Kalatium:

After I was done opening a payooner account I was not able to have access to a foreign account.

Open an account with grey and they'll give you details that Amazon accepts

Makavelli001:
Guys, This KDP ebook publishing is really a scam now.......... Its just as if kdp shoppers are only looking for free books.

Do you think perhaps you look for free things, and you attracted similar people?

Just wondering, presumably that's how the law of attraction works

Esiman:
KDP normally sends notification of failed payments. Besides the payment should have dropped before the day Grey said their old accounts stopped functioning.

I'm having the same problem, like penny said, perhaps it was reversed with no notification sent.

I complained to grey and they said the bank said the transaction failed and will be sending a manual reversal within 14 days.

But then, I saw that the payment for us arrived, 6 days after the maximum 5 days, without any notification, so now I don't know about the rest, cause I was expecting a reversal.

But Amazon told me that the money has been sent and may take additional time, but I can contact them after 5 days and they can trace the money.

My guess is the money is in transit.

Did anyone get payment notification from kdp recently? Looks like it's a little too early

Or is it for something else

Kly003:


Please advise I am a starter who wants to take this kdp as a hobby... Do i still need payoneer account since i already have a US account number and euro account, hence i dont reside in Nigeria?

No, the account is for sending the money, payoneer is just one of many means.
Further more, you're thinking far ahead, if you serious, go step by step. The first step for you is probably opening an account.

numen:
Hello,

Please I am willing to put in the work. I need your guidance and help in KDP. How do we go about it?
Thanks.

Research, check Google or YouTube or hire a mentor, like eliok, or look for someone willing to mentor you for a price.

saysugar:
Thanks brother, that’s the reason why am looking for mentor to follow his/her idea

In that case, look around for someone who you think can help, then contact the person and work something out. If you're interested in someone that's gone far, it's going to cost a lot. Depending on what you can afford, if you're looking for free, then it's research (Google, YouTube and asking questions), just don't expect see results soon. Free just means you're paying with your time, and it'll cost a lot of time.

Nickelodeon93:
can I use this app to send pounds to someone in uk… like deposit in naira and pay the person in pounds

You might be able to, though it's a long process. I think the founder mentioned something about it once in my email I'm not sure, but he was saying the best option is for the receiver to have his own grey account.

Sapiosexuality:
But why then does Amazon still accept .doc paperback?

There are several options, and what's important is a format that best represent how the book was designed and format.
Whatever format you use
Kindle will be read in epub and book will be printed in PDF. if you try to use a different format, the file will still be converted to the final format and some changes which you don't want my take place and spoil reading. so it's best to submit it in it's final format.

People usually start with an idea, and that's not where to begin, it's actually the end. A business is solving a problem for people, and that's where you want to start.
Think Uber transporting people to where they want to go without cramping themselves in public rides, restaurant providing food for people rather than having to cook it themselves, jumia providing goods for people without the stress of going to the market and it's wahala.
All these are solving people's problem. So instead of thinking of an idea, focus on a specific group of people, understand their problem, then the solution to their problem will be your idea.
Most beginners start with an idea, that isn't really solving a problem for people, and that's how their business fails.

Winningbot:
Please I will appreciate if someone can recommend an alternative for me

Use grey.co, you would have problem converting and withdrawing that amount

LogicBomb8:
how do you manage plagarism

grammarly has plagiarism checker, though it's the paid version. But it's accurate.

The people in power and those they care about are not the ones suffering from the insecurities. In fact some of them have their own personal gains in it, that's why I don't bother taking any drastic measures, so there may even be worse but due to their influence their ways are more coded

Immaculate755:


Pls would you be kind enough to explain. If others don't need pls i'm in dire need of it. God bless you richly.

Bro, if you're asking for explanation, that's already a problem, what he gave are tools to make the work easier, not do the work. asking what to do is like asking how to use a calculator

you should already know what to do and then just by seeing the topic, you will know how to use them. if you don't know then you're probably a beginner and you need to start at your level, there are two options ; use the free things, they are threads explaining how you start, or you speed up the process by looking for somebody that can mentor you are you paying him your return.

Not to sound mean, but we all have our levels and we're trying to go further up, that's life. If we're at a the high level and somebody is lower asking for help trying to help the person or help those kind of people just brings one down, a professor won't go and teach in secondary School.

The tools I.L has given is already a big help and if you need more you can go and research, Google and YouTube will answer most questions from beginner all the way to advanced. If you're asking him to help you 2 years later, you're only helping yourself and not helping him and it's not a fair trade. That's just how it is.

He is the one

Joyfun45:
Hi, I'm new to this KDP of a thing. Please I will need a mentor who can take me through this path. I don't mind paying for the services and if there are any WhatsApp group I can join to gain more knowledge about this kindly add 07032380845. I will really appreciate

Contact eliok, perhaps he will be available for mentoring

SirdimayG:
How can I download my book FILE? Am I missing anything out?

no need to download anything, it is the book you uploaded so don't worry. Just preview and see if there are any issues, if not approve and move on to the next part

Fumiex:

Can we strike a deal. Though i don't have enough to pay a ghost writer. Maybe we can strike a deal and hope u won't go around my back to publish d book after giving u a topic. A lot of ghost writers do this

Well, there's no way to fact check, but i can be trusted. You'll just have to take a risk and take my word for it. If you can do that, send me a dm.
I also have books that am writing but it's in a slow niche, so i want to ghostwrite while i wait.

mocipe:

Drop your number

contact

mocipe:

My problem is writing.
I've got some book ideas but writing is the issue.
If you can write, hit me up.

While i'm just the opposite, can write but my problem is the right book.
so i guess if anyone is looking for a writer, they can hit me up.
Who knows, i might just be what you are looking for.

byrron:

Don't you think that's a very personal and intrusive question to ask on a public forum?

You know, i once asked someone a similar question and the answer i got was:
"Why are you asking, do you want to steal my money"

byrron:

and if you don't launch your book properly then such book is heading to what we call the Amazon's book graveyard.

lol, my first two books are there

byrron:

Wishing you the very best.

Quality info, Thanks alot man

byrron:


"Your candle loses no flame when it lights another"

The quote above has been my guiding principle for some years now.

Wow, that's a nice belief to have. And its actually proven to be true.
If i may ask, how many books are you able to publish in a month? is 30k words your average?

byrron:


Why haven't you been doing so since that makes you more money and uploading on ACX makes you much more.

like i said, just recently started seeing it. i remember seeing some books with options for hardcover but i never saw any tutorial on it. Do i like have to adjust the book cover size or something? i don't even know how to do acx.
Sorry for the late reply

Am suddenly seeing an option to upload my book on paperback. Is anybody familiar with that?

chingle5:



Babe which can of reply is diz nw

lol, if you need help rewriting, send me a dm, but don't expect much.

Antanananovic:


Hi bro.
My pricing strategy is simple bro. I asked myself if these people know my papa? or if they know the king in my village?

lool

ToriLoft:

Great tips, what's your experience with paperback sales this January?

7 copies, only from my third book, the previous two sold none.

webhead:
pls don't be annoyed.

I just wanted to ask what the price of your book is ?

and the lenght ?

thanks.

Tip, i used to be overly concerned with this also, but i think the problem is trying to get it right the first time. We already use pen names, if the book fumbles, we'll just use another name. I remember when i started reading and ilegend wrote that a beginner without any mentor should expect to start profiting in 6 months. i thought it was too long, but now i can say i've been here longer and at least i can say there's progress.

Lesson - Write and see what happens, gain experience and improve.
But to answer the question, just see look your competitors own.

mrufainaira:

I don't have it. I registered for it but not given.

Had similar case, i sent them my school id and begged them that i'm still living under someone. they didn't reply. Surprisingly they released the money.

spendoon:

I don't think I'll be able to write those books because I am really busy, but I can share the one of nich I found here for free, I just need 5 people to quote me and we are good to go.

AM interested also
