Community► www.kdpcommuni... Link► www.kdpcommuni... In todays video I share a HUGE KDP update that you need to know if you publish through Amazon KDP.
Looks like they are cracking down on people that get banned and open another account with another person's identity information, people using Payoneer and such. People using ways to avoid extra taxes and people using ways to publish from countries that have banks that KDP does not accept, will be getting this. A lot of people will be flooding the Facebook groups and KDP author forum looking for help and desperate because their account has been suspended/terminated. Play by the rules or they will eventually get you.
Very unfortunate since you can play by the rules and still get terminated when the bots detects things not correctly. Oh well house rules I guess. At least some get their account back but after months and rankings lost and no apologies from amazon kdp for their mistake.
Thanks for your help regarding chat gpt and colour in books. I am an author and have written a historical romance novel and am half way through my second novel, which is a sci fi romance novel. However, in the interim I need to generate a bit of money until I hopefully get an offer for my first novel, while writing my sci fi one. Do you think it will be a good idea to load both my novels, plus a color in book in one place for buyers to see amd hopefully, buy at least one, maybe two, of my works? Thanks for your interesting videos. ❤ I'm a South African.
I would personally keep both of those books seperate with different pen names as people who want a novel may be a little confused to why there is also a coloring book
Thank you for sharing this information
My pleasure
Excellent video, thanks

they always had occasional identity verification checks for some publishers
