This is a question that many newbies ask about making money online with Kindle Direct Publishing. I will use a story to answer your question. First, I have to be honest and say that you asked the wrong question. If you really want to focus on the money, which is great, the best question to ask is, “How many books do I need to publish to make $xyz per month?”

As promised, I will tell you how quickly you can make money with Amazon KDP from Nigeria by sharing a story with you.

There were two young lawyers working at different law firms in Lagos, Nigeria. Let’s assume that their names are Lawyer Bee and Lawyer Tee for the sake of keeping them anonymous.

Lawyer Bee saw an advertisement on Facebook about a young guy who made $4,100 in a month by simply creating and publishing small books on the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) website of Amazon.

The guy told the story of how he started and what he has achieved in just 12 months. Lawyer Bee found this guy’s story so compelling that he decided to sign up for the guy’s free guide on how to start an Amazon KDP business from Nigeria.

He figured out that if he is able to start generating at least $1,000 monthly (10x his current salary) from this side hustle, he will be able to resign and focus on it to make even more money.

This will allow him to finally approach the pretty babe he has been fantasizing about since the day he moved into his uncle’s apartment and saw her walking down the street beside the house.

After downloading the free guide, he read it three times while returning home from work that day. He was so excited about the whole thing.

That evening, he kept imagining how amazing it would be for him to be earning as much as the Amazon millionaire (as he now calls the guy). He thought about it for a long time and then decided to buy the full training course that was advertised in the free guide.

The only challenge was that he only had 10,000 naira saved, and the course required him to invest 20,000 naira for the knowledge and mentorship group. He started planning how to get the remaining 10,000 naira.

In another scene, we see Lawyer Tee in a BRT bus, returning home from work the same day his colleague saw the advertisement on Facebook. He was watching the latest Wakanda movie on Netflix when a notification popped up from YouTube.

When he checked it, he saw an image of a fine-looking guy and a text that read, “How I made $4,100 in 30 days publishing small books online as a non-writer.”

He chuckled and quietly muttered, “Those fake gurus have come again.” He continued watching his movie until he got home. As he was about to go to bed, he decided to take a look at his Facebook feed for any trending gists.

Guess the first thing he saw in the sidebar. You guessed right. It was the same image he saw on the YouTube notification earlier. He was now curious to really know what was going on.

If this guy has the money to advertise on both Facebook and YouTube at the same time, he must be making money for real, he thought.

After reading the guy’s story, he decided to sign up for the free guide. It is free anyway.

He thought about the guide he had downloaded and decided that he would read it the next morning. After reading it cover to cover, he asked himself an interesting question: “Can this be the answer to my prayer for financial breakthrough?” He already knew the answer.

It was now a question of how soon he could start. But he still needed more detailed information about the whole process. He recalled that there was a link in the guide about a full training course. He followed the link and got the course immediately.

That was how he started studying and implementing what he was learning. He wrote down some goals like “research seven books and publish three per week.” He was realistic and consistent.

Lawyer Bee, on the other hand, was not consistent. After getting the course, he started studying. Three days into his study, a friend told him about cryptocurrency trading, and he got excited about it. He only studied his Amazon KDP course for a few hours a week, and he was able to publish three books in three months.

Three months after both lawyers started their Amazon KDP businesses, Lawyer Bee had made $2.55 and Lawyer Tee had made a total of $1500.

So, to answer your question about how quickly you can make money with Amazon KDP from Nigeria, the answer is…

It all depends on you.

You can choose to be like Lawyer Bee or Lawyer Tee. I hope I have answered your question. Are you ready to start your Amazon KDP business?
