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! 💐👌🏾😍

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.
