What’s Possible with Amazon KDP (How Much Can You Make?)

About this video

Sean gives a 2021 income recap, saying he made over 1 million dollars in profit and showing his tax return as proof, while explaining he shares numbers for transparency after he says he once paid 25000 dollars to a coach who lied about his success. He breaks down about 260375 dollars from operations: he claims about 160000 dollars profit from Amazon KDP publishing from January to July — about 22000 dollars per month — before selling that business in August, about 5000 dollars from YouTube AdSense, about 15000 dollars in affiliate commissions, about 70000 dollars in course sales from October to December, and about 10000 dollars from investments including Hawaii land flips, stocks and crypto interest. The largest piece, he says, was 712000 dollars kept from selling his publishing business for 820000 dollars after Empire Flippers took a 12% brokerage fee, plus a 40000 dollars salary he pays himself from his S-corp. He says he paid 172000 dollars to the IRS, 67000 dollars to Hawaii, and 40000 dollars in estimated taxes, totalling 279000 dollars, helped by long-term capital gains treatment.
