Getting Into Amazon E-book Market

Hello everyone,

I’m hoping to tap into the community’s experience regarding selling ebooks online, specifically through platforms like Amazon KDP. While social media often portrays it as a simple path to income, showcasing seemingly low-effort projects achieving success, the comments sections frequently paint a different picture – one of challenging sales, the necessity of significant marketing investment, and often limited ROI.

I’m curious to hear from those who have found genuine success selling ebooks on KDP or similar platforms. What advice can you offer aspiring writers considering this route? While I understand that success is achievable, I’m particularly interested in gaining a more realistic understanding of the average seller’s experience and the strategies that contribute to positive outcomes. Any insights or suggestions you can share would be greatly appreciated.

I have also seen that that there are not many professional E-book sellers that have Instagram’s or social media’s in general. I was looking into a social media rollout and some inspiration but can’t find any at all that are geared towards the books. What do you guys think would be the reason for this?

I would share my website and work but there is no self promo here
