Hi Dane, Thank You for this video. First time on your channel-- will check out more of your videos. I am a complete NEWBIE and feeling some in trepidation about publishing but I AM GOING FOR IT. So YES! I will try some of your strategies. Many Thanks again, Dane. 🙏🙏🙏
Hello, Latin writer here. I do it in Spanish. Thanks for your video. Question: do you think that KDP Select will be of any use to me in the long term? Should I unsubscribe if I'm already buying ads? All the best.
Thank you for all the info! Also you mentioned Canva and let me just say if it weren't for Canva I wouldn't have done three books in three weeks. You just search for a design pack and think of a short story that would go well with it and boom you're done before you know it. Btw your eyes are gorgeous.
I've been selling short stories on Kindle and released my first novel back in April (I write under D.W, Nathan). I've been looking for the best practices for selling books, and I have to say this video was a breath of fresh air. It's very difficult to find good information on how to sell a self published novel. There is more solid, clear info in the first 4 minutes of this video than 100 different websites and facebook groups. When I first released my novel in late April, I had some god sales and lots of readers on KU. Summer has been a slog, though. I can't tell you the relief I felt hearing you say that summer is typically a slow time. It's a great reassurance to know that it's not just me. As someone who writes his own novels, edits the novel, designs the cover, and markets the book, it's such a great help to come across a channel like this. My marketing plans are scattershot at best, so any guidance is such a help!
Thanks 🌎 very nice video. I became a writer at age 61 in Bogotá, Colombia. It is my way to overcome my reality as immigrant. It is the way to protest elegantly and reach the World. The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
Im happy to hear I’m already doing everything that you mentioned . I just started in September and just need to make those coloring books, I didn’t have enough time and trying to figure out those ads!!
A nice and helpful video for publishing books on Amazon. Give me some advice or direction what is the best way of writing books for the initial stage. Thanks❤
Dane, starting a KDP business in 2024. I have tried in the past and wasted time and money. I chose the wrong niche and subniche. So if you were me, and wanted to maximize this business where would you start? What category, what niche, what sub nice? What type (low, medium, high)? I cant make the wrong decision again.
You don't need to have so many books on kdp before you can start having sales All you need to do is implement the right and best marketing strategies. Have you perhaps implemented any before?
Congratulations on publishing five so far! 😊 I have published five coloring books myself so far, and made a few sales but not a lot. It takes research and good keywords. Maybe try ads? I did put some ads on my coloring books recently.
I thought you are not able to leave a review on a product you haven't purchased via Amazon link. Has that changed? Can anyone review anything now without buying it?
Helo. Thanks for this. It's helpful. I published a book, I see my orders up to 20 but no figure showing on my royalties estimator. It $0. Please what could be the problem. Did I do anything wrong
Thanks for this explanation. Its helpful. I published 2 books already, I see I have orders but no figure showing on my royalties estimator. It's 0.00. Is there a problem? Please I need an explanation
I want to publish my books in two languages but I am not sure if I would list them as Spanish Edition and English Edition and if I can use the same cover design and inside coloring pages and just change the language. Do you know about the guidelines? I didn’t find anything on kdp about it.
Hello bro, I would like to have your opinion on my case. With 50 books published on amazon kdp I manage to make 3 sales per month without advertising, so what do you suggest as a strategy to increase my sales. Thank you for your feedback!
Do you know if these strategies work for low content books like journals? Also I do have 1 interactive self care journal for women. Those who bought it like it but It's not selling. Any advice on how to make it more visible?
Okay, soooooooo, sounds like I am slow to catch on here, not an ebook reader myself, BUT are you saying that products like activity books sell WELL in e-book format? People are printing them at home?? Enjoyed the concise nature of this video, thank you!
Hi Dane I wanna ask about Christmas coloring books. We all know that there are tons of that kind of book, so my book will be one of probably 10-20k others. How would that sell good?
80% of your success will be based on 20% of your efforts. Conversely, 80% of the startup for KDP is easy as hell. The other 20% is based on how you tell people to sell. If you plan on just waiting for Amazon to feature your colouring books, you'll be waiting for years. I only have 37 books posted. only 3 sell, once in a while. I don't do anything to sell them though. Some of it is luck, but just posting and waiting is a bad strategy for any business.
In a way, definitely. Fiction is a different animal in the self publishing world and requires more of a 'following'/'audience' a lot of the time to do well.
You'd have to manually ship it to them using the "author copy" feature in KDP. I'd recommend sticking with PDF's manuscripts of your book if you're going to be sending people copies of your book for free.
I wanted to ask how to utilize to utilize A+ content sorry Like how do I do that in the publishing paperback aspect How do I as an author put out said A + content Sorry to disturb you

I write a book last year after watching RUclips videos and I don’t get any impressions on Amazon ads. Why? And before you answer, I’ve tried everything. I’ve also contacted Amazon. It’s a total joke. What other ways can I advertise my book that have a good potential to sell?
![Baby Kia - GLOVES & DRACS (BLACK AF1s) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ajm8LeB0qQk/mqdefault.jpg)
Will you be putting any of these strategies into use for Q4 this year? 🤔👇🏼
Many of us don't know it's possible to utilize those a+ contents. Dane, how do we do that?
How we can join with amazon

Thank you for the video that was very informative.
what if you miss 4th quarter launch -- should you just hold launching till the following year?
Thanks for the information. I can't seem to find your link for the DIY tutorials.
I have published 5 coloring books this month but no sale, how many coloring books should I have on kdp to show some sales
You don't need to have so many books on kdp before you can start having sales
All you need to do is implement the right and best marketing strategies.
Have you perhaps implemented any before?
Congratulations on publishing five so far! 😊 I have published five coloring books myself so far, and made a few sales but not a lot. It takes research and good keywords. Maybe try ads? I did put some ads on my coloring books recently.
what are the main categories we should create? health, love, leadership? do you have a study or data you can share?

I thought you are not able to leave a review on a product you haven't purchased via Amazon link. Has that changed? Can anyone review anything now without buying it?
This was my experience. Amazon would not let any of my ARC readers leave reviews on my book.
Id like to know how different publishing fiction vs publishing non fiction goes. Do you post on this
Helo. Thanks for this. It's helpful.

Please can you drop the link of your DIY video I can't find it. Thank you 🙏
great video BTW. Do you recommend paying people on upwork to help promote your book?
What about all do the costs from KDP??
Where are you posting the A+ content?
Does anyone know how to get reviews for books, such as activity books not ebooks. thanks
How can people leave a review on your book if they haven't paid for it on Amazon?
Okay, soooooooo, sounds like I am slow to catch on here, not an ebook reader myself, BUT are you saying that products like activity books sell WELL in e-book format? People are printing them at home?? Enjoyed the concise nature of this video, thank you!

But writing I think, you have to like it, so other people like it. It’s different then any other business ..

REGARDING A+ Content - Many Amazon advertising specialists say to get rid of A+ Content. That stops you from getting more sales and ads from working.
Never had that experience. Sounds like paranoia.
for me all the people is the room
I feel freedom please

I can tick no.1 off 😊👍
Awesome!
Do you think these tips can also apply for fiction books?
In a way, definitely. Fiction is a different animal in the self publishing world and requires more of a 'following'/'audience' a lot of the time to do well.
Thx bro...
Can anyone review on amazon without having to pay the product??
Is it possible for someone who hasn’t purchased your book to still write a review on Amazon?
ANYONE can rate a book. And ratings are what count. This can cause positive and negative effects.
Unfortunately yes, I have a negative review from somebody who didn't even read my book just to dox.
How we can join
isnt there some service that helps you get book reviews beofre you post it on amazon?
Lot's of them either aid in it or provide the service directly. Booksprout and pubby to name a couple
Could you please advise how to give someone a free copy of my paperback? How is that possible? Thank you in advance! ;)
You'd have to manually ship it to them using the "author copy" feature in KDP. I'd recommend sticking with PDF's manuscripts of your book if you're going to be sending people copies of your book for free.
@@DaneMcBeth Yes, thank you! It is more difficult when you live in Europe and want to send free copies to the US.
great
I thought reviews can only be given by people who make a purchase through amazon
Yup that’s true
Not true. Customers can leave 'unverified' reviews.
@@DaneMcBeth ok. I didn't know this
You’re Instagram reels are 🔥
I wanted to ask how to utilize to utilize A+ content sorry
Like how do I do that in the publishing paperback aspect
How do I as an author put out said A + content
Sorry to disturb you
Search A+ Content on my channel, I have a video all about it
I wish I knew h ow to do Amazon ads without losing a ton of money.
Check the tutorials on my channel :)
@@DaneMcBeth Thanks Dane. Will do.
Hombre, hablas muy rapido para quien no sepa muy bien inglez,mas despacio por favor que no puedo captar la informacion ni tampoco memorarla,gracias
To pay a copyright fee for 1000s of books is insane. 😭

Well... Whats your cover look like? Title? What is your keyword? If there are no buyers, you are not going to get impressions.
