He said that he spent $860.60 on advertising, giving him an income for that month alone of $3,463, equivalent to around £2,800.
Paul said “that wasn’t bad” seeing as he considered June a “quiet month,” adding that sales of these types of books normally increase through to the Christmas period.
Paul added that they not only make great gifts for friends and family but can also be designed to suit businesses which can also become a money spinner.
Many of Paul’s followers were quick to thank him for his easy to understand advice, with lots of commentators saying they had got started thanks to him.
One commentator said: “Hi Paul Marles…you are great!! Thank you for being the kind of teacher every beginner needs. I have published my first just as a little practice round…will be following you step by step for all my next plans. Thanks again.”
Another wrote: “Thanks so much Paul. I truly appreciate your user friendly, down to earth instructions.
“I’ve created my first journal at 72 years of age and it makes me feel wonderful that this old grand ma has accomplished this, five years after publishing my first book. God bless and prosper you sir.”
While a third added: “This was more helpful than probably any tutorial video I’ve ever seen.
“Definitely subscribing. Seeing the back end of KDP was also super helpful and makes me feel much less intimidated by the prospect of self-publishing now. Thanks!”
