How Much More $$$ Can You Earn Beyond Amazon KDP? My IngramSpark Income Revealed!


Hi Reader,

If you’ve been self-publishing solely on Amazon KDP, you might be leaving money on the table. A lot of authors assume KDP is the only way to go, but what if there’s a way to expand your reach and increase your income?

I’ve been publishing wide with Ingram since 2020, and in this video, I show you how much I’ve earned from IngramSpark in December 2024. I share real numbers and insights and you will be surprised at the results. So, is it worth it? Should you publish wider?

This will depend on the books you publish and your overall strategy. The books I publish are varied. They consist of children's books, gift books, some high-content books and educational books. I don't publish coloring books or low content journals or anything of that nature on Ingram.

Before you proceed with IngramSpark, you MUST be aware of the following.

  1. You must have a unique ISBN that you have purchased for each book you upload. You are NOT permitted to use the free KDP ISBN.
  2. Ensure you meet the Content Integrity Guidelines of Ingram. If you don't, your book will not be published and distributed by Ingram and you will waste the money you spent purchasing your ISBN and will not be refnded. The Content Integrity rules can be found HERE: https://www.ingramspark.com/blog/ingramsparks-catalog-integrity-announcement

If you’ve ever wondered whether IngramSpark is the missing piece in your publishing strategy, this video will be of interest to you.

Hi Reader, When people tell me they feel stuck creating their course, it's rarely about the tech.More often, it's this: “I have all this knowledge… but I don’t know how to structure it into a course.” It’s a common problem, and a crucial one. A well-structured course doesn’t just make your content easier to teach, it makes it easier for your students to learn, and when your students get results, your course gets shared, reviewed, and recommended. That’s how you grow. Here’s how to make sure...

Hi Reader, It’s no surprise that so many self-publishers focus on no-content and low-content books. They’re quick to produce, easy to publish, and offer a great way to learn the ropes. But what if the real opportunity was somewhere else? In my latest YouTube video, I unpack why children’s books might just be the hidden goldmine on Amazon KDP. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/yHZh68653aM Having published over 20 children’s books myself, I’ve noticed something interesting: while the time and...

Hi Reader, One of the most common concerns I hear from course creators is: “I want to create a course… but I don’t have an audience yet.” I get it. It can feel like a chicken-and-egg situation. You need an audience to sell your course, but you also want to launch your course to build an audience. So here’s the truth:You don’t need a massive following to launch a successful course. What you need is the right strategy and a few foundational steps to grow an audience of people who trust you and...
