@ carguy: Yes, scaling it up should bring in what you want. Normally with the most things where you rinse and repeat. Thank yo very much for your input and keep it going on this thread, really interesting!!! Repadded.
Because free downloads: Simply forget it if you only want to achieve higher paid rankings. It can be still a good deal, if you want to do any other promotions WITHIN the free book for other books maybe, your blog, etc PP.
But the paid rankings are already nearly to zero influenced by this and its going down more and more... You can find proof a lot if you google around and in the kindle forums too. And consider it today as a thing in which you really might loose SOME decent money... And consider posting in FB groups related to your niche, which should boost them. But as said, the free downloads should be really used with caution and big plan nowadays.
@thilord: Well done. Keep it going. In a lot countries you wouldnt only make a living but already be legible to be called wealthy with the income by now... repadded
@carguy @thilord:
Did you follow any systems promoted in courses of the WF or whatsoever Gurulie info materials? And if yes, which?
ooops... carguy is gone... :D wtf? Okay,
carguy is now called mieipula whatever this means...
Hi JrEinStein
I anyway wanted to tell about my achievements.
I am in the same niche, recipe, but haven t made a big research on it, just followed any real old tricks from 2010...
They are very "nichy" though....
And I have had it written outsourced not cheap, for around 220 USD .... Inside of this there was also an edit of an old book from the public domain, of which I am very unsure if I should publish it.
So, two books brought in now around 140 USD since published 6 months ago.
Not much of a backlist there and not much of promotion around it.
I am still unsure if I should dig deeper through publishing more in that niche... also could write them my own I pretty much guess, although english isnt my main language.
But I am going to step into fiction, in EVERY case.... Thats my two cents here.

I have books with pictures too but they don't perform as good as one of my plain recipe book performs. Success with this type of book depends on 'topic' you choose. A big chunk of my Kindle earnings come from this book alone. So give importance to topic. Carry out detailed research about what is popular among Kindle readers. Do not assume anything, test, test and test! You will definitely have a 'hit' or even 'superhit' book. Good Luck!

Romance, Fantasy, Fantasy/Romance, Children's Fiction, Original Recipe Books with photos (not just a bunch of recipes you've swiped from somewhere else).
