Careful you don’t end up owing Amazon money!

Hi all! More bad news on the Amazon front:

This from Amazon itself: 

“A regular trim paperback with 300 pages, black and white ink, sold on Amazon for $8 now earns ZERO ROYALTIES.” (All caps mine.)

 

Here’s a link to my under-a-minute Facebook video, where you also get the added bonus of seeing yours truly wigless and hatless due to the heat … after all the bad weather, I ain’t complainin’! … THE LINK

 

[If you missed my previous post on this, you can find it HERE.]

Some Amazon Alternatives:

The big two globally are D2D (Draft2Digital) and Smashwords.
Many others, such as Kobo and Barnes and Noble (when I last tried), only accept authors based in the United States. As soon as I get the energy and time between hospital appointments and illness, I’ll see if any of those have changed their policy.

Sadly, D2D have now stopped paying by PayPal, and the only viable solution for me was the international bank transfer, which means I don’t see any money until I make a minimum of $10. Smashwords have teamed up with D2D, so I need to reacquaint myself with their policies and opportunities as well.

 

I’ll be back soon with updates about little ole me and the health stuff. Basically, all plans on hold but not my breath … managing to keep breathing through everything! 😉 I’m waiting for a gallbladder removal, and a recent CT scan showed breast lumps, which need further examination.
🤞🤞🤞, and everything else!, this doesn’t lead to anything else! My old saying of ‘Good luck, bad luck—who knows?’ holds true here as none of this would have been seen without that ‘lovely’ stomach bug from my darling, cute, grandson back in January!
… My, halfway through the year already!

 

Thanks for stopping by, and I sincerely hope you find this information useful 😊💗

  1. Hi Harmony
    Lovely to hear from you, even if it is gloomy news. I’ve got a breast lump too, but last time it turned out to be a water cyst, so fingers crossed for us both.
    I agree with John about Amazon. If they can get it wrong, they do.
    Love, Sarah xxx

  2. I loved seeing you today. Harmony. Yes, bad news from Amazon (when is the news from Jeff Bezos good? Thanks for sharing this information, and I always enjoy hearing from you.

  3. Hi Harmony,8 had to up the prices of all my paperback books on Amazon. Oh well, D2D isn’t an option for me as I can’t get any books delivered to South Africa that the publish and they are in b&w. All the best with the test results.
