Romney, thank you for including your dog in your video! Your videos are always very informative and educational. You are so caring and thoughtful in helping other authors with self-publishing! Thank you for sharing your publishing story, the hard times when you started and not making money for months and then the victory of now making thousands per month! I agree there are way too many videos and advertisements saying you can easily and quickly make thousands per month. It takes a lot of hard work. Thank you for sharing that! I love all of your videos and courses and have learned so very much!!
Hi Kimberly, thank you so much. Yes, Ruby has only ever featured in a couple of my videos but I didn't have the heart to move her when filming from her favourite chair. She keeps me company every day!
I'm more than happy to share my story. I just want to ensure that those that are starting or in their journey are aware of the challenges and not just the reports of $1,000's being made. Yes, it is possible but as you also mentioned, it takes a significant amount of time and investment PLUS resiliance through the hard times to get traction!
Wow... We really need more videos like this. Thanks for sharing this Romney! I always appreciate watching your honest and practical videos!
My pleasure Mariel and thank you for leaving a comment on the video.
Thank you Romney, this was very insightful and informative. It’s so refreshing to see an honest, professional and “real life” perspective, which is so rare in the KDP CZcams community.
You are right. I discussed KDP in a video and with friends. He was very informative.
I just want to share my experiences and hopefully there are a few 'gold nuggets' of advice that those self-publishing on KDP and learn from. Thank you for watching!
Great video, Romney! Thank you for sharing your journey, so far.
Thanks Simone. Glad you enjoyed it!
I appreciate you talking about Ingram Spark. Thank you for your transparency. I recently discussed KDP in a video and my journey.
My pleasure and thank you for watching.
Your video was very transparent and spot on
Thank you!
thanks a lot
You are most welcome
Thank you for your video Romney. Have you taken Dane Mcbeth or Sean Dollwet’s program?
Kind of..... Both Dane and Sean sent me their courses when they were first published to look over and provide feedback. Both courses are very thourough. If you were to choose one, pick the person (Instructor) that you feel you resonate with the most and could listen to 20 hrs of content!
@@globalselfpublishingNow I am curious if you have income videos on your channel, as Sean is a KDP king and sent you his course 😊
Hi, I sounds like it's not really worth it for me anyways. I posted and sold a few ebooks years ago on Amazon, it wasn't even called KDP, I should have kept going ? I still sell those books, maybe twice a month, but only because I have a bunch of reviews on them, alot of the information in them is out of date. But I still get good reviews? I was looking to maybe get back into publishing books, but after viewing your video, I think I will just hang my hat up and move on. Thanks
It’s worth it if you are prepared to put in the hard work. If you’re looking for an easy buck, then perhaps it’s not right for you?
Can you talk about the gigantic Steve McQueen poster on your wall? Were you in the film? A writer?
Hi Sharon, its just an awesome movie poster that I've always loved and decided to get framed. Amazin car chase scene too!
I just threw my childrens picture book up on Amazon and its been 7 years and I've sold a total of "ZERO" lol. That was not expected
Certainly expected if you just threw it up there with no strategy to market the book?
@@globalselfpublishing No, I dont think anyone expects not to sell any or they would not even try. I figured I would at least sell a few because the Illustrations are amazing, I've used the same Illustrator since 2015. The issue was no keyword research at all and I discovered later I did a poor job formatting it.
