Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear about your awesome results at 11:22. I'm truly sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace. Your poem is beautiful. At 72 years old, I've discovered a passion for creating journals, notebooks, planners, and more. My family is amazed by my creations and believes I manifested these great books. I can hardly believe it myself. Thanks to Kim for the easy step-by-step guide on creating low-content KDP books! Feel free to use this post to inspire others. A.M. Perkins is my pen name! 💐👌🏾😍

Can we talk about your low ACOS? Would be great to do a deeper dive on your AmazonAds strategy.. I made ~$18k for Dec the bulk coming from 8 books, but my ACOS has never been that low.. Congrats 🎉 Again would love to understand your approach.. thank you!

[@YourChicGeek]

Sure thing! I’ll make a video soon to talk about some of the strategies I use. Also congrats on $18k! Thats amazing!!!

Wow! Your December earnings are seriously impressive! It's really encouraging to see your transparency about the ups and downs of Amazon KDP. Your video gives me a lot of motivation to continue investing my time and energy into self-publishing. Thanks for sharing your journey, your success is truly inspiring! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next income report.

[@YourChicGeek]

You can do it! Thanks for watching!

[@TheHashtagHEROTV]

Congrats Kim! Thank you for sharing your December earnings and also that beautiful poem at the end. I consider you a Kdp mentor of mine from a far 😇 I had my best December yet as well. I 3x’d what I made last December w Kdp which is still mind blowing to me as well!! Your videos have helped me a ton the past year especially the ones about ads and ad strategy. I’m so glad to be in this space and grateful that people like you are in it too 🎉

[@YourChicGeek]

Hello there! This is great to hear and thank you sooo much for the support.

[@refreshstreams]

Thank you for this channel. Can you make a video on getting started with kdp and guide on how to get started using it.

[@YourChicGeek]

I will put that on my to do list. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@DavidLeah]

Your templates are amazing

[@YourChicGeek]

Awww thank you David!!!

[@DavidLeah]

@@YourChicGeek True story. I found them very useful. I was struggling to get a sense on how to design a cover journal, and upon buying your templates (great investment) my eyes opened an entire path of possibilities in terms of cover creation showed up and for that I am grateful. I made 1 sale. Its the beginning but I'm hopeful

[@RagsToNiches]

Hey Kim, Happy New Year - but I'm sorry for your loss and that's a beautiful poem, thank you for sharing it. It's also a good reminder. Congratulations on your December, great result! It seems like a lot of people had their best month this year! Which is so interesting, considering the royalty decrease and so on. Have an awesome 2024!!! x

[@YourChicGeek]

Heya Nat! How are you ladybug. I appreciate your support and im glad you liked the poem. I hope youre feeling better and I know you are crushing it on KDP. Cant wait to see your income reports. They always motivate me. :-)

[@RagsToNiches]

@@YourChicGeek Hey, thank you very much. Feeling better now, but also we just moved house and had various things that sent me a little off track after that! I'm trying to get back to KZbin in the next week or so, I hope! Xx

Im so sorry for your loss 🥺💖🙏But thank you so so much for sharing that poem with us! What a great new perspective 🙂💖🙏 And congrats on the income youre killing it!

[@YourChicGeek]

Thanks so much Audrey! Sometimes I honestly debate whether or not to share income/results bc I know that people struggle with making sales. But...I hope that this shows that it is possible. Now I am just focusing on getting things to level off because after Q4 is over, my sales drop wayyy down. So it definitely pays to create a business that is more consistent over time.

[@DannyOnDemand]

Well done Kim 🙌🏾, really happy to see you succeed. Sorry for your loss, thanks for sharing such a lovely poem! All the best for 2024!

[@YourChicGeek]

Thanks so much Danny! I appreciate your support and love seeing that you are crushing it as well. Wishing you all of God's absolute BEST in 2024 too :-)

[@selfpublishingempire]

Loved seeing this Kim. Thanks for sharing as always, and great to see your continued growth! I think a lot of our learnings from the month line up too, which is always great to see - my Australia ads were incredible too, will definitely be more aggressive there in Q4 2024.

[@YourChicGeek]

Thanks so much! I was definitely shocked with the earnings this year. Super grateful. And Kudos to you because you totally crushed it. Heres to making 2024 EPIC.

Great poem.. I felt it 😢

[@YourChicGeek]

Thank you! Yep its one of my favs.

[@iartol]

Thank you!! December 2023 was my best month yet as well, but only with a fraction of your royalties. Looking at your KDP Champ stats, some of them are just amazing. It looks like you maintain around 15% ACOS? I gotta watch more of your videos to find out more of what you're doing; just fantastic KDPing

[@YourChicGeek]

Thanks so much! Yep my ACOS was pretty good for December and its bc more people were buying books. I know it will go up over the next few months though since Christmas is over so I am mentally preparing for it. Glad you had a great month :-) and thanks for the support.

[@iartol]

@@YourChicGeek Of course. Also, I wasn't expecting a "moral of the story" at the end of the video when you talked about your friend/mentor, but that was the best part. God bless you; puts the rest of it in context - your friend is survived by you being a mentor to us here on KZbin :) 🙏🏼

[@kentfaver1367]

Congrats Kim!

[@YourChicGeek]

Thank you Kent!

[@iartol]

I get a little jealous of the low Australia ACOS; KDP Erik gets that too. My top niche doesn't seem to do that well in Aus. Maybe I can find another niche that can perform in Aus like that; not all do

[@YourChicGeek]

Yep! Its all about testing. I was pleasantly surprised with my AU results. Will definitely keep running ads there.

[@Bennythesupersnooper]

I would love to know your secret for doing the 7 KDP keywords. I just can’t crack it.

[@jc4evur661]

Thanks for the video! Do books have shelf lives? What I mean is maybe certain books that were once good sellers for you start to peter out after a while? How about the other way...do you find that books that weren't great movers suddenly gain in popularity unexpectedly? Thanks!

[@razsmolsky6577]

Hi kim, can you do something to impruve the sound quality?

[@YourChicGeek]

Will try to do better…My other videos sound a lot better than this one. Thanks for checking this out.

[@ruslank4028]

Wow! Awesome numbers! How do you sell to different markets? Do you sell the same books? I was contemplating about that but what stops me is that some words are spelled differently in American English and in British, Australian English. Sometimes some items are called differently. E.g. pants vs. trousers, sneakers vs. running shoes etc. How to do handle such cases? I don't want to create two versions of the same book and correct such words in them. Btw, even if I choose US market as the primary market, aren't the books supposed to appear in all markets automatically? At least, at the last stage of the book uploading process when I enter the price of the book it gets recalculated for all markets in respective currencies.

[@YourChicGeek]

These are great questions! I will be addressing this in an upcoming video.

Wow. Sorry for your lost. How much are spending a day to get these results? I have 2 coloring books im pushing.

Hey there! So for Q4, I spent upwards of around $50-$70 a day to get these results and trust me...I tried not to check as it gave me heartburn. lol!

@@YourChicGeek LOL. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, that will make me nervous but im willing to try.

That is amazing. I noticed you have 528 books. How long did it take you to write all 528 books?

[@YourChicGeek]

Hey there! This is a great question. It took me some years to get to this point tbh. Definitely wasnt an overnight process at all. But I will say that there are folks out there that are killing it with way less books so please dont think that you need this many books to make good $$$.

[@ericphilipmartin1964]

@@YourChicGeek Thank you. Those are encouraging words. Now I just have to get my writing confidence up. I have several books in me that my spirit wants to get out. 🙂

[@arr.i]

so how many books or journals should I sell in one month?

[@YourChicGeek]

That depends on how much you want to make. What is your income goal?

[@KMiley]

How can you make money with 35% commissions?

[@analyst1777]

Does sales normally drop off in January? I had to turn off my ads. No sales this month

[@YourChicGeek]

Yes they do for most folks. Mine have dropped off but I expected them too after Q4 was over. Hope that helps.
