@@SeanDollwet Got some questions for you. 1.) Do you primarily write eBooks or hard cover? 2.) How much would you spend ideally on Book cover? Writing / editing and marketing?

[@SeanDollwet]

@@matthewsdonnelly i do all ebook, print, audio. Cover for $115, ghostwriter $2.5 per 100 words. Marketing start from $500 but if im getting ROI ofc i will keep putting more in

@@SeanDollwetHey Sean, if you don’t mind telling us, how many words should a “decently sized” ebook include on average? Like what should you normally aim for? 20,000? 5,000? 1,000?

[@miki_wiki12]

All in. I’ve had a bit of success with low content books and will now reinvest in medium/high content books. Been following you for a while now. Congrats on your channel growth. You are crushing it on all fronts.

[@sharonl226]

All in ❤ Thank you, Sean, so much. I have published 3 books in the last 2 weeks. They could be a lot better, but I jumped in boots and all by following your KZbin videos and had a go. I am working on number 4 at the moment, and I can see that I am getting better every time. I have just started my ad campaign on one of them as well by following your video. I can't afford to do your course, but I am determined to make this work. Thank you again ❤

Thanks to your videos, I published my first self-help journal. I work as a therapist in the mental health field, and I felt that because my license is in a niche area, I could help people in this way as well. Thanks for all the tips!

[@georgiosp.1706]

Hi everyone! Sean, I would like to congratulate you on what you are doing...because, above all, you give people (myself included) hope and inspiration! That can't be bought with all the money in the world! Thank you and greetings from Greece!

[@roseprieto9174]

I agree! xoxo

[@practicallyprepared9389]

I published 5 books with 3 different big publishers. I did very well on 2 books and earned back significant advances on the 3 books that did less well. I am moving into KDP in part because of my age. I don’t want to wait 2 solid years from concept to publication, nor do I want to deal with publishers changing my titles or editing out details that mattered to me. I have already published 5 books that were learning experiences for me. Now I plan to jump into figuring out the social media marketing. I appreciate all I’ve learned from you.

[@Theloveofthegame-rc3li]

[@KidaniShawn]

Been lurking and watching for a while. Great stuff. I have been publishing low and medium content books for over a year. I have had some success with my puzzle books, but not so much on my coloring books. Biggest thing for me is visibility and marketing. I recently decided to invest and purchase Publisher Rocket to help with research and keywords, so hopefully my books will stand out.

[@jeanshelbybooks4154]

Right now I’m working at writing and building my community. I love writing my own books and over the next 6 month I’ll be publishing 5. 😊

I've had 3 low content books up for sale for about a year but they've not really done much. The past 2 weeks I've released 3 puzzle books. I need to start marketing them. But I'm also going to make some high content books as you mentioned and really put the effort in with them. A lot of this stems from watching your videos, so thank you for your content, it's been very useful so far.

This is off-topic, but is it best to use an Amazon UPC code or purchase one? My understanding is that once you publish with Amazon, you cannot list your book anywhere else, but if you bought one or more codes yourself, you can publish it anywhere, even on Amazon.

$20 per hour doing what job? I earn €12-13 gross per hour which is even less in USD, and that is considered "good" on an average scale, given that food is probably cheaper in US and we pay even more taxes and not complainig about it as much as an average American.

[@SeanDollwet]

Why focus on the $20 an hour example when that’s not even the point I was making

[@sanjinmujkic7171]

@@SeanDollwet Oh, don't get me wrong, I know the point you are making. I have been following your videos for a long time and have already published a book. I really believe in this business model, but I am referring to the fact that now I understand why people, including me, who are outside of the US can't really invest in stuff. I would love to be able to join your program, but as it is, I am struggling even to pay my rent while still working a full time job. Although I still appreciate it, I am stuck with free content and doing everything myself. It is good fortune that I am a graphic designer and a DTP Specialist, so I know how to make HQ covers and formatting. I am not using Canva but rather Adobe Indesign & Adobe Illustrator for my books. I am telling this only for you to try to understand while a lot of people get a blockade or are demoralized by this...or any business model actually. Why they are so tipped about "investing". That's the only tip that ticked me, everything else you said is pure gold. Thank you for making a free content for us.

[@Sven_E07]

My biggest goal in life is to become a novel writer (I'm learning the craft of writing for years now until I think it's good enough). There's nothing above artistic realization. No money. Nothing. But atm I'm studying and working + writing, researching, rewriting. I have the advantage of a little time off now from work. Earning money like this would be a dream and I'm rotating this idea in my head for a while now... BUT I live in Germany and we have much regulation, taxes, you need a legal notice on the product if you earn money with it (publicizing my name and address?? Who wants to do this?) Will I waste my little time? In all those videos it seems as if you just sit down, generate things and that's it... Things like these crucial considerations/possible legal traps demotivate me before I start. I will give it a try as soon as my exames are over but the fear of a trap (taxes, legal notice etc.) is there. I know real cases where people "just did it" or how regulations torpedo their businesses. Germany doesn't really want you to be successful and independent, quite like all left leaning governments, the U.S. administration right now with their economical "aspirations". This is not an excuse not to do it, but it's an unconvenient pattern that I learned from people with own businesses I know.
