How to build a full-time Amazon KDP income in 2026 with Demand-First Publishing
AI changed KDP more in the last six months than in the six years before it. On Thursday I'll show you what still sells: fewer, better books people already want, without writing a word, flooding Amazon with AI books or burning cash on ads.

Sam Barnes
Founder, Passive Self-Publishing · Publishing on Amazon KDP since October 2019
Sam built his KDP business alongside a full-time job and only went full-time when one book made over five times his monthly salary. It paid for him to travel the world from 23 to 25.
In April 2023 Amazon terminated his main account, and he told his whole audience about it. He got it back, and he's taught the rule-safe way to publish ever since.

My first year on KDP... thanks to Sam, who helped me find a profitable niche and what turned out to be my best-selling book.
