Summary

This listing is for an Amazon KDP business created in August 2018 in the romance niche. The business includes 20 standalone ebooks, 2 box set of ebooks, 1 box set of paperbacks, 9 paperbacks, and 6 audiobooks, an email list of 7K, and a trademark. Thanks to a VA, writing service, and two cover artists, the Seller spends minimal time on the business. In 2019 the top 5 books (4 standalones and one box set) made up for approximately 58% of the total revenue for the year. Paperbacks are a small component of the business and they are fulfilled by Amazon. One book is released typically once a month but recently the author has tried to increase to two books a month. The books are written under one trademarked pen name consistently rated as a Top 100 Amazon author. The business uses a writing service for the books, a VA who helps with email promotions, and two cover artists. The VA and cover artists are willing to continue on with the Buyer and the same writing service will be available to the Buyer as well. Detailed SOPs will be provided to the benefit of the Buyer. The 7K email list is not directly monetized but there is room to do so by accepting paid promotion requests. Email is sent under the author pen name on the 1st and 15th of each month. Between these days the VA sends promotions for other authors. The business then receives promotions by other authors in return. This is a known practice called “SWAPS”. Facebook and Instagram accounts exist for the business but they are not important in terms of traffic. A website is included and it directs visitors to Amazon where they can buy books directly. The sale includes two completed books that have not been published yet, one book work in progress, and two box sets not published yet.

Reason for sale

The Seller would like to purchase real estate from the proceeds of the sale.
