Great video but let's be real... a lot of these strategies require a budget that not all of us have. As a new seller, it's tough to invest in marketing when you're just starting out. Would love to see more content on free or low-cost marketing tactics that can help us indie authors get our foot in the door
Not going to lie, I wrote 10 eBooks on self care that I bundled for $19.99 for all 10 and then published them to my own website which was simple and cheap then I advertised on Pinterest at $16/day and made $32,000 in 2 months. It’s not hard, you just have to make attractive covers using canva, attractive deals by bundling for a low price, and have a small capital for advertising. $500 is not hard to save up if you have a full time job. Keep in mind I have a wife with a shopping addiction and 2 kids and I was the sole income earner as a cleaner earning $AU47,000/year after tax so if I can do it, anyone can. I think most of my success came from my niche which was self care and all 10 eBooks covered all the most popular niches so that was an easy win tbf. Start with something like that with the highest chance of success then use the profit you make to reinvest in whatever you want. I stopped with the eBooks temporarily and am now using that money to make mobile games because I believe I can beat most of the existing games considering the bar is so low at the moment and the potential for massive returns is high even for those B grade games. I started with eBooks, moving onto mobile games, hopefully start making films because that’s what I’m really passionate about.

Did you use any of Neil Patel’s keyword search engine for the posting title and description? And are you promoting them on your social media channels with the right keywords?
You have to use social media to promote it, make posts about it and share it in relevant groups and make videos about it on youtube and Tictoc. Also asks your friends and family to share the posts you make and to write reviews on Amazon.
I've watched a bunch of videos of people unhappily saying that their Amazon KDP accounts were suspended, but this video is the first where I've seen someone say they hired a lawyer, found a way to get ahold of a real human, and convinced Amazon to reinstate their account. That's awesome! Great going! I'm subscribing to this channel!
I made 4 million selling ebooks and now im going to teach you how to do it to😂😂yea because all millionaires bust their asses to be successful, to then share their secrets on UA-cam 😂no actual millionaires or billionaires have UA-cam channels, you people know this right 😂
1. I noticed you don't have a link to ur amazon page, to see those 1500 books you published. 2. You are saying that you published 1500 books in 7 years, so you writed 5 books in 3 days. 3. If you earned millions, why you are making UA-cam videos? U r not sincere in what you saying
This content is brilliant ❤ I’m excited to see your channel grow, I’ve watched a lot of publishing content and this is some of the BEST. I predict you will do well. Now, I’m off to binge watch the rest of your content. Well done Peter and thank you for sharing. 😊👍🤩
Thank you Peter for a pure and solid information about KDP or publishing books I am sure many are here will agree with me why dont you make a Step by Step course on how to published a book. I am sure everyone will buy it, I will be the first one to be your student. Wish you all the best on your channel I am sure it will grow more. I have subscribed already. More power! 👍
Great video! You said you spent tens of thousands of dollars in education, could you let us know some of the courses that you took that you found most valuable? Thanks!
Great question, it's hard to pinpoint to what exactly has helped the most but wherever I was stuck, I aimed to find a book or a course on that topic. For example, Jim Edwards taught me some great stuff about copywriting while other books such as Great By Choice gave me concepts to follow. Sometimes, my return on investment has not been there, but overall, I think investing in oneself is a good strategy because over a long enough time horizon, even the "lesser" investments I made in self-education might pay off.

Thanks for answering in advance. Sometimes a channel with a very less subscriber count is actually the most honest one, thanks. I have just published my first book on the KDP and its on review stage, but i have something very important to ask. 1. How exactly does one sell a successful KDP account, as in do they have to give away the email id which they made the KDP account from? or there exists another method. 2. Also, lets be honest, the payment delays might not be as short as promised by the Amazon, so what was your experience with the payouts from KDP soo far.
Thanks for your comment. 1. I think they change the email for the account in most cases. 2. Royalties are paid every month, approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which the sale was reported (90 days for Expanded Distribution). So far, this has been my experience.
Hey im just gone over your channel and i really enjoy your content im currently publishing 5 journals at the moment, is there any way i can get in contact with you and run over a couple things that you think i could improve on.

So I have a question and I’m new to the whole world of self publishing and actually writing a message on UA-cam lol….. You are one of the most knowledgeable of UA-camrs I’ve come across so I’ll ask you and I would be extremely grateful if you could try and help with this one if you can… Say I self publish on KDP, would there be any issue with me producing a UA-cam video of me or someone else or maybe even a puppet reading out my storybook? I’m thinking this could be a way to expand my brand. But don’t know if any red tape would prevent that . Sorry for the long message 😢
If you do something like this, I don't think you want to be exclusive to KDP (enrolling in KDP select). Otherwise, I don't think there should be a problem, but my best advice for this is to simply email KDP and ask them before you publish the videos (then you have an email to refer to in case they bring it up in the future).
Your number looks very big to me. I have seen other youtubers do actual filter change on their dashboard to show these are real numbers and have not been tampered with, as it is very easy to do. If you have a video where you do that, please copy the link.
I appreciate your content. As an author with a couple thousand units sold from two books, the scaling doesn’t compute for me. For instance, if you hire a quality writer for a small 30k nonfiction job, that’s about $3k. If that book nets $100/month, it would take three years to break even. I agree the covers, formatting, etc is cheap. But, I’ve never found good writers that are inexpensive and trustworthy (no AI). How much do you pay for ghostwriting ? Can you refer me to writers who will pay you a referral fee? Or would you entertain joining in a revenue share on a project together?
Do you think you'd be able to transfer your knowledge to another writer and steer him or her in the right direction while you provide the outline, review as he progresses, etc.? I agree that it's hard to find skilled writers. I don't have anything like that to provide now but I'll let you know if it changes.
I can do the keyword research, provide chapter outline, and give them a target length, but I don’t see how I could transfer the knowledge of what to write. I’ve been publishing for six years and I’m a project manager for a well-known publishing and marketing firm. Once you know the process, you need the personnel or you have to write yourself. Even as a decent writer, I can only write a high quality, no AI book every few months. To get to your 1500, that would take me 400 years. I’ve never found a class where the leaders share their writing resources. To me, I can only think of two reasons: 1) they don’t or no longer have those inexpensive writers or 2) they have them but don’t want to share them because they keep them busy on their own projects. The fact is that no publishing strategy that relies on scaling can be successful without these low cost writers. Books don’t make much money. So, you can’t afford to turn out books for the usual $2-$4k and make a profit. If you know the rest of the process, as we both do, and I had quality writers at $.03/word, making long term profit is pretty easy.
@@Mikeblanco12345 I appreciate you sharing your experience and point of view. I don't think the goal should be to publish 1500 books but rather to have a bigger impact from the books published. Ideally, we want the books to make more than $100/month. My plan for 2025 is to decrease the publishing pace and focus more on making sure the books published have the best possible chance for success. One reason why it has worked for me is because of the editors and the way they work with the writers (the writers improve with time).
If you use AI be EXTREMELY careful where and how you use it. AI has a high chance of violating copyright and being ignorant of the violation is no protection to you. Each violation is punishable by up to $250,000 and 5yrs in prison, so it wouldn't take very many books violating this law to spend your entire life in prison when the lawsuits start rolling in. I love AI, and I use it a lot. Just be smart about it. Don't let it write for you, it's terrible at it anyway, and it will land you in hot water when it goes off the legal rails. If you use it for artwork be very careful since there's not an easy way to determine if it's reproducing copyrighted artwork, but if the original artist comes forward you can get in big trouble.
I'm unable to provide individualized help at this moment but I think the free Skool course can provide some help: www.skool.com/self-publishing-entrepreneurs-9850/about
1500 books in 9 years? That's like one book a month I mean come on dude you gotta be focusing on quantity rather than quality popping out as much as you can and see what hits. You can't really say you focus on quality with that amount of books.

1500 books in 9 years? That's like one book a month I mean come on dude you gotta be focusing on quantity rather than quality popping out as much as you can and see what hits. You can't really say you focus on quality with that amount of books.
Thanks for your comment, I answered you on the newest video now.
That is actually 14 books a month….
@@YTJayell even worse. And he says he focuses on quality
Fans of Ollie are everywhere🤣

Fake ?
Not so great when you have nothing to spend on advertising.
The numbers are probably fake and edited with browser editor
Nope, this guy is legit
@@canaday2k prove it
@@SW-fh7he I can't, and neither can you 🙃
@@canaday2k probability is on my side though
@@SW-fh7he Please explain your logic?
How good are these books, stories, are they worth reading?
You hire people for their IT and other skills. What is stopping those people from taking your ideas and then going into business on their own account?
Contracts, drive, and a deeper understanding/experience.
@@peterholmquist In my experience, contracts and agreements mean nothing in real life. To enforce them you have to pay lawyers.
2k a book? And hats not really that good.
