In your video you said there wasn't a lot of competition, but it feels like there is. There are so many people trying to do KDP. Hopefully 2024 is a good year for KDP! I do have a question: are Niches like weight loss, etc. Oversaturated at this point? What are some niches to just avoid?
I would love to make this happen in 2024! I've started out with a coloring book. I hope to make some extra cash to join your program. Thank you for putting these videos together.
All right guys as promised, I'm going to document this. This is day one of the book writing process that I signed up for on the website. So far I'm following the steps given. I will drop an update in approximately 6 days

This is the best video I've seen on the subject. Love the step by step! This has been a glimmer of a dream for a while, and the video makes me feel like I could really do it. Thanks so much.
All right so I am starting this literally tomorrow I have signed up for publish a book in 7 days I'm going to document my time day by day I have watched a ton of your videos and I am also excited to start this however I must say I am a bit skeptical not of your success but of mine I'm going to follow this video to the letter and I will update my experience as I go using your program.
I rarely manage to watch longer videos untill the end, but finished this one. Great content. I like the realistic timeline. It's like mr. Beast says: make 100 videos (books) and improve something every time.
Thanks for this video. The setting of realistic timelines for first-timers was just what I needed to hear. I feel like I have finally found my niche. I will be watching all your videos pertaining to this. 😊
Another great video! I made it to the end and liked the longer one with links to all the shorter ones. I tried a coloring book with Midjourney last June but didn't follow any of these steps. Thank you for getting me motivated again! I am going to do the upfront work like you say instead of just publishing one thing and being disappointed when it doesn't sell.
I have been a professional blogger for 20 years. 90% of bloggers do exactly what you did.. which is why they don't succeed. They start a blog and if the money isn't instant they give it up. Any business requires an investment of your time. Very few businesses are an overnight success. Make up your mind to succeed.. and DO NOT give up until you do!
Thank you for all your amazing advice and content! I’m already publishing coloring books but your tips have increased my sales in a month! I can’t thank you ENUF!
I so appreciate your videos Sean. Your experience and knowledge is invaluable...thank you for sharing and I wish you all the best. For me, my business isn’t being a publisher, it's being a writer. This has made me realise though the way to do this is to learn to produce, publish & earn to then have sufficient financial and time freedom to write what I want to. Bless you.
I made it all the way to the end and I am excited! I was almost finished my first book. I’m just putting the finishing touches on it and you have me the extra information I needed.
Thank You So Much! I am a beginner and your videos were very helpful to me. Please continue making videos about Amazon KDP publishing. My Dream is to become an Author and I think that finally, I am going to make my dream come true.
I absolutely love these videos I’m a newbie but you give out sooo much great information in them I appreciate them! Thank you I’m going to jump on this journey and see where it takes me!
Made it to the end. The one statement that worried me was, "go deep, not wider." Why? Because my experience and expertise is unique in its width without necessarily having multiple levels of depth. I am reevaluating my topic lists and considering how to create more depth for some topics. Other topics already have depth, a brand, and an evergreen supply of books related to the brand. This is my first book to be published so I will at least start with a deep topic. Great video Sean. I took notes (I'm an old man).
I have been a professional blogger for 20 years.. so I think I might understand why he would say that. In blogging.. those who choose ONE niche and cover it thoroughly are much more successful than those who try to cover multiple niches and never really cover any of them thoroughly enough to be successful. If you have a book in one niche that is doing well.. publish more books in the same genre. Hopefully, those who enjoyed your first book might also purchase the others. After you feel you have exhausted that subject.. come up with another niche in which you feel you could again create multiple books. I would think that might be a much better strategy than trying to do research on 20 different niches and then creating 20 different books in all those different niches.
Thanks as always for the great advice and strategies! I've published a few coloring books on Amazon so far, and I am enjoying the process of learning more all the time.
I hope this helps me out, Sean. I’m just starting out and just looking for a modest income, hoping my novels can build into something that people can enjoy and hopefully get inspiration from. 🙏🏽
I seriously want to do this I’ve look at it several times looks easy but I’m sure there’s more to it that I’m going to invest some time in your post and make it happen
I appreciate the immense value you've offered in this video. As a beginner, I found the step-by-step blueprint to be extremely helpful, and it's amazing that you're sharing your journey from zero to 10k/month with us. The insights and practical tips you provided will surely be a game-changer for those venturing into the Amazon KDP business. Thank you for creating such informative content and offering a free masterclass as well! Looking forward to learning more from your future videos.
Sean bravo 👏🏽. Your tone greatly improved. Humble, empathetic. Thank you and sorry if I was too critical before. That was not fair. Anyway I’m wishing you the best and I wouldn’t have bothered commenting if I didn’t see the star in you. It was frustrating to see anything get in the way of that. Happy New Year as well.
Thank you thank you Sean! Loved this video - loved the step by step approach. I got a lot out of this longer video. I listened / watched it in chunks, took lots of notes. Now I feel more confident to get started. 😊
Hi, Sean. Thanks for great video. I like to watch your video and hope to get your guide to start my own business on kdp amazon. ( I am Dat from Vietnam)
Made it to the end. Thanks Sean. Quick question. Whats the best tool to get reviews for coloring book for adults and kids. Pubby seems to work best for ebooks...
I been watching your videos want to get started i have lot of ideas on ebook, and DIY books and i want to write novels can i do all of them or do i just pick one and also am I supposed to have website and LLC before i even begin. Please let me know
I made it to the end. Thank you! I am wondering, can I start publishing without having started a company? Cause for POD t-shirts for example you need a company.
THANK YOU.... I have long been perplexed by how to be successful at this. I have an EXTREMELY underperforming book on Amazon now and will find a way to make it my first using this method. Question: Should I take if off and start over? I literally have no sales to speak of over three years. It is a non-fiction spiritual/inspirational 30-day Reflection book with photography. It is expensive to produce, so it sells for $20. I think I have good reviews (14 or 15). I just feel I need a reboot, relaunch, reworking.
I love watching your videos but recently, there aren't audible enough for my device. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this. Your voice sounds so low.
I'm almost certainly going to join Royalty Hero but I do have one question about this video. I have 2 med content activity books that have done well. One is a kids maze book and one is a large print word search. On average I've been selling about 8 copies a day but during the holiday season closer to 20/day. But when I saw in this video that you can start with ads for as little as $3/day, it makes me question things. I get very little impressions unless I'm up in the 0.75 per click range. Word search, coloring books, puzzles, mazes-- they've all become so competitive that $3/day sounds like it's advice from a different time. And groups that I'm a part of all complain of the same thing: Amazon Ads have become really expensive. Of course, I could be doing it wrong and if your Ads training in Royalty Hero can get me on a less expensive track, that would be awesome!
I'm a relative "new comer" to KDP during 2023. About 12 - 13 of my books sold fairly well during December in the U.K. and here in the U.S. as long as my bid rate was up around 60 cents. My orders for the month totaled a whopping 82 !! However, I don't have the financial capability to keep that bid rate going any longer. (I seriously sacrificed to do that high of a rate during December, but I needed to see if my books would be appealing enough to sell.) Obviously, they are. But after I've lowered the bid rate now, I'm getting less sales. I do realize that the pre-Christmas surge in consumer buying helped me tremendously. I've seen multiple, varied suggestions for how to keep sales ongoing, but I'm very limited financially at this point. Any other ideas? (I'm not very adept at social media.)
Hi Sean, thank you for all you do for this community! Could you please suggest a resource for personalized activity books? I have a couple educational activity books for kids that the cover and two interior pages have the kids name. Where can I get those printed on demand? Thank you!
Hey Sean, Thanks for this awesome video, it covers everything but i noticed that you didn't mention A plus content at all ! Do you think that it's not important?
@Sean Dollwet Great content; thanks! 2 quick questions: (1) Do you think it’s risky to publish a book that’s written by AI such as ChatGPT? I mean, AI is not perfect, and it might produce some info that’s not factually correct, and that could hurt the publisher’s credibility and might even result in a lawsuit. Should written books only be written by human writers then? (2) When using Facebook groups or services such as Pubby to request for reviews, do you use your real name? Or pseudonym(s)?
So ghost writer is $3.79 per 100 words and the standard non fiction book is 150 pages or 30,000 words, that means it costs over $1k per book. Is there any type of book that would be cheaper requiring less pages but have the same impact or market to create? Should we build towards high impact books and in the meantime focus on low to mid books, journals in the meantime?
I stayed till the end...and i have a question. Your course says it has payment options..... From a single payment through twelve payments or $200.00 two hundered per month. I am home challenged but i can come up with 200 bucks per month. The problem is the service you have will not offer that option to me. I have been off- grid for years which i believe is the reason. At any rate, if that 200 dollar per month can happen im in. Any ideas?

Happy new year 💪
I'm a relative "new comer" to KDP during 2023. About 12 - 13 of my books sold fairly well during December in the U.K. and here in the U.S. as long as my bid rate was up around 60 cents. My orders for the month totaled a whopping 82 !! However, I don't have the financial capability to keep that bid rate going any longer. (I seriously sacrificed to do that high of a rate during December, but I needed to see if my books would be appealing enough to sell.) Obviously, they are.

I m also new bee in this kdp business n don't have money on ads so try to help me
I have published a finance-related book, but I want to go deeper and understand more, can you help me with that?
Hi Sean, thank you for all you do for this community! Could you please suggest a resource for personalized activity books? I have a couple educational activity books for kids that the cover and two interior pages have the kids name. Where can I get those printed on demand? Thank you!
thank you for this ,i am really struggling with this.
Hey Sean,
Thanks for this awesome video, it covers everything but i noticed that you didn't mention A plus content at all !
Do you think that it's not important?
@Sean Dollwet
Great content; thanks!
2 quick questions:
(1) Do you think it’s risky to publish a book that’s written by AI such as ChatGPT? I mean, AI is not perfect, and it might produce some info that’s not factually correct, and that could hurt the publisher’s credibility and might even result in a lawsuit. Should written books only be written by human writers then?
(2) When using Facebook groups or services such as Pubby to request for reviews, do you use your real name? Or pseudonym(s)?
Great video
So how many actually sold something?
So ghost writer is $3.79 per 100 words and the standard non fiction book is 150 pages or 30,000 words, that means it costs over $1k per book. Is there any type of book that would be cheaper requiring less pages but have the same impact or market to create? Should we build towards high impact books and in the meantime focus on low to mid books, journals in the meantime?
I stayed till the end...and i have a question. Your course says it has payment options..... From a single payment through twelve payments or $200.00 two hundered per month. I am home challenged but i can come up with 200 bucks per month. The problem is the service you have will not offer that option to me. I have been off- grid for years which i believe is the reason. At any rate, if that 200 dollar per month can happen im in. Any ideas?
