I have not tried mTurk because it is not available in my location last time I checked the requirement. I have also not tried FBA as it is also not available in my location. However, I have been with KDP and Amazon Associate for some time and have managed to make money using these two methods. When I say make money with KDP and Amazon Associate, I don't mean to say I have made a lot of money, what I am trying to say is I have sold a few copies of books I published with the KDP program and managed to sell some affiliate products every month. In order to become very successful with KDP, you either need to be a good writer or have the money to hire a good writer to ghostwrite for you. You also need to become a good marketer to drive sales. For Affiliate marketing with Amazon, you need to be a good digital marketer.
