Hi Sean I would like to submit my book for you to review but I sent you a message via Instagram (without the book link) and I can't send another message with the link . Can I send you it via TH-cam? Or to an email address? Thank you!
I've started watching your videos a round 4 weeks ago and decided to give it a try. Today, on my 40th birthday, I have published my first book. In fact, my first two. Is a child story, and I uploaded it on paperback and ebook. Now waiting for kdp's approval. I am super excited.
Hi, I have a couple of questions please, when you click to say you are copyright owner etc…how do you copyright every book you create? Also, how do you file income tax on this? Is it as an independent contractor? Thanks
Just published my first coloring book, no use of AI! I’m actually an artist… so I drew every page. I have no idea what I’m doing with publishing, no idea if my book will get any sales etc. thank you for all of your sharing, it’s been tremendously helpful to me!
And by the way, it’s great to see someone actually telling people to be authentic, honest and fair. That is refreshing to hear in a world of so much deceit, manipulation, greed and lies. Well done fella
Hi Sean, as you know by now I'm a big fan. A week ago I was at the doctor and mentioned that I want to try your KDP advice. I told him you are a genius and he googled you and asked me if this is you, to which I replied 'yes,' lol. He said he was also interested in making a few extra bucks as we all are, and said he would watch your channel too and also try it. It just shows how much of a difference you make in people's lives with your amazing advice, content. We live in Durban, South Africa, so again shows that people you have no clue even exist on the other side of the world, are grateful and appreciate your honest, informative channel. Thanks Sean, keep your awesome channel going please. Thanks Sean, much ❤ and appreciation from a granny. ❤
I totally agree with you. People need to think if their book is going to help the customer solve their "problem" or is just for the extra bucks. I've seen a bunch of coloring books on Amazon that are just a lot of "copy and paste" images with no sense whatsoever. I'm a Graphic Designer working in the educational field with special need kids, and I'm always trying to find the right activity for my students, so I know what You're talking about.
As a person who ACTUALLY writes, designs and illustrates her own books… THANK GOD FOR THE CHANGES … HOWEVER I wish they would bring back multiple images so that I can show the features of my book above the fold… Thank god my old books have that… but a huge bummer for my new books.
🏋♂ No excuses. If you want it, work for it. Push past the comfort zone and challenge yourself to rise above the obstacles. Your strength lies in your persistence. 🏆
I 100%, totally agree with all of the points that you have made here Sean. Yes, I too use ai at times, but even then I edit and rewrite or re-draw the output. I have worked in both sales and marketing and you have to understand your customers. It doesn't matter if you have 100 happy customers, if get just 1 unhappy one it can destroy you credibility. I'm glad that Amazon has taken these steps.
I'm glad they're starting to crack down on the AI book spammers that are filling the marketplace with a bunch of garbage. It's bad for Amazon's customers and it's bad for legitimate authors. I'd love to see them restrict authors to publishing a single long content book per quarter and a single low content book per month. This would be an even better approach to weed out the riff raff. Legitimate authors produce quality content, and that means lots of editing and verification. This takes a lot of time, usually much longer than it takes to write a book in the first place.
Great video. So true about Amazon's caring about the customer. When I worked for Amazon, that was definitely a mantra that was preached. Maybe a little too much by some in the company, and it was definitely a way to push your projects, show how it will benefit the customer.
I've been an on and off viewer for a bit now and i must say this is definitely helpful, because i am planning on making a book and publishing it online, so if wanted to put on KDP i will keep these tips in mind. Thank you for the work you do
I believe in you Sean, I have been following you Sean. I created a new account arround june, I created 4 books. One of them made about $9, the second one has made over $20 with a five star rating. Your video is a motivation to me, I wish I can gain access to your mentorship. A book can take me upto a week, I once exhausted a month creating one book.
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS, I am learning so much. Glad to see Amazon finally taking steps to get rid of the "Bros..." ahem... trash methods; ( low content garbage ) that are destroying trust and profit for actual books created by honorable sellers. Launching my first of 3 poetry books shortly. I have 115,000 Facebook followers, so excited to see how Amazon does when promoted to them. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much for this video) I have some coloring books with AI in Amazon, but now I finished new book without AI. All of pages I draw myself) I hope that it will be good results 🙏
Hi Sean, Great video. I have been doing this the new way with no luck in getting my book noticed. I hope these new changes will help me get to page one and more organic sales. I do place ads on Amazon, but sales are not so great. I used Facebook ads in the beginning and plan to start again. Thank you for sharing this important information.
I started watching your videos in July this year because I needed information on how to market my book. I saw a video about Amazon Ads and followed all your advice. With just a few tweaks, I managed to sell 100 units of my book in a month. After that, I began watching all your videos here. Now, I always check to see if you’ve uploaded a new video. I eagerly await each new release. Every time you upload a video, you share mind-blowing information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I hope to one day write and sell quality books like you and succeed on KDP Amazon as you have. 💪🏻
Great video, as always, buddy. The customer is the center of Amazon's universe. If you're not working with that same mission in mind, Amazon doesn't want to deal with you. Long-term strategies and best practices for the win!
I found you recently, I watched a few current films and I really like the content of your films. And it's exactly the same thing you're talking about here. Quality rules! Greetings from Poland :)
KDP is getting harder, but I like the challenge. I like how KDP is currently 'controlling' the marketplace from low-quality publishers. I'm restarting my KDP journey after leaving it in 2021. Your channel helps me a lot in my new KDP journey. Thanks, Sean.
@@AnkurDaveReels What I'm currently doing is: 1. Learning all the new KDP rules and updates. 2. Deciding what type of book I want to publish. 3. Researching competitors' books-I'm studying negative reviews to understand the problems buyers have. 4. Creating books that are difficult to make, so I don't have to worry about competition or saturation-I successfully applied this method on Etsy and am now trying it on KDP.
Well they should be "controlling" the low-effort low-quality drivel which is saturating the marketplace. I say it's welcome news and wish it would've happened far sooner.
Amazon invested $2 Billion into Claude.. so Amazon LOVES AI.. Amazon HATES BAD BOOKS , it doesn't matter how it is done. I know plenty of people writing with AI that are making a TON OF MONEY.. because they write Quality books..
Thank you so much! The hate that these weird people have over AI is insane and pathetic. They can just continue to be mad because AI isn’t going anywhere.
@@myopicdreamsyou have to be a decent writer in order to understand and fix the bad parts of AI in their books. I am using AI to write a book, and I am finding I am rewriting most of it. I look at AI as a tool that gives me a stone that I can chisel away and shape
@@BibleBreakout that's a really good way look at it. I feel it is. A tool as well. I just mean how do they use it to make a ton of money what genre are they using it in?
The no BS direct talk!. I just adore your videos. I am waiting for my books review soon, meanwhile following your suggestions, I have managed around 24 reviews so far. My book quality & cover are above average from what all I see in your book reviews. I do plenty of social media marketing. Yet, I am unable to get any sales. Maybe your review will point out what is it that I am not doing or not doing right. It could be amazon ads. I tried it for a week according to your video about it, but with zero engagement. I tried FB paid ads with lots of engagement/clicks but no sales. I need your help. My book is titled 'Find The Ladder'. Thanks.
4:22 In my experience, relavent keywords also mean more organic sales instead of have to rely heavily on ads for sales. The more relevant the keywords, the lower your ACOS
Hi Sean, first of all thanks for these videos, they're packed with so much great information. Super helpful for beginners and more seasoned publishers! I have a question about keyword stuffing. I've seen in KDP forums that books that have the term "stress-relief" in the title are getting banned because it's a "pseudo-medical" claim. Do you know if this is the case? I don't know why it would be prohibited--there are lots of books about, say, alleviating back pain, that are written by non-medical professionals and people without credentials. I don't know why "stress-relief" would be a ban-worthy term. Thanks again, you're the best!
I am always impressed and grateful for your emphasis on quality and integrity, Sean. Thanks for more great tips that even indie authors can benefit from while planning our own publishing journey! 🙌
I’ve been considering writing a book for a year or so but, after investigating Amazon KDP, I was put off by the flood of books people were making using AI and thus, swamping Amazon with so much AI generated content, that legitimate books would never be seen or bought. Just not worth all the effort to write a book and learn every aspect of the requirements to upload to Amazon. But if Amazon has now clamped down and got rid of most of these shoddy swampers, I’ll be tempted to reconsider writing my book. I don’t use GPT in my work. I want 100% my creation
Just what I needed. I uploaded 2 books, but the hardbook details need adjusting because I used too many keywords. I was wondering what was happening. I have uploading a 124 page Guided journal with 9 checkpoints over the course of 90 days. If your interested, needing help with guidance along your most ambitious goals, send me a reply and I'll post the link within 4 days front this post.
I agree with Amazon on this one. For those of us who work on a book for months-years, we shouldn’t be in the same camp as people who crap out bad content.
great video thank you! So it sounds like as far as you can tell books where you check the written by AI box still arent getting penalized on amazon? Is that correct? And we need to have a quality book whether it is AI or not?
For the last week or so, I actually watched Sean's video (a different one + a few more) and went to amazon kdp to check it out for low and medium content books. Obviously the top tier low content books on the top 100-1,000 looked great. Didn't buy them so I wouldn't know. But aesthetically looked amazing! 👏🏽 (Would I buy them? Heck Yeah! But I'm low on money so... 😭) Medium content books looked more fun to create (obviously requires more effort) but a lot of the books on Amazon didn't look that great or the sample work definitely looked way too 'low effort'. 😑 (Would I but these? No way! If anything, I felt like I had some responsibility to edit them! 2-3 I have discovered, however, that looked pleasing to the eyes and the sample looked AWESOME 🧡) High Content Books in the Top 100 😘👌🏼 For the most part. Except for H.Potter and Percy.J books, a lot of the other books were just so amazing! ❤ Sample promotion wise, as well as the book covers were really cool. I haven't checked very in-depth with high-content books yet like going past the top 100, so obviously my opinion is slightly biased. 😂 But I will say is that it helps to understand if a customer wants to buy your book or not, is when you're interested in buying your own book. It broke my heart to go through a lot of medium content books where nothing was delivered right. Especially considering the demography of the customer. Obviously I'm just skimming through, but it's so blatantly ruthless, right? Moral of the story: Hustling is fine, but don't trick and sabotage your customers. They're your lifeline.
Is Pubby now consider okay for reviews? I still don't quite understand the Pubby model. Since you recommended Pubby I would appreciate an updated opinion. Thx
Sean thank you I have been watching your videos and follow you, i have published three books getting average 1 sale a day, not sure how can I get more sales is it to focus on the books which I have published or should I focus on producing more books? 😊
Im on my 10th kids book and hardly getting any sales..Ive even used fiverr for help with keywords etc but still no joy...Im going to continue as i love creating these books...Ive not watched this video yet but going to watch it shortly and see if youve any tips.
Hi Sean. My name is Daniel and I live in Sweden. I have a question for you. When I write my books should i write them in swedish for the swedish market or try to write in english for a bigger market ? I hope you will answer my question.
Hi Sean, Can you tell us where you are currently ordering covers for your books? I'm creating a cookbook right now and I'm wondering about 99design, still in contests can you get a good cover?
Hello, I recently started posting on Kiddi and I just discovered this wonderful channel. What videos would you recommend for me to watch that you think are important?
Hi! I liked and subscribed. Thanks for your interesting video. I worked for years on my soft sci-fi/adventure/mystery trilogy I want to publish with KDP. I first published and posted it for about 5 days three years ago but it was far to early a draft and I pulled it from the 90 day deal you do by exclusively publishing with KDP and no other platform and forgot what they call that, maybe it was "KDP Select". I want to do the right thing too about what you call the "new KDP" so I can maximize my trilogy sales I want to release with KDP's "Rapid Release" program. What is it that you have to offer to a fiction writer where I could be a jump ahead of other novelists with my trilogy?
Hi!! Have you made a video on a how to prevent yourself from getting banned or permanently deleted? I have a fear of this. Also, let’s say have a coloring book that is Harry Potter or Hogwarts inspired.Should I about those words in the book and keywords even if the images aren’t actually of those places and people but inspired by them?
Is it better to get 30 reviews for a few books and one review for the rest of the books, or spreading the reviews equally throughout all the books published?
@SeanDollwet Really??? Wow... If I am having to do this from the UK, will the same model work for me and can I sell beyond the UK? It will be nice to see a video set up that's applicable to those in the UK.
Thanks for this informative video Sean ☺️. But unfortunately all the books i have tried publishing have been rejected and i don't know why 😢. They keep saying " Might result in a disappointing customer experience 😕"
Hi Dear, I have created kdp account and even after created 13 journal notebooks amazon terminated my account. They just said I violated rules of Amazon but they haven't clear what voilations, could you please tell me what should we do now ?
Hallo Sean. I have a question regarding Ai. Should we then marked that content was created with AI or not? Because even if i do there is still lots of work around the pictures is not only drag and drop for me. I spend hours correcting, adjusting those images. Are books created with AI somehow disadvantaged by Amazon? Thank you
Thanks for the video but this is the reason why I have my own platform so I can still publish a new AI book every day without having the hassles of being banned by KDP / AMZ. I started 2 years ago, I control everything and I'm at 6 figures a month. ( And no I don't have my own course on how to do this, nor did I do any other course ... I just figured it out on my own.)
how do you drive traffic to your site since you got know organic traffic amazon gives, and what makes people buy your books that you pump out daily? Congrats on your success.
Hey Sean why does my book keep getting blockd i have literally followed every content guidelines and done everything possible but it keeps getting blocked this us the third time and am afraid they could terminate my account if any more is blocked. Is this a fault from Amazon's side. please what do i do?

For the most part. Except for H.Potter and Percy.J books, a lot of the other books were just so amazing! ❤ Sample promotion wise, as well as the book covers were really cool. I haven't checked very in-depth with high-content books yet like going past the top 100, so obviously my opinion is slightly biased. 😂
But I will say is that it helps to understand if a customer wants to buy your book or not, is when you're interested in buying your own book. It broke my heart to go through a lot of medium content books where nothing was delivered right. Especially considering the demography of the customer. Obviously I'm just skimming through, but it's so blatantly ruthless, right?
Moral of the story: Hustling is fine, but don't trick and sabotage your customers. They're your lifeline.
I love your videos brother ❤
Is Pubby now consider okay for reviews? I still don't quite understand the Pubby model. Since you recommended Pubby I would appreciate an updated opinion. Thx
I would like to know that too.
Thank you very much sean sir ....❤
Love You Sean!
@@RoyDollwet love ya too 👨🏻
I'm planning to start in kdp Amazon
You got this, good luck!
@@SeanDollwet thank you GOD bless po.
Sean thank you I have been watching your videos and follow you, i have published three books getting average 1 sale a day, not sure how can I get more sales is it to focus on the books which I have published or should I focus on producing more books? 😊
Im on my 10th kids book and hardly getting any sales..Ive even used fiverr for help with keywords etc but still no joy...Im going to continue as i love creating these books...Ive not watched this video yet but going to watch it shortly and see if youve any tips.
Is using Pubby for unverified reviews still safe? (For genres that tend to be print-only, like activity books)
Hi Sean. My name is Daniel and I live in Sweden. I have a question for you. When I write my books should i write them in swedish for the swedish market or try to write in english for a bigger market ? I hope you will answer my question.
Hi Sean,
Can you tell us where you are currently ordering covers for your books? I'm creating a cookbook right now and I'm wondering about 99design, still in contests can you get a good cover?
I wanted to go through the course, but I have no money.
Thank you!
Thank you, I'm hoping Amazon starts helping broke author like me who care about the customers
Hello, I recently started posting on Kiddi and I just discovered this wonderful channel. What videos would you recommend for me to watch that you think are important?
Thank you 🙏🏼🙂
Hi! I liked and subscribed. Thanks for your interesting video. I worked for years on my soft sci-fi/adventure/mystery trilogy I want to publish with KDP. I first published and posted it for about 5 days three years ago but it was far to early a draft and I pulled it from the 90 day deal you do by exclusively publishing with KDP and no other platform and forgot what they call that, maybe it was "KDP Select". I want to do the right thing too about what you call the "new KDP" so I can maximize my trilogy sales I want to release with KDP's "Rapid Release" program. What is it that you have to offer to a fiction writer where I could be a jump ahead of other novelists with my trilogy?
sean do you focus on low content books? or more focused on children’s books? or 30k books? i’m not rly sure 😂based on all the types out there
Do we have to stick to the same niche in the first 30 days
Hi Sean, are review sites like Pubby still safe? Great video as usual!
Amazon is completely broken your better of making your own website on top of selling on Amazon & alternatives because the category doesn't even work
I'm planning to start in kdp
is your program updated to be able to get results with the new amazon kdp algorithm?
Yes
Hi!! Have you made a video on a how to prevent yourself from getting banned or permanently deleted? I have a fear of this.
Also, let’s say have a coloring book that is Harry Potter or Hogwarts inspired.Should I about those words in the book and keywords even if the images aren’t actually of those places and people but inspired by them?
Is it better to get 30 reviews for a few books and one review for the rest of the books, or spreading the reviews equally throughout all the books published?
Do you have any site apart from amazon kdp to publish books?
Does KPD work in the UK? All the testimonials on TH-cam seem to be about sales in the United States.
Yes plenty UK people succeeding
@SeanDollwet Really??? Wow... If I am having to do this from the UK, will the same model work for me and can I sell beyond the UK? It will be nice to see a video set up that's applicable to those in the UK.
@@victory1607 yes
Thanks for this informative video Sean ☺️. But unfortunately all the books i have tried publishing have been rejected and i don't know why 😢. They keep saying " Might result in a disappointing customer experience 😕"
Ask them to put it on draft for you , so that you can edit it , that is what I did and it was live on amazon
Do you still recommend Dibbly to create ebooks Sean ?
Hi Dear,
I have created kdp account and even after created 13 journal notebooks amazon terminated my account. They just said I violated rules of Amazon but they haven't clear what voilations, could you please tell me what should we do now ?
Hallo Sean. I have a question regarding Ai. Should we then marked that content was created with AI or not? Because even if i do there is still lots of work around the pictures is not only drag and drop for me. I spend hours correcting, adjusting those images. Are books created with AI somehow disadvantaged by Amazon? Thank you
Thanks for the video but this is the reason why I have my own platform so I can still publish a new AI book every day without having the hassles of being banned by KDP / AMZ. I started 2 years ago, I control everything and I'm at 6 figures a month. ( And no I don't have my own course on how to do this, nor did I do any other course ... I just figured it out on my own.)
how do you drive traffic to your site since you got know organic traffic amazon gives, and what makes people buy your books that you pump out daily? Congrats on your success.
Why should i sell my digital books from Amazon, and not from my own website or other platforms?
Hey Sean why does my book keep getting blockd i have literally followed every content guidelines and done everything possible but it keeps getting blocked this us the third time and am afraid they could terminate my account if any more is blocked. Is this a fault from Amazon's side. please what do i do?
Thanks Sean. Should I avoid receiving reviews through Pubby after the algorithm changes?😂😂
If I sell EV chargers on Amazon , can I add books ?
Hey Sean ! thanks for the video , I have one question - Can i market the Amazon KDP books through Instagram Theme pages and get sales ??
Is Dibbly still a good tool after the Amazon KDP changes?
If Affiliate marketers use fake reviews on our product and we dont know?
How long does it take for a new author to start getting ranked?
