This brother dropping the gems, of wisdom about how to make it happen thanks man.
Thanks so much for the kudos! đđđ
Can I use different pen names for my books with the same account or I must use the same name I registered in the author/publisher information field when opening the account? Also, can I open a KDP account with a company name instead of a personal name?
Yes (pen names).
Stick with one account. You can always transfer your current account with your name to a business entity.
Hi Dale, I would like to ask something: For adding the extra categories, do we have to send all of them in different emails? Can it be all in the same day? Also, how long should the paperback version be published after the ebook? And how long does it take to go live? Let me know, please đ
You can send the request all at the same time.
Publish the print at the same time as the ebook if you can help it.
Typically, it takes about 24-72 hours to publish.
Self-Publishing with Dale thank you sooo much !!
Itâs my pleasure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Dale, If you are in Canada and don't want to use your SIN # (Social Insurance Number), can you apply for a ITIN # to use instead? I have read that the ITIN # is also used for 30% Royalty Withholding? Thank ypu
I'm not sure. I'm afraid that would require some Googling on your part. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Hi Dale. Thanks for the explanation, but i have one question. Apparently I live in qatar which i believe a not supported region. Is it possible to make my account but using my husband's address and bank details since he live in the uk? thank you!
Hmm, to be honest, I don't honestly know. That sounds like it'd work. I'd recommend contacting KDP support. Scroll down to the bottom of the KDP site, then select Contact Us. They'll be able to give you a clearer answer.
Hi Dale, I wanted to ask you for some clarification. I am kinda confused on if I need to use my Amazon Customer Account when creating a KDP Account or can I create a separate KDP Account (not linked to my Customer Account) to solely publish my books? I don't want to risk creating a duplicate account and having Amazon shut me down. Thank you
You can sign into KDP with your existing Amazon log in credentials.
If you want to keep things separated from your personal, you'd need to create a business, like an LLC, and then create an account under that entity.
@@DaleLRoberts so to clarify, if you want to have a separate amazon account for your business donât open a KDP account under your personal account?
â@@DaleLRoberts investment?
Youâre the best! Thx Dale!
Thanks so much for the love.
Is that one person, one Amazon account? Or only one KDP account?
Only one KDP account.
Thanks Dale. I am right at this stage now. !! Will review step by step video next.!
Nice! I'm pumped for you, Darrell! I notice you've been a subscriber of the channel for the past year. That reminds me of Kevin Maguire. He was subscribed to the channel since about day one, but didn't really publish anything until 2 years into it. When he did - BOOM! His author brand exploded.
Keep us posted on your progress!
I have created my book but publishing is the problem, it keeps telling me This object is outside the margins, I have tried everything, re-edit for over 3 days now still the same thing, it's really frustrating đą
What to do please đ
This is God-sent bro! Lolol! Good stuff! All these questions....wow! Lol! đ
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the comment!
What if you don't have an Amazon customer account for selling? Can you still create the Amazon KDP and sell books?? Can you have audible? If you don't have an Amazon account, what are the qualifications for Amazon associates and creating an audiobook? Thanks
You donât need a sellers account. Just get an Amazon login and youâre set.
@@DaleLRoberts So long as you got an Amazon account, you don't have to be a prime member. Thanks
Hi Dale! Iâm from The Philippines, my country is not on the choices of to set up bank account is for the payment,whatâs the best choice for met to set up for the payment for my account? Thankyou. I hope you notice this.
I've heard Payoneer works well for account holders in the Philippines.
Thank you for the insight Dale
You got it!
Hello! I already have a business,LLC, with an EIN number as well. Since I want to separate my personal from business, do I need to create another business solely for KDP? Or can I use my regular business info for KDP? Sorry if thats a dumb question lol
You're the only one who can answer this question. If you already have a business, does publishing fit into it? If not, then you may want to create a new business. Are you really looking to make publishing a main business? If not, then you probably don't need to create a new separate entity. Think about it logically.
Thanks for your videos and Information it is really clear and helpful.
Glad to help. Stay tuned for more!
Hi Dale, I would like to ask a question.
While filling the form about "My Profile", there's a box that needs "Address Line 1" detail.
What address is needed right there?
Secondly, I'm a Nigerian and currently in Nigeria, how do I go about the Tax Information. Do you have any idea that can help me out?
They're asking for your physical address or business address. If you're using a business entity with your account, use your business address. Don't worry, they will NOT be sharing your address publicly, it's for Amazon only. And, as far as the tax info, I'm out of my element there. Contact KDP support for guidance on that. I don't want to mislead you or give you bad info. Taxes are NOT my forte and I'd only be able to guess. That's not good for either of us. haha
I am from India and 16yrs old and I am trying to publish through my parent's KDP account. Though I am having a question, whose tax information do I have to put, and since the bank details are of my parents, what shoul I answer following question?
Are you acting as an intermediary agent, or other person receiving payment on behalf of another person or as a flow-through entity?
Great questions. I don't really have the answers. Contact KDP. They will be able to guide you much better than I can. From your KDP dashboard, scroll all the way to the bottom and click the Contact Us link.
@@DaleLRoberts thanks!
Thank you! Very helpful video!!
You're welcome!
Hi. Im 17 years old and i dont know how to deal with the tax information. I don't have older one to guide me rn so im hoping if u could help me. Pleaseee!!
Contact KDP directly. There's a Contact Us link in your Dashboard. Scroll all the way to the bottom. You'll get your best answer from them.
Iâm in the same boat! Did you figure out what to do??
Great video-thank you. When you say open only one account - I have an Amazon account where I buy from. Should I use that for KDP as well, or open a specific KDP Account ?
Yes, use the same account login for the Amazon marketplace. Could you use a separate login? Yes, but it'll create confusion and could create a false positive if you accidentally login with the wrong account. Save yourself the trouble, just use the Amazon account login.
Hi ! I'm in Canada and I never worked so I dont have this tax information (i dont know what it is) so I would like to be sure about what exactly I need to give as informations to pubish my books. Social assurance number ? Bank account number ? Any other information ? Are they necessary ?
Tax information is something you have to work to get, unfortunately. We are normally set up with it from birth. In the U.S., it's our social security number. So, it would be the Canadian equivalent to that, I would think.
Thank you - this was very helpful. Iâve just signed up and created my account. Went through the whole process but I still donât have access to marketing books like you do. There are books for me to choose from. Is it because Iâm new? Could you please help?
You have to publish books through this platform to access the marketing tools. Since you're brand new, I'm assuming you haven't published any books, right?
@@DaleLRoberts not yetâŠok, that makes sense - thank you!
Hey I'm new to your channel and I was wondering if I could ask a question..my question is, " Do you need something like a reseller permit, here in texas its called a sales and use tax ..if you want to make this an official business along with getting your llc and ein number.
No, you'd only need it if you plan to buy and self-fulfill print orders. Now, I still recommend having a business entity, but that's legal advice, so I can't really dispense that. I recommend consulting an attorney about the appropriate steps for you and your business needs. But as for the reseller license, you won't need that unless you plan on stocking inventory and shipping it.
@@DaleLRoberts thank you so much
Thanks for the valuable information. My question: I have a PO Box since I live about a 1/2 mile off the main road on a lake. Many of us have PO Box mailing addresses here. Is it OK to sign up for KDP under the PO Box. My bank account statements are mailed to the PO Box.
I don't recall address being a huge thing during the sign-up process. In fact, if you just go to kdp.amazon.com, you should be able to log in with your Amazon account credentials.
Hi Dale,
Please clarify this for me. I started an LLC to keep my self publishing venture a separate business. If I open up an Amazon business account, can it have its own KDP account? I already poked around on KDP some months ago using my normal Amazon credentials (for my personal account) just to see how it worked, but that was before I understood the value of having an LLC, and publishing my books separately as part of a business. Now that I know better, I would like to have an Amazon KDP account tied to my business, and not to my personal prime account. How can I do this without violating any rules? Please explain, because I can't find any clear answer about whether a) this is allowed, and b) what the process is.
Thanks so much,
Joey
You can open a KDP account with your business entity. If you have a KDP account already opened, I'd recommend reaching out to support to help you transition it to your business. It's a rather simple process I did a long time ago. Heck, you might even be able to just change from your personal ID to your business ID.
As for using your personal Amazon account - it won't affect your customer account. You can use a different login for your KDP account. Just do NOT open two KDP accounts. They will terminate you for that.
@@DaleLRoberts First of all, thank you. Second of all, now I am even more confused, as your last paragraph seems to contradict what the KDP rep said, when I asked her. Her words below:
"You can open a new Amazon Business account and with the same email address and password you can then sign in to KDP to start publishing your books. You will not be flagged for having 2 KDP accounts, because each account is separate and individual.
Once you created your new Amazon Business account, you can use your Amazon account information to sign in on kdp.amazon.com"
Who is wrong here? This is super important.
@@DaleLRoberts Just FYI, I received this email from KDP after i left my first comment here, to which you replied to promptly (thanks; subbing.) However, her reply makes it sound like it would be no big deal to have a business KDP account separate from the account I just poked around on while checking out KDP with my own prime credentials (and not publishing anything, or putting in tax info). Your description of the rules seems to differ from hers, and leaves me deeply worried. I have also seen other prominent youtubers showing things on KDP and specifially mentioning that this (what they're showing) is not their real business KDP account, but just a personal account they're using to show things. Who is correct here? Can I not trust with this KDP rep is saying?
Not being contentious, but I am very concerned. I have a book all ready to go to upload to KDP, but now I'm kind of scared out of my mind I'm going to mess it all up.
Well, you could go with that one rep if you want. Obviously, they have more of an inside scoop on things. BUT, I can say, you're playing with fire. Just do one account. Close out or merge the accounts, and keep it as one. Reps have been known for being wrong.
In theory, so long as you had two separate tax IDs and bank accounts for each KDP account, you're good. Just don't make the mistake of mixing the two up.
Again, I recommend you stick with one, that way you don't live to regret it.
@@DaleLRoberts I decided to go with one, like you said. Don't need the stress of always wondering if it will be problem. Thanks for the advice.
*are no books to choose from. So frustrating cause I spent a lot of time signing up.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. You have to publish your books on this platform for them to show in your Bookshelf.
Hi there. Is there any way to get around putting your SIN in the tax interview? ( Iâm Canadian and mama always said: donât give your SIN # out). Why canât we just make money and then claim what we make on our Canadian tax return?
Because Amazon is a US-based company. It's not your taxes they're worried about, it's theirs too. Every business has to account for earnings and expenses, then reported. So, no, there's no way around it.
Thank you for the informative video was very helpful, but here's one question as a student with no income how I am supposed to give my tax ID to Amazon? What am I supposed to do so? Any1 can help?
Your tax ID is your social security number if you're in the US. I'm sure most countries have an equivalent.
Thanks for all information. I have almost finished writing my book. I think I can to handle all these steps, so is there any place or company who can help me create KDP account and upload my manuscript on Amazon?
It's best to handle your account yourself. You need to add banking information, it's connected to your Amazon account, and Amazon has some hefty 2-factor authentication that makes hiring this out nearly impossible. I recommend handling this yourself.
@@DaleLRoberts
Thank you very much. Do I have to make Business account for Amazon or just my checking account is OK?
Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Really appreciate the information. At the 2:50 mark you mentioned where you enter your real name and information as you set up your account, under author/publisher information. My question is, when I go to upload the book, is that where I put my pen name? I just want to take every precaution in remaining anonymous. From my understanding the information when setting up your account is not available to the public. Like you said, the information when setting up your account is in good hands.
No, you are able to specify the author during the publishing process. This is where you would put your pen name. Your account information is private.
@@DaleLRoberts Thank you for the info and here's a follow-up question. I bought an ISBN number with an imprint of Primal Painter Publishing. On the Account>Author/Publisher>Full Name box, should I put that publisher name or the legal name connected to my Amazon account?
@@primalpainter whoever owns the imprint is what you should put there. If you have a business, then put the DBA there.
@@DaleLRoberts Thank you for the quick response. I hate to be a dumbass, but it happens! To clarify, I should put Primal Painter Publishing in this box or my own real name since I own the imprint? When I bought my ISBN number, I assigned the name Primal Painter Publishing and have that on the back cover and title page. I sell artwork on Amazon as Primal Painter, this is my first book so I don't know jack, and I know how picky Amazon can be about certain things, so I appreciate the clarity!
@@primalpainter if your company owns the imprint, put the company name on it. Beyond that, consult a business attorney about what is right for you.
Hi Dale. I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm struggling to find the answer, and I'm hoping you can help. I'm trying to make a KDP account with my business email. I own a partnership LLC. However, the very first pieces of information KDP asks for are whether I am an individual or corporation. If I select corporation, it asks for the date I was incorporated. So that seems like the wrong choice, since I'm not incorporated...but am I technically making an "individual" account? I'm so afraid that I'm going to fill something out wrong. I've been looking all over for an answer, but I haven't found anything concrete. If you see this, thank you for taking the time to read it. And if not, well, thanks for the great video anyway đ
Well, you're not a corporation, so you should fill it out as individual.
I have an LLC as well and I haven't had any issues.
@@DaleLRoberts THANK YOU so much!
You got it!
Hi is it best to create a new Amazon account that is tied to my business checking account & my llc since the book will go under my llc? Or is it best to do so with my regular shopping Amazon account that I use? I want to do this for my 1st childrenâs book
That's 100% up to you. But, it probably is a good idea to have your KDP account associated with your business. Just don't open two accounts. If you have your KDP account currently listed under your personal info, you can probably ask them to switch it to your business. Reach out to support through the Contact Us link in the bottom of your KDP dashboard.
@@DaleLRoberts thanks a lot
Dale, someone broke into my home and much of my paperwork was stolen. I may be forced to open another account. What can I do to stay in good standards with Kindle. I don't remember my old sign up information, or password. It was quite some time ago?
I'm sorry to hear that.
You need to reach out to Amazon KDP directly. Your old account should be attached to an email address. Do you not what it was or have access?
If you DO have access, you can just do a Forgot Password and recover your account that way.
Having multiple account is against the KDP terms of service, so you don't want to open another account unless you're advised to do so by KDP.
If you DON'T have access to the email account you signed up with, then I don't know. Be better organized going forward.
Your KDP credentials should be the same as your Amazon account.
What company do you use to print hard copy?
I like IngramSpark, but am looking into Bookvault for my next big releases.
What can be added in tax information if person does not have enough money to pay tax?
Well, you won't pay any taxes if you don't make any money. But, since you're going to be publishing books to a platform that you'll sell them, then you need to put your tax info. There's no way around it.
@@DaleLRoberts Thanks for your prompt response.You are doing great work.I joined your Facebook group and from there I watched your channel.Its very helpful.I really appreciate your help.Stay blessed.
Awesome! Hit me up in the comments here or in the Facebook Group should you have any questions.
Just got interested in this. Be good to see a follow up with change and if there is an app option. Thanks
The process is still the same and there's no app, you have to set it up through a browser.
@DaleLRoberts thanks for the quick response buddy. Does the mean the app I saw for it is a fake? I'm always cautious of this. Cheers again.
Yeah, there's DEFINITELY no app for KDP. If there is it'd have to be brand new and the KDP team would be hiding it from me. I speak with their team on the regular and if they rolled out an app, I'd probably be the first to hear. Steer clear of that app for now. Don't want you to be taken for a ride.
@DaleLRoberts thank you brutha. Much appreciated!
Can you publish with KDP and another platform at the same time?
You sure can! I even encourage it. Fair warning: do not opt your ebook into KDP Select if you plan to distribute to other platforms.
Hi . I just want to ask as students i don't have any tax related documents what should I do
Contact support for assistance.
It wouldn't accept my EIN but took my social would that cause an issue?
Well, it's going to cause the tax responsibility to fall on your individually rather than on your business.
Just want to ask, what if you are an expat, you don't have a fixed address yet, or bank account yet?
No dice. These are things you need to have in place in order to publish on KDP.
@@DaleLRoberts aaawww
Sir, I am from India. 1). Without Payoneer Account, Can I get Payments to my local bank account for selling my ebook in kdp?
2). Is Payoneer Account mandatory, do I pay any charges for maintaining the Account?
1) I don't know, you'll have to contact KDP support for that answer.
2) Again, you'll have to ask Payoneer that. I think they do have some fees.
How do I setup check payment and how do I get a tax number I'm having a hard time
I believe if you don't submit your bank account information, then Amazon will just send out a check. To get a tax number, you can either use your social security number if you're doing business as yourself or you can register your business as an LLC and get an EIN number. That's the business equivalent to a social security number. It's not easy. There's a fee and it's a lot of paperwork.
I have not bank account so it will proceed or not and will i get the royalty in cash or Google pay if i have not the bank account pls help sir .
Use Payoneer, it functions like PayPal and a checking account.
Like how much do I need for kdp registration
How much what? It doesn't cost anything.
Is it possible to open a kdp account, upload book manuscript & cover, before entering tax info? My question relates to me helping others publish their books under their account from my home computer before they add financial info later before publishing. That is, I want to help others publish, but I don't want access to their financial info.
To my knowledge, no. Check with KDP support and maybe they can help guide you.

a quick question many may know, say i make $75 in January it is under the $100 payment threshold, does it carry over to the next eligible payment that i get. For Example, I make the $75 above but $150 for the next 3 mos will my first payment be a combo of the $75 and next months $100? how many months is the carry over eligible (if it is)?
Yes, it carries over. There's no limit. They'll keep carrying it over till you hit the threshold.
Hey dale , invest is necessary for kdp account??
You don't need to spend any money to use a KDP account.
Hi, can you creat amazon kdp account while you already have amazon seller account?
Yes.
Hi Dale! Thanks for the content. I recently uploaded my first book to ebook to KDP and am using IngramSpark to distribute the paperback. I noticed my book reviews are separated out by individual region and not synching together on Amazon's global site. So I reached out to customer support and they said they can't find my email address on record for my seller account. Right then I found out I have to pay fees to create the seller account and was wondering if I totally missed that step in the setup process? Is setting up a seller account for an ebook that I am selling for 99 cents something we should do when self publishing through Amazon? Thanks!
You probably called the wrong line. Contact KDP support through the bottom of your dashboard at âContact Us.â Youâd remember if you set up a Seller Central account. Itâs completely different than this tutorial.
How do we create our account if we plan to use a pen name ?
Use your real information. You can create the pen name within that.
@@DaleLRoberts : would I add my pen name on the line for 'legal name' , or does that need to be my real name for payment purposes ?
No, put your legal name or business name.
Do we put individual or business on the tax part?
If you donât have an official business entity, then go with individual.
I'm an agent/officer of a 501(c)(3) registered in California. We have our organizational EIN and our tax letter. I'll pay our fees with an organization credit card. We want to publish under our imprint. Should I register us with my email account, an organizational email account, or should I create a specific email account to serve our press?
Stick with an account associated with your organization.
Hi Dale sir, I've got a question. I'm working on a book where I'll put small sizes emojis, around 30 or 40 maybe. I've downloaded them from internet and I'm pretty much sure I've downloaded them from free sites. So, will I get in trouble if I upload it in KDP?
Ooo, Iâm stumped. Youâll have to contact support for an answer.
@@DaleLRoberts ok I will, no probs
hey Dale, if for example my amazon kdp account is banned, can i still use it for normal amazon shopping and i also use same account for amazon affiliate links. what you recommend
Yep, those accounts are completely separate. Of course, I can't guarantee that, but from what I've heard from others, KDP account closure does not affect the other accounts.
I have an Amazon account and I sell physical books.
Do I use the same account for kdp?
If you're an Amazon seller, you can do both.
Hello, thank you very much for the videos, they are really interesting and useful.
I would like to know what I can do in the following situation: I am an American citizen, but I have dual nationality, I live in Peru under my Chilean nationality, but in the United States I have my social security and my bank accounts.
When I fill out the information in Amazon, I plan to put my United States, bank and social security information, but I would like to publish as an editorial brand, because I have two different types of material, one for children and the other for non-fiction that is not for children. What I can do?
Thank you very much I hope you can help me with some advice
You can publish those in the same account. It goes to the same place.
Please am a Nigerian, which bank and the bank should I use
I donât know. Ask support. If they donât support Nigerian banks, consider Payoneer.
Please tell me that can I publish my short stories written in magazines 20 years ago as kdp ebook sir
You can publish your short stories written in magazines 20 years ago as kdp ebook. So long as you have the rights to your written content, you should be good to go. If you're not sure, consult the magazine that used your piece. They may have a contract with you that I don't know about, so you'll want to make absolutely sure before you publish your previously published work from a magazine that's from twenty years ago.
Do you have to have an Amzon account to open up a KDP Kindle account?? Can I just open the KDP only?? Thanks.
Yes, youâll need an Amazon log-in to access KDP. You donât have to spend any money, itâs simply a log-in. Thatâs it.
Hello Dale. Thank your videos. I have a kdp account for publishing. Can i also have an amazon business account on the same account?
I don't understand what you're asking. If you asking if you can have two separate KDP accounts, no. You can't. Reach out to KDP support for a clearer answer.
hi dale, is it available in the phillipines, what payment method are use to get paid?
Yes, and I hear Payoneer works well for folks in the Philippines, though I can't personally attest to it.
Do I need to open business bank account for that?
A business account is not required, but if you plan to make your publishing efforts a business in the future, it's not the worse idea.
any other sites to print books ?
Draft2Digital.
Hi Dale - many thanks for another great video. Can my partner and I each have our own KDP account or can you only have one per household? Could we inadvertently get banned by having an account each and each publishing our own books? Many thanks đ
My wife and I have managed to have separate accounts. Make sure you maintain separate accounts with different tax IDs, bank accounts, and login emails.
What about the publisher address
Same address, no issue.

Yes and no. You don't have to pay anything upfront, but they function on a revenue share model where they get a percentage of each sale.
Hi Dale, where is the option where you add the pen name?
Dean Deano you add the pen name in the same spot as the author name. Thereâs not a special spot for pen names.
@@DaleLRoberts I'm confused a bit about that, so when you complete the personal information form doesn't that mean your real name? How do some people publish under many different pen names?
Dean Deano set up your account with your name, not the pen name. When you go to publish a book, use your pen name in the first step of the upload. That simple.
@@DaleLRoberts ah now it makes sense, I haven't got to that part yet to uploading my first book so haven't seen that option but makes sense now thanks
Yeah, itâs way easier than most people know. But, you donât have to worry about the account information being public facing. Only KDP sees that.
Do you know if I would still own the rights to my book if I use their free ISBN?
Yes.
do you have to have it copy righted to publish? I know they ask about it
No, but it's nice to have.
@@DaleLRoberts we get two choices in kdp either copy rights or public which one do we pick. because one only gives us 30% and the other one gives us 70% we're a little confused about that so if you can help us that would be nice
what if im trying to create my KDP account but when trying to put my phone number the otp never comes? Is because my country?
I'm not sure, ask KDP support.
@@DaleLRoberts ok, thanks for answering me
Hey Dale,
Hope you are well.
Great video full of tips đ
Iâm based in the UK and Iâm looking to setup a KDP account. Iâm stuck on the Tax & Treaty benefits section.
The question on the forum is :
Do you derive the income for which you are claiming treaty benefits?
If I select yes then the following question is a drop-down list named Limitation on benefits.
Iâm having troubles understanding this last section.
Look forward to your response đ
Sadly, that's outside my wheelhouse and understanding since I'm in the US. Reach out to KDP Support by clicking on Contact Us at the bottom of your dashboard. The rest is fairly intuitive.
@@DaleLRoberts Iâll give that a shot đ
Thanks đ
So, I have a personal account with Amazon, that I published a couple ebooks with. Now, I'm starting a self-pub business where I will someday collaborate and publish anthologies with other creators work, which obviously I don't want to do just under my personal name. If Amazon hates multiple accounts, what should I do? Delete my personal account, or do I have to convert it to my business account?
Why donât you ask them? You havenât opened a second account yet, so itâs best to consult them. Track all your conversations. To get in touch with KDP, scroll to the bottom of your account, then select âContact Us.â The rest is intuitive.
So is that completely free ???
Yep! No cost. Pretty cool, right? Think of it like videos are on CZcams. Except in this regard, it's books on KDP.
@@DaleLRoberts You are doing very good job since i have subscribed to your channel at least month ago still watched your most videos. There are very few type of informative channels on CZcams specifically in book publishing category. Which makes us very useful so thank you. And last question, If we publish our book from kdp did we have to promote our book or they will look into that??
Sorry..correct me if i'm wrong..do i need to register new account for kdp or i just use the existing amazon account to publish in kdp?
Use your existing one if you already set one up.
@@DaleLRoberts I have a Seller Central account. No KDP account yet. Should I open KDP account through my Seller Central email or I can use another account (I have an old buyer account)?
Irina Lebedeva just use the same email to set up an account. It makes it easier for logging in later. That way you donât have to constantly log in and out when youâre ducking in and out of account types.
@@DaleLRoberts Thank you so much!
Irina Lebedeva thanks for watching and commenting.
If one llc gets shut down why does the other have to be affected
I'm not sure what you're asking. Since it's a legal question, I recommend contacting an attorney.
@@DaleLRoberts no need i havent been shut down but your statement comes from a personal stand point not a business one
Hi dale, I'm outside the US
(Africa) do I still get a chance to run a kdp account
Yes.
Hi dale I would like to ask you a question
Ask away.
For KDP, will my address be shown to the public?
Absolutely not.
What do I fill in on the space for postal code
Your postal code.
i dont work, how can i fill tax form?
Contact support, they'll assist you.
How can you create a KDP account for Nigerian?
It should work the same way as everywhere else. Reach out to KDP support should you have questions. Scroll to the bottom of your dashboard or on the KDP landing page. Then, select contact us. The rest is intuitive.
@@DaleLRoberts okay .. thank you so much
is a TIn the same as UTR? can i have a buying account email and a kdp email just for writting
I'm a sole trader with an accountant. and a UTR number.
I have no idea what a UTR is. I'd recommend consulting a CPA to get the best advice.
Unquie tax reference number
Dale, thanks for this video.Im having an issue with the Tax thing.Im a Nigerian and I have been out of job now for sometime,but I do freelance, now, how do I get the Tax information? because I'm thinking that's what's stopping me from getting into KDP.please,what do I do?
Contact KDP directly and see if they can advise you on how it works for your country.
Hello Termitope. Nice question there. This is normal what hold Nigerians down if they want to engage in Amazon kdp. I was wondering if you reached out to kdp customer care and what was their reply?
Can you sell a ebook on kdp?
Of course.
Hi Dale,can I do this while in Kenya?
Iâm not sure. Check with them.
Where can I find the information that I could use to fill out the tax form? Are there any documents that I can refer to? Is there some way for me to fill this out myself or do I really have to get an accountant? Iâm not even sure where I can find an accountant for this purpose.
The tax form is pretty much your run of the mill information: name, address, etc.
I'm sure if you research how to fill out a W9, you'll get the answers you need. Otherwise, you can reach out directly to KDP via their Contact Us link at the very bottom of your dashboard.
Brother pls help is this okay that I use my name on the publisher/author information but when I filled up the Tax Information Interview, I used my mother's name and her TIN value. Pls is this fine aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You should put your own tax information. If you're under age, here's some information on how to handle that in the U.S. - turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/family/tax-filing-requirements-for-children/L8ice6z0K
You'll need to refer to the tax law in your own country. Disclaimer: I am not a tax expert.
@@DaleLRoberts ohh bunch of thanks!!!
