You go to authorcentral.amazon.com and create ur author page on the author page u will see where it will show u how to add your books,your author page will contain your biography... just hype yourself and say anything good about yourself,how u started writing since when u were 2years old....how you have written interesting books that even Mandela read your book when he was in primary school..

on a serious note,just write about yourself,hype your book and add your books to the author page.

If only people know the power Google possesses, they would be saved a whole lot of stress.

Based on what I've read thus far, I'm sorry to say that youths of today want to be spoonfed.

Crazymommy, you have the patience for this. Kudos to you.

For those who keep posting image MP upandan:
Image MP = Image resolution (width x height) / 1,000,000

If your image is less than 4MP, forget it. If you enlarge it, you will only distort the image clarity/sharpness. (whatever that's called)

If you want to use your phone camera to snap, adjust the camera setting to 4MP and above.

Please don't ask me how to go about it. You know your phone more than I do. So Do It Yourself.

Thanks

Nobody from the learned ones here was even ready to listen to that funshyxxxx whatever guy.

I have this same problem, I took a picture with a 5mp phone, but shutterstock rejected it all for being less than 4mp. They were less than 1600*xxxx in resolution for reasons I don't know.
I'm not a dullardd, so I've checked my phone settings, and I see they were shot in a 4mp mode.

I was going to ask on this thread what was happening, but was put off by the sometimes needlessly harsh manner of the OP, so I tried google, and haven't gotten anything meaningful in days.

Now, OP you've done a good job, but you could be less condescending when responding to issues

The fact is nobody even uses a phone less than 5mp in 2016, so that guy's problems wasn't his camera being less than 4mp.


Funshyboi, I'm going to ask; do you use a Lumia?
Maybe that's the reason.

africanman85:

you will put all the pictures on Microsoft word,you will now make sure that you insert one picture per page so that the 100 pictures will turn to 100pages on Microsoft word.

Pls check and see d particular place I went wrong thanks mama.

you are getting it wrong...open Microsoft word ,attach all your pictures into the Microsoft word then save it and upload it as a book which will just be a single file.....

That tax wahala has really dealt with me. Well I was doing Createspace's 'Tax Interview', filled their forms as a non-US resident, but surprisingly this was where I landed. Please, Crazymommy am I safe here?

And this is from Draft2digital(dot)com. Does is it mean that non-US residents are liable to 30% tax deduction?

Yeah you are safe...you did it rightly...

ugotex85:

Yes if your books are sold on the US market...for example if you get sales on amazon UK market,Germany market etc.. nothing will be deducted but if it is the amazon US market they will deduct 30%..

Thanks... I couldn't solve the ish though, but I'm still looking.
I guess only a 8mp phone camera will do.

Mail them that you do not have a passport or get a passport but if they insist that it is only the passport they will allow from u then just focus on amazon....I used passport though on shutterstock...

Crazymommy thank you so much for this thread, now waiting for my card, almost through with my photo book, can't wait

Crazymommy, permit me to chip in here.

Africanman85, why don't you save yourself from unnecessary stress by highlighting all the images then click insert. All your images will be inserted into Word at a go. No need to keep repeating the process one after the other.

Insert all your images into a single word document.

crazymommy:
Mail them that you do not have a passport or get a passport but if they insist that it is only the passport they will allow from u then just focus on amazon....I used passport though on shutterstock...

It is clearly stated on their website that they prefer international passport.

I strongly advise you get an international passport.

Gracias bro, im not using a lumia, I use infinix zero which has 13mp and initially I wanted to take photos but came across where OP suggested one could download pictures from pixabay, re edit and upload on shutterstock/amazon which I thought back then it would be faster and better option than going around and take pic myself but have forgotten pics downloaded can't be more than 4mp or so. googled it out on how mpxles can be increased but found out its not possible.

came on here to relay my issues then I gat all the bashings even from those who are not concerned.

will be happy if you can help out

expire year is 2017

just got back from post office where i checked to check the P.O. Box i gave to get my master card, landed since june 13th.
Now activated.


crazymommy, thanks for the reply on how to use my author page. I will work on that

crazymommy:
Yes if your books are sold on the US market...for example if you get sales on amazon UK market,Germany market etc.. nothing will be deducted but if it is the amazon US market they will deduct 30%..

Thanks a lot. Let me now proceed to Author central to create my author page.
