How I’m Making BIG Money from 1 Book (Amazon KDP)

About this video

Sean gives a 30-day update on a single book he used as the launch example in his free course. He claims the book is making between $50 to $80 a day, with total earnings around $1,500 to $1,700 including Kindle pages read, before its audio version is even live. He says he spent $470 on AMS ads at about a 24% to 25% ACOS, so much of the income was organic and the ads remained profitable. The launch strategy he describes is getting consistent sales over time rather than a spike in one or two days, because Amazon looks at the 30-day average; spreading $0.99 promotion sales across multiple days signals demand and prompts Amazon to promote the book. He credits a strong cover, a good keyword with search results under 1,000, and reviews — he says the book has 29 or 30 positive reviews against one unexplained one-star review, and recommends getting at least ten reviews when launching. For covers he now prefers 100 Covers, the Urban Writers, or Upwork over Fiverr, which he says often relies on templates.
