I would expect them to sue you for that $30k. They have sued legit authors for less. This plagued me too and I was legit. My system was like - write book or pay ghostwriter - pay editor to edit - revise - editor - pay 3 different proof readers to read book - edit for changes - publish and...

You don't, external traffic is the only way these days. Amazon has basically made it so no one gonna randomly buy your book, or even if looking for your subject, unless you're using Amazon ads just to stay alive. So use Facebook ads, or email lists etc. If I was to ever pub on Amazon again I...

I think it's conflicting, morals and ethics. We can think there is karma and whatnot but then die broke having lived a life of boredom and misery, without the things immense wealth purchases, only to find we simply don't exist anymore when we die; so all those morals and ethics that made you...

I honestly don't believe this one bit. Either whole thread is fiction or Amazon will ban you before the first payout. I have 89 books in my KDP and about 20 I unpublished due to quality errors. This was roughly 3-4 years work, the majority are fiction like 5 books in a series with a...

It's interesting the shift. A decade ago people would boast about what they got up to, how much money they were making. For example Adsense sites 2 decades ago, then Kindle KDP in 2013. It would be ez to come on here and elsewhere, look at people boasting and simply copy their model and make 4...

Thanks for the infos advice. Nothing has really hit me as better than cpa so far. I'm still doing KDP too, I hear 90% of profit is in paperbacks and I have 110 ebooks (all with full copyright ownership, no plr etc) so over the next week I am going to add paperbacks to the top 10 performers...

Just wondering what you guys would do, as a new venture, with $25k seed? I also have a brilliant credit rating (high 800's) and $0 debt at all as I live pretty strictly and ultra minimalist. The money arrives in September so got some time before hand. I am 90% sure I want to get more into...

Do you sell mainly ebooks or paperbacks? I have 110 titles I never did the paperback version of my titles, just ebooks, made $11k or so since 2013. Wondering if it's worth publishing the paperback of my most successful books (all of which are non fiction) or just moving on?

Underground bunker would not save you from either full scale nuclear war or a planet crashing into earth, it might just maximise your chances of dying the worst death possible. If either were coming I would make my way to the highest land point ASAP just to see it coming before my life ended.

I'm sure people don't read the thread. He can cash out his own BTC...but how does he explain where he got the BTC from in the first place? If he can't, his IRS will take the cash, and he will be looking at jail time... OP, just spend the coins themselves. Some places will let you buy stuff...

long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I have been in the Kindle business since it came out, 4 figure days, blah blah, it all went to pot a few years ago when Unlimited came out and people started pulling shady stuff like nicking your books (direct copying) then DMCA'ing yours.... I...

Does this actually work? I know someone who claims to have hundreds of thousands of BTC that he/she mined themselves back when it came out. He/she lost thousands due to the mtgox scam so stopped trading and still has them all... last time they talked to me they said it was worth around $500...
