How I Make Multiple Six Figures Profit Per Month from Amazon KDP
About this video
A recording from Sean Dollwet’s Road to Hero / Royalty Hero publishing-success interview series with student Dave. Sean says Dave claimed over $150,000 profit the previous month and was on track for $250,000-$300,000 that month in an evergreen niche. Dave attributes the jump largely to TikTok Shop: after earlier resellers promoted his book there, he launched his own shop around May-June, rising, by his account, from about $20,000-$25,000/month profit pre-TikTok Shop to about $180,000-$200,000 profit in December on roughly $400,000 combined TikTok/Amazon revenue, with $8,000-$10,000 profit days in January. He describes publishing roughly a book a month from January 2024, focusing on high-content books, making 5-10 own videos a day (aiming for 30), using B-roll libraries, editors, affiliates on retainer plus commission, and TikTok’s GMV Max with a ~2.0-2.1 break-even ROI target. He advises mastering KDP first, reaching roughly $5,000-$10,000/month before TikTok Shop, and budgeting at least $10,000-$15,000 for printing, fulfillment and video costs, noting TikTok payouts can initially take up to 60 days. All earnings figures are Dave’s/Sean’s claims in the interview, not independently verified.
Key takeaways
- Creator claims: Dave went from ~$15,000-$20,000/month profit at his August 2024 interview to a claimed $180,000-$200,000 profit in December after adding TikTok Shop
- TikTok is framed as demand generation, unlike Amazon where shoppers arrive ready to buy; 80-85% of Dave’s TikTok sales are claimed to come from his own videos, not affiliates
- Video system: reuse proven viral structures, build a large B-roll library (3,000-4,000 short clips filmed in one weekend), and scale toward 30 videos/day
- Affiliate screening criteria Dave cites: post rate above 60% and at least $500 GMV over the last 30 days; he hired a Philippines VA to handle 30-40 requests/day
- Don’t start TikTok Shop too early: learn KDP, get to ~$5,000-$10,000/month first, and set aside at least $10,000-$15,000 for inventory, fulfillment and editors
