Hello , my account was terminated because I put a different pseudonym on the cover than the author name. Amazon kdp sent me a message but since I went on vacation and didn't check the emails they terminated my account. Do you know if I can recover my Amazon kdp account? I sent 2 emails one to support and one to Jeff bezos email but they did not want to restore my account. Thanks

@SelfPublishingTitans Yes, I realized that I used an author name that I already used on another non-Amazon account.

Thanks a lot for your great content ♥️♥️ a lot of amazing informations for free really nobody doing that thanks a lot ♥️ just I have small question when you run automatic campaigns for your books and you found that for example loose match give you some sales and close match not give any sales or the opposite is true as well … etc what are you doing in that case? Because sometimes I have sales from complements and substitutes more than others so in that case you close what it’s not make sales or sometimes you still run it all because it’s help to get some organic sales or it’s help the book in general to rank more higher? Thanks ♥️♥️

This is very normal for that to happen majority of the time. Sometimes creating multiple auto campaigns can also be good with each one having different results.

Because you need to sign in if you want to be able to contact them via chat. Is there a way as I have issues with my OTP ( a one time password verification code) which I am not receiving into my phone. 😢 My email and password are fine but for some reasons I am faced with that verification thing which turned to be a nightmare after I changed the number where I should get it. But it's being sent or I don't know why I am not getting it. They when I try multiple time they say that they have sent me a lot of OTPs and I should try later.

Spot on with your tips :). The only thing I've been unsure on is about building an email list. It's against Amazon's TOS to include a link to an external email signup form. I think you can link to a form embedded on your own website though. And after seeing people have books blocked, I think you have to be super careful not to violate any TOS. Any thoughts on that? Also you can't create series' for low content books, but you can for medium content :)

Thanks mate. TOS talk about the listing not a page on a book. So that seems be to okay. Never had any issues.

It’s one of the rare videos, when you get specifics and not a lot of B.S. Who cares if someone sell a book 50 or 500 books if we don’t know the reasons for this (he/she could spend more on advertising that even didn’t brake even). Own research from reliable sources is most important. However, one has to learn how to do the research first, otherwise it’s just a waste of time. It’s not important that this video is long, because it has a good deal of important information. 👍
