It’s not recommended to distribute to Amazon KDP using Draft2Digital, as your royalty rate will be reduced further if your book is priced lower than $2.99. It’s better not to distribute to Kobo because by doing so, you would be depriving yourself of Kobo’spromotional opportunities for i...
The vast majority of the KU library is self-published books, in part because every author whoenrolls in KDP Selectautomatically has their book added to it. This is great for readers seeking up-and-coming titles that haven’t entered the mainstream yet, and even better for the authors who ...
Age of the book is a unique feature that can tell you a lot about a competitor or the genre as a whole. A new book may have more immediate sales if there was a lot of media attention or a loyal following for the author on Amazon KDP. An older book that still maintains bestseller s...
This next boat is much nicer than my last one, and I owe that to my readers. I owe it to my writing. I owe it to the years I spent pursuing something that I love. I owe it mostly to KDP, CreateSpace, and ACX. These tools allowed me to share my stories with the world. There ...

We did promise you a nifty tip with regards to KDP Print and IngramSpark, and it’s time to deliver! To maximize the benefits of both of these printers, you can distribute to Amazon via KDP Print but opt out of their expanded distribution. Then use IngramSpark to distribute everywhere but...
after my first self-published book (THE THERAPIST WRITER: Helping Mental Health Professionals Get Published)was launched on Amazon’s CreateSpace (now called kdp). My first blog was about celebrating “writer independence” through self-publishing, instead of traditional publishing with all its gatekee...
Just an IT and KDP staff for a volume that probably earns out the daily costs by 7 in the morning. In truth, Amazon is unlikely to substantially change the wholesale pricing to self-pubbed authors very much. The only thing that might change that is if the quantity of “almost no ...
Nah, it sold more than that but not a lot. I think one of my royalty checks from Amazon was for 80 cents. You either gotta laugh at that or cry. The problem with publishing on KDP is that the only place readers can get your book is at, well, Amazon. Not Barnes & Noble, not ...
