I Sold 210 Books Yesterday! (KDP Blog: Jan 5, 2023)
January is typically a prosperous month for me, often yielding royalties comparable to December’s. In fact, I anticipate this January may even surpass the previous month. Just yesterday, I sold 210 units, earning $400.93 in royalties! The preceding two days were also fruitful, making me hopeful for an excellent January.

I believe the consistency in my January earnings is due to the range of books I have published that align with many people’s New Year’s resolutions. I prefer not to disclose the specific niches to avoid an influx in competition, but I’ll mention a niche I haven’t explored: monthly budget planners. As many set financial goals at the year’s start, these books see a heightened demand in January.
What did I get up to with KDP today?
Despite waking up late — a trend since the year’s start — I managed to dedicate about two hours to KDP. This included reviewing A+ content my VA created for a book, making a video to outline necessary revisions, and assigning him another project. I spent 30–40 minutes at the end catching up on KDP-related YouTube videos.
Hiring a VA has significantly freed up my time, allowing me to delve deeper into research and expand my knowledge of KDP. In this constantly evolving business, continuous learning is essential to stay ahead.
