Wow, what an inspiring video! It's incredibly motivating to see your hard work with Amazon KDP paying off, especially in December 2023. Your transparent sharing of your income report not only provides insight into the potential of KDP but also inspires others to pursue their dreams. Keep up the great work, and I'm excited to see your continued growth and success in the future!
Thanks!
Amazing Kim, what a great result! I wish you continued and growing success in 2024. And thank you for sharing the beautiful poem. So sorry to hear about your loss, and how right you are about making the most of our lives while we can. Sending you hugs. ❤
Hey there Nuria! Thanks so much for the love. Glad you liked the poem. Looking forward to seeing your results and wishing you much success this year.
Kim!! This is absolutely amazing!!!🎉 Congrats on your success!! Well deserved. All your hard work paid off!! Your transparency is also appreciated! Great vid.
Also, sorry for your loss. 😢
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear about your awesome results at 11:22. I'm truly sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace. Your poem is beautiful. At 72 years old, I've discovered a passion for creating journals, notebooks, planners, and more. My family is amazed by my creations and believes I manifested these great books. I can hardly believe it myself. Thanks to Kim for the easy step-by-step guide on creating low-content KDP books! Feel free to use this post to inspire others. A.M. Perkins is my pen name! 💐👌🏾😍
You are very welcome!
Sorry for your lost Kim. You know our Lord and Savior had a job for her THAT ONLY SHE COULD FILL. I’m sure she was a beautiful person. He only wants the best in his kingdom 🙏🏾 Congratulations on your Income Report and thanks for sharing 😊❤
Amen to this Phyllis! She was really a great person. Im at peace and God confirmed to me that she is in his hands. Just shocking.
@@YourChicGeekYes Gone Too Soon 🙏🏾❤️ May she rest in peace
Thank you so much for sharing - The Dash - thought provoking and inspiring. Many blessings to you, sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing Kim! So sorry for your loss. Sending so much love to you and your mentors family
Thanks ladybug. I wanted to personally tell you Im very proud of what you are doing with your business. Keep up the great work.
@@YourChicGeek That meansss sooo much coming from you!! Tear! 😭
Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful December results. I hope that you feel good. I appreciate your poem and it's beautiful.
Awww thank you soo much for the donation. Really really appreciate it. May God bless you and glad you liked the poem.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Definitely aiming for a month end like this.... Big hugs on the recent news ... and happy new year!
Awww thanks so much!
Can we talk about your low ACOS? Would be great to do a deeper dive on your AmazonAds strategy.. I made ~$18k for Dec the bulk coming from 8 books, but my ACOS has never been that low.. Congrats 🎉
Again would love to understand your approach.. thank you!
Sure thing! I’ll make a video soon to talk about some of the strategies I use. Also congrats on $18k! Thats amazing!!!
Thank you for sharing it's interesting that our Q4 December was only $23 and I believe our November was $25 so I don't know what we're doing wrong but thank you for sharing and I'm glad that somebody is doing it right
You will get there! Keep pressing onwards.
Wow! Your December earnings are seriously impressive! It's really encouraging to see your transparency about the ups and downs of Amazon KDP. Your video gives me a lot of motivation to continue investing my time and energy into self-publishing. Thanks for sharing your journey, your success is truly inspiring! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next income report.
You can do it! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful words and poem. So very true. So sorry for your loss. Keep up the good work...
Thank you!
Congrats Kim! Thank you for sharing your December earnings and also that beautiful poem at the end.
I consider you a Kdp mentor of mine from a far 😇 I had my best December yet as well. I 3x’d what I made last December w Kdp which is still mind blowing to me as well!! Your videos have helped me a ton the past year especially the ones about ads and ad strategy.
I’m so glad to be in this space and grateful that people like you are in it too 🎉
Hello there! This is great to hear and thank you sooo much for the support.
So sorry for your loss, Kim. Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem in memory of your friend. I will keep the dash in my thoughts daily. 💜
Thank you so much!
Hi Kim, I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you with peace xoxo
Thanks so much! May God bless and keep you as well.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Hey Kim, Happy New Year - but I'm sorry for your loss and that's a beautiful poem, thank you for sharing it. It's also a good reminder. Congratulations on your December, great result! It seems like a lot of people had their best month this year! Which is so interesting, considering the royalty decrease and so on. Have an awesome 2024!!! x
Heya Nat! How are you ladybug. I appreciate your support and im glad you liked the poem. I hope youre feeling better and I know you are crushing it on KDP. Cant wait to see your income reports. They always motivate me. :-)
@@YourChicGeek Hey, thank you very much. Feeling better now, but also we just moved house and had various things that sent me a little off track after that! I'm trying to get back to RUclips in the next week or so, I hope! Xx
Cha ching! Well done Kim 🎉
Thanks so much Ben! Im always inspired by your KDP success and kudos to you for crushing it.
@@YourChicGeek You’re the best Kim ❤️☺️
Well done Kim 🙌🏾, really happy to see you succeed. Sorry for your loss, thanks for sharing such a lovely poem! All the best for 2024!
Thanks so much Danny! I appreciate your support and love seeing that you are crushing it as well. Wishing you all of God's absolute BEST in 2024 too :-)
Your templates are amazing
Awww thank you David!!!
@@YourChicGeek True story. I found them very useful. I was struggling to get a sense on how to design a cover journal, and upon buying your templates (great investment) my eyes opened an entire path of possibilities in terms of cover creation showed up and for that I am grateful. I made 1 sale. Its the beginning but I'm hopeful
So sorry Kim for your loss, and we really appreciate you for squeezing out time to make this video for us. ❤
Happy New Year to YOU!!!! Sending loving energy your way! Congratulations Kim! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you as well.
Im so sorry for your loss 🥺💖🙏But thank you so so much for sharing that poem with us! What a great new perspective 🙂💖🙏
And congrats on the income youre killing it!
Thanks so much Audrey! Sometimes I honestly debate whether or not to share income/results bc I know that people struggle with making sales. But...I hope that this shows that it is possible. Now I am just focusing on getting things to level off because after Q4 is over, my sales drop wayyy down. So it definitely pays to create a business that is more consistent over time.
Thank you for this channel. Can you make a video on getting started with kdp and guide on how to get started using it.
I will put that on my to do list. Thanks for the recommendation.
Loved seeing this Kim. Thanks for sharing as always, and great to see your continued growth! I think a lot of our learnings from the month line up too, which is always great to see - my Australia ads were incredible too, will definitely be more aggressive there in Q4 2024.
Thanks so much! I was definitely shocked with the earnings this year. Super grateful. And Kudos to you because you totally crushed it. Heres to making 2024 EPIC.
Congratulations! I've been following you a while and learned so much from your suggestions and tutorials. Thank you for sharing, and well done! 💛 Luv from Chicago!
Awww thanks so much! I appreciate the support.
WOW! This is amazing ! This is great!
Thanks so much, Kim!
Yw!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful poem.
You are so welcome
Highly recommend Kim's course.. she is the real deal 😊
Awww thanks so much! I be trying to yall :-)😂😂😂😂
Congratulations Kim and thank you for sharing.. You did a great job. I'm so sorry of your loss. I liked the poem so meaningful...
you are an inspiration!
Hi, great video helps a lot watching your videos I published my first 2 books. Sorry for your lost as well. 🙏🏾
Hey there! This is awesome to hear. Congrats on publishing your books. Wishing you all the best this year.
Love the poem!
Thanks ladybug. Its def one of my favs…
Thank you for sharing, and sorry for your loss Kim 🙏🏿
Thank you!! December 2023 was my best month yet as well, but only with a fraction of your royalties. Looking at your KDP Champ stats, some of them are just amazing. It looks like you maintain around 15% ACOS? I gotta watch more of your videos to find out more of what you're doing; just fantastic KDPing
Thanks so much! Yep my ACOS was pretty good for December and its bc more people were buying books. I know it will go up over the next few months though since Christmas is over so I am mentally preparing for it. Glad you had a great month :-) and thanks for the support.
@@YourChicGeek Of course. Also, I wasn't expecting a "moral of the story" at the end of the video when you talked about your friend/mentor, but that was the best part. God bless you; puts the rest of it in context - your friend is survived by you being a mentor to us here on RUclips :) 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing. Very good informations. Proud of your accomplishments. l'm a newbie and look forward to learning from you.
Thanks for watching and welcome aboard!
Thank you so much! Very useful content.
Good news and bad news. Happy for your earnings, sad for your loss. Take heart please sorry for the loss wish you more earnings in future. Keep up the good work I appreciate.
Congrats Kim!
Thank you Kent!
Very compliments👏I published 25 books and only 5 sold😭
Great poem.. I felt it 😢
Thank you! Yep its one of my favs.
I get a little jealous of the low Australia ACOS; KDP Erik gets that too. My top niche doesn't seem to do that well in Aus. Maybe I can find another niche that can perform in Aus like that; not all do
Yep! Its all about testing. I was pleasantly surprised with my AU results. Will definitely keep running ads there.
Wow! Awesome numbers! How do you sell to different markets? Do you sell the same books? I was contemplating about that but what stops me is that some words are spelled differently in American English and in British, Australian English. Sometimes some items are called differently. E.g. pants vs. trousers, sneakers vs. running shoes etc. How to do handle such cases? I don't want to create two versions of the same book and correct such words in them.
Btw, even if I choose US market as the primary market, aren't the books supposed to appear in all markets automatically? At least, at the last stage of the book uploading process when I enter the price of the book it gets recalculated for all markets in respective currencies.
These are great questions! I will be addressing this in an upcoming video.
Thanks for the video!
Do books have shelf lives? What I mean is maybe certain books that were once good sellers for you start to peter out after a while?
How about the other way...do you find that books that weren't great movers suddenly gain in popularity unexpectedly?
Thanks!
I would love to know your secret for doing the 7 KDP keywords. I just can’t crack it.
Hi kim, can you do something to impruve the sound quality?
Will try to do better…My other videos sound a lot better than this one. Thanks for checking this out.
That is amazing. I noticed you have 528 books. How long did it take you to write all 528 books?
Hey there! This is a great question. It took me some years to get to this point tbh. Definitely wasnt an overnight process at all. But I will say that there are folks out there that are killing it with way less books so please dont think that you need this many books to make good $$$.
@@YourChicGeek Thank you. Those are encouraging words. Now I just have to get my writing confidence up. I have several books in me that my spirit wants to get out. 🙂
Wow. Sorry for your lost. How much are spending a day to get these results? I have 2 coloring books im pushing.
Hey there! So for Q4, I spent upwards of around $50-$70 a day to get these results and trust me...I tried not to check as it gave me heartburn. lol!
@@YourChicGeek LOL. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, that will make me nervous but im willing to try.

so how many books or journals should I sell in one month?
That depends on how much you want to make. What is your income goal?
I was wondering…. When im marketing my kdp books, can i also add my affiliate code to the link that im promoting?
Does sales normally drop off in January? I had to turn off my ads. No sales this month
Yes they do for most folks. Mine have dropped off but I expected them too after Q4 was over. Hope that helps.
@@YourChicGeek Thanks for responding!

Sorry about your friend….🙏
