I like to be transparent about my earnings because I want you to see that creating an additional income stream is possible—even if you have a busy life. I still work a full-time job. I'm also a mom to a young child, and like many of you, I have a lot competing for my time. That's why I love self-publishing. Once a book is created, it can continue working for you long after you've finished writing it. 📚 Paperback & Ebook Results - Lifetime Royalties: $68,057.75 🎧 Audiobook Results - Audible doesn't make it easy to calculate lifetime earnings because I'd have to download and total every royalty statement individually. However, based on my historical average royalty earnings per sale under the previous royalty model, I've had nearly 17,000 audiobook sales/downloads, which puts my estimated audiobook royalties at roughly $60,000+. 💵 Combined Estimated Lifetime Earnings - Books (Paperback + Ebook): $68,057 - Audiobooks (Estimated): $60,000+ - Total: Over $128,000 in approximately 3 years Is that enough to replace my day job today? No. But has it helped create more financial freedom, additional income, and opportunities that wouldn't have existed otherwise? Absolutely. The biggest mistake I see people make is waiting for the "perfect" time to start. Every month you delay publishing is another month your future books aren't out there working for you. Imagine where you could be 1 year from now if you started today. What Book Earnings Milestone (PER MONTH) Do You Want to Hit?

Are we surprised who won the leaderboard this month? I'm not shocked @Gemma Coles won AGAIN! But, the reason she won is that she was taking action, going through the lessons, preparing her book, and actually executing a book launch, so she was showing up every day! What does Gemma WIN?!? Well, since she is already a VIP member with me, I'm going to give her an extra opportunity to cash in on another 7-day PINNED post to help promote her book or future book again in the future. For those of you who would like to promote your own book in the community, I offer: - 24hr Pinned Post for $10 - One Week Pinned Post & Email $50 Also, huge shoutout to our other highly active community members this month @Lara Knutzen @Nick Nebelsky @Pat Terrell @Cristal Vancarson Thank you all for showing up and spending time here, engaging with other members. I truly appreciate all of you in making this community the amazing space that it is. 💖

Hey KDP Publishing fam! 👋 My name is Kisha and I am SO excited to finally be here at level 2 and able to post! 🙌 Here's my story in a nutshell, I can say now that I am a ghostwriter and I am so close to completing my very first book for a client! Let me tell you, the excitement of seeing it come together hit me just as hard as if my name were on the cover! The best part? I negotiated a generous percentage of the sales, so every copy sold is a win for me too! 💰 I won't pretend I have it all figured out, I am very much in learning mode and soaking up everything I can about this publishing world. 😂 Now here's what I really want to know from all you amazing authors who've been on this road before me… 💬 What is ONE thing you wish someone had told you BEFORE you published your first book? Drop it in the comments, I am taking notes and I want ALL the gems! 💎 Looking forward to learning, growing, and connecting with all of you!

You don't need an audience to become an authority. You need a book. A published book on Amazon does something no social media post can do, it signals credibility on its own. People find your book through search, not through your follower count. That means someone with zero social media presence can still be "the person who wrote the book on YOUR NICHE" — literally. And once that authority exists, it opens doors. Speaking gigs, consulting clients, and course buyers want to work with the expert. A book makes you that expert before you've said a single word. Social media builds attention. Books build authority. Both matter, but one of them works while you sleep. People find your book on Amazon, read it, get value from it and then want to work with you more. 👉 What are you going to write your book about? Drop it in the comments!
