I QUIT KDP for IngramSpark (Here's What Happend!)
|
Hi Reader, Don't get me wrong, Amazon KDP helped launch my self-publishing journey and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities it created. But over the past few years, I've found myself spending more and more time and money on Amazon Ads, working tirelessly to get reviews and trying to stay visible in a very competitive marketplace. I've personally noticed an increase of 70-80% in Ad spend just to remain relevant for keywords on Amazon Ads, eroding so much of my profitability. That's why I started putting more focus on IngramSpark. In my latest YouTube video, I share my actual May 2026 IngramSpark sales report, including: ✅ How many book sales I had in the month of May across the US and UK The biggest lesson? It's been the best way EVER to create ongoing publishing income without constantly funding ad campaigns and trying to get reviews. If you've only ever published on Amazon, this video might open your eyes to another opportunity that's often overlooked by self-publishers. Watch the full video here and let me know what you think: If you've not looked into IngramSpark, now could be the time! All the best, Romney Founder - Global Self-Publishing www.globalselfpublishing.com |

You’ve published your book… now what? For most authors, that’s where the journey slows down. Sales trickle in, the excitement fades and the book quietly sits there, doing far less than it could. But what if your book wasn’t the end goal? What if it were the starting point for something much bigger, a community, a course, a YouTube channel, even a full business built around your expertise? That’s exactly what I discovered after publishing my first book in 2019. What started as a single idea...
For years, self-publishing a children’s book came with one big frustration.....Consistency. You could have a beautiful main character on page one…Only for your character/s to look slightly off on page two.Different face. Different proportions. Different “feel”. If you've faced this issue before, you know what I mean! But now with new AI advancements, things have changed. AI has quietly crossed a threshold and children’s book publishing is one of the biggest beneficiaries. Right now, it’s...
