'Writers don't like it when non-writers come into this business and make more money than them' This made me laugh so much Sean, it's a shame its true 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Haha 😂
I get it though, imagine spending years of your life, then some guy just hires a few people uses an AI and throws together crap that end up being better then the book you bought anyway
This is true for all the industries, e.g. movie stars dont like it when there is a new hero in the cinema industry, musicians dont like it when there is a new fresh musician in the market. Its human nature....which is instilled by the devil - hypocrisy and envy!!
Love you videos, with your help, I published one book and I’ve sold over 460 with 60 plus reviews…I’m trying to watch all your videos when the older ones, Thank you Sean, How I Win the Lottery…
Nice!
This is interesting because I've been looking at making medium content books as a side-hustle. But I'm also a published author of novels I've written myself and, from my perspective, the strongest feeling in the author community is nothing to do with low or medium content books and everything to do with the flood of nonsense books claiming to be fiction that people are producing on AI and flooding the KU program with, because it has a direct impact on the sales figures of every genuine author in the program. We don't have an issue with ghost writing. We have an issue with bots or unscrupulous A-hats gaming the system with books that don't even make sense. And that's before we even dive into the ethics of AI that's been trained on thousands of books or artworks it didn't have a right to use. I think in the right hands and for the right purposes, AI is a great tool to use. I would rather it was produced ethically, but that horse has already bolted. I would consider using it for artworks I can't produce myself. I would consider ghostwriting for someone else. It's a little disingenuous to say we're jealous. I'm all for people getting the dollars from their hustles. More power to them. I know a lot of authors that do low and medium content books to bring their own income up. And that's great. It's why I've been watching your videos. But the issues here are a little deeper than your catchy little soundbite makes them seem.
Great insights! I appreciate the debunking of myths around Amazon KDP.
Very useful tips Sean. Kindly make a video and describe the most essential tools (online or offline) a beginner needs to start a KDP business. Thanks for the great work you're doing.
Thanks for giving out free info here in these videos. Once I have the money, I am def interested in joining!❤
Sean...your video is a great help to me as I intend to be finishing my KDP books myself. That is because after seeing if ChatGPT actually understood the subject I wanted to complete my books about...it couldn't come up with anything factual or true!
Thanks Sean. Now I'm at a point where I'm getting decent sales, I'm starting to look into outsourcing options. Before I didn't feel like it was worth it if I couldn't market/advertise my book effectively. Having learned how to do that I think you're spot on approaching it as 'can it help get it one extra sale a month;.
Loved this video. Thanks Sean awesome! I am learning more and more by the minute. You are great! And I feel hope again. 🌿🙂
Thanks for the straight facts Sean.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much Sean. ❤❤
I am so glad I found your channel. By far the best I have seen so far when it comes to KDP. You give so much good information for free. I would love to join your program but am unable to right now, I will implement what am learning from your channel as soon as I can afford to join your program I will.
Yo're very inspirational, Sean!
Thank you!
Wow!
This is very useful 💯
Another big lie is telling people to start with Amazon Ads by automatic ads. Probably it used to work in the past but that idea doesn’t work any more!
hmm interesting, it works for some although I do recommend starting with manual targeting
@@SeanDollwet automatic ads work really well for me
It works extremely well for me
Thank you Sean for telling the truth. As a KDP author of several different brands, I get so frustrated with the plethora of lies that so many are sharing. Don't even get me started on the clickbait for TH-cam videos. Yuck!!!! It's a lot of hard work to create a successful KDP company and I'm grateful for folks like you who share honest tips. Still trying to break even with the Amazon Ads, but the publishing part is successful and so much fun!
Thanks for all. Hi from argentina
Thank you so much ❤
Another great video, thank you. I would love to see a video that talks about using Tik Tok shops and others similar. I want to set that up BUT I don't want to have to stockpile inventory and handle all the shipping and I don't know how to automate that outside of KDP.
Excellent
Many thanks….Ronny from Albuquerque ❤
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Please what tool did you use to check estimated sales of those color books on the video?
Can you talk about the costs of copyrighting and getting IBSNs for these Kindle or paper/hard books. At what point does one do those things?
Thank you, great information.
I have some books on there since August with no ads and I've made almost five dollars!!! I don't know what I am going to do with all that money. 😊
Now I understand why the ranking id harder. I will watch your video about the new Amazon algoritem
Hey Sean , thanks for ur awesome videos . I saw a video of u when you used grammerly and then entered it in that app that detects ai and it didn’t but when I did the same it’s telling me it is super sensitive and using basic apps like spell check is assuming it’s 100% Ai and not human . So if I publish this does this mean Amazon will also know and then ban the book ?
Can you provide a TH-cam walking through the process of adding a project through urban writers? I need advice!!!!
Yes I will add to list
Thanks! There are too many options I don’t understand! Does that make sense…
Thanks you explain things so well
" im helping here for free to let you earn money on kdp and then you can back to joint our programm." - I appreciate that man and for sure I will
Sean you're my new best friend. I love you! 😂
Hi Sean, I have been selling books for 4 years on Amazon. I sale about 50 books a month if lucky but never the number you say. I know I am in a niche (bilingual stories of a not a very known language) but I have tried everything with social media. I do not get comments, I do not get review but I still sale... I am very confused. If you can help I would appreciate it. Also how did you get these data on amazon page? Which chrome extension do you use please?
Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge.
What was the name of that ghost writing service you mentioned?
can i put a qr code in my paperback book link to my website or amazon page
Hi Sean, you quite rightly push KDP as it's done very well for you but how about the criticism of Amazon that they refuse to give book sellers any info regarding those who bought their books. Does email marketing matter or don't you bother with it? Thank you.
Sir the price is too high 1k+dollars is too much 😓😓
I've got some questions. Is it better to have a personal or business account? What are some tax write offs for this as there aren't many expenses I believe.
Is this tutorial for publishing on KDP in Canada?
As a professional writer... how do I outsource getting the #1 bestselling idea? 😅
How many best seller books do you think are actually ghost written? I know a lot do but how shocked would we all be with the truth?
Hi Sean, I am having trouble sizing my covers for my 8.5 x 11 books. Even though I use the dimensions from the KDP template creator they keep getting flagged and I don’t know why. The proofs look fine. Do you have a video that covers this problem?
I had the same problem until I finally understood, my book manuscript was a PDF file 8.5 x 11, with color graphics. I checked bleed, and that was the problem. For bleed option the manuscript need to be 8.625 x 11.25 ( I resized in Canva, but Acrobat also work), for not bleed the 8.5 x 11 will be fine.
Hey can anyone tell me what his extension is called that shows the bsr, daily sales and royalties below the description of the book?

With AI getting better and better, I think that the mystique of the idea of "a book" will fade away. Why buy a book that you know was created in AI when you can just make your own.....or ask AI to copy an idea that you like.
It will cheapen creation to the point of being valueless.
Hello Sean, I would like to buy your course in two installments. However, I did not pass the requirements of the outsourced company you hired. I live in EU, maybe this is the reason.
Hey you could also get it in the normal installment plan
Hey you could also get it in the normal installment plan
I have a weird question. If my inner book is black and white but my cover is colorful, do I need to choose standard color or can I just go with black and white? Thanks!
It makes no sense to me why would you make so much money with kdp and choose to start a second account? You lost me there. Would you please explain the reason behind it? Thank you!
What i really wanna know about the AI generated content declaration on Amazon is this --> Are they gonna plaster it in big bold letters for the customer to see? Or are they going to make it more discreet, in subtle and smaller writing. Because to be honest, that makes all the difference.
CAN AN AFRICAN DO THIS COURSE ( ROYALTY HERO )?.
I think that this video seemed more of a "justification of what I am (Sean) doing" kinda thing...
Sean do you have an email I can contact you at
Thanks!
Thank you Dave!
