lot of on Amazon, and get ideas that way.

I am trying to write in all languages that I can speak. However, I usually write my books in English. I have also written some books in Turkish, German, and Russian. I have sold some books in these languages, but my sales are mostly from English books, around 85-90%.
