Tap Into A Surprising Creative Surplus for Writers

Now I was blown away by this statistic. It is a surprising number. This number is from the amount of money that writers have earned through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)platform. If you are not familiar with the platform, it a place where you an publish books independently and earn royalties.

When I talk about the surprise number I am referring to the $54 million that writers earned in October 2024 from KDP. Speaking of earning through KDP, I have documented my journey on Medium. Check out one of my latest posts here:

How I Made Nearly $400 On KDP

I call that $54 million a surplus and I am sure that number will increase in the future. There is definitely extra money to be made for yourself and your family whether you do KDP full time or as a side hustle.

From my experience, publishing through KDP is worth it. You can be among the writers to tap into the millions.

Have you published on KDP before? If so, what has been your experience.
