My God! The part you explained about not just setting a goal and rushing towards it instead of breaking it down into steps and smaller milestones is why I have failed in everything I have ever done in my life so far at age 28. Relationship, romance, college, my job, etc. It’s makes sense why I get tired and lost motivation for so many projects like writing books. Thank you for this critical knowledge I needed to hear and be taught along with reigniting my dream to be an author.

Great to see someone from Australia doing this!

Thank you so much Caroline! Your tips are very helpful!

The sound is just fine. Very clear. Thanks for another great video ☺️🇨🇦

realistic & straightforward tips. Thanks so much.

Great stuff and you got a new subscriber! Thank you!

Great info. Thank you.

G'day. Just subscribed after watching 2 of your videos. I will try and publish a few books this year, and see what happens. Look forward to watching more. Cheers!

Thank you so much🙂🙂

VERY HELPFUL, thank you. SUGGESTION: using a very large cursor mouse pointer while showing examples makes it much easier to follow along.. Also, big colorful arrows are helpful. Thank you for sharing all that you do, you explain it very well I am following your instructions, and just published my second book!

Thanks for an amazing video

A+ video

Thank u

Hi, I'm enjoying your videos and finding them useful. As a fellow Aussie it's also nice to hear the accent. I'm just starting out in the field of self-publishing and want to direct my energy to where it is most likely to have profitable results. I've invested in tools, have a good understanding of children as a teacher and I can write. I've also invested in tools like Dalle 3, Book Bolt and Mid Journey. If you were in my position what would be your first project? Each time I watch one of your videos I seem to be re-evaluating my thoughts. Yesterday it was kids' activity books for celebrations like Easter, today it's prompted keepsake journals for mothers etc. Thanks 🤪

i think it doesnt really matter that much what you choose as long as you do it better than whats out there and keep at it, all the best

This was helpful thanks I wish we could put journals in a series at least guided journals. Another way to do that is to use A+ content at the bottom with links to the other books in the series that is what I do. Do you have a tutorial on the best Ads to run as soon as you have published a low content book? So many different tutorials all giving a different strategy I'd like a simple one for low content books immediately after publishing. Do you have a tutorial for doing those ads please?

Thank you so much. Please I need a detailed video on how to use Publish rocket 🚀 to search for keywords to rank my books.

Thanks (sweet) Caroline for the latest vid. $100K AU is around 60,500 Euros to me that's a very nice income. Even half that would be most welcome (that's about the average wage in Spain, where I live)

Hi Caroline, I love your content. When you say advertise immediately upon publishing my book, or you referring to as soon as I submit it or after the 3 day approval timeframe? Thanks

How much do you pay for Amazon adds? Can you give us an example?

If you are making 10k a month you are spending a minimum of 1k likely 2k if you know what your are doing. A ACOS of 35% or less is needed to be profitable. Maybe even a monthly keyword software subscription fee as well. and then the hard part... getting book reviews... LOL! It will work if you work it. There is always a way. But it is a lot of consistent work.

My book, The Frailty of a Butterfly: My Journey Through Newborn Loss is published on Bookshop, Amazon,etc. I need help with marketing which is expensive. I just discovered your videos. I also have 2 children's books about death I will follow your advice.

I noticed your transcript has some errors in the dollar amounts. This could affect your video rating. Your content in self-publishing is very good.

You mentioned coloring books usually make $1k a month. Where do you find that data? Great video by the way!

Hey there, I have several books on amazon but none of them sell. I am curious how you get them to actually sell? Thank you!

What about marketing costs, outside of Amazon? Are they relying on Amazon only to market these books or are the sellers spending $$$ to market elsewhere? Maybe you have a video on how to market these low content books, I just discovered you, very interesting.

In terms of low content books, it's pretty rare to have ads other than Amazon ads. High content books like novels do usually have some Facebook ads also.

My goal is 40k a year steady income. 100k would be nice. Lol. 1st goal is 500 books a month

I have published 3 children’s activity books on KDP. I want to get some verified purchase reviews. Is there any way to set the price to zero or very low for a limited number of people? I thought I would post in my towns FB page that I’m giving away my book. I’m willing to pay the KDP printing costs and even a few pennies above that as long as I can limit who and how many people buy it. Any thoughts?

I've been thinking about asking a couple of friends to order copies, for which I would reimburse if they'd give a review

But doesn't it make more sense to publish 10 or 20 low content books and then run ads?

In Greece if you try sth like kdp the tax authorities crush you to the point it just becomes a very expensive hobby. If you manage to survive the first 2 years you need on average to make some money, you are in jail for debt.

I really like your videos. Can you please address the issues with your sound, though? I dont know if it's the microphone you are using, the gain settings, or the distance between the microphone and your mouth, but it is really annoying.

Exactly. Many of these self-proclaimed success cases have nothing to show in the detail that another needs to follow suit. Instead, they build up their YT audience with false hopes while your individual clicks make them more money from KZread. We're to believe that there are all these generous, Amazon-philanthropic people producing these long videos to help us poor, undirected souls out here.

Yet, I did not hear YOUR strategy because you said you made your money from one book so then publishing a series is irrelevant.

Bla bla bla 😡👎 click

Amazing!💮
