Hi I love your videos, I just wanted to note though that Pinterest works a bit differently, it's an SEO driven platform so you don't really have to take the approach of adding the value-based pins, you could just add all shop pins but the key is to make sure your keywords and descriptions are on point. One thing I noticed there is that the entire books you showed in amongst the coloring pages were both promoted pins which means they are paying to advertise them. (I'm a Pinterest Manager).

Hi Paul! I'm getting a ton of valuable information from your videos. My question is about Jade Summer. If you go to the Jade Summer author page/About Jade Summer, it says: Jade Summer is a brand owned by Fritz Publishing LLC (this is a publishing company in south Africa). If you go to individual Jade Summer coloring books, the product details says: Publisher: Independently Published. How are they doing this? Also, I was thinking that the Fritz Publishing Brand method, might be a good way to establish various niche books under one umbrella. Can this idea work as an independent? I have been doing freelance writing and public relations as a consultant (as an individual) for years under Montgomery Media Enterprises. I opened my KDP account with that as the business name. Could I then use one pen name for say home schooling books and another pen name for adult coloring books and then put them under the umbrella of Montgomery Media Enterprises? - but where? As the publisher? Use independent publisher and use Montgomery Media Enterprises in About Author? Thanks in advance for your insights.

Bottom line: NONE of your tips are of any value if there is NO way for me to get people's eyes on my books. And there simply ARE no ways to achieve that. Successful people do not (necessarily) produce better books than mine. They just manage to get eyes on their books. It really is as simple as that.

Hey!!For Amazon author Central page,there is an option for upload a blog also..So please tell me some free and best sites where i can write blogs and upload on page..
Thanks much for your information. I have a question though. Is there a simple way to look up which of my titles are selling, and how many? The reports just seem to give an aggregate number of sales. Thanks again.

Sir I have some book in KDP which was published long month ago but didn't sell. My problem with keyword. With due respect would you please suggest me how can I get keyword. Is there any free website for keyword?

There are free tools - ubersuggest. I use the Amazon search bar. The best resource.
I was expecting suggestions for the non fiction, Paul, so basically Amazon can shut your account down anytime. wow
Hi Paul, Is it ok to create a brand name which contains the word "publishers"? For an example "passionate city publishers". Does amazon allow us to use a "brand name" like that? Also when publishing our book, do we have to enter the "brand name", in the same slot which is allocated for author's first name and "last name"? Thank you.

Yes, you use the first and last name of the author box. That’s a good question about the word publishers. I’m not sure as I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with an author name using ‘publishers’. I’ll look into it but I would suggest contacting KDP support as they’ll give you the definitive answer. Good question 😆

Hi Paul! I'm getting a ton of valuable information from your videos. My question is about Jade Summer. If you go to the Jade Summer author page/About Jade Summer, it says: Jade Summer is a brand owned by Fritz Publishing LLC (this is a publishing company in south Africa). If you go to individual Jade Summer coloring books, the product details says: Publisher: Independently Published. How are they doing this? Also, I was thinking that the Fritz Publishing Brand method, might be a good way to establish various niche books under one umbrella. Can this idea work as an independent? I have been doing freelance writing and public relations as a consultant (as an individual) for years under Montgomery Media Enterprises. I opened my KDP account with that as the business name. Could I then use one pen name for say home schooling books and another pen name for adult coloring books and then put them under the umbrella of Montgomery Media Enterprises? - but where? As the publisher? Use independent publisher and use Montgomery Media Enterprises in About Author? Thanks in advance for your insights.

That's becasue they publish via the KDP platform. There is nothing preventing a buiness publishing via KDP. There is nowhere really to put your business name. If you really wanted it on the listing then maybe add it as a contributor.
Do you have a service that provide niche (key words) for other low content authors books ?

Hi Paul, I have an important question: You said ,in one of your vides , that Amazon can suspend or block your work on KDP books if they find that you are using more than one email adress. If I have one main email for my friends,news, etc., can I open the other one which I can use only for KDP business ?

MORE ... sales? You must be joking Doc! I live in a Third World country and simply cannot advertise in any which way in dollars or pounds. Bottom line: NONE of your tips are of any value if there is NO way for me to get people's eyes on my books. And there simply ARE no ways to achieve that. Successful people do not (necessarily) produce better books than mine. They just manage to get eyes on their books. It really is as simple as that.

You know, as long as you believe you can't generate traffic, you wont. The very fact others are generating traffic shows it can be done but I suspect none of them said... there is no way to achieve that. You have not only put a good effort into the suggestions, you have to keep on doing it more than a few times. KDP is a marathon.

@@shadowspublishing I understand that it is a marathon. But the FACT remains: thousands of people CAN afford to advertise in dollars/pounds and hence THOUSANDS of people have a massive advantage over me. My books will always enter at the end of the cue and will forever remain at the end of the cue ... of thousands of books.

You just need to continue at this practice like other authors. Their books just didn't appear in best sellers. This isn't an overnighter of making money. It's all about improving your writing and bringing your best. Those people did that and succeeded. I am in the same boat. DO YOU HAVE A KZread CHANNEL to show us how it's done? I don't think so. So until you come up with YOUR OWN VIDEO that teaches us how it is done, please do not knock the rest of us that is understanding Paul's point. REALLY??? Maybe you need to take up a writing class. Just saying.

My writing is better than most, but I'm not in the "writing" sector of the game, I'm in the no or low-content sector. And how do you propose I ... a) create a KZread channel to "show us how it's done" if I haven't actually "done" it, and b) get people to actually watch my channel or video if I can't get them to watch my books on Amazon? Do you mind pointing me to your KZread channel in order for me to see how YOU have "shown us how it's done"?
