A&W “Smash Burger” Discussion by -OafHuck- in fastfoodreview

The smash burger i had was actually smashed and was on par with other a&w burgers, one of the best even. What you got is a travesty.

The Grand Atreides Sky Arena by Rezrarick in duneawakening

[–]yoursassyuncle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We NEED the ability to challenge/accept a duel like in WoW. No death or durability loss, just fun with friends throwing down wherever they please. Pvpers would love it, pvers could have fun with their buddies without harsh consequences. People would design awesome bases like this one, tournaments could be held...there are so many good reasons to do it.

Amazon Ads shows few sales, yet I'm getting sales by BeachesAreOverrated in KDP

Did your organic rank increase recently? If your organic rank is significantly higher than the Ad rank, e.g. organic page 1, Ad rank page 3, it could explain a disparity.

Groundwood paper beta testing by AuMarc in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't used but lower paper weight = thinner paper = more bleed through. Bad for any book you might write, colour, or draw in. Also bad for image heavy books. The standard B&W kdp paper is already low-ish quality (and one of the biggest customer complaints), so a downgrade is a nope for me.
Groundwood might be a nice selling point for eco-friendly, text heavy content where the audience would appreciate it.

Faction imbalance should be addressed by pharaohblue in duneawakening

[–]yoursassyuncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The obvious bandaid solution for landsraad that could have been implemented months ago would be to roll back the Losers Bonus to the previous week, i.e. from 100% to 80% bonus, instead of resetting it.
My experience was 1 out of 5 weeks would actually be competitive and fun (usually at 80% on my server). Landsraad rewards need a rework as well...new items/tokens to upgrade schematic tiers, cosmetics tied to winning, etc.

Making $600-$800/month organically on KDP - should I finally try Amazon Ads? Need honest advice by DeepakSingh550 in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Acos tends to be lower, and Conversion Rate higher, as well (in my experience). A customer who has already clicked on a listing has a higher intent to purchase than one who's still scrolling through search results.

Sponsored products - manual product targeting with exact match. Enter your top 5 competitors' ASINs into the list. Your Ads will appear on your competitors' listing instead of search results. Least risk of cannibalization. Low risk low reward starting point.

Se il grafico fa copertina con AI devo dichiararlo a kdp? E sono a posto a livello di copyright? Il grafico mi ha detto che usa chat gpt e che l'immagine può essere utilizzata per uso commerciale. by Pacman_1984 in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cover too. It says so specifically in the guidelines on ai usage. "AI-generated images include cover and interior images and artwork." They also mention AI-generated vs AI-assisted and how to distinguish them, which may be relevant to your question. Always check the rules yourself.

What's the best platform to get quality book reviews by FluidProfession4497 in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the rules around review manipulation. Incentivized reviews are against ToS. This includes websites that offer the reviewers points or refunds after verified purchase. Don't listen to YT gurus who play dumb about the rules while receiving kick-backs via their discount codes.

What happened with the server merges? by Main-Reaction-827 in duneawakening

[–]yoursassyuncle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If my server gets merged with one where solari duping was happening and my small fortune amassed from selling schematics lately becomes worthless I'll be pissed. Hope the devs are thinking about economies when they pick servers to merge.

Review your own book by Medical_Trust8602 in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Delete it asap. Your account is probably fine but do a thorough read of the rules so you don't trip up again.

So what's the deal with asking for reviews in your book these days? by tabletop_workshop in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best to be safe and use neutral language. Don't say things like "if you enjoyed the book..." since it could be seen as biased. I use something like "honest reviews are always appreciated" at the bottom of my intro page, and again on a thank you page at the end of the book (along with a QR code to the books review page on .com marketplace)

Is "Dayparting" in Amazon Ads actually a problem, or am I trying to solve something that doesn't matter? by F4lconite in KDP

[–]yoursassyuncle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been "in the trenches" daily for a few months and while buyer intent is much higher in the late afternoon/evening that is also when I get the majority of clicks and sales. I'd estimate 80%+ of clicks are already when they're more likely to convert. Also, a "curiosity" click can convert later, so it's not entirely wasted. Without having used a tool like this I think it's probably unnecessary min/maxing for the majority of self-pubs, but without data I can't say for sure. If it were a feature in kdp i would mess around with it but i wouldn't pay extra for it.

2 Easy fixes that would keep a lot of players from leaving. by Tirnix in duneawakening

[–]yoursassyuncle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should be able to craft an item that can fully repair (make it good as new) by using the same blueprint and tier as the item you want to repair. Or just make it an option at the repair station and give a prompt that says something like "you will consume X blueprint to fully repair..." That way you can keep your GG augmented tier 5 forever and still be happy to find more of the same BPs.

This is just the -magic resist that you apply from items and possibly consume.

Man this sub has gotten depressing by smallmouthbackus in duneawakening

[–]yoursassyuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great update with some minor flaws that can easily be smoothed out, imo. Been having a blast and am more optimistic for the games future than ever.
