With this post I’ll finally be caught up with my income reports for KDP. The past few months have been extremely busy. I’m in the process of trying to sell my house and moving. It’s been a lot of work to get my house ready to list so I haven’t had much time to sit down and work on my businesses. Hopefully my house sells soon and in another month or two, things will get back to normal. Here is my February 2025 Amazon KDP Income Report:
February 2025 Income Report
In February 2025, I sold 114 books for a total income of $222.02. I didn’t publish any new books in February so I started the month and ended the month with 33 books on my bookshelf. I had had 22 coloring books, 3 log books, 6 scrapbook paper pads and 2 journals. I sold 10 coloring books (106), 2 log books (4) and 4 scrapbook paper pads (8).
Advertising was high at $18.33 and I did not like the ACOS at 28.71%. I prefer the ACOS to be less than 25% with the ideal ACOS around 11%. I’m going to have to keep a closer eye on my advertising and tweak it throughout the month. Still, it’s not too bad and I didn’t lose any money on it. I just wish the ACOS was lower.
Total Amazon KDP Income for February 2025: $203.69
Previous Month’s Earnings
January 2025: $213.79
December 2024: $362.47
November 2024: $67.75
October 2024: $61.14
I am incredibly happy with my income for February. It’s the shortest month of the year and Q1 and yet I still made over $200 for the month!
What Did I Do In February?
As I said before, I am selling my house so I spent pretty much all of my free time working on home improvement projects. I didn’t get anything done in February for KDP except for trying to get caught up on posting these income reports.
Goals for March 2025
- Publish 31 books
- Add A+ content to 40 books
- Start advertising in Canada
One of the goals I made for 2025 is to publish a book a day starting in March. I’m going to try to do the best I can to accomplish this. Amazon takes at least 2, sometimes 3 days to review a book and approve it to be published. They don’t allow me to publish any new books while I have 3 books currently in review. If I have 3 books in review and they are taking longer than 3 days to review, then it messes up my book a day schedule. It’s already March 8 but I’ve only gotten 4 books published because the review times are so long. I have books ready to be published but I have to wait for the current books to be reviewed. So we’ll see how many I can get published in March. Maybe I’ll get lucky and some books will get reviewed in a few hours instead of day.
My 2nd for March is to get some A+ content published. I would like to get A+ content published to all of my books by the end of the year so my goal for March is to publish A+ content for every book published in the month plus publish A+ content on 9 of my currently published books.
My 3rd goal for March is to start advertising in Canada. One of my goals for 2025 was to start advertising internationally. I think Canada is a good place to start. They use the dollar, just like the US, and they speak English, so it makes sense to advertise there. I’ll probably start with a low daily budget and see how it goes.
It’s such a relief to be caught up on these income reports, at least for KDP. I now have some clear goals for March that I can work on whenever I have some free time. I’m not sure how much I’m going to be able to get done (selling a house and moving is stressful and time consuming) but I’m going to try my best to get all the goals completed.
