![NEW Advice for 7 Amazon KDP Keywords | Self-Publishing News (Jan. 29, 2024)
The Kindlepreneur shared an updated strategy for maximizing the seven backend keywords slots on KDP. Streetlib updated their terms and conditions. An author loses his mind over a review. And, so much more this week in the self-publishing news.
Correction: I skipped two news pieces
- The Amazon Product Description - Amazon now offers more above the fold on product pages, meaning that they now show more description above the Read more option. Sorry for missing that item.
- Starting in February 2024, Google and Yahoo will require bulk senders to comply with new rules. These rules are mainly focused on three areas: Authentication - Authenticate outgoing emails using security protocols like DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. Spam threshold - Stay under a 0.3% spam complaint rate threshold. For example, if you send 1,000 emails, only 3 need to be marked spam to reach that threshold. If that happens, you could lose access to users inboxes. Unsubscribe - Provide a clear and easily accessible method for recipients to unsubscribe.
