From Blank Page to Bestseller: My Messy, Profitable Journey with AI, KDP, and One Big Fear Let’s not start with a lie. My first “book” was a 15-page PDF I sold for $2.99 in 2018. It looked like a school project, written in Comic Sans (I’m cringing just typing that). I made three sales. To my mom, my dad, and a very confused stranger who probably wanted a refund.

I Published 4 Kindle Books That Flopped. Here’s How “Keyword Archaeology” Unlocked My First Bestseller.
How I Went from Guessing to Earning: The Unsexy Truth About Finding Kindle Gold Let’s rewind three years. I was sitting at my kitchen table, the glow of my laptop the only light in the room.

From Blank Page to Pay Day: How I Finally Cracked the Code on Self-Publishing (And How You Can, Too) Let’s rewind to a Tuesday night, probably around 2 AM. My eyes were burning. I was staring at a perfectly formatted manuscript, a cover I’d paid too much for, and the Amazon KDP dashboard that looked like it was designed by aliens.

The GPU Gold Rush: How I Learned That NVIDIA’s H100 Isn’t The Only Game In Town (And What That Means For You)
My AI Obsession Started With a Frozen Screen: How Navigating the NVIDIA Chip Frenzy Unlocked Everything Let me be brutally honest with you. Eighteen months ago, I was staring at my screen, a pit in my stomach. My site, a passion project about creative tech tools, was dying. Traffic had flatlined. My server costs felt like a waste. Every “expert” article I churned out about “the future of AI” felt hollow, generic, and most importantly, useless.
