How I Made 7 Figures Selling eBooks on Amazon - Full Digital Products Tutorial for Beginners
About this video
In this tutorial Dollwet says selling ebooks on your own site, Gumroad or Stan Store is the hardest route because you get no traffic and must handle delivery, refunds and customer service yourself, while Amazon KDP gives instant access to Amazon shoppers and handles fulfilment for a cut taken only on a sale. His five steps are: (1) topic research on Amazon, using DS Amazon Quick View to find topics with three or more books at 80,000 BSR or lower and low review counts; (2) create the book — outline from competitor tables of contents, reviews and ChatGPT, add the main keyword to the title, write it yourself with AI help or outsource to a ghostwriter such as The Urban Writers, then proofread, plagiarism-check, format and invest in a cover; (3) upload to KDP; (4) market hard in the first 30 days, aiming for reviews (he suggests at least 15) and sales so Amazon pushes the book; and (5) turn it into an audiobook via ACX for an extra stream. Income and sales figures cited, including his claim of over $1.6 million from ebooks and selling a KDP account for $820,000, are the creator’s claims.
Key takeaways
- Prefer Amazon KDP over your own website: Amazon supplies traffic and handles printing, shipping, payments, refunds and customer service
- Validate a niche by finding at least three competing books at 80,000 BSR or lower, ideally with 100 reviews or fewer on page one
- Build a better outline by combining the best chapters from multiple competitors with what reviewers liked and disliked — do not copy a single book
- Treat the first 30 days as a launch window: secure reviews first, then drive sales so Amazon’s algorithm ranks and promotes the book
- Add formats from the same manuscript — paperback, hardcover, translations and especially an ACX audiobook — to multiply income without new research
