Every time you sell a book, you will earn commission, if you sell a lot of books, you will make a lot of money. Does this mean you can make a lot of money by publishing books on KDP? Well, I have published a few ebooks on KDP. Do I make a lot of money from my books? Well, that’s not the case. Publishing books is the easiest step, the hardest one is selling your book.
