Selling on Amazon KDP

Yes, you can publish Kindle books using Entrepedia products — but there are important considerations.

Can You Sell on Amazon?

Yes, you can use PLR content on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). However, Amazon has strict policies that require extra effort.

The Challenge: Duplicate Content

Amazon's policy prohibits "content that is freely available on the web" and content that's "substantially similar" to existing books.

Since PLR content may be used by multiple people, there's a risk that:

• Someone else published similar content first
• Your book gets flagged as duplicate
• Your submission gets rejected

How to Successfully Publish on Amazon

1. Make Significant Edits

Don't publish as-is. You need to make the content unique:

• Rewrite sections in your own voice
• Add new chapters with original insights
• Include personal stories or case studies
• Update statistics with current data
• Add examples specific to your expertise

Rule of thumb: The content should be at least 30-50% different from the original.

2. Combine Multiple Products

Create a more comprehensive book by combining topics:

Example:

• Take "Goal Setting Guide" + "Productivity Habits" + "Time Management Ebook"
• Combine into "The Complete Guide to Achieving Your Goals"
• Add your own introduction and connecting content

3. Create a Unique Cover

Don't use the included cover as-is:

• Design a completely new cover
• Use Amazon's cover guidelines
• Make it professional and eye-catching

4. Write Original Front and Back Matter

Add unique sections:

• Personal introduction
• About the Author (you!)
• Calls-to-action
• Resources and links

5. Add Supplementary Content

Include additional value:

• Worksheets
• Action plans
• Bonus chapters
• Resource lists

What to Avoid

❌ Publishing the ebook exactly as downloaded ❌ Using the same title as the original ❌ Using the included cover without modification ❌ Publishing multiple similar books quickly ❌ Copying content that's already on Amazon

Audiobooks on Audible

Want to create audiobooks? The same principles apply:

1. Make the content unique — Add your insights
2. Record yourself — Or use professional narration
3. Publish via ACX — Amazon's audiobook platform

You can use the content as a script and record your own version, adding personal commentary.

Alternative to Amazon

If Amazon's requirements seem too demanding, consider:

• Your own website — Full control, no restrictions
• Gumroad/Payhip — No duplicate content policies
• Etsy — For certain niches (planners, workbooks)
• Teachable/Thinkific — For course formats

These platforms let you sell with minimal editing required.
