I am so excited about the followers number in Author Central! I had a lot more than I realized!! I am so fired up to get the next book out now!

Dale, could you do a little segment on the KDP fund, and what it's about, for those new to your amazingly informative channel?

[kevchilton]

Thanks, Dale. I rarely catch you live but I try my best to check-in. You're a world of information and give me some new tips each time I watch. For instance, I now have QR codes in the back of all my paperbacks. I needed to update my backmatter anyway so why not add them, right?
Question for you... Will you run through Amazon Attributions soon? Or have you and I missed it? That's been a Ginormous game changer for my Facebook ads. ROI jumped with that new data.

Second time listening. Lol I watched on my tv first and I can't leave comments there.

amazon closed my kdp account with out any reason, that's what happed yesterday with a fruend of mine

[TaniasWritingRealm]

hmm.. i've considered publisher rocket, i just wasn't sure if i was at that stage where i could afford it. Maybe once i release my high fantasy i'll check it out. That's where my long term plans lay.

No mal-intent for Findaway, but have they changed or removed the concerning parts of their agreement?

[risafey]

Really cool about the Amazon follower report! I have less and more followers than I expected 😆

[LostinMemory]

I was surprised I had any (30) followers. I think if you use mostly or all ai-tech for your stories it should be public domain. If it doesn't plagiarize from other stories.

D2D doesn’t do medium content books. Looking forward to seeing that happen soon.
Any other competitive suggestions?
Thanks for your podcast and videos. Very helpful -😊 what’s your email again to contact you?. Need some advice. Thanks
