He should have used spin bot to rephrase.
Even google will know and flag your content with plagiarism if you directly use chatgpt.
The rational use is to get ideas and spin it in your favour.

Did you read the post at all? It's not about rephrasing the research and the cases that were cited.

@supreme145 and anyone that works remotely,

My advice is to get a laptop power bank. A good power bank can last for 24 hours just like the one I use. You can charge your laptop and phone with it. Aside from the environmental noise and internet fluctuations, the power bank takes care of the power issue.

What part of Lagos? Mainland or Island?

Preferably Island.

Please,

I need a short stay apartment for a month to 6 weeks in Lagos. Please let me know if you have any.

I just downloaded the PDF and I discovered it's the same one I bought few weeks ago. I must confess it's a well researched guide. It's packed with so many powerful tips and tricks. And the best part is that it actually tell you what tools to use for the job.

How do I get the full report please? The link to the full version is broken. Can you please share with me?

If you have any business online. Learn how to show up first on Google search when people search for your business, product or service. I bought the service myself and I used it. I followed the instructions and within three months I ranked first for all the keywords I wanted, so I can testify that it works. For details, download the guide PDF at https://drive.google.com/file/d/10w2wCTYR1mTnwHNejXckOKPyWYb0c4w2/view?usp=drivesdk

Please how do I get the full report? It seems the link to the full report is broken. Can you share with me please?

Thank you very much for that Sir. Been looking at that but the fear of getting too much on my hands and not being able to meet all deadlines make me stay away from gathering up too much clients until I'm stable at least.

But I'd be looking out for new clients soon. Thank you Sir.

There is nothing like too much clients or too much revenue in business. Grow your business and expand your clientele. If it seems like too much work, outsource the job to a co-professional in your field. That way, you are able to make some profit and increase your revenue base. All the best in your business.

I personally do not think there is any issue here.

My oga @jarus, I sight you!

Congratulations to you and your family

May God continue to bless your home.

@OP thanks for this thread.

Thank you CrazyMommy

Crazymommy, Your attention is needed here please.

I got some pictures from pixabay and compiled my photobook to submit. I was still making a few update and decided to browse some other author's book. I saw two of my pictures which I have in my book in another author's book. I was able to see this in the look inside page. The book has its normal Copyright statement which states that no part of this book may be reproduced or transformed etc.

The pictures are the same you won't notice any difference, yes I edited the pictures to get my final picture but they look exactly the same. Does it mean I am infringing on her copyright or she is infringing on mine? After all, we all got the picture from the same site except if she is the rightful owner.I know amazon closes people's account when somebody reports a copyright infringement, Please Crazymommy what would have happened if I had not seen that Author's book and uploaded those pictures? what if I upload my book and tomorrow, she comes and start claiming copyright on the pictures and reports to Amazon?
Are you aware of any issue like this where both authors use the same picture from pixabay and one of them reported, how did amazon handle it? there was this case that I read last week about a company that claimed the copyright of an image which they originally took from a public domain site and sued the lady or so. I can't find the link to that story I would have posted it here.

Please kindly clarify on this issue because it would be so bad to have invested time and resources(data, fue, other personal worksl etc) in this business, and then one day somebody just come and claim copyright and amazon would have the account wiped off along with money and books.

Thank you for your support and generosity of this thread's information.
I await your answer ma.

@ Crazymommy, I noticed price changes with the choice of interior type on CreateSpace. when I chose black & white for my photobook, there was no minimum price, I could set a reasonable price. but when I chose full colour, the minimum price came out as $25 . will this price not affect sales? people like cheap things. I was wondering if can leave it at black& white because the pictures came out as coloured in the previewer when I first chose black & white.

If I choose black& white, will my photobook be printed as black and white despite showing as coloured in the previewer?

I do not know how to borrow someone money so I can't borrow you.......I will give you 15k....send your account details to officialdoyinisaac@gmail.com and on the subject write "book publishing thread(Beatrice)" so that I can know it is you...because I won't reply if it is another person.......concerning createspace just focus on kdp for now....and for the recipes it can be African recipes too but the problem is that some of the ingredients for the African recipes might be strange to those foreigners......so better follow the oyinbo recipes......goodluck...

Thank you so much. I have sent it. God bless you.

doyinisaac:
photobooks are usually called "collections"on Amazon...so what you need to do to see photo books is that you will click "photography" under photography you will see "arts and photography"under "arts and photography ...you will look for "collections"on collections you will see different books that showcase pictures of anything including pictures of great men and women... Concerning your second question if you are a female go for the "recipe or romance" niche...if you are a male you can go for the "business and investment or technology "niche..I translate outsourced books...I go to freelancer or odesk and pay someone to write a book for me then I on my own will do the translation

ok, thank you very much.
Hmm, payment is after 60 days and i am yet to sell a single copy of my book after how many weeks. It requires real patience O.
when you say recipe, are you referring to Nigerian recipes or "Oyinbo" recipes that I have no idea of? On romance, I can think of a plot but can't write I don't think I can write romance books. outsourcing is a good idea which requires money. who will lend me money to start? don't worry I will pay with interest once the income arrives .

God bless you and crazymommy for these insights.

Btw, I have a problem uploading one of my photobooks on createspace. I googled the resolution and other issues sighted by CreateSpace and I got a practical solution but I am having a problem installing the dopdf converter. The issues bother on trim line and images less than 200 dpi. I want to format the files and save as pdf. Anyone in-house with a successful solution?

doyinisaac:
my payment for April was payed yesterday because kdp Amazon pays 60 days after the month which the sales occurred..I hate doing this but I have to do this today...will be removing it within 24 hrs...checking my payoneer account from my iphone6+ after I made some withdrawals today...though I don't focus on photobooks but I based on normal book but that does not mean someone with a photobook on Amazon cannot make money..people selling photobooks make money too,but if u want to make quick better sales on Amazon with your photobook then focus on the "animal" niche meaning that you should be selling photobooks that contains pictures of animals e.g dog,cat,etc...white people or should I say most Americans and Europeans love pets a lot especially dogs so creating a photobook in that niche will help you...one thing crazymommy did not tell you guys was that this book publishing business needs patience,hard-work,intelligence,luck and GOD.....or maybe she told you people but I did not notice....Goodluck to you guys.even if you cannot write a book just go to freelancer.com and you will see people who can write books for you so u do not have to be a writer before you can start publishing books on Amazon..though my own niche is "languages"so I sell translated books..:.don't ask me how I get them translated,.do your own research too and think out of the box...think!!!!i repeat think!!!!!!!GOD gave you that brain not for fun but to use it to think..:.please do not send me pm because I won't reply.:if u have any questions just ask me here and I will answer all your questions...if I can make it you can make it too..GOD bless us all..

wow! this is something big. congrats and more money to your accounts.
Now my questions are these:
where are the all the photobooks on Amazon site located?
if i type photobook in the search box of books or kindle store on amazon , i don't seem to get much. what I see are books on photography and how to take good pictures. It makes me wonder if photobooks are really sold on that site. of course i have uploaded a photobook but I have never seen it come up in any of my search on that site.

My second question; do you translate your own books or other people's books?
which other book niches will you advice one to venture into?
Thank you.

@doyinisaac

pls help a lost one out here

I can't find upload file on the bookshelf platform, am I doing something wrong? am just stuck on this bookshelf page searching for a clue

From the bookshelf, look for where your books are listed. Each book has columns for status, amount and book actions. Click on the three dots below book actions. You can edit your book from there.

thank you crazymommy. you are awesome!

@Crazymommy thank you. what about pictures taken on the street?

@crazymommy, I am just wondering what will happen to my book and amazon account if I see someone dancing shoki on the road and I take a picture and use it my book? And that person comes tomorrow and say "that is my picture" what is the worst that could happen?

what about public domain pictures especially of people in my ebook? can I use them?

My reason for these questions stems out from the fact that I was reading an article on a blog yesterday and someone in the comment section told the blogger that she used her picture.

$2.99 seems to be the optimal price here, what if I have a book of 100 pages and price it at $5, will I make sales or is it too high?
sorry for all the questions ma, God bless you.

Thank you crazymommy. I should have thought of that.

thank you crazymommy. God bless you. i need to have fund in my payoneer account to be able to buy anything from amazon and subsequently make a review. Please, how can I fund my account. I googled this and found out it was easy to do in the past, but now you can either receive payment from one of payoneer's partners or have someone transfer fund to your account. although one needs to have made some transactions for the second option to fly. maybe I am getting it all wrong
the question remains; how do i fund this payoneer in order to make a purchase on amazon since i am yet to make any sales.

Thank you ma.

@Crazymommy, please help with the issue below:

Please how do I reconcile the difference in the price of createspace and KDP. At createspace, I was told the minimum price for my book is $11.93 to cover the printing and distribution exp. I want to believe I have to add my Kindle price to that amount to get my list price for createspace. It seems expensive for a paperback if i add my kdp price. Please, how can i price my print book at createspace without it being expensive? Note that if i choose the minimum list price, i don't have any royalty on expanded distribution.

I want to get this straight before i hit publish on createspace.

Yay!

Crazymommy is back. We have missed you so much. I miss you so much. Welcome back. The devil is a liar, whatever marketer adeniyi is, please go and sit your ass somewhere. If he had this information for 3 years and kept queit, why is he pained now?

My Adeniyi if you are reading this, back off before the God of justice will judge you. You don't want to help, someone else is helping and you want to destroy it.
Hmm, if all the beneficiaries of this thread join your matter for prayer and fasting, na you sabi o.

Crazymommy, don't mind the hater jare. Welcome back. I have been waiting for you, Infact we all have been waiting for you.

libertyfather:
Note to people signing up on shutterstock let you name be exact with wht u have on your ID eg ADEWALE on ur ID should be same you register with not WALE if you don't want them to ask you for document of change of name or whatever and again all my 10pictures are rejected crazymommy you need to train us to get the accurate pics needed oooo, light, exposures, texture and many more I can't remember all

.

Which ID? National ID or Passport?
Btw, who hs been accepted by shutterstock with Nationl ID card?

@akashi, don't worry your card will soon be delivered to you. it's alright, i thought you enrolled for createspace. I have been using the glo 3gb subscription and will check out the other options you suggested.
thanks

I have asked this before, please, how do you guys manage data? I just subscribed for 3gb 4 days ago and it is finished Ejoo what is the way out?

@sakalisis, I think it's Nipost.
@Akashi, it's Lagos state. And there is a stamp on the envelope indicating that it is for my area postmen delivery. I guess that was easy for them to identify over here because of the area code. (just thinking out loud)

Please how did you reconcile the difference in the price of createspace and KDP. At createspace, I was told the minimum price for my book is $11.03 to cover the printing and all exp. I want to believe I have to add my Kindle price to that amount to get my list price for createspace. It seems odd. Please, how did you price your print book at createspace?
