Written by the seller / broker
Launched in 2025, this Kindle Direct Publishing business dominates the Spirituality & Personal Growth niche with a flagship title that boasts almost 2,000 reviews and a 4.1-star rating. The business operates on a semi-passive model, requiring less than 5 hours per week of management due to its efficient, fully in-house production process for high-quality full-content books. A robust proprietary marketing infrastructure supports the business, including a 40,000+ subscriber email list, a dedicated website, and active social media profiles, providing significant leverage for both new launches and off-Amazon marketing. Strong Amazon Ad campaigns maintain a 25-33% ACOS, complemented by strategic Facebook Ads that drive high-intent traffic directly to the listings. This well-rounded approach has not only fortified the brand's online presence but also ensured continuous audience growth. Disclaimers: This business is highly reliant on one book - which generates over 96% of all revenue Buyers will have the option to either take over the full KDP account or merge the books into an existing account. If a merge is chosen, historical data (ads, analytics, account history, etc) will not transfer. Please note that KDP, ACX, Ingram Spark, and Draft2Digital payments are delayed for 30-90 days, so there will be residual revenue due to the Seller. This will be reconciled during the migration process. At the time of listing, we used a shorter pricing period in order to avoid the negative "launch" months with high ad costs and low revenue.
Seller supportThe Seller is willing to offer 30 days of email support and/or calls to ensure a smooth transition for the Buyer.
Reason for saleThe Seller would like to explore other opportunities.
