Journey to $1500/Month With KDP, Apple iBooks and more Before 31 March 2024

[jeronymo29]

I finished the book and it is currently 331 pages. (Turkish version) Now I will write the summary. Then I will translate it into English. And finally I will make it ready for sale. I am planning to publish it in the new year if there is no problem. At the latest 1 week after the new year I will sell the book here. (blackhatworld)

You can always ask all your questions

Good luck with your book sales and happy new year 2025. May all your wishes come true and be even more successful.

I am still getting through the thread but if you're around, could you talk about if you did any marketing, bought ads from Amazon, did social media marketing etc? Does any of your income get turned into ad purchases?

I am running some ads and doing some promotions for free using Facebook groups. I think the return on ad spend was around 150% this month. This rate will be finalized within 1 week after this month and I can write about it. I also gave information about this in my book. So far this month I have made around 3200 dollars. (as profit) However, I am not in a position to check it from my computer right now so I am sharing the average numbers with you.

solid results! i have a few questions.
1- In your opinion, can someone still sell organically in 2025 or is ad spend always needed?
2- Do you share your Amazon store in the book you will sell?
3- Will your kdp journey end after selling your ebook on bhw?

Thanks.

1) Of course, it is possible to make sales with organic sales. But advertising is a useful process to speed up this process. Also, thanks to advertising, you can reach a situation where advertising + organic sales are achieved.
2) I did not share my own store in my book. However, there are many examples in my book where various people's books are examined from different perspectives.
3) My journey will continue for years. I will stop if I retire

Good luck with your book sales and happy new year 2025. May all your wishes come true and be even more successful.

Happy New Year to you too. I hope everything we strive for comes true. I wish you the best too.

Happy New Year to everyone. I finished my book and finished the writing processes in English and Turkish. Now I am preparing the website. I aim to publish it here as soon as possible.

I will write about updates tomorrow. I am continuing to build the website for my e-book. I am progressing slowly because I have never built a website with WordPress before, but that is okay. I plan to finish everything within a week. I will give more detailed information about it. I will also sell the e-book here very soon. You can stay tuned.

Hey man, really cool to see your journey. What is your topic-picking process when writing a book?

Hey man, really cool to see your journey. What is your topic-picking process when writing a book?

I don't have a specific rule. All subjects / topics with few competitors and high demand

Hey man, just started following your journey and your growth since 2022 is inspiring. Not sure if you've already answered this question, but are you using any tools that can help you find book niches with low competition/high demand? Thanks!

Thank you. Maybe the journey will take a few more years. Sometimes I will have to take a break for 1-2 months to move, but I will provide information here at that time.

You can also use programs for this. I mentioned a few in my book, but they are paid. In general, a maximum of 1500 competitors and an average of 300,000-350,000 BSR will be sufficient.

Great results mate! I’m just about to start my KDP journey so are there any must-have tips for beginners? Is it better to write high-quality books from the start or better to get some experience with low content before that?
Thank you.

Thanks. A beginner should never give up easily. He / She may not be able to make money for the first 2-3 months, but then his earnings will increase over time. Also, it may make sense to produce low-content books to learn everything first. But you need to focus on topics that have very few competitors. Otherwise, you will produce low content books in vain

Is the decrease in your sales during the Christmas period related to your niche or should it increase more as we get closer to Christmas? I congratulate you on your journey, a journey I take as an example.

Thanks. Amazon's printers usually don't work during the holidays. When books aren't printed, the profits don't reflect. Also, when some technical malfunctions occur, the people who will fix them don't work much during the holidays. This is usually normal for such reasons.

A year ago, your target for December 2024 on KDP was $2,600, and you more than doubled it—WOW! You are truly an inspiration. I started KDP on New Year's Day (just 5 days ago) and look forward to following in your footsteps. Keep up the amazing work!
