 What is up everyone and welcome to this video. It is going to be a Q&A video, which I actually really enjoy doing. I loved the Q&A videos. It's been a while since we did them. I love them because you can just engage with people, answer people's questions. They're normally like very informative because you talk about a lot of different topics and you answer questions that people have directly on camera like that. They're just fun and you guys can ask whatever in the world you want. Yeah, so let's take more questions than this one. In the comments section of this video, it'll be a Q&A with the four of us, the two other twins that we have. So we're actually quadruplets. We're actually the Mikkelsen quadruplets and we're going to be introducing them to the channel. So you put a picture on the screen of the Mikkelsen quadruplets? Yeah. Okay. No, no, it's not actually that. It's our girlfriends, okay? So we're going to do a video with them because I know people have actually asked questions one about them but mostly about things with relationships and entrepreneurship because sometimes they can collide. People have asked questions about that. So we'll do a video together, answer questions, ask them down below if you'd like to. Hashtag, ask a twin. And again, we answer every single question, every single one. Well, hold on, with a couple's one, it could get intense. Let's see how intense people can make it. Let's get in the Q&A video. Yes, we have 19 questions these were taken about like two weeks ago. I just briefly looked through them. Yeah, this is just from the comment section of a recent video. Or else it's just off the top of the head. So first question right into it. From AC Zito. Can you guys do a vlog? Yes, yes. We have a few vlogs on our channel, not that many. Probably some from Hawaii, we have some from Bali. What do we have? Like one six, maybe six vlogs on our channel. They're normally not the most informative. They're more just like for fun and entertainment. Which is why we don't do them. I want to have information to provide. Yeah, yeah. And but I say the biggest reason is I'd like to do it. If you guys want it, fuck it, let's do it. But it's so much work. That's the thing, it's so much work which can segue us into this next thing. We have a full-time camera guy joining the squad. He's from Vancouver, we're flying him to Bali. He's going to be living with us full-time. He's just like a camera guy now. So we can vlog 24 seven. Let's not use too much time to answer that question. Yeah. I'm just pumped for that. But it's so much work and he's going to handle all the video editing, all the camera work and I cannot wait. And he's really good, the quality of everything on our channel and the frequency is going to go through. Oh yeah, because we've been slacking our frequency, we're going to go off the frequency, off the quality. I'm really excited. Next question from Lou Ka. Oh, I want to say one thing about the vlog. So we're going to Croatia in June. We might be doing a 30-day daily vlog thing. That's what I want to do at least. If our camera guy's name is Dane, can handle it. And if you guys want it, it'll be informative and shit like that. So next question from Lou Space Ka. Hashtag ask a twin, I heard ACX is flagging foreigners. What does it mean and what in practice is happening? So yes, ACX is flagging foreigners. And the reason being in the ACX terms of service, it says that you must be a resident of the US, UK, Canada or Ireland to be able to publish on ACX. So you could still join ACX, but technically against the terms of service. So yeah, they're flagging foreigners. But there is a workaround, a very easy workaround. It is simply to open a US-based LLC. LLC stands for Limited Liability Corporation. It's a business entity based in the US. Anyone in the world can start it. So then you're publishing, your ACX publishing business goes through this US LLC and not through you, and then completely legal. I want to say, we don't know what you just said out to be like the solution as 100% fact, because I've also heard something about, there's been some LLC problems. So before we make a video, we want to make a video talking about it in depth, exactly what to do. I just want to have all the facts exactly straight. I'm 90 confirmed with everyone. I'm 99% certain. So I'll just say that we will have a video in the future when we know the facts. Yeah, exactly. So next question from Feed Photo One. Hi guys, I would like to know when you do top to bottom approach, comma bundle. Okay, so this is something taught in another publishing course, something that we never talk about and have never talked about before. So no, we don't talk about that. How do you know the range for the second step of the pyramid? Does not apply. Everyone says how to start, but no one had a scale. I got it from micro keyword, where you start from, but how do you choose the most profitable, bigger or mid keyword? I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no idea what you're talking about. No, let me talk for once. I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no idea what the heck you're talking about. This is an example of a question that we probably shouldn't answer, but we say we answer every single question, every single one. Hope I've explained myself. No. Thank you for being so informative and share so much with us. At least one of us is informative. Send love to you, XOXO. You're very kind and sweet, but I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what the bottom up approach is. Bottom up approach is something taught in another Kindle publishing course I took. So I know about the bottom up approach, but I never followed it myself and I don't believe it either. I know nothing about it. So sorry. That's not necessary to use at all. I really do this next question of it. From Kanchan Kumar Bakat. I was like, ask a twin, how much time will it take to start making some real money since Amazon Payouts are like two months? So you mentioned Amazon Payouts are like two months. Can I ask a question? Like people need to clean up their grammar. Doesn't make sense, but I know what you mean. So when you first invest money and then when you get it back, about four months. Four months. That's what I was gonna say. That turnaround time from making money back and the money that you invested. So the first four months are hard and then after that, now you're getting paid every single month and you're good. The first four months are the hardest for sure. So after that, you're getting paid every single month. And that's just a part of it. We went through the four month period where it feels like money is low and then all of a sudden it comes back like, okay, we're good. Quickly explain it. So the first two months is how long it takes to produce the book. And then the next month you make your first sales and then in the fourth month is when you get paid for those sales that you made in the previous month. So that's when you get the money back from the beginning. It's just how it is. All right, next question from William Polly. What are some of the best marketing strategies? So it depends on how you're talking about publishing or in general. Business in general. Let's answer both. Let's answer both. So for publishing, there's two big ones. I think the big one is AMS ads. Also known as AA ads now. And so we've been like super massive. AM ads, absolutely massive. Because AA ads, we've been pretty like, we haven't been focusing that much on it. We've been saying that for a while. But right now I'm taking it super seriously because we're actually in the process of creating Audiobook Income Academy 2.0. It's just, it's a remake of the first one. Remake, this is not a remake. It's a fucking way better like, remake sound makes it technically a remake. Dumbs it down. In terms of like everyone in 1.0 upgrades to 2.0 for free. So it's not like we're just charging people over again. It's just making the product 10 times better. And oh my God, I won't sit here forever and talk about how. Let's play the intro video. Boom, look at that. That shit is so official. That's just the branding aspect. So that doesn't do with the information. But the branding is great. You guys will learn much more. But what the reason why I'm saying this is because I'm taking the time to become an AA ads, I don't know about expert. To learn a lot about it. So we can present it in the course. As best as we can. Talk a lot about it. Cause it's a massive part of marketing. Best marketing strategy for publishing. And then the second on the one is SEO. And just marketing your books listing. Now that could be a whole lot of discussion. But it's really, yeah, AA ads and SEO. And then best marketing strategies in general. Similar advertising. Now paid ads, Facebook ads, things like that. Other marketing things. It comes down to SEO. My answer is this. I think YouTube is the best marketing strategy. Oh yeah. YouTube, because it's free. That's where we get all of our attention. Customers content is what we want to call it. All from YouTube. YouTube is amazing. And it works like any business in the world, basically. It's just a very broad question, but that answers it briefly. Next question from C-Dog. Wanting to move to Bali later this year. Fucking epic. We leave on June 13th. I met up with C-Dog for a good night of pool. Yes. In Sydney. We played three games. I think I won two. Correct me if I'm wrong? Yeah, in Sydney. In Sydney. His name's Sid. Yes, kiss that. If it's not too much of a hassle, can you create a mini document on Excel or something of your expenses for the typical week slash month food, rent, drinks, and things to be honest? To be honest, I can't create a document, but we'll talk about it right now. We'll gladly talk about it. So expenses here are very, very, very low compared to 99% of the rest of the world. Cause this is a third world country. So cost of living is really, really low. Okay? So that's how we're able to live in this, literally a villa mansion. Nowhere else in the world other than Southeast Asia could we afford it. But we pay quite a lot. Compared to what it is, we pay very little. The rent on this villa is $3,300 a month. It's $3,500. $3,500? The price, or the strength of the US dollar has gone down. It's now $3,500. Okay. And then electricity every month is super expensive. So $4,000 a month. But like in America this place will cost $15,000 a month. And then food is super cheap. There's a big range. There's Western food here, and then local food. Local food is the cheapest shit you'll ever see. I spent about, it's insane. 700 bucks a month on food, I think. Yeah, cause we eat good, we eat good. We spend a lot of food, stuff like that. So the Western food here, what I spend the most on is living in food. Those are two things that I want to have much on. Everything else I don't really need. But here, local food, you can eat a full meal. It's for like anywhere between $1 and $3. And then entertainment, we don't really spend much on entertainment. 200 bucks. So all in all monthly expenses each is like $2,000. It's like $3,000, bro. That's high, holy shit, that's high. But luckily. But you can live for, definitely under $1,000. Oh, easily. You can do $800 and live okay. I'm not saying you're balling out, but $800 would be good. So your girlfriend's rent, she has another room, is $100 a month, according to perspective. Yeah, okay. Now it's a room in a house, but yeah. It really cheap here is the answer. You'll save money just by moving here. Then see dog, next question. A quick overview of your visa for Bali, yes. So we're on the visa on arrival visa, which as the name shows, you get it when you arrive in Bali. So you land, then you get the visa, everyone gets it, which is 30 days, then you can stand it for 60 days. Visa on arrival, 60 days. And we leave the country every 60 days. Yeah, you have to fly out and come back. All right, next question from LADT. Hi, how do you write audiobooks yourself? Can you please describe the entire process? One of our most recent videos was how do you write books yourself for free? Or if you have no money, how do you write books? And you're asking as if there's some secret process. There's no secret process. It's open up a Word document and start writing. That's what it is. Next question from Carlos Guerrero. Carlos Guerrero, he left a few questions. He's the first one. Hey guys. Hey guys. Sorry if I'm making too many questions, but I really want to make this work. In one of your videos, he spoke with Suredge, legend, about building a personal brand. So my question is, how can a complete beginner start to build a personal brand with zero experience about it? So there's already confusion because we did not talk about personal brand. A personal brand is a brand about yourself. This was a book brand. And if you have some videos on YouTube channel that you can recommend, let's just start making our personal brand from zero. Guys, thanks a lot for you. So are you asking about the Suredge brand or a personal brand? They're completely different. So we'll answer a personal brand. So Suredge has a publishing brand. He's done through the personal brand. Watch Suredge's video about that. And then, again, that's a very in-depth topic. But a personal brand, a personal brand is a brand about yourself, you, your face, your name, your hands, is to put yourself out there and make videos. It's social media. Personal brand is all social media. That's what it is. Sorry for the bad answer, it's a great answer. It gets started on social media. Like the thing is, people ask questions, expecting secrets. We tell them the real answers. A lot of the times it's like, you just have to get started. And then you're doing your- Okay, how do you get started? Make your first YouTube video. That's the actual step I'm telling you to do. To do a personal brand, yeah. But what do I do? Make an introduction video talking about yourself and what you do and what you want to accomplish. Will it get a lot of views? No, that's okay, that's the start. Then you're gonna come from on camera. Next question from Zate Geist. How many inches of passive income does it take to truly satisfy a woman? So you've talked about that for a long time. That depends on the woman is the answer. So, five inches of passive income is great. I think five inches of passive income will get it done. Will get it done for 99% of kids. Ideal is 12 to 16 in terms of passive income, is what I think. Yeah. But yeah, it depends on the woman. Next question from 360TechGad. Hi guys, you always talk about VA and it's part of your process, but I have a lot of questions. Like where to find them, what to ask them, how much they cost, et cetera. I'm making my own promotion without the VA. It's hard, but I really don't know what exactly asked them. I hate these questions that have such background. So can you make a video just about the VA? I know that you already have a VA video, but it was not very important information to take. I know, what do you mean? Thanks, Robert. It was a great video. It was talking about a manager. But yeah, you have to be more specific with your questions. Cause talk about a VA, are you talking about gathering reviews? Are you talking about like a manager who runs your business? Like for gathering reviews, using a VA is a method that you can use, one that we've used in the past, but one that we don't recommend to people. And going forward, it's, especially with some things that have happened recently, we definitely not recommend it. There's better ways to build a long-term sustainable business. You just need to focus on abiding to the terms of service, whether that's Amazon or ACX. On Amazon, any sort of reviews, swapping things completely off limits, which is why we don't do it at all. I'm following the rules 100%. But on ACX, the rules are much more, what's it called? Lenient? Lenient. So if you want to follow the actual terms that are in there, you could get, cause like what is a friend and family? Codes are used for getting reviews and you're allowed to give them to friends or family. That's a whole different subject. And that's the best I can answer your question. Yeah. It's hard to answer these questions. Cause it's just like, they're a question that like telling me everything about publishing. But there's, yeah, we'll move on. Next question from Carlos Guerrero again. Hi guys. I just want to know, how can I get better at finding profitable keywords? We have multiple keyword research videos on our channel. Those are all great for learning how to find profitable keywords. But we will also be doing a new one very soon as well. Yes. We will be doing some new, how to publishing videos soon in the future because a lot has changed recently in how we publish. Those are going to be 10 times better. Oh, wait for those. Because most of the keywords that I find aren't profitable or have really hard competition and I don't know why. What am I doing wrong? Like, I don't know what you're doing wrong. I don't know what you're doing. If you watch the interview of Peer Luigi, he says that most keywords are profitable. You just have to nail like the publishing. It's not the keyword itself. Yeah. Oh, that's. So that's probably why. That's why you're saying that. No, you're saying there's no profitable keywords. Like, bro, there's that. So many profitable keywords. So that's not the problem. The problem is not the keywords. The problem is you probably make not good books. Bad books that, that title, bad cover, bad everything so that no one buys them. What can I do to get better at keyword research? In AIA 2.0, we have come up with like an incredible keyword research method. I won't name it now. We'll talk about it in the future. It's like super epic. I'm just saying. And I'm just really excited to share it with everyone what's the new course. Carlos Guerrero has two more questions. Is it possible to make like $5,000 per month only with Kindle and books without audiobooks? Yes. I made over $10,000 a month without any audiobooks before I even discovered audiobooks was a thing. And also anyone can make $10,000 with just traditional publishing with ebook and paperback. Like during, so saturation with audiobooks doesn't exist. Saturation with ebooks doesn't exist either. Like you can make tons of money with standard traditional publishing. But not by publishing shit. And without an email list or Facebook group or website, yes. Only with books published on Amazon. Yes. And the key is Amazon ads. AIA ads. And then a lot of really good books. All right, let me take it from here. Next question from Carlos again. Guys, do you have any video about how to run AMS ads or can you recommend some video or book? Not curses, not curses, because I don't have too much money. Oh, not courses. Oh, courses, okay. And I have bought the course of Ameka and of Michael Jack only two published books. Thanks. So I have one very basic video. I'm not proud of it. I don't think it's that good. So I'm not gonna recommend it to you. But we will be making one in the future about AIA ads. So do look forward to that. I'm actually excited to talk about it. We'll make a lot of Amazon advertising. And that'll be free. That'll be free as fuck. You don't have to buy a course. Then we, no holding back on any information. Next question from Kman22. What does your investment portfolio look like? How many strings of income do you have? Investment portfolio? I don't have any. Investment I invest in my business and ourselves. That's our investment portfolio, like for real. I'm serious. How many strings of income do you have? Okay, let's count them. Publishing? Course? Group coaching? Boosted program, Google coaching? Affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing. There's multiple different affiliate marketing ones. But they just all fall under affiliate marketing. And there's multiple publishing streams within the publishing. Most of them publishing businesses. Most of them streams in each business. I don't know. I'm missing something. What the hell am I missing? Oh, YouTube AdSense. YouTube AdSense. I still have it merged by Amazon as well. And if you like publish, drive and stuff, we paid you like 700 bucks a month. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's nice. Draft to digital just paid me $720 the other day. I haven't touched in over a year. Over a year. Yeah. Solid, I guess. Next question from Andy Varnes. I'm currently playing college basketball so it takes up so much time along with school. I bet, yeah. I'm sick though. Yeah. I'm getting my first book written right now but if I wanted to eventually do this full time, how many hours a day would I need to put in? To really like a full time job. I like you can put in as many as you'd like but how much you put into selling will have a very strong correlation with how much you get out of it. So I'm in money. I think at least five hours a day. Yeah. Because even if you don't have money to invest you can write your own books. Yeah. For example, so we got two questions left. Five hours a day, like it's hard work. It's not easy. It's not like entrepreneurship is easy. That's why people choose to do it. The harder, it's without a doubt. Without a doubt. It's because the reward is just super, super epic. Yeah. It's not, you're stuck in a cubicle. Yeah. It's you, but not. And probably waking up whenever you want, doing whatever you want at any time. 99% of people are not made out of it. That's why I do this. 99% of people are not made out of it though. Yeah. And we're gonna be trying. I'm leaving for Australia in like six hours. If I had a job I couldn't do that. So that's why, five hours a day. Okay. Thomas Reid, did you use Google Docs first to write your books or a different program? Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word, it doesn't matter. Word, pages, Google Docs, it doesn't matter. You just need to get to writing. You can even hand write it. You're just putting the words on a page doesn't matter where you put it. Yeah. Microsoft Word is the easiest in my opinion. Final question from Jet Parker Holland. Good name. That's a good name. Does the style of narration affect the success of an audio book? Yes. Style of narration and quality of narration is probably different, but style of narration will still affect it. Yes, because I feel like most people won't want to listen to a really heavy Irish accent. It's kind of a thing. If so, which style of narration do you think is best? It depends what you mean by style. What does style mean? Accent. Does it mean flow? Is it fiction? Is it fiction, non-fiction? High and low pitches. Does it mean pitches like this? I just don't. A charismatic narration. One with emotion is what I would say. Yeah. One that's not monotone, like welcome to this book. Let's change to like, does the quality of narration affect success or does the quality of narration affect the success of an audio book? Massively. Massively. It's so, everything is overlooked by most people when it comes to creating a high quality audio book. And that rest of all the questions. So, that was nice. Yeah. Magic emoji, not magic, secret emoji of the day. Let's just, let's see. Let's see. The magnet, the magnet, the magnet emoji, the magnet emoji of the day. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed. Please suggest any other videos you'd like from us about any topic you'd like. Free training description, shit like that. Audio book Inca County's lit. Audio book Inca County 2.0 is gonna be insane. Stay tuned for that. See you guys in the next video.
