Thank you a lot for this video! We have some questions, 1: Can we publish the same book through KDP, Ingram, and Barnes and Noble all at the same time? And 2: Do you buy copyrights for each of your books as a series, or do you do it one book by itself, or do you just skip buying copyright for your book all together since you already own your own book?

Thank you for this video and all your hard work. As much as I would love to be in bookstores, the 55% discount and risk of returns is too much for me.

Hey Mandi! First of all thanks for all the time and hard work you put into training all of us. I am a disabled Air Force Veteran that runs an online ministry. I Have written poetry as well as inspirational writings. I would like to purchase copies of my poetry book and need to find a company that will make copies for reasonable prices. I do not need to be on amazon on any sites for sale. I will be sharing the copies with Family and Friends as well as asking for donations for my books as a ministry. Who do you recommend for a reasonable price? Thanks for any help you can give me. Stephen Lewis - Relevance For Today

I wish you would mention net profit after marketing costs cuz royalties are one thing but how much do people actually take home that profit every month

It depends on what type of marketing you do and how much you invest. I personally do mostly content marketing on social media and a very small amount of paid ads.

You mention Kindle Unlimited, how much is made there?

Hi. Is there some way I could privately contact Mandi Lynn re: seeking her input / participation in a new author-related business for which she might consider being affiliated if and when the business is launched? Thanks.
