The Truth about Amazon KDP - What are people doing wrong?

[@simonamacarie7013]

I like the way you explain things and your calm voice. This business is even harder if English is your second language...this is my case. But i hope to improve in each stage.

[@TheHomeBoss]

Thank you so much. English used to be my second language too, so I understand.

[@stephb17]

The way you deliver your content really inspires confidence imo Nuria - knowledgeable, you know your topic and empathetic. Thank you for another great video.

[@TheHomeBoss]

Thank you so much Steph!

[@StarRShines]

This is awesome advice. I quite enjoy making things special when it comes to low content and I hope it helps me 🙏🏾

[@TheHomeBoss]

I'm sure it will, I wish you every success!

[@DeAnnaG_KissingFrogsMedia]

That's the one thing I don't care for about KDP, is that they really aren't clear about what changes they make and then they implement it, THEN they announce it and immediately nail people before even giving people a chance to comply. I have half a dozen books sitting on the bookshelf waiting to be published, but I'm afraid to publish them. I keep checking and rechecking the guidelines and worrying that I missed some tiny step that is going to get me nixed.

[@TheHomeBoss]

I totally agree.

[@cweissy90]

Thank you- informative, and helpful advice, beautifully delivered. You make so much sense.. I won’t give up!

[@TheHomeBoss]

You got this! I nearly gave up so many times, and I'm so glad I didn't.

[@cweissy90]

@@TheHomeBoss Oh wow, thanks so much, it really is tough but I won't!

Really good points, so glad your video popped in my feed. I don't like being a copy cat, this is confirmation to be me and provide quality work. Thank you!

Thanks for bursting my bubble.I am broke and don't know what to do now

[@TheHomeBoss]

Not sure how it has burst your bubble, I think publishing on Amazon is a great way to earn an income. Which part of the video did you feel was discouraging?

[@SomjaiMeesuk-j5e]

This is great advice. Thank you.

[@TheHomeBoss]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Madam, I have recently ( one month & half) started publishing a good number of books on Amazon kdp. But surprisingly I have been able to sell 2 of my books (low content) without any advertisement or social media marketing. Should I continue like this?

[@michaelrush1390]

I have a full-time job and, after work, I just want to rest and so finding the time and energy to really give KDP a go given that work obligation can be challenging. Suggestions welcome. I guess it's a question of not wasting time doing too many non-productive activities and narrowing one's focus. Thank you. Looking forward to buying your book and branding course.

[@TheHomeBoss]

It's not easy when you have a full time job. However, just do what you can. It's amazing how little things over the days can add up to quite a few accomplishments. Focussing on what moves the needle is key. I learned that the hard way too. Just take small steps but often, and focus on one thing at a time. It helped me a lot to make a schedule/plan with things that I wanted to accomplish and then I just chipped away whenever I could. I wish you all the best on your publishing journey.

[@denisedeakins4828]

@michaelrush1390 I agree, it is hard when you work full time (as I do too) but people still manage to do it. We just have to leave ourselves enough time to work on our business regularly. Consistency usually pays off it seems :) Good luck!

Hello mam...I need your help.... Yesterday i run campaign for my books after setting campaign it shows " Your advertising account has been suspended due to suspicious activity We've suspended your account because of suspicious activity in United States" how to solve this...please help mam

[@TheHomeBoss]

Without knowing any details it's impossible for me to advise. Please contact Amazon for more information.

[@tany87]

@@TheHomeBoss thanks for your reply mam

[@TheHomeBoss]

@@tany87 You're welcome, I hope you can resolve this soon.

[@elenash1030]

Thank you very much for your information ❤Why does amazon Not allow to copy my book sales page for to paste it on social media?

[@TheHomeBoss]

I'm not sure I understand. You can post links to your books on Amazon on your social media.

[@Karfferro]

How long after creating social media for your author did you notice an increase in sales?

[@TheHomeBoss]

It took a few months. You won't get results from the start, it's really a matter of building your following. But if you spend 10 minutes a day even, this time in 6 months, you will see the difference pay off.

[@Faiqa-Abbas]

Hey there! I'm uploading journals on KDP and every single one is getting blocked. Can you help me, please!

[@TheHomeBoss]

Without knowing more about your books it's impossible to advise you. Please contact Amazon and find out why, they should send you an email with the reason. Also make sure you follow Amazon's guidelines to the letter.

[@Journey2Free]

Hi. After doing my first ad with Amazon, my KDP account was abruptly terminated over a year ago. I am still unclear about what happened and have had no luck getting someone to offer some insight from KDP. Do you have any tips on how to reinstate an account? A few of my books are still being sold on Amazon as well. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Any feedback would be great. Thank you!

[@TheHomeBoss]

The only way to get your account back is by contacting Amazon KDP. Without knowing any background information, it is impossible for me to advise. I recommend you contact them again and try and find out why you got terminated. Keep trying to speak to an actual person, there is a chat feature that you can hopefully access. Unfortunately, Amazon's emails are very cryptic and unclear at times. I really hope you can get this resolved. Best of luck!

[@Journey2Free]

@@TheHomeBoss Thank you!

[@tonyface2007]

Don't know when you were last told, you are really beautiful.

[@DanielOlala]

Hello. I listened very attentively to your advise and I must confess it's an eye opener. I would wish a review from you as an established author. I have an a USA elections 2024 themed Ebook (hard cover still under review) titled "What would Olivia Pope Do In Kamala Harris' Place?" It's rather time bound considering the elections are a month to come. Under the circumstances, what are the chances for selling after the elections?

[@TheHomeBoss]

That is a very difficult question to answer. Have you researched similar books that were launched before an election? That might be the best way to find out. Unfortunately this is the problem with topics that are trending, it means that in time there might not be a high demand. Best of luck, I hope it all works out well for you.

Hai good morning..you are very good youtuber. but one suggestion for pls..provide free inforamtion to subscribers..that will increase your subscribers and views..subscribers will think that ..she will provide only less information then asking paid amount..so like that..thanks

[@TheHomeBoss]

Thank you for your advice. I provide a lot of free information to help people achieve better results.

If you're interested in looking at my memoir and giving me your feedback, that would be great. Im not getting any sales on KDP and not sure why 😊

[@TheHomeBoss]

Memoirs are difficult to sell unless you're a well known or famous person. You could try and advertise. What did your research tell you before you published? Was there demand? There are lots of reasons why a book doesn't sell, but try marketing and promoting your book. I wish you all the best.
