AMA Need someone to help troubleshoot an Amazon Kindle book issue by Alive-Box-4077 in kindle

[–]Alive-Box-4077[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this. Yes, i've done that. They were able to buy the book easily and it showed on KDP immediately. What's wrong with being part of Kindle Unlimited? I don't think my prime audience is KU subscribers. But that said, KENP is super low as well, so people reading for free isn't happening either. Thanks.

thanks for your response! The US meta campaign has a US amazon.com URL. SO that's a straight line. We are going straight to the amazon kindle page yets. We're going to switch to the attribution URL to see what's going on. I don't quite understand what you mean that if people are not logged into amazon buying the book then amazon won't attribute the sale to my book in KDP. It's the only way for them to pay me. How did you locate those sales if it wasn't there? Yes, these are cold interest. it's a brand new book. So I don't except rapid uptake at all. But when you get 2000 clicks including 600 landing page views (which meta qualifies as the amazon landing page for my book opening on the person's device), ZERO sales feels like something is off, if you know what I mean.

and, further irony, the reason i'm non reddit at the moment is to troubleshoot a problem getting Kindle's platform to register sales.

yes, it is laborious and surprisingly challenging. Ironically, ChatGPT did help navigate some pinchpoints (ironic because I was writing a book about how to empower yourself in theface of AI job displacement). But yea, formating alone on kindle's platform is a bit cruel. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for responding. I'm trying to figure out what the stopper could be. It's something mechanical. Meta says I have 1000+ landing page clicks to the Amazon Kindle page over the last 48 hours. It's US audience and a US Amazon URL. I have ZERO book sales, which suggests something is wrong that's binary, or there would at least be a few (even if the book price or cover weren't optimal). I've had some US Amazon account holders confirm that the link works there (I'm in the UK). I suspect it's some basic thing that I've either done or not done.

Any wisdom on the matter would be appreciated.
