Okay so I just ran the numbers on like 30 of my books last week and the pricing thing is actually way simpler than people make it sound but there’s this one formula that changed everything for me. The basic deal is Amazon gives you two royalty options – 35% or 70%. Most people just […]
Okay so I just tested something last week with keyword stacking that actually moved the needle and I gotta tell you about it because most people are still doing this completely wrong in 2024. The Keyword Thing Nobody Talks About Look, everyone obsesses over the seven backend keywords but here’s what I figured out after […]
Okay so KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited, right? I was literally just looking at my dashboard last night around 2am because I couldn’t sleep and I’m gonna break down the actual reality of this thing. What You’re Actually Getting Into When you enroll in KDP Select you’re basically making a deal with Amazon. They get […]
Okay so pricing on Amazon KDP is honestly where most people mess up right out of the gate and I’ve been testing this stuff for seven years now so lemme just walk you through what actually works. The Royalty Structure Thing You Gotta Understand First Amazon gives you two royalty options and this is where […]

I was looking at my sales dashboard last Tuesday at like 2am (couldn’t sleep, […]
okay so here’s the thing about going digital-only with Kindle I just had this conversation with someone yesterday and honestly, most people overthink this. You don’t need print books. Like at all. I haven’t touched print in probably three years now and my income actually went UP because I stopped spreading myself thin. The main […]
Okay so pricing on KDP is honestly where most people just throw money away and don’t even realize it. I was literally reviewing one of my student’s accounts last week while my cat kept walking across the keyboard, and they had this coloring book priced at $3.99 when it should’ve been at least $6.97. Left […]
Okay so the ebook plus print bundle thing is honestly one of my favorite strategies right now and I just set up three of these last month while binge-watching The Bear season 2, so this is super fresh in my head. The basic concept is you’re not just uploading an ebook OR a paperback. You’re […]
