        @Jason-Bowen I did self publishing with Amazon. Most if not all of my sales were through self promotion. Being the author you can get the books for all most cost. So what I did was sold them myself and if they bought it through me it would be signed by my son how wrote the story. I bought like 100 books and sold them all and had a good number of purchases off Amazon as well. After a few months of not pushing it on social media, all sales stopped. Once in awhile someone will stumble across and buy it.

              @Jason-Bowen There is a great class in this topic on Skillshare done by long time Illustrator and Art Licensor Ronnie Walters. She takes you through every step of the process - every bit worth one month’s subscription. 🤓

                I've published several kids books on Amazon. But as @Chip-Valecek said, most of my sales come from self promotion and buying my books myself and then reselling them by hand.
