In reply to Mohammad Enam Wak. Wak, I can't help with this. Do you use Facebook? There are many groups there for self-published authors. You might be able to get more information from group members. Sandy

Dear Sandra,
Thank you very much for your kind reply. However, I have still some questions.
If I don’t use KDP select, so which ‘select’ should I use? The ‘Ads’ select? If I use the ‘Ads’, should I use some fund to promote my book?
One more question:
Can I delete my book form amazon any time I want:
If a traditional publisher wants to publish my book, so then can I delete my book from amazon? Do I have the right?
Waiting for your kind response.
Best regard
Wak

In reply to Wak.

Hi Wak, 1, yes unless you’ve selected KDP Select. Then you can only sell it on Amazon. Just don’t use KDP Select. 2. You have to promote the book yourself. There are a number of things you can do, but your options depend your book, audience, time available, skills, and budget. You’ll find a lot of free how-to information here on this site.

Hello
I hope this email find you well.
I would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to respond my questions:
1, Cam I upload/publish my novel book (eBook, Print versions) simultaneously on two websites for example amazon and Apple Book?
2, How can I promote my book rather than amazon?
Waiting for your kind reply.
Best regard
Wak

Thank you for sharing such useful information.
I have just published my ebook on Amazon and Lulu and I am excited to exert the required marketing efforts to promote the book.

The book is titled “Repackage & Grow Rich”:

In reply to Hugh Roberts.

I’m so glad it was helpful, Hugh. Marketing is even *more* important for self-published authors because you’re completely on your own. And honestly, people won’t discover your books if you aren’t working to help those books get found.

Best of luck with the second one … but you can still market the first one, too!

Sandy
