GUIDE ON HOW TO GET PAID ON AMAZON KDP IN NIGERIA 2025 

If you sell a book, have a verified Amazon Kindle Direct Payment (KDP) account, and have a bank that Amazon can pay into, you can make money on Amazon KDP. As a Nigerian self-publisher on Amazon KDP, you will discover the additional criteria as you continue on, which include authenticating your KDP account and opening a bank account that can accept direct deposits from Amazon.

In order to earn royalties from Amazon, you must have a top-tier country local account, like as a US or UK bank account. To clarify, your local Naira bank account cannot receive royalty payments. The easy way to obtain a US or UK bank account to collect your royalties from Amazon is through Payoneer. On the other side, filling your tax identity is required in order to verify your KDP account because Amazon would not transfer royalties without it.

The Amazon KDP royalties that are available to publishers fall into two categories. These are the 35 percent and 70 percent royalty programs, respectively. Choosing the 70% royalty bundle (available in the majority of English-speaking markets) will increase your Amazon KDP earning potential. Your books must be priced between $2.99 and $9.99 and have secure copyright protection in order to be eligible for the 70% royalty package. Plagiarism carries a hefty penalty.

The 70 percent royalty plan pays you up to 70% of the price of each ebook you sell (or 60% if it is a paperback), every 60 days following the book sale. That is to say, if you sell something on January 1st, you will receive payment from Amazon 60 days after the transaction. Your income will be reduced by the delivery fee for paperback orders; if you live in the US, the delivery fee for ebooks is $0.15 per megabyte. Your royalties would be reduced by the least $0.85 required to print a paperback copy of your book on Amazon.
