Kindle Direct Publishing launched is 2010 (nearly a decade ago at the time of me writing this post). And why that date is so ridiculous to me is that it's still ridiculously simple to make money selling Kindle ebooks... Yet, I guess most people on the planet simply don't know that. A few years after the Kindle Marketplace launched I mustered up the courage to publish my first title. And within a few short weeks I had already made over $100 - off of a $1.99 ebook! That's crazy. Now, unfortunately I didn't stick with it. But a friend of mine did. He started around the exact same time as me in the fall of 2012 and in about 3-4 months he had scaled his Kindle income to over $10,000/month! And the even crazier thing was that he had developed a system that was for the most part completely automated. The only "work" he did was logging into his account to see how much money he was making. I know that sounds like a fairytale - but he's not ...
