Has anyone had luck selling short ebooks on Amazon? I wrote an ebook when I was trying to do accounting and tax stuff on the side.

I sold one and made $2.06 😂. I have a CPA and MBA, and know a lot about investing

I work in healthcare but my passion is to make folks financially stable and wealthy.

Any tips?!?!

I might buy one if you have a good product! But no bigger advice outside of making yourself more viral in some way.

Thanks! YouTube is littered with folks that do this and many have great channels.

You have to market it. Most things don’t sell themselves. What’s your marketing plan?

You wanna pay me? Lol. But really there are tons of free mktg resources online for self pub authors. Check those out but at the end of the day it boils a down to 1. Who would benefit from reading your book (be specific!) 2. What pain point of theirs would it solve? 3. What makes it unique? Those 3 Qs will help you narrow your audience and messaging. Good luck!!

I mean who are you to sell books and give advice, when there are accomplished professionals giving the advice for free on YouTube?

Honestly, this isn’t the concern. Who are you to offer advice on here? Neither of those questions matter.
Any producer of something is only responsible for production and setting pricing they feel is fair for their work. How much others want to pay for that service is up to the customer. What other people choose to do with their own knowledge and time is only up to them.
By your logic no one should offer mechanic services because I can learn to do it for free using the internet or books. Or no one should build tables because I could just build it myself. It’s failed logic.
Additionally, money is only one way to pay for something. Using YouTube to learn requires an investment of time and judgement. Some people would rather invest in that way and others would prefer a monetary investment. Nothing is ever really free.
