These Are The WORST Amazon KDP Mistakes Beginners Make (Avoid at All Costs)

[@SeanDollwet]

Heads up - The video mentions the 7 day challenge is free but that promotion ended. I just filmed this video 2 months ago. For the past 2 months across 9 videos I warned people that the challenge will stop being free soon so get it while you can. Thanks for understanding.

[@marzenabarszcz1174]

Even if you recorded this video two months ago it would be fair to write in the comment: As of today: Write and Publish... is paid: so as not to mislead people. Gentle correction.

[@SeanDollwet]

@@marzenabarszcz1174 yeah that's why I have this pinned comment 👍

[@wakey1974]

funny that today is the first day the link actually worked to the challenge. I have commented several times that the link didn't work while it was free

[@SeanDollwet]

@@wakey1974 funny how the link worked this entire time and over 5000 people got it for free during the past 2 months

[@jimmyherbert]

A lot of people may have just found you for the first time in this video…like me. Feeling bait and switched.

Amazon’s marketplace is saturated, and standing out requires more than just having a great book. Effective marketing, including building a personal brand, running ads, and cultivating a following, is crucial for success today.

Honestly @sean dollwet ,you are a good teacher.I have come from your ither videos and I have learnt a lot.God bless you

[@SeanDollwet]

Thank you! Glad you're liking the videos

[@drsusanmills]

This is an awesome tutorial Sean. You're quite a selfless soul. Thanks a bunch!

[@OliveNjoroge-t6f]

@@drsusanmills am amazed at how selfless he is indeed

[@darrenpatenaude]

I agree on "How do you get reviews without sales"?

[@HustleAcademy-u1y]

I was surprised yesterday you didn't publish a video. Good job

[@SeanDollwet]

Haha you know the schedule. Yeah it’s a bit off now

[@HustleAcademy-u1y]

@@SeanDollwet No problem i am still pushing to make this business works for me.

[@martinjooste2291]

When I finished the 7 day book challenge, I published the e book, which was approved by KDP. Then I really battled with the soft book cover, especially the spine wording and I could not get it right. I even went to the KDP community for help. Then KDP terminated my account based on a number of accusations like I was doing excessive reading and book content violations, while they approved the ebook. I lodged my defenses explaining the problem with their cover creator. I had and even submitted my discussions with the KDP community as evidence. They still maintained their stance and my account is still suspended. What can I do?

[@TerryEvans-x5k]

Can I get the link for the book cover. I need this badly.

[@firebird5288]

Ok, I think I need to send you a link to my book.

[@joemallia7574]

Hey Sean, Excellent content as per usual. Since you mentioned audible, I have a question about audio books, if you don't live in one of the four countries that audible allows. If like me I live in Australia, how can you upload and sell in that space?

[@finessesims4780]

😊 that is great to know do you also do video on how to market adult coloring books 📚

[@SeanDollwet]

@@finessesims4780 sure I can make it 👌

[@benshalev878]

@@SeanDollwetwould love it too

[@hzrn3975]

Hi Sean. How did you deal with copyright issue for your ebooks?

[@SeanDollwet]

@@hzrn3975 i actually got a video on this coming out in few days

[@hzrn3975]

@SeanDollwet nice. Looking forward to it.

[@improvementshelf]

I would like to make the audiobook but cannot use ACX since I live outside US and I tried Findaway voices but is different than ACX because it does not automatically translate the audio into text. Do you have any recommendation?

[@SeanDollwet]

Find away voices but you need to get a narrator outside on upwork or somewhere

[@autumnc1804]

There is a grammatical error in the title of the book with the cat knight. “Children Book” needs to say “Children’s Book” I’d be curious to see if similar errors occur throughout the text? Is this someone who is ESL or just a mistake?

[@ZephyrusDex]

I published my book last year but not a single sale made by me. Book is "The Darkness Unbound" written by Sarthak Ashish

[@SeanDollwet]

Great job taking action. Hopefully these tips from the video help you with sales.

[@Debbiecity]

señor sean please is review really important when looking for a good nitch what i mean is that is it necessary the reviews must be less than hundred? even when the bsr is less than 80,000

[@pennyplaysgames919]

You keep saying they don't have enough reviews and get more reviews. How do you get just get more reviews?

[@thecanadian8719]

You buy fake reviews. Review swap sites like Pubby.

[@SeanDollwet]

Look up “sean dollwet reviews” on YT

[@catworld7576]

I don't think an individual can make big in KDP. You need a team to excel in KDP. In whatever niche you are. Effort and money required...

[@anniea.4141]

Hey Sean, Thanks for this and all your videos, they are really helpful and I love them. But can you do something about your video thumbnails? That picture of you where you put your hand on your temple with wide eyes is about overused now... It's 2025 now, you have longer hair, might be time to take some new pictures for your 2025 video thumbnails 😊

[@SeanDollwet]

Haha yeah I realized a lot of my thumbnails coming up is similar so I told my designer to stop overusing it for new ones

[@subhajitgorai6016]

I have publish my first book ' curse of hollow hill' and I got 32 sales right now, but yes I do not get royalty because my book in on sale of 100% off on amazone

[@SeanDollwet]

that's weird since amazon doesn't just 100% discount books permanently. Do you have it selling on another site for free? If so Amazon will see that and price match on amazon meaning they make it free

[@subhajitgorai6016]

@SeanDollwet no sir actually I have put my book on 5 day free book promotion so for that I say that my book in 100% free and I only publish my book on kdp

[@itlearner1175]

Thank you for the grate video, it seems that the course cost $97.00 USD right now.

[@totalrelaxationlofi]

Is it just me or Amazon has started printing colouring books instead of glued spine it is stapled

[@marzenabarszcz1174]

Write and Publish Your First Book in Just 7 Days IS NOT FREE. It costs $97. And you say it's free.......

[@SeanDollwet]

literally filmed this video 2 months ago

[@sigmavishwanath7783]

Yeah it’s not free

[@jan-oh3zb]

I know happened to me too. My goal was to do it the first of the year. Saving my money

[@samvaz4082]

It’s like people don’t hear the “at the time of this recording is free and I will be charging in the future”. Forgot about that?? 🤡

[@Freeball99]

@@SeanDollwet But you published this today telling people that it is free when it's not.
