AK Elite is an application developed by Brad Callen that helps users to rank books on the Kindle Marketplace and to analyse the performance of said books.
What does the product offer?
According to Brad Callen, AK Elite is a Windows and Mac based piece of software that allows users to almost instantly start ranking books on Amazon’s Kindle Marketplace. This is achieved by looking at how other books have performed for a keyword and how they achieved this. AK Elite also comes with a number of analytical tools that help you to keep up to date on your book. There is also information on how to outsource the actual writing of your books. As a bonus, AK Elite comes with 6 different ebooks related to making money in the Kindle Marketplace niche.
How does the product work?
Earlier in the 2000’s Brad Callen had a measure of success in ranking pages on Google by analysing what made top ranked websites top ranked. By reverse engineering websites in this fashion, he claims that he was able to replicate their success. AK Elite actually applies this same logic to the Amazon Kindle Marketplace. A lot of the method behind AK Elite lies in the fact that the highest ranking books on the Kindle Marketplace have to show that they will sell. Because AK Elite helps to give you that initial push to get ranked for early sales, you stand more of a chance of getting ranked higher up.
What is the initial investment?
AK Elite sells for a flat rate of $147 however there are two different ways of paying. Brad Callen offers a one off fee of the full amount or alternatively you can opt to spread payments over 3 months. This equates to $49 per month for the period. Because it is sold through Clickbank, both options are covered by the usual 60 day money back guarantee.
What is the rate of return?
Brad Callen assumes that your books will have an average profit of $2.19 when he says that 5 books selling 10 times per day will earn you $3,285 per month. Of course this is a ball park figure and shouldn’t be taken as gospel. Realistically, as with most products for making money online, you will get out of AK Elite what you wish to put into it.
Conclusion
Breaking into the Kindle Marketplace can be a daunting task and whilst I don’t believe that AK Elite will make it a breeze, it should help ease you in a little. That having been said, there are some downsides to AK Elite. One of the big issues is the cost. Whilst spreading it over 3 months is definitely a more affordable option, it is still not exactly cheap. Especially when you consider that really, AK Elite is an advanced analytics tool. That having been said, if you have the money to invest there is definitely a lot on offer for aspiring Kindle writers. It is definitely worth stating though that AK Elite is only a piece of a much larger puzzle and if you aren’t already experienced with the marketplace, you are unlikely to get a lot from AK Elite.
