I've been publishing books on Amazon since 2018. 8 years later: • 222 books in my KDP reports • 450,000+ book units processed • $2M+ in estimated KDP royalties I've made plenty of mistakes along the way. I'm starting this account to share what I've learned about self-publishing, book marketing, Amazon Ads and building a sustainable publishing business. No overnight success stories. Just practical lessons from someone who's been doing this for years.
