After 3 years of making books for KDP and watching hundreds of videos, I agree with everything you have said in this one. Thank you for consistently helping and advising us Corvin and Cleo :)
It's our pleasure. Thanks for the kind words. 🤗
You are so right. I have been publishing with KDP for years. I recognize everything you say. There are a lot of so called self publishing goeroes who make money by making video's and affiliate marketing. Not by writing books.
It's sadly true.
Thank you so much for such valuable information. I am from India.I have recently started kdp publishing. What you are sharing I am experiencing.
Hi to India. 😀🖐️. Glad you found this valuable. I think most people are experiencing this.
Thank you very much for being honest.
Welcome. I really felt something had to be said. Glad you found it useful.
Initially i thought i could buy a lamborghini someday with 1 coloring book...this video knocked some sense into me...
Well if you were to become Coco Wyo and kept that going for an extended period of time then you could. Last week or so they even got a deal with one of the biggest publishing houses for a Christmas edition Collab. So anything is possible. But this is a once I a few million chance (literally). But dream big. You'll get better results than not dreaming at all. But would also recommend to diversify. They so did. I think they have sold about 50,000 or so digital products on Etsy. Build a whole brand and with that brand have different channnels. But ya glad you got some sense again after an overload of false clickbait stuff.
Bro it’s possible to get rich from it easily with minimal effort too most of the videos you see are NOT clickbate it actually works you just need to get yourself a team to create books and get you pre launch reviews launch your book with ads after 2-3 months if everything is done well you will already be making profits and you have an expert team to create books for you just repeat process,I don’t what this guys on about discouraging people and YES you do need at least 10-30 reviews to launch a book would be sucide launching without them as your book will most likely fail
Don’t give up the dream of Amazon kdp you already have just cause of one video
@@rukevweharry7004 not true. After having sold 200,000 books reviews have certainly not played a major role.
Thank you for sharing valuable information with us. :)
My pleasure!
Exactly this! Some of the people on RUclips are very misleading! My book is being sold by around 50 or so retailers including Walmart, I am marketing and advertising and sales are STILL slow.
Ya Walmart is whole other story. Our best selling cookbook is getting sold on Walmart for the past few years. Also on eBay and other websites. Even found it in other countries. With your book you can change ebook title in case that needs optimization (not with printed version). You can also create an audiobook and hardcover versions and try Amazon marketing options with kindle unlimited and the other options. Those have helped us in the past to get overall more sales. Can also try creating blog posts on Google in your niche and work on getting those ranking and promoting your book in there. Just some thoughts of things that might be helpful to you. I have also made a video about reasons for low sales. Maybe there are some fruitful tips as well. Anyways, wishing you a nice weekend ahead. 🖐️🙂
@@SelfPublishingTitans thanks so much, that is very helpful. I will take all of that advice on board and I am a new subscriber :)
@@Holistic_Health_Nutritionist nice to have you here. Anytime you need help feel free to ask questions. 🙂

@@B.Wealth1 welcome. Hope it was eye opening 🙂
Thank you Corvin !! i watched your video till the end...at some parts i felt the pain of truth. I will use this video as my daily reminder. Who am i ? some asian guy from singapore. And yes..i have lifetime acc with self publishing titans. I wish you great success corvin !!
Hello to Singapore. Great place. Glad you got some truth out of it. That's what counts. Opening up to reality.
Thank you so much for this video. Could you please make a video about optimising Amazon ads
It's a pleasure. And sure. Also did a Amazon ads video a few weeks ago. Make sure to watch that one as well. 🙂
Do you have a video that shows how to do Amazon advertising correctly?
A few weeks ago I made a video about Amazon ads. I think it was 2 videos before this one. And longer ago also made a few.
You can also check out Chris Raydog. He has good KDP Ad videos.
@@SelfPublishingTitans thanks, I will check them out.
Can anyone suggest reliable RUclipsrs teaching KDP aside from this channel.
@@macavis3 curious to see what others say. Some RUclipsrs that don't tend to give unrealistic false promises or crazy clickbait are Paddy, Nuria, Ben(s), Rebecca, Rachel. There are others. These I have known the longest so I'm mentioning their names.
Sean Dowlett
@@macavis3 These are the most sincere KDP RUclipsrs I've come across:
Chris Raydog, RoyaltyWizard, Jenny Hansen Lane, Romney Nelson, DannyOnDemand, Tomass@BookBeam, Ben (MoneyontheSide).
A comment got deleted. I wonder why. The channels mentioned in that deleted comment aren’t reliable?
