OzFunBooks Monthly Summary #3 (June 2024)
Hello Everybody,
Time flies… This is my third Monthly Summary.
Thank you for following my Amazon KDP Publishing Journey. As mentioned in my first article, it is a slow and comprehensive journey.
Because it starts with learning and making a presence in the online world like Medium, Gumroad, and Newsletters.
Let's start with Expenses:
Paid Apps, Expenses
For Amazon KDP, I have paid for 3 products until now.
1. PngTree:
PngTree is a PNG image portfolio, and it is essential for any author and publisher. I bought a PngTree lifetime subscription for $67. Details are in this article: My best investment in Amazon KDP Journey. It is really my best investment on my Amazon KDP Publishing Journey.
2. BookBolt:
BookBolt is the leading no-low-medium content book creation tool. I paid $159 a year (with %20 discount to $199) for the pro package, including puzzle creation capabilities. You can buy the newbie package for $89.99 for a year if you don’t need the pro (puzzle) package. Click here to get %20 discount for the price. (affiliate link)
3. CreateStudio:
Although I am not a video professional, I voluntarily caught this 3d video creation tool “lifetime subscription”. I am sure it will be necessary in time for Amazon Bookstore A+ Content creation, and any other kind of promotion. I bought the Commercial License 3.0 Lifetime Deal for $67. Click here to buy at a discounted price. (affiliate link)
I will write detailed articles about BookBolt and CreateStudio shortly.
+ KeywordsEverywhere
Also, there is the top SEO keyword tool “KeywordsEverywhere” which I paid for at the beginning of 2024. I bought the Keywords Everywhere Annual Bronze Plan (100.000 keywords) for $15, and then it increased to $17.5. Now, the Bronze Plan is cancelled, and the cheapest package Annual Silver Plan (400.000 keywords) is billed $72 annually.
Expenses:
- PngTree $67
- BookBolt $159
- CreateStudio $67 (+$97 Platinum Package DEAL), Totally $163
- KeywordsEverwhere $15
- TOTALLY: $405
Income
I haven’t made any income from my Amazon KDP Publishing Journey and my Ko-Fi, BuyMeACoffee, Pensight, and Gumroad pages yet, because I am at the beginning.
But Affiliate links (for some essential Amazon KDP Tools) may start bringing success soon. My first affiliate article is My Best Investment on Amazon KDP Publishing Journey about PNGTREE.
I select products for affiliate marketing meticulously. I will continue writing articles shortly about the best Amazon KDP tools, I also bought.
I will always share the products I use or the products I believe in highly.
You know, I don’t expect anything from Medium.com because my articles are Not behind the paywall…
And, as I mentioned in previous articles, I added my first free printable Sudoku puzzle to Pensight.
You can download and print for free. Click to Download.
Follow me to access plenty of FREE puzzles and paintings.
In the future, I intend to publish premium products for low-priced monthly subscriptions like 1$ a month… I am a fan of free products and low prices… :)

Let’s continue with the medium activity.
Medium Stats
You can see my “view and read numbers” of Medium June 2024.
My most viewed article is my first article Amazon KDP for Beginners. It has 101 views and 59 reads with %59 read ratio.
I think, the “read” number mainly results from the “interaction” I made within Medium… And would like to be more optimistic about increasing it. But I don’t know how…
In June, Read/View ratio (18/41, %44) is worse compared to May (Read/View ratio (41/62, %66)) because of my low activity.
If I share more, I believe I will have more views and better ratios. But, I would be much happier if medium.com brought us more reads without the necessity of interaction.
Newsletter
I started to using Beehiiv as a newsletter but I finally come to conclusion that ConvertKit is easier and more user-friendly which plenty of features.
A newsletter is vital for creating an audience.
Free Apps Actively Used
Chrome Extention AMZ Suggestion Expander
Most Useful Udemy Courses:
The first is Romney T. NELSON’s AMAZON KDP Low and No Content Self-Publishing Accelerator Course.
The second one is Ben MCQUEENEY’s Publish Profitable Low Content Books on Amazon KDP in 2024.
To-Do List
- Share two KDP products on Medium.
- Create more free puzzles.
