The new KU means game over now for those outsourcing crap books. I'm really thankful that I steered clear of that, because a lot of people spamming shitty shorts from people in non-native countries are going to be screwed hard. Even my now catalog will probably take a major rip to income, but...

I never published 3 books per day... I was writing roughly 7k words per day or something like that which allowed me to publish roughly 3 books per week. It would be impossible for me to write 3 books per day, haha. I will say again that I think spending too much time on niche analysis is the...

Trust me, people who do Bookbubs get way better results than that... Lol. Many Bookbubbers are getting thousands of sales per day. Getting 40 sales/borrows per day on a book is actually pretty simple once you know what you're doing. It won't just happen on any book you want it to happen on...

The first mistake you're making is that you are looking at where your book "ranks" on Amazon by page. Amazons algorithm is nothing like Google's so trying to "rank" in on a certain page for a certain keyword is meaningless. Amazon has its own algorithm for relevance and there are several places...

I personally only use limited amount of formatting... When I first started I spent a lot of time Photoshopping images, making fancy line breaks and used different fonts, trying to make everything fancy, but that didn't really translate to sales. So I slowly cut that down and now I only spend a...

I'm glad to see that the tone of this thread has changed. Quite a few pages back I left with a bad taste in my mouth as it seemed like most were saying things like "Cover/Title/Keywords" is more important than the actual quality of the book. This was very poor advice which I'm sure lead a lot of...

Nah... This is wrong. Amazon does not determine search relevance by sales. I don't know where you are getting this info. If this were the case the book with the most sales would show up in the first position during a search for every keyword they have entered. This is NOT the case by any means...

This is actually very incorrect. Amazon does not show the books with the top sales at the top. By default books are showing by relevance, so the Amazon is calculating how relevant your book is based on a number of factors. My best theory is that they use CTR and % of impressions to sales/borrows...

I try to space my writing out throughout the day... I write 1k, then go off and do something, then write another 1k, go off and do something. It makes it a lot easier than trying to bang out 7k words at once. I also write maybe 3 or 4 books at once so I am not always working on the same thing...

I have something in the range of 32 books at the moment. I aim for maybe 7k words per day...

Sorry for the slow reply... I have been busy writing every day. I don't only publish fiction. I publish fiction and non-fiction across various categories. My first major bump was when stopped trying to keyword research and trying to write books that were similar to best sellers. I just stopped...

I'm already making $1k per day on my own. Why on earth would I need anyone else to do to continue scaling or publishing long term? If I hire a writer, I have to waste time editing. I can create a cover in less time than it takes to write a brief for a cover designer and twiddle my thumbs waiting...

Be realistic. No one with any talent is going to write a 10k word book for $100. It takes too much time and effort, and they know they can get more money from someone else. You might get lucky to find someone talented for $300-500, but most talented writers are going to charge around 6 cents per...

I published about 1 book every 2 days, but I was writing about 7k words per day on average. It wasn't easy... I didn't go outside much. My books are around 15k length on average, but a few times I published only every 3 days when I wanted to do some 20k books. I also took a few days to test 5k...

I will jump into this thread and add my experience, as I feel I am one of the most successful on the board so far. I published my first book on Amazon a little more than a month ago. You can look back in the thread and see that I was struggling for a while. Anyway, I'm now averaging 250...
