Thank you for all your advice, which I follow daily, but you should also cover the subject of KDP printing in Europe. You have no idea how bad it is. The pages fall apart, tear, and wrinkle with any markers-I have many different types. Pastels don't color evenly; it's a true horror. I withdrew all my 25 books because I am embarrassed and think it's a scam to sell such low quality. These are coloring books! How can KDP allow such a mess? I asked customer service to print my books only in the US, but I don't think they will. Now I have to find another solution or platform with at least decent quality for using markers, since coloring books are meant for that. Thank you so much for your video. I wish I could publish my coloring books in the US. Here in the EU, the quality is the worst of the worst. They are printed in Poland, and I withdrew all my books, just 25 as I started a little while ago. When I received the copies, I found out the quality is almost as bad as toilet paper. I am so upset. I asked KDP customer service to print my books in the US, but I don't think they will. I am really so sad. Can you suggest other platforms besides KDP?
Cool... Question: Does any of this conflict with KDP Amazon if we publish the same book on some of these platforms? 2. Do we need an ISBN for these (since I assume we can't use Amazon's free to us one). And if yes, does that cause some sort of conflict with the same book having 2 ISBNs out there in the world. Thanks for the video and anything you can add from my questions.
GREAT VIDEO. MY EXPERIENCE WITH AMAZON HAS BEEN VERY POOR. YOU HAD BETTER READ AND DIGEST THEIR TERMS VERY CAREFULLY AS THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS POWER AND ARE NOT BACKWARD IN ABUSING IT.
Thank you for the clarity! Your presentation was so understandable. I was in traditional publishing previously and want to rebrand into this new world.
Thanks for the info, this the second video of yours that I've watched. I'm going to start binge watching your other videos because I like the straight forward approach and the transparency of you revealing your monthly sales. I'm going to try to make 2023 the year when I leave the rat race.
Hello Sean from Belgium ! Good vedeo contents ! I have just been banned from Amazon KDP after nearly 3 years and nearly 5000 books. I use to publish all kind of books (activity book, kitchen notebooks, travail diaries to comple), mainly low and middle content books as you can imagine. In which plates can I restart precisely ? Ingram spark (low, middle ?); Lulu (all kind of book but the audience is limited), or Draft3digital (low, middle ?). Thanks for taking time to respond me whenever you are free ! Thanks a million !
I have to leave Amazon after a army of Internet trolls left 13 1-star fake reviews to attack me, and KDP won't remove any of them because their system is just garbage. If they don't protect their author's in this new cancel culture, I want nothing to do with them. Thanks for the info, Sean.
They just terminated my account for having multiple ones, but the other one was already deleted 5 years ago, then after I grow it to 4K a month they shut me down like many others! What they are doing to some authors is crazy, was thinking of using publisher drive, any tips?
...because my country, unfortunately, is not in the list of banks! So I cant be paid and cant use kdp! Whaaaaaa! Thanks for the videos! I really appreciate!
I'm north of the 49th... literary agents are backed up 4 months and i've heard they may not actually read it.... I can't seem to find lawyers that have experience in e-lit... I have more concern about ownership and copyrights across different medias with the tiny complications of international law... suggestions?
HI Sean thank you for all you do to help others in this business. I have one question: Do we need to obtain our own ISBN for these platforms? I know if you use the free ISBN on KDP you can only sell that book on KDP. I wold prefer to get my own ISBN numbers so I own them and can publish wherever I want. Maybe you should so a video on the ins and outs of ISBNs (if you haven't already).
I'm looking for other platforms because KDP doesn't support my language. While I wish to translate my book eventually until then I want to sell somewhere as an ebook (I want to sell printed copies to but I don't know any platform would do that for non-English book and ship to here).
For beginner publishers, without followers, particularly high content, would you recommend publishing through KDP exclusively? Or go wide distribution?
I don't like Kdp because one you must have a PC to upload and publish your book. I like using my nipad for my books. So I am looking for a publisher online site tosend mybebooks on my ipad. I hope some. Of the ideas yout mentioned in your videohelp me. I have rough drafted stories I want to finish. And publish to sell online from. My ipad.
Hey Sean, I dont usually comment in these forums but I am subscribed to your channel, followed your videos and have published my first ebook and audiobook on KDP and ACX. My question is, now that I am watching this video on other platforms, will I get banned on KDP and ACX if I upload to any of these given that when I uploaded to KDP and ACX I checked off exclusive rights or that I would not upload to any other platforms. That was a recommendation in your video since they are the biggest anyway. Your thoughts?
Thanks again Sean to open the horizon!! So I can publish in Draft Digital or LULU, but I can "un selected" Amazon?? I have the bad missfortune after publishing very nicely 10 books, I did published a Sketchbook with blank content ( cos thats what is usual) But I got suspended by KDP cos it was against the guidelines and I was total unaware, beginners mistake!! IM WAITING FOR 3 WEEKS NOW! in hope that they re open my account but I feel so dishaearted! Many people are getting accounts suspended for Little or nothing, and I want to use my current books in other plattforms right? and keep going publishing the ones that I already finish ! They really cut my momentum! :( Thanks for your feedback in Advance Sean
hello, i was wondering if theres a way i can upload my books and making money of it but just so that i wont have to pay anything. i seriously cant afford it to pay for publishing and losing money of it right now
Hi, will I be able to publish on ingramspark if my Kip account was terminated, I would not publish the same books as I did on kept, they would be totally new and different books. Would I have any problem at Ingram or at Amazon ?
Hi Sean! Great tutorial as always! QUESTION: If I have a medium content book on KDP using their ISBN #, can I still upload the same book to one of the other platforms you mentioned?
@@SeanDollwet Thank you. Is KDP Select the same thing as Kindle ebook? If I have just the print version on Amazon and NOT ebook, do I have to buy an ISBN to upload to D2D?
Hello Sean, You said you have LLC for your kdp business, how much do you pay for taxes at the end of the year? Is it a percentage or a fixed amount of money you have to pay? Please I need an answer. Thank you.
Hi Sean, I'm new to the channel and publishing and I have a quick question. Should you still publish to Amazon KDP on your own if you are going to go with one of the services that also publish to Amazon?
Thank you for this video! I was wondering about ISBN. If I've already published a book on Amazon KDP with free ISBN, can I publish it on other platforms?
@@PallaviChauhan91 I think, if you utilize the KDP ISBN-free number, you are stuck with the Amazon platform only, as only one ISBN is given per book unless you do an additional edition. With your ISBN, you could publish on different platforms.
Hey Sean, what kind of books do you publish? Is it all coloring books and journal and stuff? I write fiction books, I have recently published my first two, and will publish my third one soon. I want free ways to advertise my books... Didn't know if I should try to publish other kinds of books to get money to help with my actual books?
Hello Sean, my name is Akinbosede from Nigeria. Have been following your videos for some time now, please I have a question. It is true that when you publish on Kdp you can't publish the same book on any other platform for another 90 days. Secondly am so new to this publishing business I will love your mentorship and advice too. How do I get publisher rocket, I could not get it online. My payment is always declined please help me out. Thanks
Thank you Sean. I have a few questions 1. Can you run ads on books on draft to digital? 2. Can I publish on Barnes and noble after publishing on D2D to distribute to them? 3. Can you recommend the best translation tool to translate my book to other languages?
Hello sean i just started watching your channel a week ago n just finished publishing my 3rd coloring book on amazon .i want to upload these coloring books to draft2digital too. Do they publish coloring books and plz can you make a video on how to upload coloring book on draft2digital.i ll really appreciate it.thanks

Have you found the answer? I'm curious to know as well.
@@behradart-bang855 Sorry ... no, it's crickets out there.
@@behradart-bang855 nope ... a year and still waiting ha-ha. Maybe we ought to find someone else to ask :)
Also curious!
Great video, Sean. I've been using Smashwords for years as a back up to Amazon, and they are amazingly author friendly compared to Amazon.

Probably some clarification if you can republish books as duplicates would be allowed should be mentioned.

Lulu- it's a website that orints out your book.... And you upload your document to the website... So it should transfer your language to it
