    Copyrighting has now become something brought to my attention by someone else who has enjoyed my poetry here on RUclips…
    I wonder, if someone tries to use my poetry and I haven’t copyrighted it but I have evidence of my creation of it, can I take action?

    Wait a minute. 🧐You charge 15.00 for your book. Out that 15.00you get 6.00. Meaning Amazon gets 9. If that’s right it sounds like robbery. Is there any job or career where the people actually get paid what they’re worth?! If I’m wrong in these calculations I welcome the correction. Great video thank you❤👑

    • @archuletawrites
      @archuletawrites  9 месяцев назад +3

      Hello there! It may be robbery but that's how it works if you list your book on Amazon. Which is why it shouldn't be the only way to sell your book. Amazon is great to accumulate traction and reviews. However, selling your book on your own website is the way to retain all your money. You have your book printed with an online or local printer and then sell your book on your site. If you only sell from Amazon you're doing yourself a disservice. Thank you for your comment!
