Consider taking your top seller(s) and creating a "part 2" or "volume 2" - matching the title and subject matter as closely as possible. :-) (And if it works well, you don't have to stop with part/volume 2. You could keep adding to the series.) Quote:

I have created a few ebooks in my days, and have recently been getting more seriously into publishing my own products checking out every quality resource I can find to increase my knowledge and skills. I have a bit too much on my plate between my current product and reading material I am working on now. I have no doubt this will be better than most resources out there (if not all). Will this price remain the same or is there a time limit on this WSO?

Much gratitude and appreciation for the Warrior Book Club and for Bryan putting this together. Last Sunday, we found the WBC while searching for info on how to sell our book on Amazon. We were thinking we'd go with CreateSpace first and then work our way to Kindle, eventually. Found the WBC, joined instantly and instantly moved Kindle in to the #1 priority spot and within a few days, we had published and launched our Kindle book over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Now, 1 week later we have had about 1300 copies downloaded and the book sits in the #2 spot and #4 spot for our main categories! ![]() We went from unpublished a week ago to one of the top authors in our niche in a matter of days with the WBC roadmap. I do want to add that we have been diligently building a platform via WordPress and Facebook for a few years to have an audience to pitch to... But, we had never launched a book before, nor had we ever been partnered in a joint venture with a partner like Amazon before. The WBC, offered us the roadmap we needed to properly launch our Kindle book in a way that showed Amazon we aren't rookie authors who can't market their own products... We are Warriors who just generated more buzz about our book in 1 week than most authors in our niche EVER generate! Thanks Bryan! Couldn't have done it without you and the WBC! |

Thanks, Jonny. Yes, it seems to be going very well in there. And, we just finished our first Group Project for the WBC so there's a little bit of celebration going on. :-) (Ten authors joining forces and publishing 11 books in under a month!) There are some drawbacks to the UK listings, especially since the US site gets a lot more exposure and sales. But, there are ways to benefit from both. And, in the end, it's up to the individual author re: what aspect(s) s/he wants to focus on most. Thanks, Bryan |

Hi Jonny Based on my experience with Amazon through CreateSpace, the main issue you'll have to consider is that there will probably be a withholding tax of (I think) 20% on your US sales. You can apply for a US tax reference to avoid that - if you are not in US it has to be done by phone but you don't have to be a US business. I had a useful link on this but sorry I can't find it now! But a quick Google search on something like "UK tax on US kindle sales" should give you some good results. The CreateSpace forum is also good on this and I think the search results are available even if you are not a customer. I'm not sure yet if Kindle has anything similar but CS is part of Amazon too. All the best Robert |

I'm a bit confused. Is the Warrior Book Club that you are selling access to the subforum in WarriorForum.com? I still have never seen a notification of how you get access that forum.

The Warrior Book Club has quickly become the single most-effective product I've ever purchased online, in more than 10 years. No other WSO or Kindle product has even come remotely close to what this one does - if you're not clicking the Join Now button in the next 2 minutes, then you're either legally brain dead or will wish you were for passing up on this truly mind blowing opportunity ![]() In a nutshell, I paid for my membership on November 22, went into the forum and starting reading through the core material Bryan provides. Then I read through many of threads, asked some questions and got to work. I published my first Kindle book on November 26 - thanks to the members of the WBC, I went back and corrected some mistakes I made during the publishing process. I made my first sale on December 1st and have been making them regularly since then ![]() Bryan could have easily just packaged up his core material and sold it as a standalone killer product, but the real value in the WBC is in the forum itself. There are a lot of well-known members from the WF there and the discussions, help, advice, etc., are not only top notch, but genuinely MOTIVATING. I'm already wrapping up my second book, getting ready to start writing a series and my head is spinning with ideas for Kindle books and apps that will make a killing at Amazon. And I have to sheepishly admit, I'm kicking myself in the ass for not doing this a long time ago! Don't pass up on this one folks - you will NOT find a more profitable, kickass system than what Bryan is [foolishly] giving away for a measly $40. Even if you're new to IM or just looking to make a few bucks, this is THE product that will make it possible. |

Hey Guys, I've been a Warrior for a while and always felt like a writer who did IM to pay the bills. And I'm not complaining, because this life sure beats having to answer a boss with a Napolean complex. Just seems like the Kindle medium is medium is a perfect progression. I have written and sold my share of non-fiction IM related ebooks. It would be heaven to get paid for the fiction writing that I also like to do. You'll be hearing from me shortly. I am super excited! ![]() Much Success, JoeMack |

Hi JoeMack, Yes, I have moved the majority of my IM business towards Kindle publishing (and I've been in IM since 1995, so it's a big deal for me to shift after all these years.) I haven't added the fiction-writing tips in the kindle forum yet. But, will be adding them very soon - including some stuff that you won't find anywhere else. Thanks, Bryan Quote:

Do you guys/gals discuss how many books you have published and what you're earning from them each month - as an indication to what's possible for newbies? The ONLY reason I haven't taken the time to write a book and publish it on Amazon or the like is because I doubt I'll be able to make much money, if any. Thanks. |

Riki, Have you read any of the testimonials posted on the main page? :-) Quote:

I only skimmed the testimonials, if I am being honest. I usually take the time to thoroughly read through everything (even WSO sales threads), but I am becoming more jaded and cynical these days. I don't even look through the WSO section anymore; I only found this thread through a link on the main forum. (again, if I am being honest) I can understand people wanting to keep those details to themselves. It is their business, after all. However, I think it's important (especially if the point of the forum is to teach people a system that is already working for those that teach it) to give some indication of the success that they are having - even if those figures indicate a rough estimate of what is possible based on their own, consistent success. For most people on this forum, and in the big scheme of things, success is synonymous with profit - be it directly or not. Of course, nobody can guarantee profits, one way or another, but it's important for people to realize the possibilities. If I wanted to learn how to paint, I would expect my prospective teacher to show me their portfolio. And as most people will be joining this club in an effort to, ultimately, make money (be it through better writing, better marketing practices or something else), you can surely understand my curiosity? Basically, I, like most people, probably, are not interested in writing books as a hobby. I want/need to make money. Just to be clear, though, I am not asking you or anyone else to reveal their earnings...I am just curious if these things are ever discussed in the sub-forum because, as previously stated, profitability is my primary concern regarding this method of earning. |

| I've posted a couple of links to the WBC WSO in different main forum threads recently (both related to Kindle), so I'm guessing maybe that's how you found it The reason I'm mentioning it is because I don't think I've ever (at least as far back as I can remember) posted a link to someone's WSO before - that's in eight years of active membership (Just look through my old posts). That, in turn, hopefully says something about how much I believe in the opportunities Kindle has to offer everyone and what an important role the WBC plays in that. Quote:
It's more about developing an audience on Kindle, publishing good quality books regularly and taking more of a long view on ROI. Although I'd like to think I write fairly well, I'm not a writer and to be honest, don't want to be. But, several times a year, the guys I work with push me into writing a 20 to 30 page tome on something that we give away free to our list as part of our overall marketing plan. Kindle allows me to publish that same work, still give it away free to the list and then sell it to others. It's like a missing step for me that's a no-brainer to take advantage of. Since I've only published one book and haven't started promoting it yet, I can't give you any concrete numbers, other than I seem to be making 1 sale about every other day. On the surface of things, that's not much obviously, but...I have a plan ![]() Now I'm going back and making "2nd Editions" out of much of my previous work to get them in the pipeline. These are all things I'm not selling - just gave away. I'm assuming that, without doing anything other than publishing, even a measly 15 sales a month works out to about $30. I've got roughly 100 books to publish (without even writing anything new), so if that really low figure holds, it's about $3K a month. If I actually get off my butt and start promoting, I know from experience that those numbers will increase dramatically - they always have, for me at least. All that and I'm not even a writer...go figure. I don't plan on spending a lot of time on this either - I can reasonably allocate about four hours a week tops, because of other commitments, and so far that seems to be working out. One of the things I foresee is the death of PDF - with all the illicit sharing and blatant theft of PDF format ebooks, Kindle makes a lot of sense, especially with their Digital Rights Management. We often see complaints in the main forum about products turning up on black hat sites, file sharing sites, etc., and Kindle is in a position to stop or at least make it a lot more difficult. Given that Kindle has free apps for so many different devices and a built-in affiliate program, I can't help but wonder why anyone would even bother to sell a PDF ebook. Now I'm just rambling, so Riki look - worst case you make little or no money. But I believe, if you follow Bryan's plan, work in here with the membership and get their expert guidance, you'll make money. And if you stay the course, you'll continue to do so over time. | |

Yes, I'd like to add that stuff in there before any price increase, so that (hopefully) a good amount of Warriors can get in there before the increase. I'd like to get it done before the end of January, if I can have everything ready by then. Thanks, Bryan |

I woke up this morning .....and I joined Warrior Book Club. Yeah well I am better at writing books than lyrics! No really, I have been reading through Bryan's reports and I have been stunned at how close and yet how far away I was at selling my main Kindle book. I will apply the techniques and report back. You see I have been scratting around for years with IM and have had some success. But you know what? I was bored with some of the ways of making money. Yes I was that blogger. And yes I spent til I dropped on adWords before the bubble burst. I do PR for a living so that will always be at the forefront. But these new promotional techniques revealed in WBC mean that I can now turn my hobbies into money making units. And I am only just digesting the reports. I haven't even been on to see the forum member posts yet. So if you are looking for the paradigm that is unlikely to change for another few years, this is it. Thank you Bryan for explaining how making money can also be interesting and fulfilling. How to Get My Life Back Through Kindle anyone? |

I'm in the IM market. Are people really finding that Kindle is a viable way to promote if done properly and can help in the IM market, get new people on their lists, in their marketing funnel, etc? Or is it better for other non IM/Biz niches? Thanks, RMX |

RMX, It's doable, and is being done. However, the effectiveness of list-building depends on the niche you choose, as well as the process you use to get them into your funnel. It works better with IM than with many other niches. Bryan |

Hi Frank, The primary focus is English. So, I don't know if this group will be able to help you much if your books are in other languages. Although, the marketing plan and tips shared inside the forum would work for books in any language, if you can understand and implement the tips (which are in English.) Thanks, Bryan Quote:

Hi Bryan! I just joined. Haven't even been inside yet but I just really started Kindle last year and I love Geoff Shaw's course but like I always tell my subscribers, it's important to learn from many sources. So you're my next source. I have a non fiction series to wrap up and then it's all fiction for me in 2013. I have one fiction short story (The Feast) out there doing okay and my vegetarian book is the best one I'm selling, but I haven't promoted since that first month so I need to force myself to be active. Can't wait to jump in. I promise to be a good girl. LOL! Tiff |

When I combined my experience with Bryan Kumar products with my need for exactly this type of resource... I didn't even bother reading the testimonials. Just signed up and I'm diving in right now. I've got quite a few books published and in the Kindle marketplace right now. Some doing better than others. I know they could all be promoted better though. Thanks for offering something like this. |
