Thank you for an inspiring piece.

What determines your royalties cut with amazon.. It sits between 35-70% a considerable gap.
How best can I optimise my earnings in this regard?

The price of your book determine your royalty cut. Anything between $2.99 - $9.99 can get 70%

How do you deal with ideas freeze..

Got a few running around but finding it difficult to get the template in place without becoming incoherent or getting too deep and losing the captive audience!

Do you have any useful ideas as to setting the storyline before fleshing it out.??

Trademark Search

So you've followed the steps laid down in the Kindle Blueprint and done your keyword research, you found a very profitable and in-demand keyword you want to publish your book under, you're so excited and can't wait to get the book written - not so fast. You need to check that the keyword isn't trademark protected.

This is one of the mistakes beginners make. They publish a book under a keyword that is trademark protected and end up getting their KDP account terminated. You can avoid this by doing a basic trademark search to ensure there is no restriction on that keyword being used on any publication (in this case, book)

To do this, you simply follow the below steps.

1. Go to: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4810:85kr9l.1.1
2. Click on "Basic Word Mark Search"
3. Search the keyword you're interested in (I've used play station as an example)
4. Check the "live" trademarks to see if you're prohibited from using that term in "books"

As you can see, you're not allowed to have the term "play station" in any book (without permission from the trademark owner). Doing such will open your KDP Account to the risk of getting terminated.

The Kindle Blueprint expands more on this topic and also shows you other things you need to look out for in order to protect your publishing business and investments.

AIT1:


Good day Sir.

If the Keyword is Live, but it does not include "books" in its trademark. Can I still write a book on such keyword?

God bless you Sir.

HeliosHay:


Not sure i understand ur question

AIT1:


I mean if I get a keyword and I check if it is trademark, must I see the WORD "BOOKS" as circled in the screenshot you share? And if BOOKS isn't included does that mean I can write on such keyword?


Thanks.

HeliosHay:


If the trademark does not extend to publications eg books, then its mostly likely you can publish in it.

AIT1:


Thank you very much Sir.

Now, I think I now understand how to avoid trademark terms.

HeliosHay:


You're welcome

AIT1:


Please Sir, another question I want to ask:

If I unknowingly published on trademarked keywords in the past and I unpublish the books after I got to know my mistake, will that help me to stay out of trouble?

I.e., I publish a book with trademark keywords, and unpublish it, I'm I safe from any future punishment from Amazon or the trademark owner?

Thanks Sir.

HeliosHay:


Yeah.

Usually if you violate someone's trademark, you get in trouble when the person, their lawyer or agent report you to Amazon.

In some cases you don't even get a chance to defend yourself Amazon will just terminate your account immediately
