Thank you for sharing this information. I'm glad you chose to make the video before you got to where you felt successful. It's amazing that you have made so much, even without a profit so far. I think it shows that people are interested in your products!
Thank you! I want to be super transparent about my Amazon KDP journey so I can help others, and hopefully we can grow our businesses together! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and resources! I love your channel!❤
Thanks for watching! More videos coming soon! 😊
I just learned about this today and I’m so grateful I found such a recent video! Guess it means I’m not too late to the party.
It’s definitely not too late! I thought the same thing when I start 6 months ago but there is room for everyone to make money! More videos coming soon! 😊
Nice to see you publishing KDP videos, thanks for sharing your journey so far. Looking forward to more videos 👍🏾
Thanks for watching! You definitely inspired me to start posting videos again. I love your channel!
Great work. Thanks for sharing your journey and results. I've been publishing on KDP since 2019 and it's clear you're on the right track. Your consistency is really going to pay off. Good luck look forward to future videos!
Thank you for watching and the encouragement! I’m excited to make more videos and share my journey! 😊
This was super helpful and cool!
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 😊

Thanks for posting. I always enjoy your content.
Your comment made me smile! Thanks for watching! 😊
I love your transparency. Subscribed 👍🏻.
Thank you! 😊
Love the raw and honest approach here. Very refreshing and provides incredible value compared to other youtube approaches (aka false figures, selling courses and clickbait!). Look forward to seeing more of your journey.
Thank you for the kind words! More videos coming soon! Thanks for watching! 😊

Thankyou for being transparent, You are the most real KDP youtuber I've heard.
Thank you so much for the compliment! I really appreciate that! More videos coming soon!😊
This is amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! More videos coming soon! 😊
I would love a tutorial on how you create coloring books. I'm really interested in how to create coloring pages with Midjourney. I've just started and I'm terrible at creating prompts, lol. Thank you for your videos!
I'm working on a Midjourney coloring book tutorial right now to post very soon! Prompts can be tricky to get a grasp on so hopefully I can help with that! Thanks for watching! 😊
This is awesome! I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I have 20+ resources published & have yet to see those numbers in royalties 😥
Keep going! I refuse to give up until I’m making the type of income I want, which is 5 figures a month!
Thanks for sharing🥰
Hello Catherine,
Thank you for sharing your experience with KDP! Such an informative video. I’m getting very discourage putting up my first low content book because of all the video here on CZcams saying that it might not be worth it anymore. Would love to see a video of how the ads works. Thank you! 😊
Hi! Thanks for watching! It’s definitely not too late. I thought the same thing when I started 6 months ago and I’m able to make sales each month. If I can do it, you can do it! I’ll definitely make a video on what I’ve learned from ads and post that video soon! 😊
Thank you for sharing
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for being transparent. I enjoyed the video🥰. Kindly make a tutorial on how to find coloring book niches easily and how to create them 🙏
Thanks for watching! I plan on making a lot of coloring book tutorials because that is what I mostly publish! Stay tuned 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing. Did you do any extra thing to make this happened? I published a couple so far but wondering if I had to do differently than what I followed CZcams instruction?
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Great video. I love the honesty about your ad spending, and giving the details about your journey. I just published my first two books and am trying to learn. The only thing is, i've got my computer turned up to 100 and can barely hear you. I think the problem is on your end. You might want to be louder on your next video.
I adjusted my sound and started using a microphone so my newest videos should sound a lot better. Thanks for watching! 😊
Just subscribed 😊
Thank you for subscribing! More videos coming soon! 😊
Hello Catherine, thanks for this great video. I'd be interested to see video tutorials for coloring books and low content books.
In coloring books does using colored pens bleed on the page behind it?
Thanks for watching! I just posted a low content book tutorial! A coloring book tutorial is coming up soon! 😊
Thank you for you
Thanks for watching!
Great.
Thanks for watching! 😊
I'd like to see a video about the programs and resources you suggest to create your products.
You got it! 😊
Thannnk you!
Of course! Thanks for watching! 😊
Have you released the medium content creation video yet? I may have tricked myself into thinking it's there if you haven't yet. 😅I really appreciated the low content video!
I haven't yet but I am working on several medium content videos right now and I hope to release at least 1 this week! Thanks for watching! 😊
how much did you spend on Ads in June? Just take the keywords that make sales and only advertise to them in a manual campaign but don't target broad or phrase and then slowly lower bid if you still are getting impressions
Thanks for watching! 😊 I’m working on my July income report right now and I’m going to go over my June income briefly as well! My ad spend for August so far is a lot less than it has been. I’ll keep everyone updated! 😊
Your journey is so beautiful like you. I will advice you stop running ads and allow Amazon to do the rest.
Whats wrong with running ads to promote books?
@@mysteryworld8170idiot can't you see she's in 33dollars negative!!!!
That Awesome
Thanks for watching! 😊
How do I get started and how much do I have to pay to start?
We appreciate this video❤❤❤
New Sub here🎉🎉🎉
Heyy!! Hope u r doing good. I am a college going student needed a little help. Should i start publishing books from now will it be profitable? And what should i keep in mind while making books and how do you create books?
Would be greatfull if you made a seperate video for this.
And congrats for your growth
Hi! Thanks for watching. My next video is going to be a full tutorial for beginners on how to get started with Amazon KDP. It’s definitely still possible to start creating books and start making passive income! 😊
Thank you so much 💓 , i have a question, how can i get the best keywords in kdp and what is the tool you use please 🙏
Yes! I will do a video on keywords and tools very soon! Thanks for watching! 😊
@@catherinewestbrooksYeah, because i publish over than 20 book per month and i make just 8 or 10 $ 🥲 , and you publish just 6 or 7 and you got a good results, I hope to share with us your strategy, thank you 😊
Hi, thanks for the information. How many pages should a kids coloring book have on average?
I usually have 104 pages in a kids coloring book (title page, thanks for purchasing/leave a review page, and then 50 coloring pages with a blank page after each coloring page so the colors don't bleed-through on the next image). Thanks for watching! 😊
Did you form an llc to get started?
Do you do standard color or premium for color activity books?
I do premium color because standard color books have to be a certain length and my activity books are shorter. Thanks for watching! 😊
So a big question is that how you are maintaining your motivation to keep going with your KDP business as you are not in peofit since the last 7 months?
I also came across some people who are generating on average $400-$500 per month without ads. So dont you think there could be any strategy to be in profit this way where we spend $0 on ads and stay in profit consistently.
I also know people who are generating thrice the amount they are spending on ads like spending $3000 could help them generate $9000 easily. This could happen both in a single month and in the cousre of 6 months period depending on how the budget is set.
What in your opinion might be going wrong in your AMS marketing strategy?
Thanks for watching! My motivation is seeing other book listings that are independently published and not running ads who are making great sales! Also, I really love publishing books so it's really not "work" for me to do. I love the process. I have decreased my ad spend a lot this last month so I hoping to see a big jump in profit for August. I'll do a July report early this week! 😊
please make video on how can we find book nishes?
Hi! Thanks for watching! I will make a video on how to find KDP niches very soon! 😊
U have run automatic ad or manual ad ? ❤
Both! I plan on making videos in the near future about how I run my ads! Stay tuned! 😊
hey I sold 3 books on 28th of July but my royalties aren't getting updated?
Thanks for watching! Royalties don't update for a day or so. If you still don't see your royalties after a day or so, I would go to contact KDP and ask. I hope it updates soon!
@@catherinewestbrooks hey i asked them they said those were kdp select sales for free! Will this increase my future sales without promotion.
So basically the only one who makes real money is Amazon..the fact is that without ads there are no sales! Is anyone profitable on Kdp? Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yes, there are a lot of Amazon KDP publishers that don’t run any ads at all and make a substantial income. I featured one of those books in this video that is making $675 per month from one coloring book and is not running ads at all so it’s definitely possible. I’m just spending way too much money on my ads. For my July KDP income, I’m hoping that I’m profitable. It looks like I will be right now based on my numbers. I have decreased my ad spend by a lot these last two weeks so we’ll see! 😊
This is confusing...you say you only had 6 books published but it shows on ur report that you have 31 books??
That was confusing to me as well when I first started watching income report videos! Amazon shows your total amount of books published regardless of the dates you have selected. So it was showing my total amount of books when I made the video (which was 6 months into my KDP journey). Thanks for watching! 😊
