Rich Rubin<p><a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> May 29: What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavour this month?</p><p>This one comes from this morning. I have a separate bank account where my <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/KDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDP</span></a> deposits go each month, and I also get an email from the bank when there’s been a deposit. I was pleasantly surprised at the deposit I saw today. However, when I go into my KDP dashboard it doesn’t show any sales or page reads for this current month, the previous month, or even the previous 90 days. Hmm 🤔</p>

DaxAeterna ✨ (witchandry)<p>Sorry for the bad quality and zero audio, but Amazon is allowing third-party scammers to hijack the default buying option for my hardcover. The link is to a OneDrive video, don't ask me why Microsoft makes their share links look like gibberish. The video shows the difference between the legitimate listing of my paperback and the scammer's version of my hardcover that now occupies the "hardcover" slot in the listing.</p><p>But YEAH Amazon is FINE with third-party sellers claiming they have books in stock when they can't possibly do so. I am reaching out to the Alliance of Independent Authors about this, but if you know anyone else who might be able to help me out, I'd appreciate a referral. </p><p><a href="https://1drv.ms/u/s!AteMwfraq_VuifJCyTrR0_zSJ9sMcw?e=6yhaIK" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">1drv.ms/u/s!AteMwfraq_VuifJCyT</span><span class="invisible">rR0_zSJ9sMcw?e=6yhaIK</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/indieauthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indieauthor</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amazon</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/kdp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdp</span></a></p>

Jan Thie<p>Another one now available at the Great Satan.<br>I wish there were other ways for a digichallenged amateur to get his books published but for me the Kindle Publishing route is the only way that works.<br>Mind you, I write to amuse myself and I see the publishing of these books as the end of a process and not as the start of a marketing/promotion phase.
