My Amazon KDP business is doing amazing! I feel like I can get to my ultimate goal of $3,000 a month within the next year. All I need to do is keep publishing books. Pretty much every type of book I have listed is selling well.

Last 6 Months Marketing Budget

February – 48 sales – 654 clicks – 12.75% ACOS – $75.48
March – 69 sales – 955 clicks – 12.98% ACOS – $112.05

June – 53 sale – 831 clicks – 14.43% ACOS – $95.65 (as of 6/18)
These numbers are amazing! Yes, I’m spending a lot of money on advertising but as long as ACOS is under 15%, I’m still making a good profit. I wish I could get ACOS numbers like this for Merch On Demand.
Last 6 Months Profits
January – $178.24
February – $355.65
March – $336.77
April – $333.63
May – $566.42
June – $276.25 (as of 6/19)
These profit numbers are also amazing! I even cracked $500 in May and it’s not even Q4. I’m excited to see what the upcoming holiday season will bring. Speaking of which, I need to upload a ton more books before Q4 arrives. I really think I can make over $1,000 a month by the end of the year. If I publish enough books, I might even be able to get close to my ultimate goal of $3,000 a month.
June & July Amazon Merch On Demand Goals
- Create 100 new books – This is a little less than 5 new books per day, M-F. This isn’t publishing the books, just designing them and saving them as drafts. This will make publishing new books easier.
- Publish 2 books per day or 80 books total
- Add A+ content to all books currently published and any new books published this month
I didn’t create any yearly goals for KDP but I basically want to get to 300 total books published before Q4 starts in October. If I can triple the number of books I currently have published, then I’ll have an excellent chance of reaching my ultimate goal by the end of the year.
