I Made $146 on Amazon KDP Today With This Simple Strategy
I’m excited to share another successful day in my Amazon KDP journey.
Today, I hit $146 in sales, The biggest sale in a day in November, hopefully will see a $200 day soon.
and get this — I only spent 30 cents on ads.
Yeah, I’m about to break down my super lazy (but effective) approach to making money with Kindle Direct Publishing.
Why My Strategy is Different
Look, if you’ve been following my blog, you know I’m not about chasing trends or working myself to death.
I’m honestly pretty lazy, and I’m proud of it!
I prefer building systems that last for years rather than jumping on every new bandwagon that comes along.
My Background in E-commerce
Before we dive in, let me share a bit of my background. I used to run (and still do) a seven-figure e-commerce store in Southeast Asia (now its massively lower).
We were spending around $1,000 daily on Facebook ads alone. That experience taught me some valuable lessons about advertising and business in general.
The E-commerce Burnout
Running an e-commerce business was exhausting. Here’s what it involved:
- Massive inventory costs
- Endless search for “hero” products
- Long waiting times for Chinese shipments
- Warehouse management headaches
- Constant ad campaign testing
- Dealing with Facebook account shutdowns
If you were part of the 2014-2018 e-commerce wave, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
We’d create 50+ ad hooks just to test one product. It was brutal, and I absolutely HATED it.
The worst part?
Ad costs kept rising (cuz every1 and their mom is runing fb ads…) until they became unsustainable.
Why KDP is Different (and Better)
This is where Amazon KDP comes in as a game-changer. Instead of being dependent on expensive ad campaigns, KDP success relies on two main factors:
- Volume Game
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
The Beautiful Simplicity of KDP:
- No inventory costs
- No shipping hassles
- No warehouse needed
- Unlimited book creation potential
- Passive income potential
My Lazy but Effective Strategy
Here’s my simple but powerful approach:
- Create multiple books with strong SEO optimization
- Build them under a cohesive brand
- Maximize visibility in specific niches
- Let brand recognition do the heavy lifting
When people repeatedly see my books in their chosen niche, they naturally start gravitating toward my brand. It’s basic psychology, and it works like a charm.
The publlishing power of BookautoAI
One tool that’s been absolutely crucial to my success is BookautoAI. This powerhouse allows me to create readable, quality books in record time. It’s basically my secret weapon for implementing my volume-based strategy.
Not only it Write, Format but the content also HUMANIZE which is AMAZING. Here for example, there s a passage off my new book
“Chapter 1:
Getting the Hang of Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is all the rage these days — and for good reason. It’s not just a fad; it’s a legit way to make cash online by promoting stuff. Imagine chilling at home, coffee in hand, and earning money with a few clicks. Sounds like a dream, huh? That’s the beauty of affiliate marketing. Let’s break it down: how it works, the different programs out there, and how commissions shake out.
At its heart, affiliate marketing is about performance. You’ve got three main players: the merchant, the affiliate, and the customer. The merchant sells a product or service. The affiliate — think bloggers or social media stars — promotes that stuff to their followers. When a customer buys through the affiliate’s link, boom! The affiliate gets a commission. Everyone wins — merchants get more eyes, and affiliates cash in.
So, why’s affiliate marketing such a sweet gig? For starters, it doesn’t take much to start. No need to create products or manage inventory. Just set up a blog, social media, or YouTube channel to share your links. It’s perfect for those wanting to make money off their passions without the hassle of a traditional business. Plus, the earning potential is huge. Some folks pocket a few bucks, while others rake in six or seven figures a year. The more you promote, the more you earn — simple as that.
Now, let’s check out the types of affiliate programs you can dive into. There’s a smorgasbord to choose from, so find what fits your vibe: …”
I ran the whole Chapter through tools like Undetectable.ai. And as you can see it came back as human. This better than anything GPT3-4-5 can spit out.
The Multiple LLC Strategy
Here’s where it gets interesting. I’ve set up multiple LLC accounts with KDP, each managing about 50 books. This approach creates multiple streams of passive income.
Remember, the key is VOLUME.
Why This Strategy Works Better Than Traditional Methods
Lower Risk
- Minimal upfront investment
- No inventory risk
- No ad budget dependency
Scalability
- Can create unlimited books
- Multiple niches possible
- Automated systems
Long-term Sustainability
- Books continue selling for years
- SEO benefits compound over time
- Brand recognition grows naturally
Focus on Quality and VOLUME
- Ensure each book provides value
- Maintain consistent branding
- Don’t sacrifice quality for quantity, you can do BOTH.
SEO Best Practices
- Research keywords thoroughly
- Optimize titles and descriptions
- Use relevant categories
The Future of KDP
I believe the opportunity in KDP is still growing. While others chase trends or complicate their strategies, this lazy approach continues to work because it’s built on solid principles:
- Providing value
- Building brand recognition
- Leveraging SEO
- Creating volume efficiently
Final Thoughts
This lazy approach to KDP might not be flashy, but it works. I’m consistently making sales everyday with minimal effort and advertising spend. The key is building systems that work for you, not the other way around.
Remember, success in KDP isn’t about working harder — it’s about working smarter. Focus on volume, optimize for SEO, build a brand, and let the system work for you.
I’ll be back with more tips and stories in my next blog post. Until then, keep creating and stay lazy (in the smart way)!
