So you trying to say that Amazon publishing and selling of books(KDP) is real and not a scam?
musicwriter:


Of course, you can do that too if that's what you want. But if you do do, only Nigerians may read the book unless it's an international publishing house.

I checked Amazon, and most of the people who ordered my book are from the USA and Europe, though it could be because there are no native Amazon sites in Africa. I said so because someone ed me from Malawi saying that he ordered my book.

Are you kidding me? Amazon KDP a scam?

You must be among the millions of Nigerians that has been mislead to believing that everything online is a scam.

Is Nairaland not a scam too?

Go to Google and search how to publish on Amazon KDP. Note that you don't need some to help you. You can the KDP and paperback templates online and start writing immediately.

The only thing you'll need someone to help you is doing the book cover if you want to do paperback......and maybe editing if you can afford it.

Steal from customers how? You can’t debit a customer just like that without the system being aware. Try and be asking your banker friends questions before throwing out assumptions

You may not understand this.
Love800(m): 7:46pm On Apr 18
Alright.

But let me ask this honest question. This will be my last question. The question is, "have you sold a book in kdp?"

Yes. And from your questions it's clear you don't know anything about that.

I'll advise you to read about how to publish on Amazon KDP. You don't have to pay anyone to do that. There are many free resources online about that

Understand what? There are systems and processes involved before taking any actions on an especially when it’s not a ordered by a court…if not any action you take like that as a staff will be sanctioned.

You are very right bro, when I was going into faceless YouTube I see people doing horror niche, true crime etc but I didn't have ion for it but eventually I settled for what I love which is football. Now I'm so happy everyday doing my faceless soccer channel.

Very correct!

I have a total of 14 books on Amazon. The 12 of them that actually make me money, I just call them "money books" and have no attraction to them.

But the two I told you about and which I call "culture books" are the ones I value even without earning much from them

The nature of my job involved full time and part time. My full time salary increased because I got better job offer and my part time jobs increased too. Eventually I can boast of a 600% rise in my monthly income if I compare my earning now to that of 5 years back. But I fare better then than now because of this mad inflation.
Okay. That's what I wanted to be sure of.
If that 600% , ×12, was in one swoop.
One promotion. Cos that is remarkable. I have never heard of it.

It's not difficult, and you don't need help unless you want to do book cover design for paperback or editing.

Just go to Google and search "how to self publish a book on Amazon KDP" The book templates are all over the internet.

You see, right there is your problem. I simply corrected an error from you and you're going all ballistic. Your senseless ego won't allow you own it, take correction(s) and move on.
Accepting your so-called mistakes will help you succeed and go a long way life. Go forth and have a nice life

You keep conflating things. You can be in the ghetto and be chilling. We're talking of PHYSICAL suffering and starvation diet. E go show for your body no matter your genetics!
this banker in question is not saying that he is suffering or hungry persay. What he was saying is that he had no tangible achievement, assets or something to show for all the time and period he had been working in the banking sector. He is not hungry or suffering, he is just stagnant, no progress, promotion or development. That's how banking jobs are.

It's just that his BITTER complaints don't tally with his appearance. He even said he is willing to take any other job, like banking job is the worst job in the world. Meanwhile he's looking very fresh and very well-taken-care-of, and younger than his age!

Wow Nigerians will never stop surprising me, can you imagine someone said " he didn't plan is life well" awon master planner 🤨.
Let me ask you this question; what was your childhood dream and are you living that dream ?
Life in Nigeria no get plan because you go surprise weti you go turn to in the next five years from now. If you tell that girl wey dey do ashawo when she dey small say she go become ashawo, I bet you she no go believe. That's life, so no laugh anybody wey no dey do well or dey complain. after all he went to school. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

That's average Nigerians for you

They are quick to judge others,but find it difficult to judge themselves.

Well na hardships traits sha

Full staff or contract staff?
Not a full staff, that department was created for just me only, it was a contract but operated as a full staff, perform the duties of a full staff and have the rights only in the money it differs.
