Journey to $1500/Month With KDP, Apple iBooks and more Before 31 March 2024

[umo98]

Hi, I have been working with Amazon KDP for 11 months. Last year (2022) in March, I created my Amazon KDP account and published some books as an amateur. Over time, I watched most of the videos on this topic on YouTube, examined some niche topics in detail, and continued to create various books on these topics. And here are my results at the end of 11 months:


I have unpublished 273 of my books from publication because they looked too amateurish. Therefore, I currently have 476 books. My books mostly have low content.

As it seems now, I have a monthly income of $202 (2229/11). In my country (Turkey), an amount of around $1500 is sufficient for a comfortable living.

I also created an Apple iBooks author account this month. (I haven't published any books yet. I am trying to figure out how it works.)

Additionally, I plan to sell some e-books on my website that I am creating. The site is still under construction and I am currently working on organizing it. I plan to finish it by the end of March. (Currently, it is 70% completed)

Monthly Goals for March 2023

• I should publish around 10-15 books. (My books have low content, but they take a lot of time to prepare)
• I need to increase my income for March by 10% compared to last month. I expect my income for February to be $300. My goal for March is $330.
• I should publish one book on the Apple iBooks.
• I should create a YouTube channel to promote my books on both Apple iBooks and Amazon KDP. I plan to share short videos on the channel.
• I am not a professional, but I have some design skills (Canva Pro). I should create a designer account on Creative Fabrica. I applied for it yesterday and I am expecting a response within 5 days.
• I need to make my self-created website ready for book sales.

Monthly Goals for March 2024 ($) (If I achieve these goals early, I will write new goals.)

• Amazon KDP: 800
• Apple iBooks: 200
• Youtube (book affiliate programs, for example digistore24, amazon associates): 150
• Creative fabrica: 150
• My website: 200

Each month I will write here at the end of the month whether my goals have been achieved or not and new goals. If something very important happens, I will write here every weekend.

That's all for now. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them as soon as I can.

I'm not a native English speaker, so I may have made some mistakes. I am sorry about that.
