I've got something I wanna run past you, and I genuinely want your honest answer. When I started this channel it was all about self-publishing, and that's still a huge part of what I do. But the truth is I've never been only a self-publisher. I've built other businesses over the years, online and offline, because relying on one single way to make money has always felt risky to me. A lot of what I teach about KDP actually comes from general online business principles, things like how to sell digital products. So I'm considering an evolution. Turning the channel into more of a personal brand under my name, where I'm free to talk about everything I know, how to make money online with different methods, how to sell digital products, how YouTube works as a business, all of it, with KDP still right in the mix. Here's the part I think actually matters for you. When you understand all these business models, you stop seeing them as separate things and you start mixing them, using the advantages of each one together, and that's where the real money is. That's exactly what I do. Self-publishing is one of my main businesses, but it's not the only one, and the best thing I can show you is everything I do, not just the KDP slice of it. You'd get to see how the whole thing fits together. And honestly, I might show you more than just the business side. More of how I actually live, the day to day, because I think some of you would appreciate seeing that my life is pretty normal. I just have a different job than most people. It's a different way of living, but I'm a regular guy, and that's kind of the point, because if I can do this, you can too. Before I commit to anything though, I wanna hear from you ❤️

But when will the royalties be deposited into my bank account? How long does it usually take?

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to self-publishing and wanted to introduce myself. I've published my first book, and while it's been an exciting journey, I'm still struggling to make my ads profitable. I'm now preparing to launch my second book and hoping to learn from both my successes and mistakes along the way. For those further along in your publishing journey: When did ads start working for you? Do you manage them manually, or use any optimization tools or services? If you could give one piece of advice to your past self, what would it be? Looking forward to learning from your experiences.

Who is having success using TikTok to promote your books? I’m not on TikTok yet, but I’m planning to set up an account because it seems like a great way to promote books. It was actually a YouTube video by @Davide Altieri that led me to this community and encouraged me to buy his training. I’m looking forward to learning more, and I’d love to hear any success stories, tips, or lessons learned from those of you using TikTok to promote your books.

Hi everyone, I’m Steve Lacy. I’m a pastor and a soon-to-be published author. I’m looking forward to learning a different way to promote a book beyond the standard approach of buying ads on Amazon. I’m excited to connect with this community, learn from others, and pick up practical ideas I can put into action. Looking forward to learning a lot!
