In this video I break down how you can publish your own book in South Africa using Amazon KDP, and how this can turn into a real passive income stream if you do it the right way. I talk about why selling books (especially low-content books like journals) is a smart move, and how Amazon makes it possible for you to sell beyond just your local area. The goal here is to shorten the journey for you, because KDP has money in it—but there’s also a lot to learn if you’re going in blind. I also show you the practical side: how I create journals, why you need to work with a plan, and the tools I use like Canva, Procreate, and a KDP calculator to check if the numbers make sense. I share examples of my own books on KDP, including my “Learning to smile again” journal, and I chat about my first self-published book, “Kai loves bananas.” Then I get into the South Africa-specific part—how to get an ISBN number locally and the company I used for it. If you’re serious about self-publishing, this is your step-by-step starting point.
