first of all, i would like to say thank you for doing this challenge for your community. i just came across you and i really like your style and your videos. However, I have to mention some points of criticism, maybe you can think about it and adapt the videos. 1) i've heard that an existing amazon kdp account is scored differently than a new one. so it might play a bit into the fact that you took your existing account and not a new one for this challenge, which can skew the results. but i don't know if my info is correct. 2) I don't know exactly how you would implement this, but it would be much more informative for your community if you showed the books (and perhaps also the creation). That way, viewers have the book right in front of their eyes and can see what works and how well. 3.) this is not a point of criticism, but a general thought. if you make 3k/month profit and the account is then worth 100,000, the question is always who will buy it. because you can list a lot on platforms, but for what something is actually sold is the other question. apart from that, it would also be interesting to know how long the account has to convert this 3k/month. it makes a difference whether it runs for 1 month or 10 months. Absolutely no hate! just my honest feedback on your video :) Looking forward to the next episode
I appreciate the feedback and thanks for the kind words and feedback! Don’t worry I appreciate comments like this rather than straight up hate so I’ll address it all below: 1) Just not remotely true in the slightest! Plus if you watch the intro video to the series I explain why I’m doing it on my current account! 2) I would love to show the books but hundreds of people will simply just copy it and then that just hurts my sales! 3) Again I covered this in the intro video! Sites like empire flippers allow you to list your KDP account and they frequently sell for 6 figures + Thanks for the comment and I hope that answered all of your questions!
How many books do you think you need to reach your goal of 100k? I'm interested in low and medium content but I don't think it's possible reach that goal with only few books due to the low royalties. Am I wrong?
No you definitely can and I’ll show that in this series! It’s not about how many books you make, it’s about how much you make from each book! I reckon between 15 and 20 will be enough for the $100k but let’s wait and see
Since you can only have three author central pages per KDP account is there a way I can get rid of one as I don't want to use it and need to create another one?
Yeah bids have been lower than usual because I've been focusing on producing books! I'll be increasing them this month as I dedicate more of my time to ads rather than book production. Bids have been between $0.3 and $0.9
@samazonkdp Super thanks for the reply. Sorry you got 1 star but it's a good case study for us and a valuable lesson. Thank you for this challenge!!! Very motivating. Super if you would add some more screenshots of the ads how it goes and so we can see how you launch the book.
It’s not as simple as ‘under 10k uk bar is a good niche’ etc, it’s so much deeper than that because there are multiple variables you need to assess! I explain it all in the upcoming course
Really great to see your progress so far on this challenge Sam, I’m excited to see the results this year!
Thank you bro

1 star reviews are a nightmare. Some will leave them because they didn't read product descriptions and expected something different 😅
I got a bunch of bad reviews because they didn't expect something I clearly stated in the description and A+ content.
It's very frustrating but just part of the game!
This is amazing, Sam where do you outsource your books
Upwork and fiverr but in my upcoming course I’ll share my exact freelancers

Are you doing only ads or social media as well? I don't understand how you get enough sales with such little spend on ads 😮
I’m only doing Amazon ads! If you know what you’re doing and how to optimise ads properly you can get sales with low spend
Sam don’t you offer live time access payment for your kdp accelerator?? I wish it will be there sooner✨🤝🏻
No it's monthly only
Hi Sam, how many months will it usually take for a book to start performing well?
There’s no real set answer! It depends on a number of things (niche competition, ad spend, book quality etc…)
@samazonkdp wow fast response. Didn't expect that. Are u on Bali? I'm going there in a few months and with KDP as my ally haha
@@therealrayster Love it bro
@samazonkdp hehe it seems like there's something about Bali that wants me to go back. Looking forward to you challenge.
Can we have a link to your Amazon store?
No because everyone will copy me
Since you can only have three author central pages per KDP account is there a way I can get rid of one as I don't want to use it and need to create another one?
If you contact Amazon directly, they can sort it
How big are your bids? For Launch books, it still seems like a tiny ad spend to me! Super
Yeah bids have been lower than usual because I've been focusing on producing books! I'll be increasing them this month as I dedicate more of my time to ads rather than book production. Bids have been between $0.3 and $0.9
@samazonkdp Super thanks for the reply. Sorry you got 1 star but it's a good case study for us and a valuable lesson. Thank you for this challenge!!! Very motivating. Super if you would add some more screenshots of the ads how it goes and so we can see how you launch the book.
@@Karfferro Glad you're enjoying and yes thanks for the feedback! Next month I will show the ads console and talk about ACOS etc
do you have a bsr cheatsheet tailored per market to help choosing our niche ? uk, us, fr, it, Spain...
It’s not as simple as ‘under 10k uk bar is a good niche’ etc, it’s so much deeper than that because there are multiple variables you need to assess! I explain it all in the upcoming course
Organic sales are impossible?
Not impossible but much harder at the start
Give us niches kdp coloring book
I literally just gave you one bro😅
