Yes, unfortunately, the whole "make money online" world is really negative about everything. Even when they have never done something, it's assumed to be a scam. I'm not related to the Twins but I did meet them once in Hawaii. Just a long term student is the only connection. I owe them a lot of gratitude because publishing has changed my life.

Do you need to join the AI program in order to self publish on Amazon? Or can you use any ai tool to do this?
@TrevorSomerville
@TrevorSomerville 11 күн бұрын
No, you can publish on Amazon without the course. And to get access to their AI tool you need to join AIA, but you can use things like Chat GPT to accomplish this it will just need a lot of editing and inputs. I always tell people consider the course like an affordable education vs trying to figure it all our yourself will likely cost you more as it did for me.

Thank you for this video! I had my account terminated a couple of days ago for the "multiple accounts" reason. I don't have multiple accounts but earlier that day I had changed my tax info where I also changed my citizenship from Russian to Israeli (as I've acquired the latter one earlier this year). I suppose that raised some red flags with their system and launched some termination auto-sequence. At first I only got standardized responses. After 3 letters of back and forth I asked to be connected to a senior staff member to resolve the issue. At the same time I wrote to jeff.. and a.jassy... explaining the whole thing. After that I was contacted by an person from Executive customer relations - I don't know if it was a result of letters to jeff and a.jassy or the first one. They told me that they''ll investigate the matter. Now it's been 2 days, however it was a weekend, so I haven't written any new letters. Now it's a business day, so I'll inquire again (if I could be of assistance to expedite the resolution). I didn't know the attorney was an option for me as non-US citizen but thanks to you I know better now :) It's would be very sad if I loose this account. I worked on it for 3+ years, made 200k+ in royalties, the books have very good standing for the most part, and in case of one pen name I invested a lot of effort outside Amazon to get on the map for the customers (a coloring book brand). And it's the main source of income for my family.

I want to alert fellow KDP authors who might be experiencing similar issues. My account was terminated and my books delisted, leading to severe financial and emotional distress. Here are the potential charges and examples from my case: Fraud (Felony): Misconduct with withholding royalties. Example: Despite book sales, KDP terminated my account and withheld royalties, creating financial uncertainty. Harassment: Actions leading to emotional and financial distress. Example: Sudden termination without clear communication caused undue stress and harmed my livelihood. Economic Sabotage (Felony): Deliberate actions harming financial stability. Example: Removing all my books and blocking future earnings, drastically affecting my income. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: Severe mental anguish from actions. Example: The lack of communication and arbitrary enforcement of guidelines severely impacted my mental health. Tampering with Organic Algorithm (Wire Fraud): Deceptive practices to interfere with market operations. Example: Manipulating the organic algorithm to unfairly disadvantage my listings, leading to loss of visibility and sales. Theft of Royalties: Misappropriation of funds from sales. Example: Withheld royalties despite ongoing sales, potentially amounting to theft. Whistleblower Retaliation: Punishing those reporting illegal activities. Example: Threats of account termination if I continued to contest the decision, potentially silencing legitimate grievances. Obstruction of Justice: Ignoring valid grievances and communications. Example: Refusal to address my concerns or provide detailed explanations, denying due process. Censorship: Private entity censorship involving illegal activities. Example: Delisting my books for non-political content, potentially due to bias, impacting my freedom of expression. Deceptive Business Practices and Breach of Contract: Delisting books after accepting advertising payments. Example: Paid for advertising on Amazon, only to have my books delisted, leading to financial loss. Entrapment: Creating an environment where guideline violations are easy. Example: Ambiguous guidelines and lack of support, making it easy to unintentionally violate rules, resulting in termination and withheld royalties. I urge you to report your case to the FBI, FTC, and BBB. It's crucial to hold KDP accountable for their actions.

Thank you for your video, it's nice to know that you're not alone in it and it can be solved. My account was terminated a few days ago, without notice, because of the misleading category. Absolute shock! Replying to their emails and explaining the situation doesn't make any sense, feels like they aren't reading anything, they just replying with identical phrases again and again "Due to Content Guideline violations relating to your account, we are removing all of the titles you have uploaded through this account from sale on Amazon and we will not be reinstating your account". I have a massive account with almost 200 coloring books and it has been suspended a few times before because of the wrong categories or keywords. All mistakes that I had then I corrected straight away but I didn't think that you could be terminated. I believe that bot terminates you after 3 or 5 suspensions and it doesn't really care how massive is your account. Anyway, will be trying to get it back and will keep it updated if it works. 💪💪💪

Hi Trevor, thanks so much for the informative videos you've put out regarding your experience. My Wife and I opened an Amazon store earlier this year and I'm signing up through your link later today. We're mid-life adults who want to quit the 9-5s and live off Digital Publishing and our Amazon store. I completely understand that results vary due to several factors, but realistically, what amount of books did you publish in your first year and (if you don't mind) what were your earnings after that first year? Also, what is the average cost to publish and list a book (hard-bound, digital, audible or soft-back) for sale? I'm just trying to project out the possibilities as well as what kind of time, effort and money it will take to become successful like you and others. Thank you in advance. - Matthew

Hey Matthew. I'm glad they have been helpful and if you guys truly want to quit your 9-5 and live off publishing you will accomplish it with this course. I'm currently looking out the window of a cruise ship in Alaska. Anywhere with an internet connection is an option. In the first year I struggled because I had no guidance or course. Then I found the Mikkelsen Twins and hit 10k/month in my first year, and this was around 20-30 books with 5 or so (done the AIA way) that brought in 80 percent of royalties. Many of my books were low content until I joined AIA then started doing 30k books and things took off. You can publish almost for free with AI now but I recommend spending a bit on a cover designer even if it's off Fiverr. I started with no money but you could spend $20 or $500 producing a book, so it's hard for me to answer. However I've made over a million in royalties and have never had a book lose money. I hope this helps and be sure to email me when you sign up with my link and ill get your bonuses sent out today.

I recently did the AIA 7DPC right after I became interested in digital publishing. It was eye opening. I did the VIP upgrade which was a good move.. The full program looks good. I agree with you that it is a strong opportunity for success. I opted against it for now, for me, but haven't ruled it out for the future. Your gifts look and sound wonderful. I'm a bit envious. 😊 That is so generous of you. I'm a firm believer in sharing information. So many people are concerned about competition but it is so important for bringing out the best in us.
