Launched in 2023, this thriving Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) business specializes in the education niche, focusing primarily on exam study guides. The business boasts a robust portfolio of 115 titles, with a remarkable 99% of its revenue generated from audiobooks via ACX, highlighting a concentrated expertise in the audiobook market. The business demonstrates strong financial health with monthly revenue of approximately $10,000 and a trajectory of growing revenue, with remarkably little to no advertising costs involved. The business operates with minimal owner involvement, as the seller prefers to work in batches, contributing to a streamlined and manageable workflow. Unique to this business, no single book accounts for more than 4% of total sales, indicating a well-diversified product base that minimizes risk. Additionally, the intellectual property is solidly protected as all books have registered copyrights. Disclaimers: 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. The seller notes the following account level issues: My KDP and ACX account was terminated when I first opened it in 2023, which is common when verifying the identification. My accounts are in great standing. All my books have been copyrighted either in the entirety or the introduction only which offers extreme protection from being banned by amazon or acx. Please reach out to the seller for further commentary on this matter.
