I have very mixed feelings on this topic.
I was one of the ones that lost my job during lockdowns and found myself searching on the internet for online opportunities. That's where I came upon KDP and of course millions of youtube vids.
I was so green. I had no idea about none of it. Of course I jumped into the vids I found but still I was confused, like where is step A.
I finally gave in and purchased a basic KDP workshop. $$150 MISTAKE! Of course I didn't know at the time what a mistake it was and how basic the information in the program was. It was very well organized but very basic.
But I didn't give up. Next I took a $99 program, that was over the top, worth every penny. It went very deep into marketing..........right into the last module that strongly suggested that you needed to spend $500 PER BOOK buying ads on Amazon in order to get huge sales! What if you chose the wrong book to advertise?
That was the end of my KDP experience. I knew I would never be able to compete with the larger accounts that could afford massive advertising budgets.
So here I am with Zazzle, determined to do this without having to buy a workshop! BUT, zazzle is different than any other webstore I've had over the years. There is definitely a steep learning curve and the first thing I learned is that you can't fight the zazzle algorithm.......so it's time to step in line!
