- Ever wondered how much authors make if they self-publish? Today I'm showing exactly how much money my first book currently is earning, two years after it was released.
Join the Bestseller Book Launch workshop: www.gillianper...
The #1 deciding factor of how well any book will do (especially a self-published book on Amazon) is how much traction it gets during it's launch. The better it does in it's first few days, the more visibility it will get, and the higher it will rank on Amazon. This means it will continue to be more visible and make more sales.
Without a strategic book launch, a self-published book will get lost in the millions of books on Amazon and never stand a chance.
Learn the strategies that allowed my first, self-published book to become a #1 international bestseller within the first week after it was released! Join this month's Bestseller Book Launch Workshop here: www.gillianper...

Hey, my name is Gillian! I’m a marketing strategist who helps online entrepreneurs 10X their sales with FB ads + sales funnels. I love combining tech, analytics, and psychology to create powerful marketing systems.
When I’m not helping my clients scale their businesses, I’m spending time with my husband and two little boys, exploring new places, and nerding out over my TH-cam analytics.

I just got my first royalty payment from KDP. I'm now $2.03 closer to my own island.
I got 0.50 cents
@@airzol3605 Well hang in there. You'll get there like I have. It's sweet at the top. 😜
@@marccolten9801 now how much you earn ?
@@airzol3605 Still the same.

My two cents- I think the best way to sell books is to first build up your following. Especially, if you really want to earn a good amount of money from sales.
So write the book. Promote on social media for a year leading up to big drop date. The second buzz dies down start pumping up your next bigger better book? rinse and repeat????
@@babyreps365 I know this comment is from 4 months ago but just in case it does help a little bit, I am going to post this comment. You could approach it as a stand-alone product but the best would be to approach it from a business mindset/business perspective by creating and establishing an author's platform. Research marketing and advertising as well as an author platform, and after learning and understanding the information, figure out a way to apply it as you see fit. There are great sources out there! The most important factor to remember in all this is "to write, write, write, and write because you can't promote something you don't have!" (something one of my professors said to me)
I self published a book with kdp and i make between $500 and $1000 per month. Usually its around $600 or so. But i did have 2 months so far where i broke $1000.
Wow thats amazing! What strategies did u use to promote ur book? I have a book ready and really dont know where to start to be honest.
@@stepahead7589 honestly i didnt do much. Definitely keep SEO in mind when writing your description and all that, for me my book is about welding, so i made sure it had a very relatable title. Aside from that, i ran amazon ppc and did ppc facebook ads for about 2 montha last year to research. I did a giveaway about a year after i listed the book, which i was already probably making $300 a month. Facebook ppc didnt seem like it was working until i went from like $300-400 a month to $1000 profit in one huge jump. But i havent had ppc running either on amazon or facebook for about a year now. I have $1,008 total to be deposited into my account in 2 days and at this point its all organic searches no ppc or marketing of any kind. I do plan to turn ppc back on, id like to try and double my current sales, so we'll see.
I don't quite understand the payment thing. Somewhere it said you're only getting paid when you reach 100 bucks but another site said you get everything even 2.99 to your bank account... Can someone help?
@@cristina9202 theres not a $100 threshhold as far as i know. My first payments were less than $20 i believe. They pay once a month on the 29th, and you get paid 90 days after the sale. So if you start selling books today, it will be at least 90 days until you get paid on those sales, but once its consistent youre getting paid every month. Also each market pays separate so if i sell a book in new zealand or india for example, i get a separate deposit from each country. But when i sell like 1 copy kindle dowload to india, i get a payment of like a dollar. So knowing they all pay separately, i dont think they put a threshold of $100 or i wouldnt ever get paid on my foreign sales.
@@sjm98126 the chart I'm seeing everywhere says 100 in every currency. Idk I'm just gonna wait 90 days and see what's happened
If you're writing a book, are you planning to self-publish or go the traditional route?
Hope you find this video interesting and informative!
Gillian, I am going to have to watch this again, ahaha, because instead of paying attention, I am writing this comment to say that I am very curious to find out where you are. It looks a lot like the platform of a train station in Boston :-D
Really informative.
*clap clap clap* Bravo you are a successful author in my eyes.
are you still giving away the free book ? I d like to have a look
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover kindle self publishing guide try Skyarza Simple Kindle Star (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.
I like your seeming honesty. You don’t fudge the numbers or make it like you are bigger than you are. You seem too appreciate what some may think are small wins. TFS!! Abundant Love ❤️ Belovedz:)!
Thank you so much for this!
Agreed. I had already researched the costs of self printing vs prices. And the figures fit very well with the overhead that Amazon and the actual printer take out.
Anyways, very informative, well edited video. (Not painful to listen to. I didn't fall asleep listening to a bunch of numbers rattled off ad nauseum .... the sort of video I would probably make ...)
perfect comment@PHD in Me TV
PHD in Me TV, I did notice that, also. Gillian exhibits an appreciate for the modest wins which, unfortunately, many would be too proud to want to mention & would scorn.
Gillian Perkins is a shrewd businesswoman, though, isn't she? She reserved certain critical "how to"s for the context of her "workshop" which she did mention at the end portion of her video here. ☺ Very smart of her.
Anyway, be blessed!
I was thinking the same thing.
The best thing to do to increase sales is to write the next book. You can't make money on a book that isn't out there. Last year, I sold 1400 copies of a trilogy I wrote in the early '90's. Under one name I've published 24 books, in my other name, I have 15 books plus 4 short story collections. A launch is questionable time spent. The more you have out there, the more people you catch.
Interesting what genre I might check your books out
Great advice. I'm also interested in your books.
Thankyou
He writes science fiction space wars type books. Google his name. Pretty neat
Thanks for the tip
I adore this rare transparency and your sharing spirit. Your videos are a treat. Here in Germany you'd be considered a crass non-conformist looney for talking about your earnings like that. I find every piece of advice you give on your videos very inspirational. Thanks.
I agree! Her transparency is so inspiring
It's very strange how reluctant we are to talk about money with other writers. I think that has something to do with being artificially competitive, which makes no sense at all, especially since staying silent about the business side of things prevents us from doing things like establishing standard market rates for our work. Editors talk about what they charge all the time, and as a result there's fairly consistent (and high, and fair) return.
The one thing I've discovered in my years writing is that the "competition" is an illusion. The thing we should be doing above all is connecting with each other, making other friends in the industry, and especially in our own little corner of the industry. It's not a game of winners and losers: when your friend hits it big, it doesn't mean you fail. It means that they are helping to make your genre more popular, and helping to bring more attention to you and make it easier for you to succeed. As an independent writer, the success of any other independent writer is good news to me, not bad. If we could all realize that we'd be a much better resource when it comes to helping one another.
Ahhh good luck Germany you're Going To Make It.
Agree!
You have apparently never heard of Merch By Amazon. A ton of people share their numbers!
Good job. You did well for one book. For those watching the video, you will have the best results if you publish multiple books consistently over time.
Tim Moon state your results, number of books credited to your person under any name, how long does it take you to produce a novel and what is your most effective sales plan?
Tim Moon how does querying go with you, did you spend much time with it or come up with a plan to SP from the beginning
Making a TH-cam video is a way that you are promoting your book. Cheers and continued success.
Yeah, you should include a link in the description TO YOUR BOOK! I had to go back and rewind the video to find you mentioning the name of it. You kinda dropped the ball on that one. LOL I have been toying with writing a book for a long time. (I have multiple ideas). I think I am going to get my butt in gear and give it a shot. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah this is the 2nd video I’ve watched about her self-publishing journey on this book and both times no link to the actual book. But she did make sure to link to her paid book marketing class multiple times 🤔
just typing her name on amazon would have been enough...
What a refreshingly honest account of self publishing. I'm half way through my own first book and while its not being written to make me money, its nice to see the different revenue steams that can be generated from it. Thanks
You sold us on the fact that your book was a “ little bit of somethin’ “ . And at the end you announce the book is a #1 International Bestseller! I missed something. But boy am I glad I stayed till the end!
I self published... spent about 4K out of pocket. It was well received but I made about $200 back(mostly through family and friends). It was an expensive lesson to learn. Some people can make money doing it, but I didn't.
B.L. Alley, I 100% agree with you. I was pulled in to a vanity publisher who was a friend of a friend. She took about $3,500, did the bare minimum to have someone else edit and create a cover and that was all. No connections. No promotions. And I ended up buying copies on my own to promote and sell. I've since been working with a new publisher who is putting in their own money to fix the injustice and rebrand my series. I've also published other books on Kindle which is much easier/practically free.
B.L. Alley, Thanks. I learned the hard way but I did learn. I had no idea what I was getting into and when I needed someone to hold my hand they offered to hold my wallet. It's a shame. Thanks for your well wishes. I hope the best for you as well.
Let me analyze your problem, JD.
You wrote a "vanity book".
In other words, you were writing for an audience of one: yourself.
Nobody cares about you. Not enough to read anything about you anyway. Nobody gives a shit.
You should write stuff people want to read.
What do people want to read? Duh!
Go to Goodwill and grab an armful of books you like. Read all the books.
Go back to Goodwill and repeat the process. As many times as necessary.
By the end of a couple years you should have read two or three hundred books. Minimum.
Then come up with a plot and start writing.
If you have trouble putting words on paper, go back to Goodwill.
If you can't find any books you like at Goodwill, you are well and truly fucked. In a million years, you'll never be a writer.
Leon Allan Davis I have a degree in English and I've read plenty of books. I chased publishing agents for years but the market is saturated with so many authors that most agents are not willing to waste time on a nobody. I used the vanity publisher as a starting point, hoping that I could gain an audience. It didn't work. The people who did read my work liked it and shared it but these are small waves in the ocean of literature. That isn't to say I've given up. In fact, I've continued to write and am currently working with a new publisher who is paying to re-brand my series. I also just had a short story picked up in an anthology series. So there's hope for me yet.
JD Clair - Leon Allan Davis is just a worthless piece of shit. I don't know him, but reading his post it is clear that he is a disturbed and insecure individual, do not pay any attention to him.
Depends what your book is about. Mine sold well - business related and earned me £14k in year 1 and £32k in year 2. I used some marketing guys to increase sales for a commission. Future passive income should be good. However, my main interest was not about the income but self goal and to help promote my business.
Could you tell us about the marketing strategy you used?
This about the 3rd video of yours that I have watched. Very good, no hype, will follow you. Please keep up the good work. I am 72, retired, and very prone to common sense. Thank you for your videos. Jim, Minnesota
Thank you. Just realised a key to success in self publishing is consistent strategic promotion.
Congrats on your success!
Thank you so much!
this is success? omg you bar is low
Interesting and honest video. Thank you. I've made a lot of money on Amazon. Sixty-three novels and sales of over 130,000. But.....I would have made a lot more if I had priced them correctly. It was my sense of worthlessness that made them available for £0.99 each. Things are just changing for me now. The lesson? Give a great deal of thought to your pricing.
what kind of novel do your write? Is it fiction or non fiction?
@@scarsscars2424 All fiction. Mostly family drama set in the 20th century and some fantasy. Six best sellers now.
The people who make the most money write a Ebook series give the first one away for free leave it as a cliffhanger or just write a very interesting story and they make a lot of money on the 2nd book then the 3rd and so on as long as they can keep the storyline consistent and interesting that's the secret to Ebook writing that pays off you also have to consider things that interest people like romance, the different versions of Science fiction and other points of interest you can't just write a book about anything and expect it to become popular or make you a ton of money.
Thank you so much for this transparent, accurate information!!! Next year I'll be publishing a young reader book, and I've been learning the pro's/con's of self publishing versus traditional. This in incredibly helpful. You are the BEST!
If you go traditional be careful of scammers who just want to take advantage of first time publishers.
Not that I write but just something to keep in mind.
This lady is a no nonsense source of good information. I am 56 years old and have lived on 4 continents. I can recognize honesty and quality content. Thank-You for posting.
You've earned a sub and a like! :) I really love your video, and it was down to earth and honest.
Thank you! Hope it helps you out!
Wow! Those are a lot of books and the amount of money you got from your book! I would be happy to make $20 when I eventually get to the point to publish my book.
As she said the key isnt the amount, but that its passive 😉
This was a great and honest overview and it also highlights the need to learn online marketing and take a self publish book launch as serious as having a business. If she would've had online sales funnels and was actively promoting it the sky is the limit as to how much she would've made. She did say this though but it's very important new self published writers understand this if they are expecting to live off of writing. Learn online marketing and you'll kill it or hire someone who can promote for you.
So smart for giving your book away for free. I do affiliates so having traffic is a huge plus. I love what you did.
Thanks for the honesty in the breakdown! You have a very practical demeanor which will take you far.
Straight to the point, with lots of information. Refreshing!! Thank you.
Very informative video! Thank you for the openness. I self published a little over 2 years ago and didn't purchase an ISBN to be able to sell on Amazon. I'm now highly considering doing so!
So glad i came across this video because i have just set up a CreateSpace account to get my children's books out there but was nervous about actually doing it, i now i feel so much better about giving it a go since i have a full time job anyway so this sounds the perfect choice for me, thank you so much for this clear and very informative video, from Kirsty xx
Happy to be able to help!
Appreciate that your being honest about your earnings
I really appreciate that you make this information available. It’s a huge aid to decision-making.
You're welcome! :)
This is very helpful, Gillian. Many thanks. And congratulations on the success of your book.
11 Published works since 04/16 all on Amazon. I self publish Romance and as of 04/19 everything available on KU. My books list of Kindle $3.99. July 19 income 646650 KU pages read total $2975. and Amazon Royalties $943. Total $3,918. My highest total month was $5,144 in March 19. I am so humbled that I have so many readers and I appreciate them so much and thanks to Amazon for the platform. I did submit to Harlequin in 84 but didn't make the cut.
Thank you for your transparency and your honest advice, congratulations on your success!
This video is exactly what I was looking for! :) legit, alot of vids on this stuff, u explained it straight forWARD
Good for you at the beginning. I never really pushed my book up front, so I bet I probably made only about $300 or $400 total on my book since 2013. I used Createspace and Amazon. Since that I added mine to Google and I think Barnes & Noble also has it though I didn't actually do anything for it to be on there.
I have to say, I love how transparent you're always willing to be.
I am about to publish my first book , after I worked on it for the past months. Finally the last step: publishing! So exciting ! Is your book on Kindle Select or Unlimited? Not sure what to choose.
thank you for your advice and your free checklist is very helpful. i am going to publish my book next month and your checklist will help me.
Hi G. I have been enjoying your videos. Just a thought about your book and your earnings. I am an author as well (this is a pen name). You might actually earn MORE royalties by lowering the price of your ebook. Many ebook buyers shy away from such expensive books, especially short ones. Fiction wise, 35,000 is actually a novella, not a novel. (Not trying to dis you about your book at all, just mentioning it because you are so straightforward yourself.) If you lowered your price to 5.99 or 4.99, you'd make less per book, but potential sell many more copies, raising your visibility on Amazon. Many successful authors operate on this theory. Remember, you can lower the price for a month and see how it goes. If it performs better at the higher price, then you can always mark it back to it's original price. Keep going kiddo. You are inspiring to watch! Li
Really wanted to thank you for the openness and your approach in this video! Many thanks!
Hey can you make a video about how to promote an ebook or paperback book like you did? My partner and I are considering writing a book and this video would be super helpful thanks
Thank you for your video, I found it very helpful and it's a good heads up on self publishing, I am currently in the process of publishing my own book, so, many thanks for the info and what to expect, I wish you continued success.
Hi. I wish to self publish my poetry book and my first novel too.. I found your videos wonderful as i dont really know anything about self publishing. Looking forward to more basic info from you. Thanks
So great to see how your book has been doing in the long-term!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Gillian!
Good video. You always hear claims about people making so much money on the Internet and most are bogus. It's good to hear that somebody did realize some success and has had some passive income to boot. I ran several ecommerce sites for several years and never made anything for all of the hours invested. Most of the people who have commented haven't realized anything from self-publishing. The degree of success that you have had is exceptional and it's good to know how it came about.
Love your video! I have been getting small royalty checks from Amazon for over two years now. I am a self published author with 14 books under my belt, with two more books ready to be published next week. Writers with Amazon receive 35 cents per copy sold, if the book sells for 99 cents. So it takes a lot of copies to earn 100.00 dollars, lol. I also have several hard back books that sell for more money, but in the long run, unless its a "How To Do", or a "How to Learn something" book, the "profits" are meager, unless of course, you happen to be a well known celebrity! Most self published authors have over 100 books published under various names. However, because I love to write, and although competition is fierce, I will keep plugging away until I reach that magical number of 100! TB Riggs.
Thanks Gillian. I have also used Creative Space to publish my first book. l have subscribe and thumb up!!
love your book title, with the world we live in today.
Conclusion: We write, spend, self publish for the live of writing...to fulfill a dream...not for gain...the chances of a good income is close to nil for most of us...Am trudging on anyway...bcuz I can...thanks for videi
I am thoroughly impressed with your honesty and thanks a ton for the helpful advice.
I have sold over 250,000 books in five years, and made over $600K., I know I'm unusual, in fact, some big name authors I know call me an anomaly. And my first traditionally published book, part of a three book series, is coming out in June. How did I do it? beats me.
Are you self publishing on Amazon Douglas?
@@LeighBurke I am. Under Doug Dandridge. I also have a traditionally published space opera series coming out in June. That will be one the publisher will invite other people to write in as well. But all of that was set up by being a success self-publishing.
That's great Doug! Are you a full time writer? Either way, your very prolific, that's a great body of work!
Thank you for your honesty, I stumbled upon other ppl promoting self-publishing and they were exaggerating in their numbers.
AWESOME😉thank you for being honest!!💋💗Gillian,;)
Now this is how I did it: I write about Texas history (1836 era). Now, did I go to a vanity, or 'real' publisher? NO! I took my MS to a local printer, had 50 copies printed, then sold them on Ebay/Amazon sites, and they sold well! I only printed in small batches of 25 to 50 copies, so I would not have a garage full of books printed by some vanity company. In other words, I printed only what I thought I would need, and kept the whole price/profit for myself!!!! It works folks! On the sites, I price them from $12.99 to $19.99, and kept the whole price. Sometimes I included shipment, or the buyer paid it. Local libraries have my books, Yale, etc., and even in far off Texas! It's been a blast!
I just self published my first book on my website. I’m really happy about the response I have gotten. I’m scared to put it on Amazon
J Washington was it a tough process?
No I posted a video on my channel giving advice and put the link to the website I used
Dream GD yes I use all of my social media platforms including TH-cam, Instagram, Facebook, tumblr, and twitter
Dream GD Jayah Washington
All the horror stories I have read seem to involve Kindle Unlimited somehow, not normal publishing via Amazon. KU does seem to give books a higher profil on Amazon, though.
Thanks!!!! I have always wanted to write my own children's book! Not for income just for the passion
Thank you for your honesty and transparency on your numbers! I'm going to subscribe!
You're welcome! Thanks so much
This was great information Im actually working on my own kids book!
I have a few questions!
Do you have to start a business to be able to sell your childrens books?
How do you go about doing taxes when you start selling books?
How about trade marks and copyrighting?
I would love to know more about how it all works.
I know how Kindle works, but I'm not sure how to draw people to the two little books I have so far. My riddles have gotten compliments from the few people who have bought a copy.
Extremely Helpful! I loved how you showed the break down through createspace.
Glad to hear that you found it helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Such a tough industry! Awesome approach, keep it up.
I self published a book on Amazon. The ebook is for school students. I think it is the first of kind of drawing books available on Amazon kindle. " Draw it neat" it's all about drawing Biology diagrams in progressive steps.
What a great and informative video!! Thank you so much 😊
Woah, inspiring. No BS guide on self publishing. Thanks!
Hello gillian perkins I watched ur vlog it really helped me to improve more thanks I like reading books
I am going to publish my book this is the most interesting part , to see the results
Great video Gillian!
Great video! Keep it up..
I self-published my book on amazon in 2015 and in 3 years I have sold 3 books.
Y is that
I'm typesetter from India (freelancer) I Do book and cover for very low cast which is your budget.
where did you promote your book - just curious, and how do you give your book a successful launch?
Thanks for being clear and honest.
My first book sold in 54 countries. Self published too.
That's awesome! Good for you!
Thank you. Clear, coherent, and informative.
Excellent presentation, but may I : "actually" is the most overused and misused adverb in English ( See Fowler)and I would suggest this example which is correct: "we expected a check for $100, actually, it turned out to be $200."
How did you give away all those books at the beginning of your launch?
like the honesty i'm trying to write an e-book also just to try also
Thanks for the honest feedback!
Thanks for the transparency.
I AM CURRENTLY WRITTING A BOOK BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH DOE SIT COST YOU TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK INDEPENDENTLY
Great Video....Thank you...Do you know if you begin with the "self promote method", and a publisher has interest, can you still contract with them after initial self publication?
Thank you for inspiring! Thinking of writing one❤️

You said you earned $3000 on 15,000 sales? What am I missing here?
Even if you gave away 5000 of that 15,000 for free, that's still 10,000 sales
I don't know how much you're selling your book for, but even if it's $5 a pop, you could still easily earn $1-$2 per sale
So to me, 10,000 sales could at least be about $15,000
You said you only made $3000, are you really spending $12,000 on the launch and advertising?
I'm super confused. What factors am I missing?
Commission is normally 50% If you sell for less than a dollar on Amazon is 70%.
Miranda Grant But if you sell 10,000 copies for $5 each at 50% commission, that’s still $25,000 revenue
maybe because of kindle
Probably gave away feee ebooks.
Chase The Vase and then later she says she's selling books for ten and making 7 or 8 so she got in on the Amazon authors plan where they give your book away and give you a small slice of a very large authors community type royalty pie.... Which is awesome to get your book read but if your objective is to sell books🙄🙃 it's still a good idea to an extent..... Not making much money this way but she got her book out there and in the future she sells her books at whatever her paperback price happens to be and makes fair royalties, which Amazon is actually known for as far as I know, and if she writes a book that gets a following she'll end up with a fan base
Ty very much. I will self publish soon.
Congratulations
Is Amazon referral program allowing to get money for a link to your own products?
Yes this a great information. Thank you, Gillian.
I have 2 titles on KDP / Amazon. Formerly Createspace. I make about $3.00 each month
I'll be self-publishing! Being an author is my dream, and I know it'll take a while before I can actually live off my earnings. My goal is one book a year (thank you NaNoWriMo!) For the first few years but I hope to get to publishing two books a year; if I only stay at one a year, that's still great!
Great video, and it's definitely informative.
Can I ask if you're happy with how your book looks printed by create space?
thank you Gillian for sharing this!
My novel is incredibly topical right now (midlife women fight against the divisions of hate, usher in a new era of peace). I promote it every day through social media memes, FB page, website, etc. Spent $100 in advertising this past month. Sold 5 copies. I paid $197 for book reviewing software. Sent out 2,000 targeted emails. Got 5 reviews, all 5-star. Spent 13 years writing the book and over 16 months promoting. Have made maybe $100. Trying to sell to libraries right now, but just about to walk away.
My opinion, for what it's worth. Your book, on what you've stated above, is only going to appeal to a very small market. You are also an unknown author. You can do all the things you listed above, but if the market appeal isn't there, it's not going to sell. There's also the factor of luck. I wrote a bunch of children's books and self published them about five years ago. Most didn't sell, or only sold a bit for a short period of time. However, one of the books was a hit. It's not selling near as much five years later as it did the first few years, but I still make (what I consider to be), a very decent sum every month. The book is ten pages long and took a weekend to write. I hardly marketed the book at all. I got lucky (and I thank my lucky stars!).
Watching this video in 2020 and wondering if you still have Bestseller Book Launch Workshops?
*sister are you a best seller in first attempt* ?
Please answer me 🙏
Thank you, that was a very nice and informative video!
You're brilliant

I've self-published about 14 books. That's 9 ebooks and 5 paperbacks. By the way, my name is Rodney Kawecki. I write physics. I have discovered a new travel glide theory you know like Alcubierre Warp Drive. Do you think Ill make any money? Especially a new theory? You look like someone I knew before. I haven't bought any of your books. Give me a review.
She's lucky or lying. I'm in writing groups. The few profiteers put in work.
10k annual ads, 11k sales, profit: negative 8k, with great reviews
She is not lying. Actually by many standards her book is doing far lower than many self-publishers I know. I am one of them.
