What You Need To Know About Amazon KDP by Ebube98(m): 7:33pm On Jul 01, 2022
The trend is growing and spreading. But no matter how easy it has been presented to you. Please be ready to roll up your sleeves and work.

Now here's a brief:

Amazon is an Ecommerce store that sells a whole lot of things on a global scale. They also have a section dedicated to selling books too.
Creating an account on Amazon to publish your books is completely free. Uploading your books is completely free.
When you make sales Amazon deducts a percentage for taxes (maximum of about 30%) and gives you the rest.
Now, publishing books on Amazon is the easier part. Making sales isn't that easy. You don't just publish ANY kind of book on Amazon and expect people to buy.

People go on Amazon KDP to buy books they feel will be interesting. So if you don't publish what people want to read... Your book will sleep on Amazon without sales.
There's also a part of Amazon KDP where you publish low-content books.
Could be:

A collection of short stories

A collection of facts

You could summarise books with larger volumes into 7 paged E-books

Workbooks for kids

Diaries and activity/log books

Kiddes comic books

These are samples of books that are selling crazily on Amazon.

Publishing books like these do not really require intensive writing... Just know what the market needs and know what to do.
There are also a bunch of other things you need to know, like:
Writing books in niches that are profitable.

Picking the right titles and description. Using keywords that have been picked to ensure your books position properly when people search for books.

Picking the right cover design for your books
Picking the right price for the right kind of book

These are aspects of Amazon KDP that can control the emotions of people and make them buy your book.
You also need to know stuffs like how to write books around trends. Just the way bloggers and YouTube creators write books around trends. Books created around trends sell a lot more.

How to advertise your book and not only depend on organic traffic.
Well... These and more are things you need to know Shaa.

Problem is, I've heard people talk about reading around Amazon KDP and watching YouTube videos.
Cool... I've watched a lot too, but except you're willing to spend a whole lot of time doing intensive research on these things.

You might not even know that they could be the reasons those books you have on Amazon have not sold more than $5 in the past 5 months.
My recommendation: Get a good course. I don't sell any but you can email me for some recommendations.

If you feel this was worth the read, share to make other aware.
