In this video, I'm sharing The Copyright Mistake That Cost Me Six Figures on Amazon KDP!

What if you built a bestselling book on Amazon… and then lost all the income overnight?

In this video, I’m getting super real about the copyright mistake that cost me over $37,000 in passive income on Amazon KDP. 😭

If you're publishing on Amazon (or thinking about it), you must understand the difference between commercial use and copyright ownership—especially when using tools like Canva or AI-generated art.

I’m walking you through:

How my top-selling book got blocked by Amazon

The truth about Canva’s Pro license (and what it doesn’t cover)

How to protect your books with original work

The workaround I used to recreate the book (legally!)

What I learned from working with a copyright attorney

How AI and copyright interact today (and what might be coming)

Whether you're a beginner or scaling fast, this is a must-watch to keep your royalties safe.

Self Publishing Course Waitlist: https://selfpublishingcentral.com/waitlist

If I had to start my Amazon KDP publishing journey all over again in 2025, I would do things very differently.

After 7 years of self-publishing hundreds of low content books like journals, planners, coloring books, puzzle books and more, I’ve learned exactly what works, what doesn’t and the mistakes that can cost you months (or even years) of wasted effort.

In this video, I’ll break down the exact strategy I would follow if I was starting from scratch today:

✔ The biggest mistakes I’d avoid
✔ Why I’d balance low content with medium content for faster growth
✔ The best approach to build a real brand and repeat buyers
✔ How and what tools I’d use for research, design and optimization
✔ My step-by-step blueprint to go from zero to a profitable publishing business

Whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve been publishing for a while and feel stuck, this video will give you a clear path forward. Think of it as a shortcut through my 7 years of trial, error and lessons learned.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually make money on Amazon KDP without wasting months on books that don’t sell, this is the video you need to watch.

👉 Watch now, take notes and apply this strategy to start your self-publishing journey the smart way.
