The total earnings for this month are $509.88.

My earnings have seen a significant increase, so I'm happy, but I haven't been able to fully accomplish my goals of creating a website and setting up my second Etsy store yet. I plan to finish these tasks within this month. For my second Etsy store, I've identified the products, created the store, and prepared things like logos, but I haven't published any products yet. As for my website, I've recorded the topics I'll be writing about in an Excel sheet, installed a few plugins, and also added a plugin for a quiz. I've published one article, but there's still a lot to be done.

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

UPDATE 10 (05.11.2023)

The KDP screenshot is for the month of October: ($471.72)


The Creative Fabrica screenshot is for the month of October: ($3.82)



The Affiliate Earnings screenshot is for the month of October: ($21.57)


The total earnings for this month are $497.04.

I haven't made any profit from the website yet. I earned about $100 from my Etsy shop, but I used that money for advertising, so I ended up spending what I earned. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to effectively advertise on Etsy.

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

Do you do activity books Good look your Journey!..

Thanks.

I used to create many activity books in the past. Now I prepare 1-2 per month.

Where do you get your knowledge to write KDP Book? thanks

 

[nobody66]

Good luck
I think is good to start this kind of journey

 

[blackbeans]

My books mostly have low content.

Can you explain this more fully?

Puzzle books? Adult coloring books? Kids' books?

 

[Greene]

Good luck, I’m following your journey with great interest.
I’m amazed with the number of books you have.
How to you manage so many on Amazon? Do you use multiple pen names?

Where do you get your knowledge to write KDP Book? thanks

Since the topics are different in each book, I am examining different information and not continuously benefiting from the same information. Therefore, I can't specifically say something.

Good luck

Thanks. Please keep me informed as you start sharing updates, as I would be delighted to follow along with your journey.

When I started my journey, I used to create coloring books and notebooks. However, currently, I rarely produce low-content books and notebooks. For instance, I occasionally still create some notebooks in niche areas where competition is low.

However, I would not recommend creating content in highly competitive niches, as it will be nearly impossible to compete with others. Instead, I suggest focusing on very niche topics.

Thank you for your positive comments. You are welcome to use as many pen names as you like. I also have a few myself. If you prefer, you can publish all of them under a single pen name as well.

I originally quoted your statement that you produce LOW CONTENT books. So which niche topics ARE LOW CONTENT but are low competition?

What method do you use to find these?

Oh thank you! I will inform you when I post my Journey

What method do you use to find these?

I advise not focusing only on general topics. For example, if you only create a general coloring book, you will have too much competition and most likely will not be able to compete with them. Instead, choosing a niche topic, you may have more success. (For example, a Halloween coloring book.) You can make the topics even more niche. I do not use any special program to search for topics, I just write down topics that come to my mind from the Amazon site and do competitor and sales analysis.

You mentioned that you will be using Lemon squeezy for direct sales of your books. Have you tried this and how did it go?
Are you still using the Uption app to receive your Amazon payments, have you had any issues with it?
It's also impressive to see your progress in your journey.

 

[james.95]

So do you sell just your own books
Good luck btw

How do you do competitor and sales analysis? Sales rank?

Thanks. I try to only add updates to my methods that earn me at least $1. Therefore unfortunately I did not earn any income directly from lemon squeezy or direct sales, but it is still a target of mine.

I did not have any issues with the Uption app, they even made a few updates and now it has become a faster application. For now it suffices, if I find another app in the future, I can use that as well.

So do you sell just your own books
Good luck btw

Yes. Thanks.

How do you do competitor and sales analysis? Sales rank?

Best Sellers Rank (BSR) < 300.000
Results < 1500

I came up with this kind of formula myself and I use it. You can use it if it suits you, I think this ranking target could be good for an average writer. However, some authors want to write books on more general or much more niche topics, so these rankings can vary quite.

 

[blackbeans]

Results < 1500

Thank you for the guidance but I'd like to know what you mean by the above? Results of #s books?

 

[William Waltman]

You're making about $500per month then it's so good
I will follow up your journey
Keep it up and best of luck with KDP journey mate
