Katy, I think examples are essential to understanding what Amazon A+ content is, don’t you? And once you know what it looks like, you’ll start noticing it on book sales pages.

Good luck with your book!

Comment on Amazon A+ Content: Elevate your book’s Amazon page by Katy https://buildbookbuzz.com/amazon-a-content/#comment-46324 Wed, 14 Aug 2024 18:53:21 +0000 https://buildbookbuzz.com/?p=15121#comment-46324 I’ve seen a lot of talk about this recently in FB groups, but no examples, so thanks for including them.

I’m still quite a way from publishing my first book (as it’s a seasonal cosy which won’t be through beta reads and editing by that season this year) so hopefully I’ll have time to come up with some ideas!

for people who were less fortunate or across the world , yes the site was stealing the authors work etc,etc, i know its wrong , then why don’t they go international? or why are books so expensive to the extent that people have to resort to using such websites! some book lovers come from backgrounds where the price of a book might be their entire day’s worth of expenditure , by no means is that website right, I UNDERSTAND. We live in a world where for some books too happen to be a materialistic luxury , DON’T blame the readers for being freeloaders, there are some out there in the world who are barely making ends meet and hence , the fault is of the economy, NOT THOSE WHO SEEK A DAY OF REE HAPPINESS GIVIN BY THE WORDS FROM A BOOK.

Armando, any time you share your information with anyone, one-on-one or in a group or before a large audience, there’s a risk someone will take your ideas and do something with them. It’s a risk you have to make peace with. In fact, it’s happened to me with this blog. I don’t like it, but I realize it’s just how it is and move on.

Armando, have you consider crowdfunding for your book?

Hi Stacey,
Adding to Sandra’s question, how do I know if a book like mine is protected when delivering webinars related to it that have not yet been formatted? I am new to this game and need some help. I am open to any suggestions or recommendations. Thank you so much.
Best regards
Armando Leles Onhintie

You are not alone; I am in the same boat. I have written several books but can’t get one published due to financial constraints. One of the publishing companies I contacted is asking for $300.00, whereas I have to pay an upfront fee of $1500.00. If you find out how to get help, please let me know; I would really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your article.
