For the amount you're paying, you're getting arguably one of the best device compared to other devices in its class. The camera is nice and okay for the price too.
Moreso, If you're a little bit adventurous, you can install a compatible GCAM module apk thanks to the fact that the device is enabled with Camera2api by default.

Thanks for this.

WIZGUY69:
Fonts 14 will be too big for my niche, its more of education book.
I'd check that spacing.
Really Grateful.

Exactly. Buyers will complain about the font size if it is too big. One dropped a negative review on one of my books I used size 14, trim size 5" ×8", 2.0 spacing with Georgia font for.

"YUCK YUCK YUCK font is too big for the trim size" was the negative review I got.

Since then, I started using font size 12, 1.5 spacing constatia font.

Ever since, I haven't gotten such review any longer.

Timijo:
No, not at all. I was just playing along.

That's not a girl . Na Alaye be that. A guy like you. You supposed know.

MISTAICEY02288:
Nice thread op and congratulations to you. Please what visa category did you travel with and do you have idea if working in Australia will be easy for someone who comes with a Visitors Visa. I am thinking of trying Australian visitors visa. I have travel records already. Been to the US about 3 years ago and i never had any bad record.. Thanks

Australia is very strict when it comes to their visas. You can't work with visitor visa in Australia. No employer will give you a job. If you are caught, it's going to be straight deportation and you will possibly be banned and such employer will be fined.

Employers always ask for job applicants status before even granting them interview. Australia is not like Dubai where people sneak in to work illegally.

Pass through the normal route if you truly want to set your feet in Australia. That's the best.

Sent you mail but no reply. Please can we chat on WhatsApp

I will message you.

Reality11:
For how long were you in kdp or what time did it take you to publish them?

5 months

HeliosHay:
No amount is too small. When I started I was making as little as $100 a month..you just have to keep publishing and refining your strategies..sooner or later one of your books will hit it big time..you then analyse what worked well and do more of that

Thanks for this insight.

1stdami:
Mostly Web development, Java, Php (Laravel) and Javascript (react and Angular)

That's nice. I thinking of taking a course on Python and JavaScript this year. Although, I do not have any basic coding foundation. I just hope I can scale through.

eliok:
you have how many books?

Are they low content?

22 books. Not low content.

ufotty2001:
Thanks for sharing.. I normally felt discouraged today

Don't. Keep pushing.

1stdami:
I am a programmer also. This post is on point

Which programming language did you specialise on?

PASSIVE INCOME

I am hiding my face to share this. But I am sharing this any way cuz I just realized that this same amount is someone's else monthly salary for a 6am to 6pm job. When you realize that, you have no choice but to feel motivated.

Are you not seeing sales? Don't relent. Set a target. Keep writing and go keywords hunting. It's just a matter of time before sales will start drizzling in.

WILLuKPquiet:
All. I already unpublished it and resubmitted it
It's in review.

Good

WILLuKPquiet:
I have been trying to chang e the setting to yes and its not possible. Do I need to unpublish and republish.
Please I need to do that tonight. Just got a sale since last month.

It's been locked. You can't change it any more. You can only set it when publishing any book. Once the book goes live, it can't be changed. Is it all of your books you forgot to set it to YES or just one book?

ChristoBam:
Said it since early last year that she most likely was given a life ban from US. With that your odds of getting visa with other countries diminish drastically. So she's stuck in Nigeria. People ignore her thesd days. It's the best thing to do.

You are right. When I see such negative posts, I will do well to scroll pass. They always think most people leave Nigeria cuz of money. Whereas majority of the people that relocate do that to secure their kids futures.

Nigeria is an unsafe place to stay. They never see the many security issues we have in the country. Even if one is doing well financially in Nigeria, he can't enjoy his money with peace of mind. Kidnappers everywhere.

Our security men are another problem we face day in day out, harassing innconent young men every day with so many threats of how they can frame one up and have him killed if he refuses to give them the exorbitant amount of money they demand just because one is driving a good car one bought with his hard earned money he worked for legitimately.

With all these issues, our over zealous anti travel fellows will never see all of that as enough reasons to leave this country for good.

Like you said, ignoring such people is the best.

mobiss:
Please, what can I do? Amazon is not sending me OTP for the past 24 hrs now?

Check your draft box. Most times OTP from Amazon enters your email draft box.

WILLuKPquiet:
Baba hi, please I got to know about kdp through this your thread and I have already uploadef 10 books but I am confused on DRM option.

After about 25days with on one sale. I am wondering if not tampering with the way DRM is set has been the reason for it. My books are being freely downloaded but one sale since 24th of December.

Should I always leave the DRM option the way I meet it.

Thanks

Always set your "Digital Right Management" on YES so people won't download your book for free.

NONNYG:
Awon thread derailers will soon arrive. a.k.a those who think Nigeria is best place to be. Those who will claim they have been to Australia since 80s. Those who will be asking OP questions upon questions about how he got his visa

I welcome you all in advance

I have sighted two of them. That Mizwisdom and bligs. Hehehe those are anti-travel beings. They are always filled with negativities regarding relocation.

They never see the brighter side of relocating from this life threatening country where everyone moves with his or her eyes at the back of their heads.

JafunmiFX:
Some are IN REVIEW
Only one is in PUBLISHING

Just be patient. It will go live. Amazon always take their time to approve every published book these days.

JafunmiFX:
Please I've created my low content book since Monday and it has not go live yet...I didn't receive any message of it being rejected either...what's wrong please

What's it showing on your dashboard? "IN REVIEW" or "PUBLISHING"?

The Op said nothing but the truth. Some words of wisdom are in what the op posted.

HIV is real. be careful of those you bleep with. The day you will have the mind to go have an HIV test , that's gonna be the most tension day of your life especially if you are the type that bleep around cuz you can't change the result once it is out. What you see is what you get.

How can a girl tell you never to use condom and you foolishly will agree to that? Someone you don't know her status. The fact that your dick is hard rock erect shouldn't make you as a guy foolishly dip it inside a pussy you do not know its status. It might be fun to you at that point but the problem will come when the thought of what did I just do now start pumping into your mind.

No matter how erect you feel as a man, if a lady do not ask you to make use of a condom, be wary of such a lady. Every smart lady who cares about her health and life should be able to ask a guy to make use of a condom. If you try inserting just to test if she will ask for a condom but ended up not asking you to use condom, be wary of such a lady. If she can do it with you without condom, she will definitely do it with other guys aside you without condom, and that's health threatening to you as a guy or to you as a girl. Whomever you want to have sexx with whether you are a girl or a guy, should be able to request a condom or no bleep.

And you as a guy, don't be carried away with the sweetness of a pussy to forget wearing a condom unless you and the said girl had personally gone for a test and both of you tested negative that's only when you can dive it without a condom. Don't risk your life for 5 minutes fun. Be smart and always be conscious of yourself whenever you are meeting with any lady. Some are carriers looking for who to spread it to.

A word is enough for the wise.

TruthHurts100:
If I've made N60million, then I will teach and mentor people for free. I won't charge them.

You will still charge. People really don't value free things. Put a price on it, they will value it more. As far as it is worth it, people will always pay for values.

It's all about what you can offer. If you are giving it out free, people won't take action. I love paying for things I know will benefit me.

Free things dey purge belle.

UnknownT:
Nothing actually. A situation where you have zero naira in all your bank accounts, using your BVN wont even work, they will just be calling your contacts telling them that you owe them debt, which is not fair on them. They cant even arrest their debtors because "where dem wan see d person arrest"

It means you will be saving money on piggy box for life then cuz a person is only assigned one BVN irrespective of whether you operate 4 bank accounts.

Does it mean you will never make money for life to save in the bank? In the advance countries, things like this will hugely affect one cuz they operate a credit card system. No company will ever grant you credit card if one is fond of not paying back. And trust me, without that, such person life will be terrible.

Gedifok is your book that big that you are using 8.5 by 11?

If your book pages is not up to 100 and you are using 8.5 by 11, it will reduce your number of pages. Why not use something like 8 by 10" or 6 by 9" and font size 13? It will help boost your page number. And pls, do not increase your font size too big for your paperback version. 16 font size will be too big for a paperback book. That will easily attract a negative review on your book. Buyers will complain that the font size is too big; that you are cheating them with your big font size. People normally use big font size when they don't have much contents in their books.

Use something moderate. I have gotten a negative review on that when I used font size 14, Georgia and ended up using a small trim size of 5 x 8". The book went up to 250 pages. This made the reviewer dropped a negative review about the font size being too big and the trim size being too small for the book.

Since then I started using font size 12 with 1.5 spacing.

In essence, always watch the font size you use depending on the number of word counts of your book. If my word count is 10k word, I will definitely use 5.5 x 8.5" trim size with font size 12 and 1.5 spacing. But if I have anything higher than 14k upward, I will rather use 6 x 9" trim size with font size 12 and 1.5 spacing.

2.0 spacing will be too spacious for such a book. You wouldn't want to risk a negative review regarding that cuz buyers will think you are cheating them with such huge spacing.

I only use 8.5 x 11" trim size if my word counts is above 20k words.


So always keep things moderate depending on the word counts of your book.

All una small small pikins dem wey say una wan cut corners to get rich at all cost by reaping from where you never sown, make una begin learn lesson. There is more to life than feeding fat and reckless at the back of the innocent.

Dem no need to curse you, the natural law of justice comes to play.

Na wa o. Cheating is bad. I know I can't take a cheating wife back. But the children should still know they have a mother somewhere.

I have 2m with me and i want to migrate to Canada...am sure 2m is enough for me to migrate??

One thing you guys should know is that it's not about having the money to migrate. You must as well have a qualification. Canada only accept those that have school qualifications or work experience. The other way is through school.

Maybe you logged in with a VPN. It might make them think you are operating 2 accounts.

Please guys, Draft2digital closed my account and publishdrive is really not impressing me. I wanted going for smashwords but I realized for Nigerians, they do not accept Paypal and the threshold to withdraw to payoneer is $500. I dont think I can wait till my royalty builds to that amount cos I dont earn much. Can I bypass in anyway and use paypal? any idea?

What's the reason for closing your account by D2D?
