How I Made $3,461.58 On Amazon KDP in September 2023
In September 2023, I experienced some ups and downs with my Amazon KDP business, but I still managed to rake in an awesome income.
Here’s a breakdown of my earnings, my best-selling books, and the role advertising played in my strategy.
The Bigger Picture
This September, my KDP income stood at $3,461.58. Even though this was a 15% decrease from the previous month, I view it as a success.
The journey to this figure wasn’t a smooth sail, with some days witnessing skyrocketing sales and others dipping quite low.
It’s important to note that while most of my books are evergreen, like any business, the KDP venture is not immune to fluctuations.
Drawing a comparison, in September 2022, I made just $853.54. The dramatic rise in a year is a testament to the magic of consistency and gradual improvement.
Starting my KDP journey in mid-2020, I’ve seen how persistence and steady effort can compound results over time.
Top Sellers for the Month
A closer look at my portfolio reveals:
- A logbook which grossed a whopping $1090.38. Though I advertise all my books, I’ve cut down on ads for this particular one over time.
- An activity book, which made $950.43 has always been always a consistent seller.
- A quiz book, made $496.58 which in recent times, has been fetching me between $300 to $500 monthly.
- An activity book, created this year earned $348.56 is also gaining more traction.
- Another activity book created this year made $114.85.
While the above books were my top earners, the rest did contribute, albeit in smaller amounts.
Ad Strategy: An Essential Component
Advertising remains integral to my KDP business.
The ad game is crucial. As KDP becomes increasingly competitive, it’s imperative to run ads to stay a step ahead of competitors.
