Hey people! What up. Hope this gives you an idea of what to expect in your first year of Amazon KDP. Is it worth it? How much can you make? What is realistic? I can't say for sure, but I can share my story to help you out. But enough talking, enjoy the video!

Hiring VAs Advice (per request of the homie @danielm5386)

First, watch this video:    • How To Hire Freelancers On Upwork (3 ...  

Second, these are my notes from the video:
1. Invite freelancers to your job - find the best looking freelancers and invite them to join. They may not, but at least you can make them aware of the work and hopefully hire them.
2. Create a Minimum Viable Assignment - a task with the least amount of work necessary to test somebody’s skill. It is a really cheap way to vet the field and to save oodles of time, money, and headaches. Do fixed cost assignments in order to do this.
3. If your project is more complicated, hire 2 or 3 people at once. For the 1st week, give them all similar tasks and see how they do. Then cut people who are not bringing in the bread.

Third, just try it.
I highly recommend just hiring SOMEONE. Even for a stupid test, like writing an email to the president or researching bowling alleys near you and putting them in a spreadsheet with pros and cons from google reviews. Whatever - the main thing is to get experience at a low financial cost. Make it a $5-10 job to start. So get on Fiverr or UpWork and try it. Fail fast - there's always more to learn than we think. Have fun with it!
