It's interesting how people cast shade on Amazon without providing the proof…….exactly the same thing they accuse Amazon of doing. Example from this video.
AT 1:46 She says, "..I have had them deny issues when it's very obvious there is an issue." But she doesn't say why it was obvious to her. She doesn't say what tha tissue was. She doesn't provide any proof, or even evidence of this "Issue" she claims was so obvious. Why not? Is that transparant?
Another example: At 2:11 she sayd "Amazon will randomly go in and change the KENPC."
Does anyone think they "randomly" do anything? Do you think a team at Amazon is in some back room thinking up ways to screw KU authors? Or are they "randomly" chaneing the KENPC not knowing if their "Random" change will screw Amazon. It's laughable, but if you already think the big bad Amazon is out to get you, you'll buy it without any evidence.
THe business decision to use KU or not is a simple one. Where can you get the most exposure, and/or make the most money and which is most important to you as an author at this stage in your career. And you don't need to make unverifiable claims against Amazon to justify that decision. Take the emotion out and logically examine the choice.
Love your cons on Kindle Unlimited. Not good to have all your books in one basket. Where did I hear that from…? Thanks for your video I got much value out of it.
I'm a historical romance author. Do you think I should use a kindle unlimited?
Sounds like FAR MORE 'Negatives,' than 'Positives.' I guess that's what it gets measured by.
This is one of the best vids I have ever seen on YT. She addresses all the issues, concerns, and questions I have about KU. I sold one book and got a royalty of $2.76, and I sold 600 pages of the same book, earned $2.70. The book is an 80-page fiction book released a few days ago. I was astounded, not having paid much attention to the issue. I'm retired and don't need the money. Still, not interested in giving my IP away for free. Good job, very helpful and happy you pull no punches.
I just never make much in kdp as I do when not exclusive. Most Europeans still don't buy books thru Amazon. Barnes and Noble is still a significant number of sales for me as is Google play and draft2digital, personally. Some years, I've sold more thru B&N too.
Great video. Balanced, well-informed, to the point. Truly helpful!!
I’ve said from the beginning that I wanted to go wide, but because I am planning to publish some romance series, I have started to wonder if KU would be worth it (since that genre seems to do well in KU). But I still don’t like the idea of putting all my eggs in one basket. Also, I’m a slow writer, so maybe it’s not for me since I don’t plan to do rapid release. That would be a lot of stress!
Thanks for this video. You’ve given me a lot to think about!
So this video is for writers and not consumers .
If you you write under several pen names can you place some books in Kindle unliminted and other books the traditional way? Or is this against their rules? And what do you suggest launching a new book price at.I also think 99 cents is crazy.
I love your enthusiasm and your info so much! I’ve been battling this decision for myself as I prepare to launch my first book. I’m excited to check out more of your videos!
poop on a stick… THAT'S MY FAVORITE BOOK
I know a lot of authors who’ll only do temp KU. They’ll do a short term KU run for a series to boost the sales of blacklists. Then pull them off. Some will soft launch a spin-off series to KU only and then after a short term open up. I’ve tried both, KU just wasn’t for me.
Kindle unlimited still sounds like a great opportunity for someone writing their first dozen or so books. Usually the books won't be as good and most people would make zero dollars at this stage and this is a way for them to get reads with lower expectations and competition. I think once you have more skill and experience it would be a terrible platform to use. I make comics for a living and websites were noobs start out on work in the same way. It's great for someone starting out but terrible to make a living on.
Please, Please please can you make good on your tease to do a whole video on why not to do 99cent releases?! Right now I am facing a hard dilemma for my new series. To get more promo sites they prefer 99cent releases and if I want to get slots for the promos you have to book the earlier the better. The problem is if I do that I have to put up a pre-order and all the readers that will buy anything I put out will snap it up at the lower price instead of $2.99 and if the promo bombs then I will have lost profit on my regular readers. Don' t know what to do! Love your videos!
I am still learning and finding my comfort zone to finally take the big move. You have honestly put out there everything I was reading and suspected of amazon.
Did you ever make good money on KU before deciding to go wide?
I’m definitely not exclusively publishing through KDP. I’ve been researching. They are not the best for self publishing. You diversify your business. Tap into the global market.
"Back List" …. is that a list of my other books? "Wide" …… is that being on Kindle but not KU? is KU also the Kindle Select program? Actually I gave you a thumbs up! (because of your testicles)
So I wonder why “big” authors are using KU? I would understand adding their book after a big release dies down but Colleen Hoover just released Regretting You and it’s free in KU. I would think that would hurt her launch. Maybe not though, I preordered her paperback but plan to read it on KU. 💁🏻♀️
Okay, you make a lot of sense. I’ll basically have to binge every video you’ve created now so there are my plans for the week.
I watched the pros and the cons videos. Young I am not, stress I don't want and to use your very powerful phrase, "you killed it" !! Your eye contact and not reading your pros and cons was killing it for me. It is easy to talk about things you are passionate about and If anyone can't pick that up in this video, their picker is dang sure broke. My genre is short stories that are nonfiction, you know the kind about my life in many endeavours and the been there, done that and got the tee shirt to prove it. Girl, you can believe this, IF I decided to go the Amazon route. Those folks don't want to deal with me on any BS they can't or won't make right for me. As the old saying is here, hell I kicked the ass of folks, the dipshits that answers the phone, like you just getting to the fight. But doubt I want the stress or headache.
I sure did enjoy you video though. Keep up the fire young lady!!
