    I actually checked the date of the video after a few minutes to see if was uploaded on April Fools Day! I totally agree with you, it's amazing how many people carry on making hundreds or thousands of books with hardly any sales and somehow imagine something will suddenly change and they will start making the $10K per month they've been promised. It's good to see a good dose of reality being served at last.

    I took your advice and created 100 slug colouring books, and, wouldn't you know it, I actually made well over $10,000 the day before I even started! Thanks to you, I have now retired to my dream destination of New Zealand! Kia kaha, and kia ora, from Aotearoa!

      Very happy for your success! But don't stop there - there are many other books on Amazon that are books. Don't forget that, it's the niche that keeps on giving.

    The reason I dropped off listening to KDP video channels is that the producers can't or won't show a few of their successful books. Still, they have no problem showing other successful independent KDP books; then, I can't take their advice seriously. I appreciate those channels introducing me to KDP publishing, but they're wasting people's time because they aren't transparent enough.

      Hello Sir, sorry I'm meeting you this way! The truth is that, I was going through the comments and yours got me attracted. To be frank, I'm into Amazon Kdp, and I have students too who are making thousands monthly doing Amazon kdp. The problem is not your writing if you're not making sales, the problem is about what you write.
      Are you writing what people will want to buy?
      Anyways, TH-cam videos won't teach you that, and you might go on searching and maybe one day get lucky and stumble on a gold mine of information. It's your time and energy or you might still save this energy and get a proven template from me that works.
      Anyways there's just so much to this Amazon Kdp and I have a free video you would want to watch.

      I used to think like that, but if they disclosed their books, then people would copy and they would not be successful anymore. The fact is, it is quite difficult to find those profitable niches and eventually it's not a secret anymore even for them and the hard work starts all over again. Same thing with people selling us stuff and being affiliate, why not? (unless they keep bombarding us with their courses and such). Being a TH-camr is not a sign people are not making it at KDP simply, many people like to be gurus and lead people doing crappy videos. The good videos represent a lot of work to make with good content and we all know who the good gurus are, we just drop the others, but true, we never blindly follow anybody!
      I agree with Raydog, the $ reports with no idea of what made them that $ are pretty irrelevant.
      Raydog might be the most/only transparent one out there and yet, understandably so, he does not tell us everything, that's just fair.

    I’m one of the sad group you mention toward the end. Started KDP well over two years ago, sold some books but then the plethora of quick money making with KDP vids arrived on YT and the more I watched, the more I got put off taking it further. The comparison game is brutal. It’s so easy to think ‘I’ll never manage that in a million years’ or ‘I’m not as good as that’ etc etc.
    There are a few tried and trusted people I still follow like Rachel and StackinProfit for news, sound advice and motivation to get going again but now I’m extremely suspicious of the get rich quick channels. Thank you for the words of encouragement. 🙏❤️

    I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honesty relating to the KDP journey. I've consistently been at it for a little over a year, and now consistently make 5-10 sales a day. I know it's not a lot compared to others, but I try not to let the youtubers with their income reports discourage me. I hope to see more growth and success as my design skills continue to improve.

    • @ChrisRaydog

    @winteryama 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks Chris! I really appreciate your videos. I’ve started this journey in the past five months, tried the no content thing and it’s not for me. I’m finding success in one particular niche and creating books that I’ve made myself. Not tons of sales but steady sales. It’s gonna take longer but being realistic is most important. Please keep creating videos. Your insight and journey are helpful and prefer your channel because I listen to you like a podcast.

  • @taniayager3361
    @taniayager3361 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think listening to too many people who profess to know their stuff on KDP can be really overwhelming for the beginner. For someone who has some knowledge of KDP it can be boring to listen to those who say they are the experts who are literally repeating what everyone else is doing. My outlook on the industry is to stick to my own values and produce something that is original whilst keeping an eye on what people want.

  • @katharineshade9550

    @Asab124 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hello Chris, Thank you for the value and the quality of your videos. In my case, I stopped watching videos about KDP a long time ago. The topics are repetitive with no value and don't reveal the reality. some TH-camrs try to make this business very easy (which is not), they create attractive and catchy titles (Easy niche..., +10k dollars niche...) to make lots of views with no value at all. KDP nowadays is very competitive, you have to work hard, create quality books, differentiate yourself from others, and in lots of niches you have to boost the books with ads. You're the only KDP TH-camr that I follow, your videos are great, and the topics are interesting. Thanks again (Y)

    LMAO! OMG Chris, you kill me! I sat here for the first 4 minutes staring at the screen and listening intently thinking, "it has finally happened! I have completely lost my mind! I cannot make heads or tails out of what in the hell he is saying!". LOL!!! Thank you Chris, you made perfect sense and this is a message that needed to be put out there. Brilliant and so well said. I too have been down all of those paths that you mentioned and there will also be niches that you excel in and some that you won't, and understand that KDP is not a get rich quick scheme. I sometimes think I spend TOO much time on making my book interiors, but that is the part I like and I have found some folks really respond to that. As you said, it will be different for every person. Great message! 💖👍😉

    Wish there were more channels like this that let people know the truth..that making money online is not as easy as how it is shown in some of the channels..where they reveal a niche and make people, believe (especially beginners) that they could make thousands of dollars by just following that single niche..making them contribute to the mess that is already existing in the kdp space. Definitely niche videos would be helpful during the initial days of the KDP journey..but wish those channels encouraged beginners to do their own niche research and emphasis on the importance of adding their unique spin to these. Thanks Chris for this honest video as always!

    The amount of absolute tat on TH-cam about this topic knocks me sick. The clickbait bullshit titles with the same doss thumbnails of some muppet with a shocked or confused face, holding their phone showing big earning numbers, is exhausting. All the channels touting fast easy hustles are by people who have never done one single thing they are showcasing. They are making money off of people watching their videos. That's about it. They haven't a clue about the actual thing they are promoting. It's all utter bollocks and it's quite nice hearing someone else rant about it in the same way that I think about it.
