    yes very HIGH QUALITY. with AI all niches have become completely saturated. The coloring books I have sold have gotten 5 star reviews but I have only sold very few over the past few months. Novels non-fiction is an excellent nince but it has to be very high quality and you have to get traffic to it. There are so many books in every area now a days that it's not easy to get people to buy your books. I'm happy you are successful with your books but I know many peopl who have all kinds of books they published on KDP and some over 50 books and hardly sell and, and they are in popular niches to.

  • @Peakmotivational71
    @Peakmotivational71 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    no it is not easy. I create a line of high quality coloring books and journal and barely sold one. These coloring books cover alot of niches, Zen, Mandala, Safari, Gothis, Nostalgic, Kids and adults. Now, I listed them only over the post few months and i've sold a few but that market is completely saturated. They may take off one day but I,ve tried everything to make money on line and what I've found is you have to do alot of research and pay for marketing and ads to get traffic to your stuff. I have A Wwebsite, a youtube channel, I write articles etc. I do affiliate marketing you name it. And you have to deal with Google and if they feel your stuff is low Value good luck. He's right you have to find a high demand niche and that takes alot of research and time. I've promoted, marketed all my own stuff and it is not easy at all and if you work a regular job you will spend all your free time researching trying to find the right niche. I've used AI, canva, Fivver every AI tool you can think of and if you want to use the best tools on ANY AI TOOL you gotta pay for it.

Never breaking down anything, nor really testing the thesis, I can already see mistakes in your dino ones that people have obvious picked up from to learn and move forward, plus the AI when you starteds changed.

Recipe Books, even High Content... No matter what type of book you need to be doing effective niche research (ie finding opportunities where there's potential sales and you're not just copying other people) and then launching the books using ads. This isn't directed at you - just for anyone reading :). If you're looking at what others are doing (for example if you follow me and other publishers on Amazon) and just create the same things, you won't make many sales. You need to be finding opportunities for new types of books.

      Thank you! Yes I always declare it honestly, from what I've seen - at least currently - it seems more like a data gathering exercise. That could change, but my thoughts are they may start having info on the book saying what ai was used (perhaps in the near future)

    • @aikenpublishing
      @aikenpublishing 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I usually answer the same way on every book: No on the text. Yes, 1 or more images with extensive editing, and No on Translations. I'm not convinced people will care if they see a tag on a book about using AI. It's becoming so prevalent, it will be normal for just about everyone in the future. The problem will be when people lie about it. Amazon will know, so there's no need to lie about it. Do we care if we watch a good movie using CGI?

      That's a great point to be at. I found the first 200 harder than going from 200-1000 if that helps at all! Keep going, keep doing your research for the books before making and keep us updated! Make sure you're being sensible with ads too :)

    Good job..how you use midjourney for KDP??

      Use midjourney to create images, whether that's coloring pages or just for things for the book cover or some stock-like images

    I know your books. But all of them are pure trash. Don't be upset that I am honest. The last digits, 9VF, of your best-selling coloring book with 76 reviews are so bad, I don't know how Amazon is letting you continue with new books published. The thing is, this book is really selling organically, I don't know why, you left yourself a review (I am a nice guy and did not report it), but you manipulated hard to have no text in lots of reviews, so I don't know how you did it but you are scamming each customer. The quality of this AI trash is so bad, I don't know how you can sleep knowing you are stealing customers' money with each book sold. Yes, profit is profit, but you are selling garbage. Ask any colorist, an honest one, and they will say the same. Anyway, you are probably lying here about making 2k profit. You published most of your books under the same pen name, and nothing newly published is selling. So, better than lying here, tell some truth like you did on your top viewed video on TH-cam, the one that got you 20k subs here. Don't lie to us, it is impossible with the really bad quality of your books to make that profit. Impossible. Or maybe if you manipulate some reviews, the no-text ones, I don't know, but you are scamming people and will probably get your KDP account banned.

      It was for a very specific niche for a community im a part of. So it's not something that's replicable really, unless for example you're part of a large group of people and make a book that would directly appeal to them
