I won't lie...

My Amazon KDP sales slowed down in January.

However, I'm also not surprised.

I have over 14 years of corporate retail experience
(Abercrombie & Nike)

So I understand the retail calendar.

Here's what I'm doing to improve my KDP sales

-QUICK THREAD-

[cont...]
First, let me share my Amazon KDP Journey

August - bought a gumroad course & learned

September - $40.39 in sales
October - $77.30
November - $155.40
December - $145.22
January - $67.65

I'm playing the long game

I'm confident by EOY I'll be having $500+ months

[cont...]
I'm building a business, and a personal brand

Not a get rich quick plan, if that even exists outside the lottery...

I just want to stress my long term plan

Along with the power of selling on Amazon dot com

Keep following.

Ok - so what am I doing to increase sales?

[cont...]
1) Think Beyond Notebooks

A lot of us, including me, talk about blank lined notebooks

Why?

- It's a good start to learn the process
- It's fast
- It's easy

It also bogs down Amazon as it's a numbers game

You might get lucky with a banger

But think bigger

2) How Do I Think Bigger?

Hit up Creative Fabrica, invest $5 in an interior:

- planners
- coloring books
- other low content books

Your sales will improve & Amazon will be happier too

Want to be a pro?

Head to Fiverr and hire a ghostwriter to write you a cookbook

[cont...]
3) Do A Price Check

Most of us are selling 6" x 9" paperback blank lined notebooks

You can get a hardback Kate Spade inspired book for $7.99

So why are you selling yours for $8.99?

Check your native selling price

And your international pricing conversions

Compete

[cont...]
4) Do A Quality Check

Order author copies

Look at your product in your own hands

How's it look?

Be critical

Determine where in your cover design and where in your interior you can get better

Make the changes

[cont...]
Finally, I'm learning new things everyday

Keep following along as I'm confident I will have bigger results in the future

MUCH BIGGER... I know it will happen, I won't give up.

Thanks for following along
