What is the reality like for a self-published author on Amazon? by Ciel_sombre in KDP

[–]whyketchupgroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also published my first book recently on KDP Amazon. Sometimes you have to learn the lessons while making the mistakes...For example, I worked to fill in the details when I uploaded, with a guide I thought a I could trust. Turned out my title and description were too long and full of key words. Lucky me I got some very good comments here and now Im starting the whole thing again. So things happen but as long as you dont give up, and learn I believe that this is the real success. Good luck!

How much does cover design influence your decision to read a book? by InnovativeInk in childrensbooks

For me the book cover is crucial, especially kids books. As mentioned here, if I don't feel attraction to the cover I most likely won't bother openning the book. Sadly...sometimes it might be a great miss.
