Hey there, I've been engaged with Amazon KDP for 12 months now. In Jan of last year (2022), I kickstarted my journey by setting up my Amazon KDP account and publishing a few books as a beginner. As time progressed, I delved into numerous YouTube videos on the subject, dove deep into niche topics, and consistently crafted books centered around these themes. Here's a glimpse of my outcomes after 12 months:
I've decided to unpublish 296 of my books as they appeared too amateurish, leaving me with a current total of 524 books. Admittedly, most of my books have relatively low content.
At present, my monthly income stands at $200. In my country, Turkey, a sum of around $1000-$2000 is considered sufficient for a comfortable standard of living.
This month, I ventured into creating an Apple iBooks author account, although I haven't published any books on it yet. I'm in the process of understanding how it works.
Furthermore, I'm gearing up to sell some e-books on my website, which is currently under construction. I'm diligently organizing and working on it, with a target completion date set for the end of March (currently at 60% completion).
Jan 2023 Monthly Objectives:
March 2024 Monthly Financial Goals ($) - If achieved early, new goals will be set.

Jan 2023 Monthly Objectives:
- Publish approximately 20-30 books, acknowledging that despite their low content, the preparation process is time-intensive.
- Increase my income for Dec by 10% compared to the previous month. Anticipating a Nov income of $300, my goal for Dec is $350.
- Publish at least one book on Apple iBooks.
- Establish a YouTube channel to promote my books on both Apple iBooks and Amazon KDP. The plan includes sharing concise videos on the channel.
- Leverage my design skills (Canva Pro) by creating a designer account on Creative Fabrica. Having applied for it yesterday, I anticipate a response within 7 days.
- Finalize the setup of my self-created website for effective book sales.
