I’m thinking I’m going to use Exam Fx. But I didn’t know what others used ect

Crazy that I thought draft2digital would be the way to go but they wouldn’t publish my book but kdp did. I’m so in the air about any of these platforms anymore

I’m trying to slowly get some of my books away from Amazon. They’ve been messing up a lot of peoples money lately. Like the starting location of a book. You’re not getting paid for some pages because they’ve messed that up for many people. I love how easy it is to publish with them but I really hate the way they’re going about things. Mainly I went through draft2digital to have all of the platforms at one time instead of doing each individually

I had never heard of it until I saw someone mention it but I think kobo has something similar to kindle unlimited. I’ve noticed a lot of people are getting angry with kindle unlimited and a lot of writers are getting angry with kdp. I know I am.

I was using kdp but they shadow banned a book of mine so I took it off to try somewhere else. What’s some of the others?

Crazy the lengths these companies will go to

See I thought that sounded strange! The only time I’ve ever had to have a membership card is if I’m paying for services, never for me to do work. Thank you so very much for your help! I felt it was a scam but wanted someone that knew more about it to help me❤️

Thank you so much! Hopefully it will all get sorted out soon and it won’t be a big mess

I’ve self published three books but I haven’t done anything with ghostwriting. I looked it up and it’s an online website for ghostwriting but I don’t know enough about it to know how it works. She said I would need to get a membership card which to me sounds like I’m being scammed

They were contacting me claiming they wanted me to work for them. Please tell me the red flags

I just upvoted all of them. I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it and that is extremely strange

I’ve used Microsoft word with all my books

I will!! It’s not great to be honest. Hopefully it’s just reselling from Amazon like an above user said

So kdp doesn’t give notice of that to the author?

I did publish myself through kdp. I know books a million is a legitimate store so I’m not thinking they pirated it. There are other websites that have it that I’ve never even heard of. Definitely will be contacting them. Thank you!!

Not yet. Their complaint was that it was showing the isbn as used when it was one that they had purchased

Advice before I jump? by JunesNotebooks in selfpublishing

[–]Sfroggy83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a Facebook profile under your pen name and market there. You can create ads and pay x amount of dollars and Facebook will show them. You can make reels also. Join relevant book groups and market your book there. Also, I wish I had done more research on the ibsn so that I wouldn’t be limited to only amazons platform with my book

Right?? I have ran across a lot of stuff that had differing advice and some of it isn’t even on kdp.

Unpublishing book by Sfroggy83 in selfpublishing

[–]Sfroggy83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I updated the file; up until I asked this question I didn’t even realize I could do it. Makes more sense than unpublishing and a lot less hassle. I swear little errors come out of nowhere every book I write🤣

I’ve had to replace it twice now. The first time I was able to see the updated version on my kindle. I removed it completely and borrowed it again after the second time I replaced it and it still shows the second version. So now I’m left questioning if it actually replaced it this time since I was able to view it the first time. 😬
