@MrsWombat

Thank you so much for your kindle publishing help! I’ll have a good look at all of those links as soon as I get time, I’m going to have to do lots of research I think. I’m not trained in powerpoint but I do have it on my laptop so I’ll learn how to use that. I’ve also got an apple pencil and ipad that I thought I might be able to use to create the front covers?

I’ve often said I’d like to create a recipe book but thought it wasn’t something I’d ever do. However, if I start small and as you say, start with something basic to learn the ropes maybe one day, who knows!

Firstly, I’m getting to grips with matched betting so once that is rolling and doesn’t need as much of my attention, I’ll then start looking at kindle stuff.

Can I ask, have you ever purchased a hard copy of your own work from Amazon to see what the quality etc is like? Maybe the first planner type thing I create I could make something that I actually want myself so I can buy it

Well done on your Redbubble sales! (Another thing for me to research)

Have you used Merch by Amazon? What sort of profit percentage is likely?

Inspired by your threads I've started looking into some of the sites mentioned. Have signed up to Appen, but not quite got to grips with how that works yet! Just made £7.60 on my first Prolific survey so that's okay.

@Phantasmo feels good right, when you make some money £7.60 is a very good start - wish they all paid that much lol.

I've not had a prolific for that much in ages. I was offered one that was 70 minutes for £7.50 but turned it down.

Also Appen is one per household to whoever asked.

@lilmishap hey just seen your comment regarding the mystery shopping apps BME and Roamler. All I can say is it won't hurt downloading them, there seems to be a decline in people interested in these these apps lately but assuming that is in regards to the pandemic or going into shops without essential reasons and so on. You can pick and choose the jobs and also review the questions asked for that particular mission before u even accept. Rewards for most missions have dropped significantly across all mystery shopping apps post corona so mystery shoppers are working double harder then before to keep the same money coming in but if you live in a busy area like I do then it all mounts up. Bemyeye is a lot more easier then Roamler and in review they give u more feedback then any other app if you have gone wrong. I find doing the weekly shop with the kids I can easily book a few jobs in even if it is only a few quid to be made. Shepper and smartshift are becoming major competitors to the other two so cross reference any shopping outings against all four and it makes things all worthwhile , if your interest becomes deeper after doing a few missions try grassroots too or mystery-shoppers.co.uk as there jobs are higher in payment and a lot more interesting. For example I just did a job with grass roots to find out about a gym membership with my local fitness centre that paid £35. I am still waiting for it to be approved but 100 percent certain it will go through and took 20 mins max, also a job for £8 with my local Asda to check the conditions of the car park on a busy Saturday afternoon, still waiting on that too but all certain everything will be approved. Sorry for the long one but mystery shopping is a passion of mine, most think it's a scam but once you get into it u won't be able to stop

Can I ask -does everyone put their correct dob etc to apply. I usually don't put my exact dob when signing up to email accounts etc as I don't want all my personal details to be recorded. But for something like Prolific, Appen etc where payments are involved do you actually put your correct dob?

Prolific want to see your passport so you can’t lie about you DOB

Hi, yes I've bought bits for myself, getting a sale bumps it up Amazon's algorithm so it's generally a good idea. I do find it good quality. I've bought a Sudoku book I made for myself that constantly lives in my handbag. Last Christmas a notebook I made as a stocking filler for my teen was a good seller for me.

A colleague recently bought her son a book from Amazon to be delivered to work and showed it to us. I recognised it as a KDP item (when you know you know) and the print was very high quality. She couldn't believe it when I told her it had only been printed 24 hours early.

I started off with Merch, the profit from that is what I spent on the KDP. I'm currently on tier 100. I don't get many sales, and I'm slowly filling up my slots. I get more from KDP so that is where I'm focusing on.

You could probably start off with a recipe black notebook for someone to fill in with their own recipes?

Just realised I hadn't seen anything for a while then it occurred to me we were on a July thread! My App invoice is even worse than normal this month as I seem to have missed one or two of the surveys 🤦 but I'm doing WWW in every spare minute. Summer holidays soon but won't gain much as won't send DD to nursery every day (even though we've paid for it), if she goes two days a week I might allow one day for my 'proper' job and do one full day typing. That will be an interesting experiment!

@Boomisshiss thank you for replying

Morning, I haven't had my Aur reimbursements for last month added to my Ap*en invoice yet. Is this just me?!

Slow going today... 😴 my app project still down 🙁

@MrsWombat that all sounds great!

Think I'll definitely start then with things I want for myself or family. I keep getting ideas popping into my head and I'm writing them all down.

I've had family favourite recipes for years and when we went vegan I spent ages changing them all to diary free so I've got a fair bit of content and I think I could do the photos. Just not sure how long people would expect the books to be. I've seen a few bad reviews where customers said 'it was more like a pamphlet and not worth the money' so want to avoid pitfalls and not try and run before I can walk!

How many KDPs do you have? Is there a magic number people try to aim for or a bare minimum?

Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate it. In theory the posters on this thread are in competition with each other for some jobs but everyone is so generous with their time and info

I have less than 100. I sold my first book when I had less than 5. Quality is better than quantity. I've seen a few bloggers/youtubers say that only 20% of what you do will sell, and that's certainly true for me.

@GachaBread thanks for the mystery shopping info. I’ve been on Roamler, Field Agent and Streetspotr for ages but finding them a lot of work for not much money. A few years ago I could fill a day doing them and make a decent sum but some barely cover the petrol money.

@superpinkgirl

I think they're added as a "bonus" after the invoice has been approved, so should be soon.

@YonderTweek Ah thank you and phew!

@MrsWombat that makes sense. It follows the 80/20 business rule. 80% of your profits are likely to come from 20% of your products (or customers) In this case, bestsellers!

There’s suddenly loads of projects for me to apply for on Appen, is it the same for everyone else? I only signed up about 3 months ago but not seen much to apply for.

What happens when you apply for a project on Appen? Does it take a few days/weeks for you to find out if you've been accepted. I applied for a few yesterday but am not sure what the standard time is. Or if you just don't hear if you're unsuccessful.

I have continued pootling about on Prolific today and have made £40 so far which I think is not bad since I only started yesterday.

Hi I want to join in! I started with Appen... but I'm finding when I go to select the 'starter' job it wants me to sign in and then says my username and password don't match (they do! I've tried several times and even changed my password to be sure!). Any ideas?

@SleepyMama2021 have you signed up to the correct Appen website? You want Appen Connect. What you described sounds like the other site to me....(I signed up to the wrong site in the beginning, I remember the signing in problems)

Has anyone heard anything from Ar / S**e yet? I haven't received the email yet and it would appear that I don't have products in the tool. Does anyone else have any luck?

Thanks @AnotherOne4, now when I try to sign up I can't meet the password requirements but it doesn't tell me what are beyond over 8 charcaters... I typically include capital and lower case and number and symbol so not sure what I'm missing!

(I also swear I'm usually quite computer literate but I didn't sleep well last night so might not be in my best mind!)

@Catatemyhomework no nothing yet. The chat suggests some countries have tasks but it could be too early yet.
