Hey sean, Thank you so much for your videos, how much money do i need for ads?? I am thinking about starting creating on kdp and my budget is limited, less than 200$ , will it be enough to start up ??
@@donnerjacob567 CSV means "comma separated value" file, which is a way of exporting and importing almost any kind of data, for example lists or spreadsheets. Look up an explanation on RU-vid of what a CSV is and how they work... you are sure to find some good videos
I started doing this earlier this year. I have seen success with my kids coloring activity books for Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day, Easter and Earth Day. People have even bought books after the season is over. I linked them all in my A+ content
The thing about the Bookbeam estimated royalties per day is that it doesn't take into account the ad spend. Those books could be spending TONS on ads and that's why they are selling so much (even regardless of reviews). Also it doesn't seem to be accurate regarding print cost vs list price... I have a book out that only makes $0.35 royalties per book because it's printed in color rather than black and white, but bookbeam estimates that it's making $2 per book. (it also eshows the # of sales per day slightly higher than reality)
Thanks for exposing the truth sir…..I was just wondering why RU-vid creators always try and put all positives out there and pump your bread up instead of showing the negative side too. They all say, oh you can make hundreds and thousands of dollars and all you have to do is this and that and that’s it! 🙄…..or they try and lure you into buying their products or content or programs or something. 🙄
@@abovethefrey3681 Yes, they are affiliate marketing through all of their links in the description. Unfortunately, youtube is inundated with gurus just pushing products.
I sold on Amazon and they charged me a arm and a leg just to list one item. I remember them charging me $25 just top post one item. Amazon KDP charges 40% per sale so I doubt you are making much money. Thats probably why you are making YT videos to promote their affilate links.
Why is the CSV part so difficult?? I have a no idea why. I upload a list of 500 words and it says 80 words wtf. he glanced right over that part shieeeeeeeeeet
Just subscribed to your channel and I want to join your classes once I learn more from the free videos. Question...what's your advice when it comes to the ISBN and either paying for your own number or choosing a free number from Amazon. Does that screw you over in the long run by giving allowing Amazon to own your publishing number? I've heard buying ISBNs can be expensive
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing knowledge with us dear Sean. You're an awesome soul. God bless you young man. I'm a 64 year old lady living in Durban, South Africa. Love your channel. ❤😊
Please make a video on how to earn money by publishing fictional books in Amazon KDP. I'm very passionate about fiction and also write many good stories which I love so much. I love writing fictional stories on mystery, crime, sci-fi, thrillers, adventurous and fantasy and also novels. So please help me out here.
Wondeful, very informational video. Thank you so much for this brother. I just want to ask, where exactly can you see that "estinated royalty per day" part? I can't seem to find it.
Conclusion: On Eastern (christian event) holiday books with 1-2 reviews also going viral so you should make books when holiday is near. In this video, book bolt is used to make word search book on Eastern holiday.
Can you do a video detailing the various tools you use along with their pricing to get a better idea of the startup/monthly costs to create these sorts of goods?
My account has been terminated due to violations of terms and conditions of kdp but I am using AI image only ..I applied twice but got reply stating that your account can't be installed. I don't know what to do. Please help me
You can only start one account under your name, but you can start another one if you start an LLC. However, you can publish many different books in many different niches under one account. You just have to change the author name to match the branding for the books. Sean does recommend sticking to one niche though because it allows you to master the ins and outs of that niche and get better. Hope this helps. God bless!
How do you know what word lengths are appropriate for each age group? The book are on Amazon are broken down to so many age groups. Just 2 or 3 years between each book. Also does book bolt have mazes based on age or is it just a mix. I am considering buying……
Hey Sean, do you think these sellers are advertising A LOT to get this kind of drive and buy to their products? How are they getting seen through all the noise (i.e. millions of other similar products)?
I love your videos! I have created a few journals just to get familiar with the process. My issue is I am not receiving any emails from KDP saying they are live or if there is an issue. Any suggestions?
When I go to select the puzzles after importing csv, it does not allow me to select any puzzle. I created 100 pages and file has 500 words. The error after I submit says “page templates: no solution page selected” what should I do?
you need to select solution pages. Play around with a bit, if not there is a FB group you can join for support (in one of the upper tabs while in studio) and a support email
I have been following amazon kdp guidelines to create books thats are live and of recent they just started blocking books, why? So many of my friends experience this. And they block books mainly on new account that have some live books. Why is it so?
Will sell for a month leading up to the holidays, during which you can make thousands. Then next year it will sell again without having to make a new book, then you can target many other holidays
It already was flooded as you saw in the video with 2 star average book 😂 the point was that you can still make money with that so it’s a beginner friendly way to start
You are so motivating! I wanted to start publishing low content books but most people on RU-vid talk about how it doesn’t bring in Any money. Your mindset is so beautiful and amazing and I’m willing to only check your content to learn about Amazon kdp
Maybe I didn't pay close attention when watching this video but not sure I got the point: creating low content books for upcoming holidays is a well-known thing, nothing new about it, am I missing something?
Hi Sean, I have been following you for a few months, and I would like to start creating content books, but do I have to make a Pen name, and how do I market my books? please and thank you in advance
