You can find each book\u2019s ranking on its respective page listing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lower the rank, the more copies that book is selling in a month. A book ranked at #1 could sell about 1,500 copies a month. A book listed at more than 1,000,000 might not make even one sale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h4>\n            <strong>How much can you make selling used books on Amazon?<\/strong>    <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most seasoned Amazon sellers will tell you that you need to set the price of your books AT LEAST at $7 just to break even. To make a profit, think $10 at a minimum or $12 for extra cushion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the cheaper you set the price, the higher the Amazon fees will be.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            Sell used books    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling new books on Amazon is quite a tall order if you\u2019re a beginner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would have to source and purchase your inventory from wholesalers, distributors, or the publishers themselves. The only way for you to make money selling new books is by buying in bulk (think four or five figures worth of orders every month). If you want to manage bulk order, we recommend following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veeqo.com\/us\/inventory-management\/\" target=\"_blank\">best inventory management practices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to buy up books from self-published authors as they often have no connections with wholesalers. The big drawback here is that self-published books are usually a huge risk (<em>let\u2019s just say it: they can be pretty bad<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re just learning about how to sell books on Amazon, then we strongly recommend that you specialize in used books first.
