So, earlier this month, Amazon terminated my KDP account for publishing a title similar to another author's. I didn't know prior to be publishing that a title like that existed.
My books were deleted and now I have over 50 books just lying on my computer not earning me money.
What Amazon alternatives are great and will bring a reasonable earning each month?
*Lulu
*IngramSpark (bad customer service though)
KDP should NOT terminate your account for similar titles. Not even for same titles either.
Have you written/contacted them on this issue?
Actually, they gave me seven days to change the title. I missed the message as I was sick at the time and they terminated.
Contacted them a few times and the response was they are sticking to thief decision to terminate.
I'll check the other options out. Thanks.
You may want to get a lawyer involved, if possible. They might be able to help you communicate with Amazon and gain ground back.
I don't know if I can afford a lawyer right now as I'm in a pretty rough place in my finances currently.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I'm experimenting with writing a small eBook - can I use my published hubs and copy some of the content from them into an ebook? I realize my Hubs won't get penalized, but is it a good idea?

For months I published no hubs and my hubber score sat around 96, in the last month I published three hubs, all of which are featured and each time I published one my hubber score dropped by two points, it's now down to 90. Is this how HP rewards us for our hard work? Correct me if I'm wrong but...

How much time at a stretch have you gone without publishing a hub and why?
