    Updating Createspace paperbacks was a problem - they were not selling during the update, so I lost some sales. Metadata (title information) had to be modified by them. I hope they will maintain their Amazon rankings, by being linked to isbn numbers or kdp titles.

    Yeah, this actually is my current problem. But I have done some thinking during last weekend and the holidays and I come up with some answers. 1. I will close my current non-fiction pen name at around ~25 books + bundles of them. 2. Then I will jump into subcategory of romance and try...

    My goals

    I have KindleSpy, it's helpful but not necessary. I use it to get popular keywords from a list of titles, and to check sales ranks of competition. It saves time but can be done manually, and the money could rather be spend on outsourcing next book. I have also started to track my books there...

    Its couple of hours per month when automated :) You need to get reviews on them. I'm getting them during KDP free promo, I the promo for 5 days for each new book and I get people to download them for free and review (I have a VA who gets me those reviews). Also if you manage to get lots of...

    Looks like its more AMA than progress thread :D Progress: Today I am updating all my Digital an Paperback editions with more links to each other. I have had that before but it's getting an update, as well as the message that invites the reader to review the book. (21/21) I am adding social...

    Yes, Im using oDesk and Elance, but also I have used writing service outside of those portals. Yes. You need to make sure that one author name specializes in a specific niche. It would be questioned when he/she would write on diet advice, car mechanics, gardening and forex. I always make sure...

    I cannot risk that at the moment. Sadly I have no time and money to spare. I have to do what I know that works and make more of it. In other words, if I would fail with a business idea right now, I would have to do a few steps back with my life which I don't want to do. I sacrificed too much...

    KDP and Createspace, 1/4 of book sales are paperbacks. I would like to create audiobooks as well, but I need to research options and costs. I am going for both. Trying to maximize profits through books and I use them as funnels to build email lists. I have gathered around 150+ emails but...

    Hey everyone! I have decided that I need accountability and support, so I'm going public with my goal and hopefully it will have some kind of effect on me, more pressure and motivation. $24,000 monthly is my goal for F.U. money and I want to have it with the end of this year. After 2 years of...

    That is very nice of you. I wonder where you can hire a trusted translator, how much does it cost per word and which languages are worth it? I guess it is good to start with those countries that are listed in KDP. I've seen someone doing very well in Brazil. How do you release a paper bundle...

    I have 21 non-fiction books and I'm doing 5 days free promotion on each of them every 3 months. During those 5 days I've been getting reviews, posted the book on a few sites and facebook groups. Each book could get 500 to 1500 downloads and few email signups. However, it looks like those free...

    Hello Charnell, What are you strategies for promotion for each book? What do you do with each one after you publish it? Do you invest in marketing later on? If books do not sell you may try changing them price to be permanently free to lead more readers into your work and then put links to...

    Hello Knight Writer, How many books do you have right now? I'm in non-fiction with 21 books and I also suffer from checking my daily sales every day. Days when sales are over 15 I feel confident, and when they drop my motivation drops! :D Also, I feel like I'm not doing something or doing...
