I Built a six figure Amazon KDP Business... AGAIN

About this video

This is Sean’s December 2022 income report for his second KDP account, started in February 2022 from scratch in a new niche after, he says, selling his first seven-figure account and signing a non-compete. He says he used white-hat strategies, worked 0-30 minutes a day via a system and team, and focused on quality, claiming an average 4.7 rating and 50-100 real reviews per book. The account had 31 books: 12 low-content (3 coloring, 4 journals, 3 word search, 2 other), 8 Spanish translations, 9 high-content non-fiction (8 live that month) and 2 medium-content, mostly under one pen name. He reports December income of $231.77 from aggregators (IngramSpark, Draft2Digital and another store), $719.79 from ACX audiobooks — noting narration costs about $200 per full high-content book — and $11,939.56 on his KDP dashboard, with his top (first) book making over $3,700. Ad spend was $4,389 in the US at a stated 50% ACOS, £856 in the UK at 37% ACOS, and C$410 in Canada, leaving a stated profit of $7,150.50. He emphasizes evergreen over seasonal books: sales dipped on December 24-25 but returned to about $400/day in early January, unlike low-content accounts he says die after Christmas. He says the account had earned about $57,000 in its first year to that point. Plans include more low/medium-content books, bundles, and more Spanish plus new German translations. He also shares creator-cited student results from his program as motivation.
