Sometimes, in a way it is sort of like uploading and hoping for the best. When you find a niche that has demand but low competition your sales will grow organically. Otherwise, your options are - if you have a budget you can run Amazon ads. If you don't have a budget then build a brand off Amazon. Create a website, social media accounts, build an email list and connect with potential customers this way.

If you find a niche with demand but low competition then generally your sales will grow organically. It's something that will take time - you can't put a time frame on it unfortunately as we can't predict Amazon's or the customers behaviour. You can push your books elsewhere such as build a brand around your books, create a website, social media, an email list, promote to potential customers that way. But it all takes time.

Getting a good category for low contents can be quite hard because their category structure is set up for high content books and it does look different on their site to what's in the KDP back end. Generally I try to find the category matching the theme of my book not so much the interior. So for example, if I have a notebook with a Tiger on the front, I'll look for an Animal, Tiger, Zoology, etc category.

You have the choice of Amazon ads if you have a budget to spend. Personally, I think journals would do well on Instagram.

Build a brand through whichever social media channels you prefer to use, build an email list and promote your books that way.

Yes it works for Australia. There's no issue getting paid, you just provide your bank details and they deposit into your bank account, you can fill out a form that gives you a reduce tax withholding rate because we have a treaty with the US and the publishing costs aren't different. The printing costs may be different but the costs of books generally sell for higher in Australia that the US anyway. I get a higher royalty for books sold in AU than in US.

Hi. I am nonestly not trying to be argumentative or a PIA. I have been watching several KZreadrs who are talking about publishing on Amazon. They all have great content and ideas and such, but so far I have not found any of them have actually sold a book on Amazon. One person told me that she keeps her content secriet so it won't get stolen... but how is that publishing on Amazon? To sell a book means you run the risk of being ripped off. (I know, I have 5 books on Amazon right now.) And no offense, but if you are going to tell me how to make money with Amazon, would it be out of line for me to ask you to show me how YOU make money on Amazon? I am really interested, but I cannot find just a first name on Amazon to find your books. If you could send a link, that would be awesome. And if you do, I PROMISE to buy one of your books.

Yes, just publishing on Amazon puts you at risk of having your work being ripped off but publicly telling people which books are yours opens you up to a massive amount of people just waiting to copy your books.

@@MyFreedomEmpire Thank you for your response. I am not very satisfied by your answer. I am still confused because selling books is what you teach, and frankly it is disturbing that we cannot see what it is you sell. I wonder if you would gain even more audience if you showed what you sell, and became more transparent about what you teach. These are low content books of notepads and such. What would anyone gain by ripping you off? All they need to do is purchase a template from CreativeMarket or grab one of the thousands of free stuff out there. Not sure what intellectual property would be ripped off. And if you are doing something special to sell the numbers you claim, wouldn't THAT be something to share? With an audience of 20,000 people it would be easy for your to do a book launch with one of your journals and get to a number one status if you sold even 500 in the first 24 hours of launch. And once a number one best seller in any category, it makes it far easier to build an even wider brand. I am researching and digging in deep on this subject, and I am not really liking what I am finding. However, I am not here to argue with you and I will leave you alone.
