    I like the way you explain things and your calm voice. This business is even harder if English is your second language...this is my case. But i hope to improve in each stage.

      Thank you so much. English used to be my second language too, so I understand.

    That's the one thing I don't care for about KDP, is that they really aren't clear about what changes they make and then they implement it, THEN they announce it and immediately nail people before even giving people a chance to comply. I have half a dozen books sitting on the bookshelf waiting to be published, but I'm afraid to publish them. I keep checking and rechecking the guidelines and worrying that I missed some tiny step that is going to get me nixed.

    I have a full-time job and, after work, I just want to rest and so finding the time and energy to really give KDP a go given that work obligation can be challenging. Suggestions welcome. I guess it's a question of not wasting time doing too many non-productive activities and narrowing one's focus. Thank you. Looking forward to buying your book and branding course.

    • @TheHomeBoss

      It's not easy when you have a full time job. However, just do what you can. It's amazing how little things over the days can add up to quite a few accomplishments. Focussing on what moves the needle is key. I learned that the hard way too. Just take small steps but often, and focus on one thing at a time. It helped me a lot to make a schedule/plan with things that I wanted to accomplish and then I just chipped away whenever I could. I wish you all the best on your publishing journey.

      @michaelrush1390 I agree, it is hard when you work full time (as I do too) but people still manage to do it. We just have to leave ourselves enough time to work on our business regularly. Consistency usually pays off it seems :) Good luck!

    Hi. After doing my first ad with Amazon, my KDP account was abruptly terminated over a year ago. I am still unclear about what happened and have had no luck getting someone to offer some insight from KDP. Do you have any tips on how to reinstate an account? A few of my books are still being sold on Amazon as well. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Any feedback would be great. Thank you!

    • @TheHomeBoss
      @TheHomeBoss  18 дней назад +1

      The only way to get your account back is by contacting Amazon KDP. Without knowing any background information, it is impossible for me to advise. I recommend you contact them again and try and find out why you got terminated. Keep trying to speak to an actual person, there is a chat feature that you can hopefully access. Unfortunately, Amazon's emails are very cryptic and unclear at times. I really hope you can get this resolved. Best of luck!

    How long after creating social media for your author did you notice an increase in sales?

    • @TheHomeBoss
      @TheHomeBoss  24 дня назад +4

      It took a few months. You won't get results from the start, it's really a matter of building your following. But if you spend 10 minutes a day even, this time in 6 months, you will see the difference pay off.

    Hello. I listened very attentively to your advise and I must confess it's an eye opener. I would wish a review from you as an established author. I have an a USA elections 2024 themed Ebook (hard cover still under review) titled "What would Olivia Pope Do In Kamala Harris' Place?" It's rather time bound considering the elections are a month to come. Under the circumstances, what are the chances for selling after the elections?

    • @TheHomeBoss
      @TheHomeBoss  10 дней назад

      That is a very difficult question to answer. Have you researched similar books that were launched before an election? That might be the best way to find out. Unfortunately this is the problem with topics that are trending, it means that in time there might not be a high demand. Best of luck, I hope it all works out well for you.

    • @TheHomeBoss
      @TheHomeBoss  День назад

      Memoirs are difficult to sell unless you're a well known or famous person. You could try and advertise. What did your research tell you before you published? Was there demand? There are lots of reasons why a book doesn't sell, but try marketing and promoting your book. I wish you all the best.
