Okay so I just tested a new keyword strategy last week and here’s the deal – most authors are still doing this completely backwards. They write the book first, THEN try to figure out who wants it. I did that for my first like 30 books and wondered why half of them made $12 total. […]

Okay so here’s what actually works with Amazon ebook publishing right now because I just walked someone through this whole setup last month and they’re already seeing sales. First thing – forget everything about “building an audience first” or whatever. That’s backwards for KDP. You find what’s already selling, you make something better or more […]

Okay so here’s the thing about journals on KDP right now – the competition is absolutely insane but that doesn’t mean you can’t make money, you just gotta be smarter about it than the people uploading generic “daily planner” number 47,892. 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.

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 […]

Okay so here’s the thing about low content books on KDP – most people overthink it and then wonder why they’re not making money. I tested like 30 different niches last quarter and honestly the winners surprised me. Start With What Actually Sells Not What You Think Is Cool You gotta look at what’s already […]

Okay so here’s the thing about Amazon KDP marketing that nobody really tells you upfront – it’s not like traditional marketing where you throw money at ads and hope something sticks. I spent like my first six months doing exactly that and burned through maybe $2k before I figured out what actually moves the needle. […]

Okay so I just pulled my Q4 numbers last week and the KU vs non-exclusive thing is still the question everyone’s obsessing over, so let me break down what actually works because I’ve been testing both strategies across like 40+ books now. The Basic Money Math Nobody Talks About Correctly Here’s the deal with KU […]

Okay so pricing on Amazon KDP is honestly one of those things where everyone overthinks it at first and then you realize there’s like… actually a system that works. I literally spent my first three months pricing everything at $2.99 because some blog told me to and yeah, that wasn’t great. The 70% Royalty Sweet […]
