Here are the basics. First, can you really make passive income with Kindle publishing? If you’re writing the ebooks yourself, obviously, no, you’re gonna have your work cut out for ya. But what if you use a ghostwriter? Then you can just sit back and collect checks, right? Back in the day, maybe, but not today. It’s too competitive. So even if you outsource the actual writing of the books and the cover art, you still gotta market it, advertise, optimize, get reviews, and so on. Assuming your book’s amazing and you build that early momentum, then, yes, you might…
Liz Herrera, aka Hurricane Liz, is a former poker player turned ecom entrepreneur. She started out, years ago, doing retail arbitrage on Amazon. Which basically means she went thrift shopping, marked the items up, and resold them for a small profit on Amazon. Eventually she graduated to wholesaling, partnering with someone who already had the hook up on brand name products. With this, yeah, your margins are even thinner, but it’s more sustainable. “Let’s talk about the phases of Amazon wholesale FBA,” Liz says. “So once you got tax exemptions, you gotta go into what’s called ungating. That’s where Amazon…
FBA Masterclass is Tom Wang’s “how to make money on Amazon” course, which, even he says you don’t need to buy. “You do not need to purchase any courses in order for you to be successful in anything,” Tom confesses. “Nowadays, information is a commodity. You can access any sort of information from the comfort of your own home, on your iPhone, which I’m assuming you have. The most important part of starting any business? Is to simply get started.” “A lot of people overanalyze,” Tom continues. “They wanna be 100% sure before they get into something. But I’ll tell…
Jeff Lerner thinks, if you want real success, you gotta get extreme. There’s so many people, so many businesses. And quite frankly, there’s not enough room for everyone to be millionaires. So it’s gonna be a small percentage of people that achieve extraordinary results, right? “And those are gonna be the ones that are the most extreme,” Jeff says. “And the most intense. And the most driven. And the most direct. And the most assertive. And the most confident.”This goes for billionaires, pro athletes, famous artists, math geniuses, world-renowned heart surgeons, or anyone who climbs to the top of their…
Rob Kosberg is the CEO of Best Seller Publishing, a training company that helps you publish, promote, and profit from your own best-selling book. “Could self-publishing one book make someone the most famous expert in their market?” he says in a YouTube ad. “Where they also create a legacy of over $100 million all before they turn the age of 40? I’m talking about Russell Brunson. Before Dot Com Secrets, I knew him as a genius marketer working hard to become who he is today.”“I remember when he originally launched ClickFunnels and he was struggling with selling it,” Rob continues,…
Sophie Howard has a Kindle Publishing Income course where she teaches people how to start an automated income business on Amazon that doesn’t involve physical products. Instead, you get eBooks ghostwritten for you and then sell ’em through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform. It’s funny though, she used to brand herself as “The Amazon Selling Queen” and tell everyone there was no better business than selling physical products on Amazon. Hmm.Let’s ignore the fact that Sophie’s a bit of a hypocrite and explore what makes her so successful. “Want to hear three daily habits that could move you towards…
Low content publishing will be impacted by a recent KDP change. Amazon basically said they were no longer gonna provide free ISBNs to low content book publishers. Which leaves ya with two options. One, you can publish your low content books with no ISBN. Or, two, you can always buy your own ISBN for each low content book. This applies to notebooks, planners, journals, and other similar works that have repetitive pages designed to be filled in by the user.And don’t think you’re just gonna trick the system, list it as a large-print book on KDP, and get a free…
Affiliate marketing’s awesome. It really is. But while there’s more opportunity for affiliates than ever before, there’s also never been more competition. And no, don’t worry, I’m not about to tell you affiliate marketing is dead. It isn’t. And it probably never will be, at least in our lifetime. But, what I wanna talk about today is, like where’s a beginner even start? Blogging? SEO? Facebook ads? Launch a YouTube channel? Try your luck with TikTok ads? Here’s the first thing I’ll say. Focus on learning skills not methods. Anyone can go to Amazon or ClickBank or ShareASale or wherever…
Amazon FBA is a fast-moving, ever-changing selling platform with aggressive competition. But what, exactly, do the numbers tell us? Amazon Prime has over 200 million subscribers. About 147 million of them are located in the U.S. Amazon does north of $400 billion a year in revenue these days, making it the third largest company in the world. There’s approximately 350 million products being sold on Amazon.com currently. And Amazon only sells 12 million of those. That means, of everything listed for sale, products sold directly by Amazon only account for about 3.5% of total sales, with 96.5% coming from regular…
Astro Flipping founder Jamil Damji got his first real estate deal without any money using one specific trick. “FRBO,” he says. “For rent by owner. Now what do I mean when I say that though? For rent by owner is a property that is listed for rent but it’s not been listed by a real estate agent or a property manager. That’s really the key to understand. You wanna be dealing direct to the landlord. So, how do you find a property that’s for rent by owner?” “My favorite way to do that,” Jamil continues, “is to use Zillow.com, which…
