The draft2digital tax page is similar to Kdp"s. Just follow the steps and fill the necessary information as you did on Kdp. it's a requirement and you can't ignore it.

How's the sales like on D2D ? I'm thinking of trying it cos the Kindle promotion and KENP tin is too poor

mk82:

Sales are good on draft2digital. It gives you access to Apple, Barnes and Noble etc. Those 2 stores are next to kindle in sales. My d2d income takes care of household expenses while I keep Kdp and createspace for projects.

D2D is a great way to give new life to your old books and new books that are not getting reasonable kenp reads. I have a book there that gets more than 100 sales per month and it doesn't get up to 5 sales in Kdp.

After 1-2 months of publishing on kindle, any book that does not bring in at least 850 kenp reads (about $5) per month, I remove from Kdp select and publish on draft2digital after the select enrollment expires.

please mk8, godmother, ferhyntorlah, please also i notice that formating books to D2D IS a lil bit different from kdp please how do i go about all this.
help thanks

I believe you can do the formatting in MS Word. You have to hire an artist for the pictures. You can find them on upwork.com. Search for similar jobs to find out how much they charge per image then post your job. Get ready to spend a good amount of dollars. You have to describe each image in detail so they can get it right. Pay only when you are satisfied. Once you get the images, simply insert in the MS word and format as necessary.
Kindle also has a facility for creating children's books. Do some research on that.

mk82 can using a foreign dedicated vpn or relocating to a foreign country, take care of the tax issue?

the chunk of the pie collected by amazon is much

Thank you sir. When I was trying to even register my account with amazon they asked about the country my bank is located and Nigeria isn't there on their list. I hardly saw any African country. I don't know what I can do about that and their tax policy I dnt really get it. Pls how did you register

You wanna bypass Uncle Sam' 30% withholding tax? Lol. I don't think using a dedicated VPN will work.

Amazon doesn't work with IP, they work based on the data you provided in your account. You chose Nigeria as your country when you filled your tax information, didn't you?

The withholding tax rate would have been lesser if Nigeria had tax treaty (agreement) with the US, but unfortunately we don't!

Don't fill in any bank details yet, cheque will be chosen for you as default payment method. Just go on with the other parts of the registration. Go to payoneer.com and register an account. When they approve your payoneer card, an American bank account will also be given to you. After that, go to your kdp account and fill in the bank details.
**Check my previous posts for instructions on how to fill the tax pages.


Don't try using vpn with Amazon. They will find out and terminate your account. Relocating to another country may not solve the tax problem. Even if Amazon gives you 100% of the money, you still have to pay tax in that country and the tax may be more than 30%.
The best approach is to work on publishing good books that will give you a lot of money. When you make good money, you will not even remember the 30% tax. Calculate your income based on the 70% left after tax and focus on making that 70% as big as possible. That is what we do, and we are doing great!
