| After January 5, 2020 I will see how the give away goes before I decide on whether I will put any more of my eBooks back into Kindle Select / Unlimited. It will also determine whether I will publish any more eBooks on KDP. | Because “Erotic Western: Saving The Town” did generate some sales at one time I figured it was a good eBook to act as a canary in the coal mine. As some of you may know I have not had any eBook sales since April of 2019. |
| I am continuing the say unit tip system. If I can schedule the time I plan to start back doing youtube videos. For right now the Hearthville Serial will continue as part of the goals for the say units. |

| If you follow on me on twitter… That statement is almost a joke because I don’t think anyone really does. Regardless, I am pretty much finished there.All I am going do is link to my website up to 4x’s a day there and that is it. I am not contributing any more content there. I am finished.And to be honest, part of the content I have been putting there has not been good. Like for example I was going to do a joke if Democrats were to become the D word because being called a Democrat is quickly becoming an insult. Well, obviously, if you happen to be a Democrat that is not very funny. And that kind of stuff does not help me. In my defense though, if you are sitting there reading ultra liberal Democrat crazy shit on twitter trending topics, it is enough to cause one’s head to explode. I am not doing that any more either. |

| What am I politically? I believe in the social safety net. I believe there is a role for government but limited. I believe there is a role for large corporations but limited. I tend to support indie movements and small business. I am a strong supporter of free speech. I am tend to be basically libertarian but not to the extreme. I am an Independent.
I have nothing against world travelers who respect the indigenous/local people and do not try to steal from them or push them out. But I dislike Carpetbaggers and Globalists who act as invaders and attempt to make the locals their bitches. I believe strongly in the free enterprise system. I think Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism are all bullshit terms to confuse the masses and to try to help the “Feudal Lords” to stop their indebted slaves from rebelling. I think all three terms are used by lying politicians to fool the masses. History shows all three terms mean very little to the actual policies the political leaders have executed against their populations. For example, lying Democrats today are attempting to use the promise of free stuff under the auspices of socialism to execute the biggest government theft from the private sector, rich and poor alike, in the history of the universe … all to the benefit of the oligarchs/feudal lords who in truth just pass the government thefts they are forced to pay on to their customers while the oligarchs/feudal lords benefit from the government contracts and massive spending and the pacification of their indebted slaves. |

For KDP Amazon to have passed the test 8 to 12 eBooks would have needed to have been given away. They failed. I love Amazon. I will continue to promote Amazon. I will continue to shop at Amazon. But I will NOT publish any more eBooks with KDP Amazon unless they begin to generate paid sales. I can’t even give eBooks away through them. For right now I am not going to unpublish my eBooks with them but obviously I am not going to put any more eBooks into Kindle Unlimited unless there is some change. I will leave it at that.
There may be some outdated text you will see on some posts that indicates something contrary to that because I temporarily lost my brain and I was planning to publish more with KDP and doing Kindle Unlimited with more eBooks but no. That is not happening.
To be clear, to the people who downloaded my eBook from Amazon, thank you. I appreciate it more than you know.
My stories will continue here.
Well, I am glad that you will not put any more eBooks back into Kindle Select – Unlimited. I would rather read them on sayata.net anyway. But I know it sucks having trouble monetizing.
So are you still go to publish the next Hearthville eBooks on Amazon?
On the monetizing I have to figure something out.
I am NOT going to publish anything else through Amazon’s KDP. Amazon KDP did not just fail my test. They spectacularly failed my test.
I will continue to publish stories on sayata.net. I will continue to promote Amazon through its affiliate program. I will continue to shop on amazon. I love Amazon but KDP sucks. For many of us, it sucks really bad. For other people, it seems to work perfectly well.
I think the bottom line is if one or more of their employees targets you there, even though you have not done anything wrong, you are fucked. When an employee can get by with stripping all of the keywords out of your eBook listing or change your eBook to the wrong category or altering the formatting of the eBook so that the eBook loses its paragraph structure or manually deranks your eBook, all of that is WRONG and is fucked up.
I keep wishing things were different and thinking I might have been blowing things out of proportion but HELL NO. I am effectively shadow banned on KDP.
Anyway, the point is KDP is not an option for me. I have to get that through my thick head.
A reminder.
I fully expected today’s free day to go badly.
I am not shocked.
And to be clear even if sayata generates only 2 downloads and that is all, I thank you.
I am not going to go into details on what this test was but unless there is some major change in numbers, Amazon has already failed it. 2 downloads was enough for the test to work and prove to me what I basically already knew.
So anyway, I thank you all.
Do you believe Amazon’s KDP numbers?????????????????????????????????
It is hard for me to believe that sayata has not generated at least one sale since April.
I don’t know. The test purchase I did was tracked and I got credit.
And I am not totally sure about the traffic to sayata. It is just like part of the people on twitter who read my tweets fucking hate me so they obviously are not going to do anything to help me. Some actually block and mute me to try to damage my twitter account and then they still come to the profile either signed out or under another name looking to cause me problems.
I know I am not getting much traffic from search engines. Even though I have not done a youtube video lately, that is where part of the traffic originates. And they may simply not be interested in my eBooks. I understand that.
So anyway, yeah, it very possible that sayata is simply not generating eBook sales and Amazon’s reports are totally correct.
Wow. I know part of the count on this page is bots and such but 2 downloads is all from that amount of traffic. That sucks.
Man. That just sucks. I am so sorry.
The elite are taking over the internet. We are all f*cked.
I don’t know. It is sad. But that is life.
I will just write for my website and try to get some stores started where I sell to ship so I can try to start making more money.
What do you expect from the free day tomorrow?
I would download it but I already own it.
I expect it to go very badly. But how badly will help me decide on things.
