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

[umo98]

Thank you for detailed explanations. What kind of books do you consider to be "high quality"? Are coloring books included in the scope you mentioned or would you say short story books and nonfiction novels?

I know that coloring books are considered medium content books. Sometimes coloring books are also considered low content. Writing and labor intensive books are generally called high quality books. There is no 100% definitive definition of the terms here, but the basic rule is as I said. As a general rule, a maximum of 1000-2000 competitors and an average ranking of 300 thousand is a good method. You can check out my e-book for more detailed information

@umo98 I have few points:

1. Would you mind creating video proof of your income?
2. What type of books do you create?
3. Amazon blocks so many books recently. Have you got such warning yet?
4. Do you use AI to create your books? If yes then share your experience like which site you use, how do you clean your images etc

 

[umo98]

@umo98 Birkaç noktam var:

1. Gelirinizin video kanıtını oluşturmanızda bir sakınca var mı?
2. Ne tür kitaplar yaratıyorsunuz?
3. Amazon son zamanlarda çok sayıda kitabı engelliyor. Siz de böyle bir uyarı aldınız mı?
4. Kitaplarınızı oluşturmak için AI kullanıyor musunuz? Eğer öyleyse, hangi siteyi kullandığınız, resimlerinizi nasıl temizlediğiniz vb. gibi deneyimlerinizi paylaşın.

1) I will not send video proof. I already sent one video evidence to the moderators here when I was putting up my e-book for sale. It is up to you to believe it or not. I have no intention of convincing anyone specifically.
2) I do not divide books into genres and subjects. I prepare every book that I see potential and that I can earn money for. However, I do not produce books that require a lot of professional knowledge. Because misleading people on this subject can have serious consequences. I do not want to take on this responsibility.
3) No. I did not receive such a warning. As long as you follow the rules, your books will not be blocked. You need to read the rules seriously. (I had received a trademark warning once before, but I solved that problem too.)
4) Not always but sometimes I use AI. I usually use chatgpt or claude. I use canva pro for most book related processes

 

[problogger99]

But its not clear what type of books you mainly produce. notebook, journal, coloring, log book, high content non fiction, fiction etc.

I am currently producing high-content books. And most of my income comes from high-content books. It is very difficult to make money with notebooks

I got the book and let me tell you all this is by far the best KDP related book ever written. I know its a bold statement but I am publishing kdp books for more than 12 years and I can say that this is really an amazing guide. It is over 300 pages and so detailed. You all should get it then may print it, take notes then slowly jump into the action.

Thank you very much. I hope it was very useful for you. You can ask any questions you may have both here (blackhatworld) and by e-mail.

Also, if you comment on the main sales topic, it would be a great support for me:

The Affiliate Earnings screenshot is for the month of December: (19.04)
View attachment 409392

The total earnings for this month are $5815.32.

I am still working on the website (for my ebook). I will also start an affiliate program ($100 per sale). Most likely the whole process will be over in 2-3 days. and I will send it to the blackhatworld site for approval most likely on Wednesday. I will inform you about the approval processes etc. here. You can ask any questions. I will try to answer as much as I know. Happy New Year to everyone

UPDATE 25 (04.02.2025)
The KDP screenshot is for the month of January: ($1545.05)


The Creative Fabrica screenshot is for the month of January: ($0.36)


The Affiliate Earnings screenshot is for the month of January: (61.04)


The total earnings for this month are $1606.9.

My plans:

• Increase sales of my e-book about Amazon KDP (current goal is to reach 10 sales per month - so far, I've sold my book 4 times)

I'm also selling my book about Amazon KDP on the Blackhatworld website. You can find the details here:

https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/e...zing-your-digital-publishing-revenue.1676310/

• Create a digital PLR product store and run Meta ads (I've almost completed this) (aiming for a 30% monthly profit margin, and I'll scale up when I reach this target, with a goal of $1000 monthly profit)
• Produce 10 books per month for Amazon KDP
• Reach a steady monthly income of $2000 for Amazon KDP
• I'm also making cryptocurrency investments. I plan to cover all my expenses, including the costs of changing countries and moving, using the profits from these investments. By the end of this year, I aim to reach my goal and move to another country. (I have a target of increasing my main balance by 4-5 times in USD terms. Perhaps I can mention this as a separate journey depending on demand, or I can write about it here once I reach my goal.) --> (5000 dollar to 20000-25000 dollar)

 

[umo98]

good luck and looking You The Best With This Journey!....

Thanks a lot

I tried KDP for a short time, in 2023 and I saw that there is potential. Unfortunately amazon did a mistake and suspended my account - but after some emails, and 3 months passed, they reopened my account. But then, I lost ranking of my book from being top 3 in its main keywords to pages down. That book alone, was profiting me 500€/month (spending 500€ in ads or something like that)



I want to get back to it, but it's so hard to compete with people who buy reviews. Do you buy reviews? How?



Btw - there are different strategies of selling your ebook course. For example, you can create a twitter account in which you link to this thread and update also there. At the same time, you follow/unfollow whoever follows other guys who are selling KDP courses. Same can be done on instagram.



Also you can try to post your product on gumroad and write proper sales copy there with SEO + ads you might get profits.

Thanks. If there are few competitors, sometimes you can sell books without reviews. You can focus on that.

Also, the journey will be updated on Monday. I don't have time to update right now. I will write a detailed update tomorrow

Good luck on your journey, it is a really nice journey to follow. How much of your Kdp earnings goes to advertising, do you have any books that you can sell completely organically without any advertising since the beginning?

 

[painzane]

Hello there! Congratulations on your success. I would like to know how many hours per day you dedicate to your work with KDP. How many hours per day did you spend when you first started this project? When did you begin generating significant revenue? And how many hours do you work on it now?

 

[umo98]

I will try to answer your questions tomorrow. I am a little sick right now. I will try to answer in detail as much as I know. Good luck to everyone.
