This year has been really hard year for self-publishing authors who are uploading a new book onto Amazon. There have been glitches, delays, suspensions and even account terminations around every corner. In this video, Julie Broad of Book Launchers shares three of the biggest issues she and her team have been seeing. One new one not mentioned in the video is that prices aren't being lowered for 99 cent e-book sales so authors that had planned promotions around the 99-cent sales are not getting the price lowered for these promotional offers. When will the fun ever end? Please chat about these issues and any solutions you have in the comments below.

You got it! It's coming in August because we take July off from new videos and lives. Thank you for commenting the day a video was released! Our final live before our summer break is going to be happening at 1:45pm PST on Tuesday, July 2nd. You’ve been entered to win a prize for your comment so you’ll want to be on that live to find out if you won!   We’ll be taking our July summer break from new videos and live streams after that but if you need something to watch in the meantime you can always watch the audiobook version of Self-Promote and Succeed here: ru-vid.com/group/PLh6B5bRioc1xBijZsvgKUJYyuR8RKjylA

This is a great video and a fantastic update on KDP, so thank you! I have had issues in the past with thieves copying my book, lead magnet, and all, but I was able to shut it down on KDP with my copyright page and publication date. My next book will be copyrighted with LOC. So many timeline changes to consider now make it harder to plan the new book launches!

Great to hear! I'm excited to see what you do with the new book.

Love the practicality of the information here! I've generally had a good working relationship with KDP and the people who answer their customer service line. But, then, I haven't experienced any of this and, hopefully (knock on wood) I never will. Very disappointing.

Great video as usual, Julie. It's incredibly disheartening to see KDP continue with the suspensions and terminations at an alarming rate. I've said it for awhile now, but I'll say it again: they need a better communication system for recently suspended or terminated account holders. What they have (replying to the termination email) is not effective and is insulting to the account holder. Guilty until proven innocent yet proving it is near impossible since they're not even willing to entertain what the account holder has to say. And, I don't know if my vote counts, but yes, more about direct sales. More indie authors need direct sales more than ever! Cut out the middleman and connect directly with your readers.

Thank you Dale! I don't know if you're also getting emails from people pleading you to help them with account terminations ... I get one a week and there's nothing I can really recommend either. This is such a great summary of the issue here!! As always, I appreciate you!!!

There is a lot to keep up with when self-publishing. Thanks for the info. Will BL help with getting the copyright?

@BookLaunchers 19 дней назад

We definitely guide you through that because it's become so much more important to have it!
