[@goldendome-l1l]

hi. thank you for the video. i have a question..you said you earned 45S after deducting some costs and fees? what are you referring to and how much where those costs if its not a problem to ask? thank you in advance.

[@aishatabubakar5872]

hi, can I know how much you spent on advertising and platforms you used for promotion

[@thezinnystudio]

@@goldendome-l1l Not a problem at all. I currently charge $7.99 for the book. for every sale i make amazon pays me 60% royalty and keeps 40%. then on top, they charge me about $2.48 for printing, packing and shipping cost. At the end i make only $1.95 per book i sell. so the $47 dollars i made is from roughly 24 units at the time. Also something to note, if some of the sales comes from a different country, depending on the exchange rate, the royalty one makes, might be higher. I hope this explanation helps.

Hello just started this journey today,,hopefully all goes well.Thanks for the videos!

[@JohnathonRushman]

OMG, your videos are just the bomb! Every time I watch them, it's like discovering a treasure trove of fresh ideas and inspiration. I genuinely appreciate you sharing such amazing content.

[@rickwade9218]

Very good, no-nonsense video. I appreciate the detailed step-by-step.

[@thezinnystudio]

Glad you liked it

[@juliad5860]

Agreed.love your tutorial. Not too fast so I can understand better.

[@zaqwerty22]

Great guide. This AI can be useful for me not only for my future KDP but also for my animations. Thank you for guide. PS do t bother with people who complain about usind Amazon prime week or ads. If they do t understand they must to advertise books to sell them thats their problem. Any kind of business need to be advertised to customers. Good luck.

[@thezinnystudio]

Thanks

[@nadahelmy8412]

Thanks Zinny for your video! Good steps to follow:) We need a video please for running ads on KDP, and the best ways to do that as beginners! And is it okay to run it without time limit and then cancel it, or to put a time limit! Thanks again :)

[@thezinnystudio]

Noted!. For the Ads, i am currently testing it for a space of 3 months. trying to find what strategy works best. I will say have a time frame, then keep an eye on it, and switch off any ad that is making you lose alot of money and keep fine tuning it.

[@millionairemom]

Excellent. Might try the adult books ❤

[@lindahogan8293]

Hi Zinny, Do you provide 1 on 1 tutorial to individual that might need your assistance.

[@thezinnystudio]

Currently no. Hopefully soon

[@MuqaddasButt-zl2lr]

did u run ads also?

[@solank7620]

Did you use ads? If so, how much did you spend on ads?

[@powerfulmindbody]

Please show you didn’t run ads. Organically is hard to get sales. And not on prime week.

[@chrisharris5497]

Exactly I’ve got about 5 books published and I’ve not sold anything. I’m hoping my next 2 I’m waiting to get published could have more success

[@indirajalos29]

So agree

[@zaqwerty22]

But you understand you must do something to show your book to customers? 😏 How you want them to buy your book if you won't advertise it to anyone? You can use Amazon ads, if you have YT channel with lot of subscribers you can advertise it there. Same with any blog or website where you have subscribers or followers. You want just easy effect. Make book with AI do it in few hours, then upload it, forget about it and count money. Business doesn't work like that. With attitude like that you won't be successful with any kind of business. 🤦

[@GaylesPaintings]

Brilliant! Thank you SO much

[@merch.dododo]

hi. We create black border on page 1. How do they apply quickly to all other pages?

[@vanessa-wq4wy]

can this tool make an existing image that has colour into black and white for it to be a colouring book?

[@thezinnystudio]

yes. i have tried it, but i didn't cover that aspect in this video

[@canalimaginarium7036]

Hi, thanks for the video! Did you use amazon ads during this period?

[@thezinnystudio]

The result is for more than 15days (18days). So for the first 15days no ads, then after that I started running ads from the 16th day.

[@Viper3dc]

[@TITIWORLD671]

I wanted to ask you a question related to a previous video. Does your rpm and cpm increase over time. Thanks

[@thezinnystudio]

At the beginning it might. Then after you are of youtube for a while, you will notice, certain topics you cover have a higher CPM and rpm compared to others.

[@michaelgordon-u3z]

Your digital woman is good. May I ask which website’s digital woman you used?

[@thezinnystudio]

Thanks, there is a video tutorial on how to create talking avatar on the channel.

[@PixelPerfectBloem]

Thank you for the information. Newbie question. Why is there a blank page between every coloring page?

[@thezinnystudio]

Normally when people color on one page, it bleeds out at the back. You don't want the bleed messing up the next image that needs to be colored. That's the essence of the blank page. Even with the blank page, you will still need to ask the buyers to put a paper behind the blank while coloring. Orelse they will write review complaining about your book for no reason.

[@PixelPerfectBloem]

@@thezinnystudio thank you so much! So when you have a 50 page coloring book you will upload 100 pages to KDP and advertise it as 100 pages but there is only 50 coloring pages?

[@thezinnystudio]

@PixelPerfectBloem yes, but you have to say in your description. How many pages are for coloring.

[@PixelPerfectBloem]

@@thezinnystudio thank you!

[@astridfortin]

Did you run ads on it? Or was it organic sales?

[@thezinnystudio]

both. Organic for the first 15 days of the test and launched ads afterwards when i saw the book was selling

[@tutorialswithdila3584]

@@thezinnystudio how much have you spend please ?

[@thezinnystudio]

At the time of the test, the first 15days I didn't use ads. I believe I showed my royalties up to 18days. For the remaining 3days, which is not part of the test, I spent $6 per day.

[@Viper3dc]

@@thezinnystudio but you know about the "honeymoon" time a new book gets when its published? The first 3-4 Weeks the book is listed higher even when the book did not sell or sells not good. Most books fall in ranking after the honeymoon.. So the first 2-3 Weeks are not the "real" number of books you sold. Its pushed from amazon. Interessing is the time after the honeymoon... one to two months after releasing it.

[@benjaminowolabi6891]

Hello Zinny, thanks for this update and I have given this a try tonight. Fingers crossed. I just have one question, I saw one of your comment that you used ads to push after going organic for 15days, please what carddid you use to pay for the ads?

[@thezinnystudio]

Uwc. I I said I started running ads after the 15days of the test. The first 15days was organic sales. As for card, I live in Canada so I just used my credit card. I am assuming you don't live in North America. If that is the case I don't know what works for the country you live in, you will have to ask.

[@Alicia-ei6vs]

Unfortunately I don't know how you can go about, because I don't live in Africa, but someone mentioned, you should try Payoneer, if the person can explain further. Hopefully you can resolve it.

[@lindamartins9108]

Hi! I don't live in Africa either, I live in Venezuela where we have limitations for opening bank accounts in the USA. However, I know we can use Payoneer, she would have to check if they open accounts for people living in Africa. I hope this helps 😊

[@seemore2641]

Why are there so many interruptions in the clip? I did not see an explanation of how to make the main pages of the book in general. Thank you for the explanation, but I was hoping that there would be no deductions because I am a beginner.

[@thezinnystudio]

When you say you don't see how the main pages of the book was created. Please explain. Because I showed clearly how one can create the interior of the page, all they have to do is repeat the same process for the total number of pages they need.

When you have done your research properly, is very possible. Alot of people create low quality books and dump on Amazon expecting a magic to happen. In my case, maybe a bit of luck and it was also amazon prime week, so I don't know if that helped. But I tried as much a possible to make sure I did what I can from my end.

[@Viper3dc]

@@lisa-linb2788 in the first 3 weeks the book gets pushed from amazon even if it does not sell good. Its called "Honeymoon-phase". After 3 weeks (latest 4 weeks) this is over. Its much easier to sell books in the first 2-3 weeks then after this timeframe. You need to use Ads or you book will fall in ranking if it is not very very good and does not have any reviews.
