#001 - Amazon KDP Changed Our Lives. Here's the Full Story.

In this first episode, we (Andrey and Tim) sit down to share how they each discovered Amazon KDP, what their publishing journey looked like from day one, and where things stand now.Andrey has generated over $500,000 in book sales in the last two years, with his best month hitting $123,000. Tim started in May 2025 and scaled to $55,000/month within months. Together, they're part of Driven Publishers Elite, one of the fastest-growing communities for serious self-publishers.This podcast exists because there's a gap: most KDP content is surface-level, and there's almost no English-language podcast focused on the business side of self-publishing. Andrey and Tim go deep on strategy, AI tools, market trends, and what it actually takes to build a real publishing business on Amazon.Topics in this episode:- How we each found KDP (and why we almost didn't start)- The numbers: from $80 profit to $55K/month- Why book bundling dropped BSR from 50K to 20K overnight- Working together 12 hours a day in Sweden- How AI is changing publishing right now- PublishFlow: the software we're building for high-quality AI-assisted books---Sign up for the PublishFlow Launch Webinar (March 19):https://publishflow.ai/?utm_source=Podcast1
