TRY TO FIGHT IT!!! you have nothing to lose... Call customer service, email, use the chat feature until they send you to someone who can actually help. Let them know you have always done what you thought was following the rules and ask for grace as it appears the rules might not be clear. Let them know that up to this point you still don't understand what you have done wrong and you have spoken with many in the community who also don't see the error. Even if you are going to take a break from KDP..try not to loose the account completely...it has obviously done you well. I have heard of some ppl getting their account back...best of luck!!!

This is the exact problem I'm having. I made 2 journals and 5 notary log books. I designed every page. I've had my account open less than a month and I haven't had 1 sale yet and they suspended my account. All they tell me is that I didn't follow the rules and they think I was manipulating KDP. I don't understand how to manipulate their system and this is very frustrating.

It is so inspiring to watch your videos. I noticed after your initial video about this book, after all this time they pulled your older books. I suspect that there are some jealous people that saw your success and systematically reported your books. Maybe this is a good thing as AMZ is going to change the royalty structure on June 20th. Keep fighting the good fight and thank you for your updates.

@wordcharm2649
@wordcharm2649 Год назад
I'm thinking they were looking at the title in a literal way. Your title is "My thoughts on how to be better everyday" but the book doesn't include any thoughts. It's blank. So people think they are buying a book/journal with thoughts in them. The correct fix would have been to add a few pages every now and then with some kind of quote/thought. Basically, its like saying "Favorite Recipes" and it's just a journal. It could mislead people into thinking it's a book about recipes. I hope that makes sense. I wish Amazon would EXPLAIN THIS. Because I watched your earlier video, saw the suspension emails and couldn't figure out the issue. This termination email is clearer, but I don't understand why they couldn't have explained this in the earlier email. In other words, they are harmfully vague and that is causing people to lose their accounts, which isn't right.
@shaniceonbiz
@shaniceonbiz Год назад
Awww thank you for your comment! I don’t think anyone was misled by the title - the other part of the title was “Lined Journal” and I had over 400 positive reviews - people took pictures of the inside as well as someone posted a video ✨💫🎊🌺 but they said the categories were an issue 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ lol they do need to explain or provide a guide for the categories

@Soyouvebeendumped
@Soyouvebeendumped 10 месяцев назад
Agreed.That would be smart!! Mine probably got nailed for this reason. I've yet to decipher their reason but they should set up a script that looks at the book, audits its contents, and sticks it in the right place if it wasn't placed in the right place in the first place. Many of my low content journals were put in that category too because there wasn't one for "blank lined journals" for goodness sake!

8:43 I think you were under the wrong category. Under that category are novels such as "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien" and "I Could Not Believe It: The 1979 Teenage Diaries of Sean DeLear." It appears that you're not alone in misplacing your diaries/workbooks because a lot of people were doing the same thing. Since it was "literary" I'm going to assume it's meant for non-fiction books.

I feel blessed they terminated it before my Ebook was uploaded - many authors are dealing with them holding on to their book rights. Plus, my journals were in literary diaries and journals- there are hundreds of low content to no content books in that category ~ they have no consistency in their policies and that sucks.

For good? Aww, well there are more options out there. You can turn that 67k as capital to start something for etsy, etc.

Have you thought about licensing all of your titles that were removed to somebody with white label rights?

Yes they did! I got that money in March and they terminated my account in May

They kept what I earned in March and April. They take 60 days to pay out after the month you made the sales.

Do you thing it would be good to reach out to them first to ask what category they believe a book should be placed in?

It probably wouldn’t hurt but I’m not sure if they would help! Give it a shot though!

Because your title is completely misleading, so it would always be in the wrong category, the only way you could have fixed it, was by changing the title. You got greedy, be thankful they let you keep the money.

They didn’t give me the money I worked for it! 😂 they obviously did not have a leg to stand on with the $67000 it would’ve been a legal battle in that case ✌️

@@shaniceonbiz Work for it is a bit of a stretch. This is low effort books and a cash-grab, so probably best to be happy you got away making so much on it.
