Our Progress March 20, 2025 Keep Pushing Forward

Hi everyone,
Has Kyle run out of beer? I did not see a Beer with Kyle post last week. Hope the Tariffs from the USA aren't cutting into his beer options. :-)
Wen has been publishing also and now has 10 Public Domain titles up on KDP Amazon. Even though no sales to date, she is excited about it, knowing what I have been able to do.
For my part, I now have 1628 book/ebook titles published on KDP Amazon & Lightning Source, Inc.
I now have 51 Amazon Bestselling Titles, the latest being one today that I wrote and its at #28.
Currently involved in massively editing a title from a PDF book from 1877. Its part of a 5 Volume set that I am publishing on Lightning Source and paying someone else to do the book covers. Its taking me 4 days to do the editing on a 500+ page book even after initial AI assistance.
I'm really excited about this 5 VOL Set as I believe sales could/would be good. Only Vol I by someone else is on Amazon and its very expensive compared to my $24.99 retail price. I've published Vol I on Amazon and Lightning Source. Vol II is what I am currently working on.
I also create a Large Print edition to sell on Amazon for the same price and the Reg Edition goes to Lightning Source.
To Our Success!
Mel the Publishing Machine :-)

Good morning Mel,
How are you doing, I hope all is well with you.
Incidentally, I didn't look, but I thought I hadn't seen Kyle's "Beer with Kyle page" this week or last week, rather!
Before I say any more, Mel, do you know it's such a pleasure to read a blog post that isn't AI rubbish! I always thought that blogging at Wealthy Affiliate was supposed to be about progress, struggles and how our journey was going. However, I avoid commenting on blatant AI posts, which most of the top 10 blog posts are now. Thank you for genuinely writing about your progress, I genuinely mean that!
That's great that Wen is publishing some books, Mel, she has a good teacher right next to her, it's good to take advantage of that!
It sounds like you really have lots going on regarding your publishing, but I know it's something that you know lots about and it seems to be working for you, which is fantastic.
I was actually thinking about you yesterday, Mel, as I had an idea for a book which might be reasonably straightforward to publish. I thought I must have a look at Mel's training when it comes to it.
Have a great day, thank you are writing a genuine post and keep up the great work.
Roy
