in fact, it's good news that Amazon has finally started fighting with spam and unfair practices. Maybe it will make some people read the terms and conditions carefully.. thanks Paul for the video and all the best for the New Year :)
First 3 books just went live!!! I have 11 waiting review right now. I started last week! These are all using different interiors and covers, so it took a little longer. Once I see which niche is doing well, i'm going to focus on making lots of covers with the same interior for that niche. Super excited. Thanks so much Paul and Rory! PS. Creative Fabrica is amazing. Using it to start my merch by amazon and t-shirt POD business as well! Goal for 2021 is to get to 200/month in passive income. Let's see!
Thank you for your honesty and for explaining in depth the importance of being honest when selling on Amazon KDP. This is very important for anyone starting up their online business
Hey Paul, I have just started my KDP for 1 month and I followed mostly all of your instruction. You are the best in KDP, and maybe much more in other business as well. I really am your fanclub. Hope you keep doing what you are doing now and thank you for everything you give us. My english is my second language, if there are any mistakes I'm sorry. P.S. Heard from one of your video that you once have been a doctor. I am medical student as well and I will graduate in the nezt 4 months.
I am curious, that if you purchase something from creative Fabrica and use it in a item you publish do you have to acknowledge that item you purchased? I have my account suspended as well, but the email didn't advise of the items just that content and/or activities are in violation of there T&Cs. I don't believe this is the issue, but was hoping for some input. Yesterday I did upload 3 journals for the same niche, but I would think that is allowed as well. Any input would be helpful.
I had an email to reveiw one of my books to change the subtitle because there is a repetitve word, I changed it but does that cuase any problems to my account? I'm still learning, and thank a lot for your videos!
Great and sensible tips Paul! I've stopped doing scaled cover designs and find the unique higher effort books sell much better. Regarding getting reviews the black hat way, I have a competing book in one of my niche getting dozens of reviews per week. I'm convinced they're doing something shady. It's so tempting to follow suit but as you said, our accounts are too valuable!
If I want to unpublish and reuse the cover but change the author so it doesn’t use keywords is that possible? Or doi have to start from scratch and not use that cover?
So I write a book, tell my friends and family about the book I wrote, they go out and make legitimate purchases of the book and leave real reviews of it, and I’m at threat of a ban? I fail to see how that could be considered gaming the system. They bought a product with their real money and reviewed it. In that example all the seller/author has done is word of mouth marketing, surely?
@@paulmarles Thanks for your reply though. But why shouldn't we use keywords?? That's the part I don't really understand. Sorry if I'm bugging you. But I'm quite new to KDP and trying to learn as much as I can
If someone have a chosen a title or subtitle for his book as a (valentine pink lined Notebook), won't be able to produce a Notebook title with the same name or subtitle or even a keyword with the same name? Or the name of (valantine pink lined notebook) is considered to be descriptive more than a copyright title and any one is eligible to choose that book title ? Thanks in advance.
thank you so much for your efforts i learned a lot of things from you Does mentioning keywords already mentioned in the title and subtitle causes a kdp account suspension ? because i published 5 books 10 days ago and they still in "publishing"
It is also advised to check the metadata guidelines. Apparently I got an email about the keyword used in the title that is similar with another author keyword. I didn't respond in time and I got my book blocked.
question: I didn't realize you couldn't use a keyword for my author name and I used "Boots and Saddles Press" I am producing journals and notebooks, will I be able to change my author name after it has been reviewed? This is my first time doing anything like this.
Hi Paul, thank you very much for all the contend. I just realized that I made a mistake. I uploaded several hundreds of books with keywords in their author names 6 months ago. Now I want to unpublish and reupload them. The standard manual unpublishing process is quite time consuming with this amount of books if I do it one by one. Do you know a function or a tool where I can unpublish many book at the same time?
@Algerian Eagle | They're are fine until you go to edit the description or search words. When the book goes for review, the keywords in the pen name blocks the republishing. You have to unpublish and start again. So to answer your question Dont edit any of your current keyword pen name creations Leave them be!
Why not make new covers for new interiors? It seems a bit of a joke trying to use covers or interiors multiple times. These books are very little work in the first place.
Question: I selected a pen name for my first book. Just found out that the pen name is the name of a character in another person's book on KDP. I have not published the book yet. Should I change my pen name?
Hey Paul Thank you so much for this video. I found out in my old books, that i used the word coloring in the name of the author, for example: coloring zig , is it considered a keyword?
So if your family buys your book and reviews it, you can get your account banned? I mean I can see this if all your fam and friends do it. But if you tell your sister or something that you’ve published a book, and she buys it and reviews it, it seems excessive to ban your account!
Probably ok with that. But some publishers take it to the extreme. My account provides a big proportion of my monthly income and livelihood. I just wouldn't risk it at all for the sake of the odd sale.
Can you use an author name for example 'Jane Doe Media'? this isn't the real name but it is a name that is unique and doesn't have any authors name or anything like that. Or does it need to be a regular name?
Hi, I'm a newbie and appreciate your content SO MUCH. Thank you so much for all the information. Question: In the acknowledgements, and if my daughter lets me use her art; should I acknowledge her by name only, or may I include her Etsy shop name? I want to help her out, but also do not want to risk my account.
for quality issues remember to export with a high dpi. I usually work with a really small canvas and ignore actual sizes while making pictures so there's little load on the cpu/gpu and tools work faster. Then Ill rasterize any vectors and export the picture at a ridiculously big size and dpi usually 800 to 1200 dpi. I use affinity photo and actually change the document size in a pull down menu but most programs you can get this done in export options when saving out. Then on a new blank document of the actually book size and dpi you want drag and drop or insert the large dpi file as a layer and size it to the page, flatten and export. By dragging in higher resolution pictures then you need and shrinking them to size on the page will maintain good lines when it's printed.
hello sir, they blocked the first book of mine because it was copyrighted, they shut down my account but after i emailed them they gave me back my account but now i should delete it. the book is blocked and i dont know from where to delete it, thank you 🙏🏻
Could anybody tell me please why I didn't get a single sale from december 24th till now? Is there any problem with Amazon shipping or just because 95% of my books are gift related and customers stopped buying gifts?
The dashboard doesn’t show sales but when Amazon sends the book out for delivery. And Amazon does my send out deliveries on those days because it’s Christmas.
@@paulmarles There is a marketer called Bart Henin who teaches about adding a page inside the front of your books with a bit of a personal touch and then giving a link (QR Code) and a request for a review. And again at the back. Reckons it boosts reviews pretty well. The downside is you have to reload the interior because you need the book published first to get the link. Can’t hurt to try. 😏
i used to produce around 970 books per week, i can promise you they're very high quality as i have designers working with me, amazon flagged my account and now book processing times take around 7 days instead of 3 days! sucks but it's okay, at least i still have my account
Great video Paul - Many Thanks again for great content like this. You mentioned multiple author names... I thought you could only have a maximum of 3?..
I have two book right now (coloring books) and my family has been buying some, you know, to help out. Im worried about having them review and my account terminated because of that. Should I tell them not to leave a review?? 🥺🥺
Thank you for your insight, one of them already put a review, the others who bought the book (two more) have not and I told them not to, until more sales come in at least. I really appreciate your response
Very very wonderful videos. Thank you for watching all your videos, but you can translate the rest of the videos into Arabic so that I can listen to them, please. May God bless you.
Haha that might be a tall order! But you should be able to get subtitles in Arabic and if you like, download a transcript to read. I have no idea how good the translation engine is but it's better than nothing.
@@paulmarles Thanks for answering. If I already do that what more can I do? I unpublished the books but they are still online but no selling, what more I can do? Do I need to write Amazon? but they don't write to me about it...and I don't want to put in danger my account.
Hey Paul, I watched these 2 videos again and have a question. Is it possible to use KDP almost as a manual drop shipper so to say? Can I create my own website with the books, then when I get orders I go to the KDP and order them myself and send them to customer's address? I tried to look it up and haven't found anything against it yet. Not so much for everything, but let's say I have a few that fit a certain niche and know people will want them, but know they won't find them on Amazon - so they can basically buy them from me? Just trying to brainstorm this, but wanted to ask if it is against the rules....don't want to be banned or break rules. Thanks
I don’t see why that wouldn’t be possible. Wouldn’t it be easier to have a link on your website to the book on Amazon and they can buy directly from there? One issue I have heard about is the issue around Amazon Prime. If you are using Prime and sending out books as part of a business that may cause issues. Again, if people had Prime and they bought direct from Amazon via your website that would give them free postage.
Hi Paul. When I launch a book is it really harmful if 5-10 friends or family from the same city give good reviews of it naturally? I wouldn’t want my account terminated. Thanks
Hello, I'm not getting any sales since I began in October. I'm trying to follow your advice but nothing seems to work for me. I don't know what to do. Can you check the quality of my work? It could really help and push me in the right direction. I'm really concerned. I'm an illustrator and graphic designer and I create original covers and illustrations. But I can't make any money out of my skills. I need help.
I was watching all your videos to start on KDP, but it seems like too much of a pain in the a*s after all. I won't risk my linked MBA account to start a KDP one. A shame. :(
So "normal" notebooks (lined, square grid, dot grid) should be OK with a variety of covers as long as I keep it under 1000 books a week ;-). Can't imagine how bad the quality would be. I struggle to get two pretty covers a day done.
KDP used to alert to spelling errors in the upload review. I haven't seen a flag for one in some time but maybe there were not any! But it was (is?) very useful. There is absolutely no excuse for inaccurate spelling or poor grammar. It reflects badly on Amazon and tbh on all Amazon publishers. Personally I won't mind if they crack down on poor cover design and typography too.Go on a night class or an online course and learn how to do it. If you can't, hire a Fiverr to do it for you. Quality is everything in publishing. As for the name thing, yes. Become a real publisher. Build a brand. Protect it. My own impression is that there are far too many people just trying to make a fast buck with minimal effort. Publishing is a PROFESSION. People should be professional about it.
My account has been suspected. There is a lot of royalty in the account. What should I do now? Will I get money? Need very urgent this ans brother plzzzzz🙏🙏🙏
As far as I know, and I have it enabled, UA-cam creates automatic captions. As I understand it, it can take a little time for them to appear as UA-cam has to process the video.
@@paulmarles - In addition to contracting for freelancers to write fake reviews, I think they are also contracting out the design on Fiverr and other freelancer sites. Essentially, they are having no content books ghost written. The only thing the "author" does is log-on and upload.

Yes, just do what you’ve been doing. Long term profits are better than short term profits.
Never follow a shyster. He'll get caught out.
If I want to unpublish and reuse the cover but change the author so it doesn’t use keywords is that possible? Or doi have to start from scratch and not use that cover?
You can use the cover but you would have to re-list as a new book.
So I write a book, tell my friends and family about the book I wrote, they go out and make legitimate purchases of the book and leave real reviews of it, and I’m at threat of a ban? I fail to see how that could be considered gaming the system. They bought a product with their real money and reviewed it.

I think yes, that would be considered a keyword.
How do we find out if a book has an author name?
I don't understand your question.
Author name is usually on the cover.
Uploading 1,000 books a week is insane, if it's even possible!
Exactly.
I wish i could publish more
I try to do one a week but even that, I think, is a lot. Sometimes it's one a month for a bit.
From where we can get books?
Ha ha I got two books loaded yesterday, waiting, waiting for each to upload I did laundry and mopped the floor! 1000 isn't possible without cheating.

One issue I have heard about is the issue around Amazon Prime. If you are using Prime and sending out books as part of a business that may cause issues. Again, if people had Prime and they bought direct from Amazon via your website that would give them free postage.
@@paulmarles Thanks :)
Hi Paul. When I launch a book is it really harmful if 5-10 friends or family from the same city give good reviews of it naturally? I wouldn’t want my account terminated. Thanks
It doesn’t look natural so could potentially cause an issue.
I created 8 no-content books and have them on the publishing process. Hoping to crack a thousand in a year.
Go for it!
Hello, I'm not getting any sales since I began in October. I'm trying to follow your advice but nothing seems to work for me. I don't know what to do. Can you check the quality of my work? It could really help and push me in the right direction. I'm really concerned. I'm an illustrator and graphic designer and I create original covers and illustrations. But I can't make any money out of my skills. I need help.
I do book reviews on this channel. If you want me to do that then DM me on Instagram with the ASIN number of one book.
I was watching all your videos to start on KDP, but it seems like too much of a pain in the a*s after all. I won't risk my linked MBA account to start a KDP one. A shame. :(
MBA is way more strict.
What's a linked MBA account? Sorry if I'm asking something that's obvious but I'm lost 😊

So "normal" notebooks (lined, square grid, dot grid) should be OK with a variety of covers as long as I keep it under 1000 books a week ;-). Can't imagine how bad the quality would be. I struggle to get two pretty covers a day done.
KDP used to alert to spelling errors in the upload review. I haven't seen a flag for one in some time but maybe there were not any! But it was (is?) very useful. There is absolutely no excuse for inaccurate spelling or poor grammar. It reflects badly on Amazon and tbh on all Amazon publishers. Personally I won't mind if they crack down on poor cover design and typography too.Go on a night class or an online course and learn how to do it. If you can't, hire a Fiverr to do it for you. Quality is everything in publishing.
As for the name thing, yes. Become a real publisher. Build a brand. Protect it. My own impression is that there are far too many people just trying to make a fast buck with minimal effort. Publishing is a PROFESSION. People should be professional about it.
I agree. I suspect the spelling check is only a manual one as I still see many books with these types of errors.
My account has been suspected. There is a lot of royalty in the account. What should I do now? Will I get money?
Need very urgent this ans brother plzzzzz🙏🙏🙏
Thank You 💐 bravooo 👍🌻
You’re welcome. 👍
This is helpful. Thank you.
You’re welcome.
i've just started uploading on KDP , is 10 books a day good or should i upload more ?
Excessive
That’s ok but I would concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
How do you manage to upload 100 plus books a day. You have to create so many covers. That sounds exhausting.
Good grief! How the hell does anyone manage to upload 1000 books a week?!!!!
Some do! 🤦♂️
They can use book cover tool and do it
Everyone wants to get rich quick. But if your slow and steady like a turtle, you come out the winner 🐢
Definitely!
Interesting information
Thank you 🙏
Is it possible upload 1 book a day for everyday?
Yes.
Can you help those handicapped by adding captions to your videos???? I am missing those three tips.
As far as I know, and I have it enabled, UA-cam creates automatic captions. As I understand it, it can take a little time for them to appear as UA-cam has to process the video.
@@paulmarles ok thanks! I appreciate the feedback!!
I think people don't use common sense anymore , sad .
True.
People think they can get away with anything.
I can make 20 cover a day and upload all those 2nd day and continue niche research for 3rd day.
And thats my pattern.
It's thats okay??
Sounds fine.
I dont understand how an author publishes multiple books a day. It takes me months to write and publish one book.
The people publishing multiple books a day are publishing no content and low content books like journals, planners, log books, puzzle books etc.
@@paulmarles - In addition to contracting for freelancers to write fake reviews, I think they are also contracting out the design on Fiverr and other freelancer sites. Essentially, they are having no content books ghost written. The only thing the "author" does is log-on and upload.
1000 a week? i’m lucky if i can 1 per day
