My friend and I have one book that's doing upwards of $500 a month, sometimes more, sometimes less. We just released our second with plans for many more down the road. We sell our books for $9.99. Never more, never less.
You must become an expert in a niche. Learn it inside and out. Write your own material and come at your niche from a completely unique angle. It takes alot of work.
Keyword research is vital and so is LSI.
Have websites to back it up and use all the skills you have to get this stuff indexed high. We are #1 on Google and #1 on Amazon for this niche. Drive sales to your book from every source you can find. As your sales increase, you will rank higher on Amazon.
I have also done some PLR nonsense books, just to see how it works. They didn't sell for crap and were eventually taken down as being too similar to other titles.
Do your homework and due diligence and it will pay off. Just keep pushing. There is so much to learn.
Remember you only sell books based on the cover (shiny sells!) and the description. And to some extent, the reviews. Get friends and family to put some good reviews up for you. We had someone in England post a bad review and sales increased! LOL!
We use blogger blogs and nuke/scrapebox the hell out of them driving up our other main blogs from within them. Google doesn't like to slap itself, so they have been rock solid for us.
Ping everything! Often! I don?t care what people might say about pinging. We see increases by doing this.
Get an Amazon associates account and be sure to always us the affiliate link for your book as the link on your sites/bloggers. You will pick up residual cash if people don't buy your book, but still make some other purchase.
Don't forget to put your books on Barnes and Noble's Nook also. We pick up around $50 - $125 per month from there. Sometimes nothing there though. Nook seems very rollercoaster-ish. But, it's still extra sales and that's all that counts.
Also, offer your eBook on your websites and blogs as a PDF download, you will pick up occasional sales this way too.
Put links in your book to products and affiliate sources. Just sneak them in here and there and don't forget to cross promote your other products/eBooks.
Our first book has been selling for over a year now and sales are ever increasing.
Good Luck!!!
