After making over $200,000 in 8years publishing books on Amazon Kindle Platform,

Here are the top reasons why accounts get banned

So lately I have been seeing lots of Nigerians complain about their account getting shutdown. So I decided to create a thread to address it. So here are the top reasons I found out.
1. Publishing book just for the money - quality issue.

One thing I have realized about Nigerians is they don't care what's inside the book. All the want is to see dollar royalty lines in the kdp account.

Remember you aren't creating books for goats. It's real people that buy it
2. Copyright issue

Some people publish books on copyrighted keywords just because they see how easy to make money off someone else work.

It's totally wrong and this will get your account banned. There are smarter ways to create books that ride of bestseller list.
3. Using a trademarked word in your book metadata.

I got my oldest kdp account shutdown because of this, even though I have been doing this for long, I made this rookie mistake.

So always check the keyword you are going after for trademark.

4. Following half baked guru

I saw a video by someone here in Nigeria teaching people to edit PLR content and publish on Amazon Kindle platform.

Funny thing is this video had 1000s of views.

Don't ever do that. Amazon want original content.
5. Publishing content that isn't more than 90% plagiarism free.

For my team, I don't accept any book without passing copyscape with 0% plagiarism.

That's why my students never get their books blocked or account shutdown.
