  • Hello Friends, the link to register for the future mini-courses is here: sparrows-end-business-diaries.ck.page/a379f01e3c It's also in the description under the time stamps/chapters. If you still have problems just let me know in the comments. I'll also pop it in my community tab later on today. I’m just collecting emails at the moment so I can gauge demand 🙂 Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch the end of the video
  • I completely respect your honest and factual opinions. I am getting tired of numerous youtubers who are claiming that they've made a few thousands over a single ebook!
  • Thank you for this honest video. I don't really like the videos where they say you are going to make $7000 a month, I like an honest video like this where you start off making $100 or $200 a month. You have got a really pleasant personality and pleasant way of speaking, I think if you did a KDP teaching course, it would be successful.

    Getting a normal passive income stream, even if 100 pounds a month helps out over the year. I think many people don't realize how having a few passive income streams adds up. Congrats!
  • @MikeM-uy6qp
    Unlike a lot of people who do this, you seem very honest and legit.
  • Thank you for your videos. I started in May and this has been so much fun. Learning, making tons of mistakes. First sale was in August. I have 145 books with 3 in review and so far I have made $36. This has also been amazing for my mental health. That alone is worth a bunch :)

    It's so refreshing to find a sensible video about KDP! 🤩 I'm sick of all the thumbnails with ridiculous dollar amounts on them. 🙄 A few extra quid a month would be enough for me. 😊
  • I love that you brought up the benefits beside just the money. Learning skills applicable for all online businesses for example. ❤
  • @Gooders478
    don't declare anything to your employer. You don't owe them anything - if you get so big they find out you don't need them anymore.
  • My notebooks on kdp have never gotten off the ground and I'm really happy with the way they turned out so I'm not sure where i went wrong. My high content books sell really well though and I'm looking forwards to seeing how many i can sell this Q4. I love kdp but the advertising can be a real draw on any profits, I've come to find that a Instagram account offers the best growth funnelling traffic to Amazon rather than relying on Amazon to find any customers, paid for. I think the online course's are a great idea, I bought Mandy Lynn's course on book formatting this year and it was a great help. All the best. 😊
  • This is so good to hear an honest refreshing review. Thank you for sharing. I will keep adding quality books to my KDP. You are an inspiration and a breath of fresh air. I as well enjoy the process. Keep pressing forward. Wishing you much success.
  • @larrygcondon3889
    Your starter course is a great idea. Love hearing you talk and share your experience. I am looking at getting started with KDP. Thank you
  • @tremtoronto6462
    Best video on KDP in the internet. Sincere and honest ❤. You are a great success 🙌 👍
  • @becfisher759
    Congratulations on your KDP results! 🎉Great to hear your update.
  • @EleanorPrior1
    Now that it is Q4 officially you should see an uptick in sales ❤ I have been doing it slowly since 2019 I am about $200-300 a month not consistently publishing but I noticed over Q4 last year I did over $4-500 a month. I am very interested in your scapbooking course. 🥳 congrats I love that I can pay a utility bill once a month.
  • @bmbrooklyn
    I love your positive and transparent updates. Thank you 😊 This motivates me to keep trying. ❤
  • @fluffy-Muffin
    Well done mel. I do admire your tenacity Hope you have a lovely week
