Hi everyone,

KDP Amazon really allows me to closely examine my book/ebook sales and here is an interesting, somber number:

243

That is the number of ebook & book titles that have NEVER sold a single unit.

Fortunately the other 1216 titles have sold at least one with the most units selling being an ebook I published in 2009 with 5103 units sold to date.

My highest selling book title sold 2505 units to date.

So even I can not predict when I reprint a title if it will sell or not most of the time.

I believe I have done very well and this only encourages me to really publish a lot this year.

This is my main source of Passive income.

There are an infinite number of Passive income sources available. You just need to choose one and keep working it. Add others when the time is right.

Keep moving forward! Never Give Up!

To Our Success!

Hi Mel, Steve here. I wanted to share something with you that I think can help. It certainly won't hurt to check it out. It's called the Advanced Marketing Institute. It has a headline analyzer and a copy analyzer. I have used it before to write copy, which has benefitted me and is free. Good Luck

Thanks for sharing Steve! I'll look into it.

Mel, are you doing a lot of promotion? Or are the sales happening anyhow?
You haven't mentioned promotion in a while.
Thanks for sharing your journey,
Sami

I do not promote my books, Sami. Perhaps some day I'll get into the marketing aspect.

Mel

Hey Mel
Thank you for sharing this good experience. This encourages me a lot

You are most welcome Tina!

Facing the reality of unsold titles is tough, but your resilience is admirable. Your success is inspiring. Keep pushing forward, Mel! #NeverGiveUp

That's really interesting, Mel! 📚 It's great that you have been able to closely examine your book and ebook sales on KDP Amazon. It's impressive that you have published a total of 1459 titles. While it's unfortunate that 243 titles haven't sold a single unit, it's encouraging to see that the other 1216 titles have sold at least one unit. It's also impressive that your ebook published in 2009 has sold 5103 units to date, and your highest selling book title has sold 2505 units. It just goes to show that predicting the success of a title can be quite unpredictable.

I admire your determination to keep publishing and your positive attitude towards it. It's great that publishing is your main source of passive income. And you're absolutely right, there are indeed infinite passive income sources available. It's all about choosing the right one and putting in the work. Keep moving forward and never give up! Here's to your continued success, Mel! 🎉✨

Thanks Babito!
