How to Completely Automate Your Amazon KDP Business

About this video

The creator describes how he says he outsources and automates his Amazon KDP business, claiming he built a six-figure-a-year account he sold for $820,000, is building a second six-figure account, and spends under an hour a week on it. His core argument is that people waste hours on tasks someone else could do cheaply, effectively working for under $5 an hour. The one task he keeps himself is keyword research, which he batches months ahead and hands to his team, because choosing profitable topics is the foundation. A publishing manager hired via Upwork or OnlineJobs.ph oversees title creation (often with AI trained on his title templates), uploading to KDP, ACX and IngramSpark, and formatting. His editor also builds outlines by mining competitor reviews for what readers liked and disliked, which he says improves editing quality; he cites paying about $50 per outline, $100 per 30,000-word edit (over $300 for AI-written books). Ghostwriting uses Urban Writers for testing niches and a dedicated Upwork writer for established ones. Covers, illustrations, cover-format conversion, reviews via his email list plus BookBounty and BookRev, and Amazon ads (eventually via an agency) are all outsourced. System tips include using LastPass instead of sharing passwords, Asana or Trello for project tracking, and putting freelancers in a group chat so they hand work to each other directly instead of routing everything through him.

Key takeaways

• Keep keyword research yourself and batch it months in advance; outsource almost everything else, starting with a publishing manager to oversee production
• Have the editor build the outline from competitor reviews — what readers liked and disliked — so editing checks content against reader expectations, not just typos
• Use ghostwriting services to test niches, then switch to a dedicated writer for consistency of style and tone once a niche is proven
• Buy cheap format conversions separately on Fiverr ($5-$10) rather than paying a cover designer $100 to convert an ebook cover to paperback or audio
• Remove yourself as middleman with a freelancer group chat, plus use a password manager and a project tool like Asana to keep multiple books moving
