Summary

This listing is for an Amazon KDP business created in July 2019 in the books, culinary, and information niches. Included in the sale are 140+ books in paperback, eBook, and audiobook formats. The top-selling book is a comprehensive guide on carrying out a particular type of craft activity and it features over 180 positive reviews. Many of the other books are informational, rated 4-stars+, and cover a variety of topics including dietary restrictions. Overall, this business requires minimal effort to maintain. The top 5-7 books account for ~70% of the total business revenue. Amazon KDP accounts for 71% of the business earnings and ACX accounts for 29%. The business has a team of contractors who produce 3-4 books each month. The team consists of writers, editors, designers, and proofreaders who are native English speaking or fluent in English. All freelancers would be willing to continue working with the new owner. The biggest growth opportunities for this business according to the Seller are building brands around the authors with websites, communities, and marketing channels other than Amazon PPC. The Seller also believes that publishing more content in the fiction niche and translating books into other languages are growth opportunities for this business. *The Seller has previously had 5 books blocked, 4 of them for “unsatisfactory customer experience” as the content was not very different from books previously submitted in the same KDP account. The other 1 was for a trademark claim since the seller did not know the product was protected by a trademark. All books currently published on the account have not received any type of warning or penalty.

Reason for sale
