@MarinaArtDesign yes indeed, and Amazon is seeing these violations and not removing them?. Yet my fear is everyday following the rules and still might lose account over following every rule. I am indeed following your tutorials and creating my books in that manner now. Learned so much h already from you. That said, I do have a quick question. For you if you could help me with I would appreciate it. I used Canva a few years back, and like others starting out thought that since I paid for pro could use the elements with adding in my own text etc, and while I used their free fonts and like border frames would it be wise to unpublished those books now to be safe? I wonder now after seeing a few of your other videos on this topic? I don't want to go deep only to lose the account over previous books that did get excepted back then? Thanks if you can be so kind to answer the above for me, will be watching back for your reply.
If the person with the dog coloring book had used subtitles like, playful puppies, goofy pooches, best canines easy coloring book for kids. Is that allowed?
Its keyword stuffing but not violating the no duplicate words rule. Problem is Amazon is not very clear on when and what is not allowed, it all comes down to agent you get. Sometimes they are super strict sometimes you can type anything. The worst part is if you try to publish they will not give you option to fix it, just block the book and you can't do anything.
You listed all the ways that accounts can get terminated...but what you didn't do is talk about the SOLUTION which is what the video title alludes to. Perhaps change the title to something like "How To NOT Get Your KDP Account Terminated". That would be more appropriate.
@@lelanacroft Thank you for suggestion! Changing it now. I was counting people will realize there is nothing you can do to get your account back after it was terminated with valid reason. There is no solution if the account was terminated with valid reason. People are getting messages from these scammers telling them to buy new PC and get ID from grandma.
It also seems weird to say these are the ways your account can get banned when you have others doing it for years without issues. It is very confusing from Amazon, the selective application of the rules. But thank you, changing it now.
@@MarinaArtDesign I agree totally with you. And your video is very good at explaining how to make sure you don't do the wrong things. I wish there was a way to get accounts back but I have not found one.
06:38 Halloween September 2024 published books, 07:30 October 2024. Some books I showed are older to prove my point Amazon is not doing anything about them, but I showed new books as well, published last week and months. The problem is that Amazon is allowing them to be published. Even if they ban the author, books will still be there in search results just out of print. Taking up valuable space in search results. Search for "Baby's First Halloween Gifts" or "Baby First Christmas gift" in Books and sort by Publication date. Once you find one weird pen name click on it and it will open up all the others. And Amazon never allowed the use of keywords (like gift, present, best) in pen names or book titles. If it did more people would take advantage of that. It was not allowed, but somehow all these people are flying under the radar. Sudoku is a trademarked word so that would never be allowed.
There are many ways and reasons your KDP account can get terminated, but what is really frustrating is when you lose your account over a minor error while all the others are violating every rule there is, and their account is fine, still making money, still selling on KDP. Recently, more and more people are coming forward that they lost their KDP accounts because they used Cannva elements (which is and was NEVER allowed for KDP). And after they share that some scammers approach them with ways how to create new KDP accounts. Obviously, that is the wrong approach. And you are also incriminating the person whos data you are using for a new account. Just try to stay positive and look for other ways to make passive income. And if you can spread awareness about why was your account terminated so others can learn not to listen to people telling them it is OK to "bend the rules" and "I do it all the time and nothing happens to my account". You will see in the video that Amazon has a weird approach to when to apply what rule and why.
Hi. Thank you for your comment. Sorry you feel that way. After someone loses his KDP account for valid reason, there is nothing this person can really do, it is over (legally). I had a different title but since I used reuse settings it must have taken title from another video, will fix it. Do you have any suggestions?
@ idk what the hech kdp is looking from publishers if they have yons of restrictions so and so???!!! Recently even I lost my account so disappointed about it btw I created books with similar titles so yeah that’s the reason but I tried to approach fron every aspect by accepting my faults but they didn’t reinstalled it So how can I go ahead 🤷🏻♂️if we can’t create a new account even If I have an active account it is a must for me to manage multiple accounts as im creating books related to different content type and I’m carrying out personal brands too… so I cannot pulish bothcoloring and cookbooks in same account ( I will use lots of different pen names ) now idk what to do idw to lose my valuable after earning good amount of money and freezing my earnings by termination can you please help me through it??

@@lizLewis-p6t Thank you! It's crazy to see so many violations on Amazon surviving for so long.

Majority of the books have been published before Amazon kdp made adjustment to their rules and regulations.
