Introduction
Amazon
Kdp (Kindle Direct Publishing) is a self- publishing platform. That is, instead of you to pay a publishing
firm to publish your books for you, you can just publish it personally on
Amazon WITHOUT PAYING a dime to Amazon.
This
platform is own by one of the world richest man, Jeff Bezos. It is part of his
E-commerce store. With Amazon KDP, Jeff Bezos disburse about $10billion in
total for amazon KDP monthly. And all you have to do is upload your book, set
price and Amazon displays your book to its Millions of audience and you become
part of those having a cut from the billions he disburse every month.
Right
now, you're wondering that, how can I publish a book when I have no writing
skill.
Is this actually possible? Because the Challenges That Writers Face On
Amazon is beyond what Nigerians can handle and this always blur/poison their
mind when they start KDP.

The reasons why amazing is the new oil money
Here
are some of them reasons why you should do kdp business as a side hustle.
-
80% of people that buy from Amazon are US citizens. And larger percentage of the sellers are US
citizens as well. So as a writer, you must first build fame (popularity) first,
which is very difficult to do.
Whereas, you don't have to be famous before
you sell a journal or jotter.
Or
do you?
-
It takes more time to write many books because the more book you have, the more
you earn on Amazon.
A
writer will spend nothing less than a week on a book before it can become
perfect. But as a non-writer, due to low content, you can publish about 3-5
books daily. Or is there any paparazzi in creating a jotter?
-
They get frustrated easily. Because the more time you spend on one book, the
more boring it becomes. And mind you,
they also get frustrated because building fame requires more time and massive
efforts and funding.

Why you Are not makin sales in amazon KDP?
You
may write good content and beautiful book cover design but if you fail to
choose the right keywords and category, you will not make a sale.
And
these are my major kdp success secret.
1.
Keywords and
2.
Categories
1
. Keyword
If
you fail to put the right keywords in your Amazon kdp profile you will not make
sales.
I
started seeing results when I changed my keywords.
In
your profile you have opportunity to use 7 keywords, so choose the right
keywords and you will make more sales.
2.
Categories
Another
aspect where most authors get it wrong is the categories.
If
you choose the wrong category for your book you will not make sale.
Amazon
gives you opportunity for 2 categories but you can use up to 10 categories. This
will boost your exposure and get you more sales. Update these two aspect for
all your books and you will be amazed with the result. To know the right
caterigories for your book you need bookbolt to do the job for you.
But I don’t have a book and I cannot write
You do not need to know how to write or pay
anyone to write for you, there is away to go about it. It is dependent on your
ability to use tools and your initiative to develop unique contents for your
books. I will discuss this method as will continue this Amazon series.
You
don't need any form of advert or selling knowledge, Amazon is the one to do
that for you.
Even
if you have a 9-5 job or other businesses, this is the best side hustle for you
because you don't need more than 2-3hrs a day to create and publish a book.
You
can publish your book anytime you like and earn your money in dollars no risk
is involved. The most interesting part is that, Even if you stop publishing,
Your books keeps bringing in money for you.
Types of Books You Can Publish
There
are 2 major type of books we publish:

You
know I told you that you dont have to be a writer, that doesn’t mean you will
go and publish anything and expect it to sell fast,. nooo, you must understand
how the system of what people lookThis is where the work lies because you can
publish something that won’t sell for years if u dont understand how this works
and get tips on how to do it. Then after
defining your niche, you can make research on the trending topics around it using the proper keywords out for in Amazon .
Now,
let assume that you want to create a book on " How to be a good wife"
Remember I told you that you don't need to
know how to write you don't have to
be Aristotle, Chinua Achebe or other
prolific-writers
Then this is the secret
Just
go to Google type " How to be a good wife”
Copy
as much information as you can
Check for plagiarism, using quillbolt,
grammerly and make sure is 100% free and unique, do the editing and
paraphrasing, then design a back cover for it using Canva.
But
mind you, you don't have to do all these by yourself. There is an app just as
mentioned earlier that will check the plagiarism, do the editing and
paraphrasing for you. In conjunction
with another app which will help you in designing your book cover. Then your book
is ready for Publishing.
It is that simple and straightforward, anybody
with half brain can do this and make alot of dollars with it, but you have to
understand how it works.
Now
imagine yourself creating 1book per day. In this article, I will provide you
with tools you can use to get everything done, and I will be listing them below
and good news is that you will get them free if you follow my instructions;
-Free

books for publishing without spending a dime on anything (content creators pay
huge amount to get their hands on this).
·

Premium Canva Pro to design the interior and exterior part of your books
professionally (Graphic designers pay as much as N30,000 yearly to have this).

you needed to scale through and make your sales is access to Free
Premium Quillbot to edit and paraphrase your books professionally for
uniqueness after creating your books.
keyword research that make your book sells
Another
method you can used to create your own unique books free from plagarism is by
doing a keyword research.
How
to do keywords research you visit Amazon website and search for anything else
you want to write for example you want to write about the relationship. Search
relationship in Amazon website and see what auto fill in the website. That's
what people are searching for. You can type that same keywords in Google and
you will see for yourself what auto fill in the search bar. That's how to know
if your keywords are profitable.
To
further strengthen your keywords research you need to use bookbolt website
where you can search that same keywords then it will show you the low
competitive keywords, they are always indicated green. So pick only seven (7)
non competitive keywords from there. This is what will make your book sell and
in a short time you will become a best seller author.
After
getting your keywords ready. It's time to brainstorm within the seven (7)
keywords and fill in all that keywords in the book you want to write manually.

will revealed this in my next article.
