Well said! I’m a freelance graphic designer and these types of videos annoy the hell out of me! Somehow they seem to find a way to pop into my feed, even tho I’ve told KZbin not to recommend them to me! Thanks for speaking up ❤️🇦🇺

[@bookswithmariel]

Thank you so much 🌻! I get what you mean, it makes me cringe when I see the hyped up thumbnails, I try to avoid watching them as much as possible too (but I watched and rewatched more than a dozen to make the parody depicted in this video).

[@DannyOnDemand]

Thanks for the shoutout Mariel, glad to see you back posting again.

[@bookswithmariel]

My pleasure! Keep up the great content Danny :)

I agree "There's a sucker born every minute" PT Barnum for the most part I report them as a scam and move on. Yours is one of the few channels I regularly visit (in reality it is to creep on your KDP sales ranks and be jealous of your success :) ) The information here is not self serving but rather directed at doing the greater good for the KDP community. I applaud you for that!

[@bookswithmariel]

Thanks for the supportive comment Jim! Glad to see you're publishing again :)

[@plumstone4982]

I’m very picky about whose advice I follow on KZbin. You always produce well-thought out videos, Mariel.

[@bookswithmariel]

[@bookswithmariel]

You're doomed. Just kidding. It's up to you and your goals as a content creator, go with your gut!

[@AngieWy]

Thank you! I also listen to the 1st 3 KZbinr's you mentioned, so I guess I am on the right track, lol. 👏I agree with you 100%. You definitely need to pay attention to who you are listening to.

[@bookswithmariel]

Thanks Angie :) I highly recommend you check out the podcast I mention too, I promise you'll find it helpful!

[@MarlenaBooks]

I'm new to this, but I have been making my own brand since day one, and started selling on Amazon. I'm not sure you are accurate.

[@bookswithmariel]

​@@MarlenaBooks you are not sure I'm accurate about what? I'd love to clarify :)

[@bob51502001]

Aren't you doing a similar injustice here...

[@bookswithmariel]

What do you mean?
