Depends entirely on how quickly you want to scale! $1,000 gives you 2 books and enough to advertise through KDP ads roughly but it all depends on your budget, you can make it work! What budget have you got an I'll be able to help you out a little more?
Do you get reviews before you start ads (to get social proof to make ad spend more effective)? Or just starting ad spend ASAP to get sales and organic traction?
And what's your take on publishing velocity in the mid-content space? If your goal was $10k/mo what would be your target portfolio size? Do you have a certain monthly profit goal per each new book release?
I would say a successful book is one that generates at least $200 per month profit! With this, you'd need 50 but some will definitely sell ay more than $200 per month
What's your advice for a student, who don't have enough money to outsource and is doing everything himself -(writing, cover design, keywords research and the rest)
If you can't outsource that's fine! You just have to learn how to do everything yourself and it will just take longer! If you can, spend your initial time learning as much as you can from RUclips or if you can afford to, invest in a course showing exactly what you need to do! Don't just jump straight into it with no knowledge else you'll waste so much time and effort
Hi Sam, what is your general budget per medium content book, plus launch budget? Also, how do you make sure that your designers are using licences images and graphics for resale / print on demand products?
Hi mate For book creation I will generally say no more than £300. Obviously it depends how much of that work you do yourself! Launch budget I would keep £200 aside for the first month and go aggressive on the ads with that budget (about £7 per day). The more budget you have for ads, the better but £200 can work! In terms of the images, just make sure you are paying for them either from a freelancer or by a subscription to midjourney if your using AI for the images. Where are you getting your images from at the moment?
Awesome video-thank You! What market do you do best in? I have the impression that after brexit the UK market has fallen a lot - am I wrong? Do you use AI to create images for example? Do you think it's ok and safe? What kind of books work best for you?
Hi Karolina! My best markets are the UK and US but US has a lot more potential due to its size! I do use AI for some images and I use Midjourney but you need a subscription to use the images commercially. I have found that medium content books work best :)

What start up budget do you suggest your students start with when following your KDP business model? When outsourcing 80% of the work?
Depends entirely on how quickly you want to scale! $1,000 gives you 2 books and enough to advertise through KDP ads roughly but it all depends on your budget, you can make it work! What budget have you got an I'll be able to help you out a little more?
Can you make a video on kdp differences and updates from 2023 to 2024 now what updated material we should learn in 2024.
Good suggestion, I’ll deffo make that at some point! Thanks
Do you get reviews before you start ads (to get social proof to make ad spend more effective)? Or just starting ad spend ASAP to get sales and organic traction?
Not at all! Good reviews definitely make advertising a book easier but you can still shift units with no reviews
