A self-publisher makes $25,680 a month from one book. Here is how you could do the same with 4.4hrs of work and $138:

In May, I made $9,262 selling books on Amazon and Audible. Except for January, my earnings have increased every month for the past year. Here are the 5 things I do to keep my earnings growing: Thread.

@mattwelter Looks great. So we don't need to send to drafts anymore?

how to literally put TikTok on autopilot ReelFarm automations alone have helped TikTok pages get 100M+ views since September 2025 (5 months ago)

@littlebirdsing Have a CTA in your posts telling them to check the link in your bio

@jamesallwinton Hi, I was wondering when TikTok only allows a link in the bio, how do you get people to click on your book's link?

How to grow your book royalties with zero ad spend: 1. Open a TikTok account 2. Name it something related to your topic 3. Film 60 videos of you flicking through your book (faceless) 4. Post two videos per day for a month 5. Add some trending music and a caption (hook) Do this over and over and let TikTok find your audience Make sure over time you improve your videos Your reach will keep improving

@BigJamezx @EmmaBams1 @Jesusboy_Lion @Henry_Ejiofor1 @ProdigalTroller Nice job mate!

@chiwealth1111 A lot of work and a lot of different tools, sorry a vague answer but its different for all of them

@jamesallwinton Hi James good morning, if you don't mind I would like to know how you were able to achieve dose you marked ( yes)

Parts of the publishing process I now use AI for topic selection - no title - yes writing - yes covers - yes editing- yes book description - yes metadata - yes formatting - no narration - yes I use the odd human writer, editor and narrator but every week AI is getting better Some things like descriptions, metadata, titles etc I almost exclusively use AI now

@ProdigalTroller 100% but I never bothered because its not like I was publishing a big book like this very often. Ads management I'd be more inclined to train a VA

@jamesallwinton Do you think you could train your VA to do this?

How to setup Amazon ads 101: 1. Get a list of 500-1000 broad keywords from Pub Rocket 2. Find 5-10 highly relevant keywords for exact campaign 3. With the exact kws, add words like 'ultimate' and 'book' etc to create a list of 200 phrase keywords 4. Download ASIN grabber extension 5. Search all your exact keywords into Amazon and extract all ASINs of relevant books 6. Use these for expanded product campaigns 7. Find 20 highly relevant books for exact product campaign 8. Setup broad, phrase, exact, expanded, exact category for each format of your book with starting bids of 30-40 cents 9. Repeat step 8. in all English speaking markets 10. Repeat step 8. and 9. with a video ad you get made on fiverr

@BigJamezx @EmmaBams1 @Jesusboy_Lion Nice job bro!

 Just 6 books 📚 God is great 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 @EmmaBams1 @Jesusboy_Lion @jamesallwinton

@ProdigalTroller End to end probably a day or two, yeah it literally takes so much time

@jamesallwinton How much time does it take you to do all of these things? I think I’m going to have a VA or someone internal take over next year. It takes so much time to set everything up

@ProdigalTroller Yeah absolutely

@jamesallwinton prolly a good way to test 2 book covers early on too

If I was genuinely trying to get a lot of reviews for a KDP book right now, this is how I'd do it: 1. Create a simple ad on facebook showing your cover 2. Run it to a very broad audience, offering book for free 3. Get people to DM you from the ad 4. When they DM, ask if they'd consider leaving a review after reading it 5. Send them the free PDF of your book 6. Do this hundreds if not thousands of times 7. When your book is live, follow up with every person until either a) they leave review b) they ask you to leave them alone or c) you've followed up 5 times Around 7-10% of people who you give a free copy to will leave a review. So if you want 100 reviews, you need to give out 1.5k copies.

@ProdigalTroller I did it manually last time but would def look at something like manychat or at least a VA for next time

@jamesallwinton That’s a good rate! I would be very happy with that. Are you using any automation toosl like manychat for the messaging?

@ProdigalTroller Honestly I can't remember but my guess is $800-$1500

@jamesallwinton What would the 100 reviews work out to in FB ads cost very very ball park?

@BigJamezx @EmmaBams1 @Jesusboy_Lion @Henry_Ejiofor1 @ProdigalTroller @Muhammad__S__ Nice job bro 💪

Just hit $1,024 in 8 days, I was at $725 two days ago. Always pray for mercy and grace. You will hit it one day 💪 God is great 🙏 @EmmaBams1 @Jesusboy_Lion @jamesallwinton @Henry_Ejiofor1 @ProdigalTroller @Muhammad__S__ 🙏

@alwaysmoses12 Amazing, nice job

@jamesallwinton I developed something that writes wow descriptions and also for title and subtitle engineering.

@Sarah_Miller_96 Nice will check it out

@jamesallwinton hey we use effie for writing & editing too! their ai helps w/ descriptions & brainstorming ✨ lifesaver fr effie.pro

@IzekeSHABA @oRa__3rips you guys are on my case. Pretty sure i've made plenty of posts about this

@jamesallwinton @oRa__3rips On seat waiting

@ProdigalTroller I figured there would be very little friction because all it requires is someone to click the link then press play and I earn money (assuming they have a Spotify membership). I haven't figured out how to get an accurate attribution of the minutes listened yet though

@jamesallwinton Why to Spotify and not to KDP? I’ve had a few go viral-ish (400k views) and def saw a solid uptick in sales

How I got 2 million views for my book on TikTok Found a book topic with good demand Made a book and published it Created a TikTok account Searched for viral slideshows on the topic Replicated similar posts using reelfarm Made the posts in bulk Posted one every 1-2 days for about 3 months It cost me ~$97k to get 90 million impressions on Amazon ads, for comparison
