IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR PUBLISHER ROCKET, HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO GET KEYWORDS FOR YOUR BOOKS.

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

Today, we will be discussing how you can get profitable keywords for your book if you don't have money for Publisher Rocket yet. As we delve into our discussion, be sure to take note of every detail we cover.

Have you been to a pharmacy to get a drug and you don't actually know the name; how do you do it?

That's how I want you to imagine your potential buyers when they visit Amazon in search for books.

In this post, you'll be learning of the PDEP formula I use to get profitable Keywords to sell my books. And you'll be applying same (If you wish)

PDEP stands for Pain points, Desired results, Emotional amplifiers, and Demographic.

1. PAIN POINTS - Let's Understand Your Readers:

You know that feeling when a book truly speaks to your soul? When the name of a drug already screams your problems?

That's it. What is the problem your reader is likely facing?

- Are they looking for ways to tackle the issue of "How to Stop being overweight"?

Understanding these pain points will help you craft powerful keywords that resonate with your readers' needs and readily position your book for when they come searching.

2. DESIRED RESULTS - Let's Inspire Transformation:

Imagine your readers picking up your book and being captivated by the possibilities it offers. They'll be inspired by the outcomes they can achieve. Whether it's:

- Unraveling the secrets of "How to Lose Weight" effectively

Your book's solutions have the potential to be life-changing, and you want to ensure potential readers know it too.

3. EMOTIONAL AMPLIFIERS - Adding Zest to Your Keywords:

Emotions are powerful drivers, and you want your keywords to evoke curiosity and excitement. Just imagine your readers finding your book with keywords like:

- "How to lose weight fast" – igniting their motivation to take action right away

With these emotional amplifiers (fast), you make the path your book offers towards their journey of transformation easy, fast, or preferable.

4. DEMOGRAPHIC - Connecting with Your Ideal Audience:

Your book is unique, and it's meant for a specific group of people who will cherish it the most. Learn to personalize your keywords to resonate with that audience. For instance:

- If your book empowers women, you will optimize for "Weight loss for women."

If you go through these 4 methods listed above, you will see that the keywords were all targeted for weight loss but from different angles. Understand that your readers do not necessarily know your book's name. So, they search their problems, desired results, emotional deficiency or demography applications to find books to apply to them and you have to be there when they arrive.

Activity: for your next book, I want you to apply the PDEP method and obtain 4 unique keywords.

But that's not all. Amazon is a big search engine for products. You must optimise your PDED keywords to become searchable on Amazon. To do that

1. Write out different phrases or topics related to your title based on PDED. As many as possible.

2. Type each of them into the Amazon search bar.

3. Copy out the suggestions from Amazon

4. Repeat step 2 & get many keywords

Sort out your keywords into

those related to your book &
those not related to your book

search them on amazon & view their competition &/or profitability.

Apply the methods thought during the research (in your course) to refine the keywords

You can also use Publisher Rocket or KDSPY to analyse keywords

BONUS

To get extra Keywords for cookbooks and travel guides, you can Analyse words related to your book:

e.g for Atkins diet Cookbook, words like
weight loss,
atkins,
keto diet etc

will help you in targeting your buyers.

For Travel guide to France, words like
Tour guide to france,
Paris Travel, etc.

I will stop here for now. Just keep in mind that the keyword game is an ever changing one and methods will be discovered or improved over time.

I hope you find this tips helpful. Let me know your thought about it in the comment section.

3 SECRET PLACES TO ADVERTISE YOUR BOOK INSIDE YOUR BOOK ON KDP

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

Today, we will be discussing 3 Secret Places You Can Advertise Your Books Inside Your Book On KDP. As we delve into our discussion, be sure to take note of every detail we cover.

As your heart beat and time ticks, new problems are being solved, new algorithms are programmed, new methods are developed and new discoveries are made.

If you fail to find out every new wave in your business, you’ll soon be kicked out of that business.

This applies to our publishing business too.

If you fail to discover new updates and methods, your book will be lost in the pool of books and only the smart publishers will keep printing dollars.

There are 3 new places to advertise your book, right inside your book to maximize sales and make more money monthly.

1. INTRODUCTION: While you expect buyers to read your introduction that should convince them to buy, you should stylishly advertise other books in that section.

Let’s say your book title is Divorce Prevention for Women.

Somewhere in your introduction, you’ll just say “I have a lot of books about marriage, relationship and divorce and this is just one of them”.

You’ll continue by making reference to your other books like “in my book, How to Strengthen Your Marriage”, I also explained the secrets to a successful together forever.

See what you did there? You’ve told this person that you have a lot of other books and one that’s talking about tightening marriage bond.

Imagine someone looking to prevent divorce reading this.

You’ve not only positioned yourself as an authority. You’ve also pushed or persuaded them to checkout your other books.

2. MIDDLE OF YOUR BOOK: Let’s say you have a 120 page book. On page 50, you can recommend other books related to that title.

Let’s say you have 3 books about diabetes titled:

1. Diabetic air fryer cookbook
2. Smoothies for Diabetes Management
3. Type 2 Diabetes Diet Cookbook

And the one you are currently writing is “Plant Based Diabetes Cookbook”.

On page 50, you can recommend those 3 diabetes cookbooks above by copying and pasting their links for kindle, and converting the link to QR code for paperback and hardcover.

While doing so, you won’t just post the links of QR code.

You’ll engage them and make them see reasons why those books are important.

Example:

- Do you have an air fryer and would like to spend less time making healthy delicious diabetic friendly meals, I strongly recommend this “Easy Diabetic Airfryer Cookbook” that has 80 mouthwatering low carb - low sugar recipes.

- Smoothies are easier to make and fruits are rich in fiber and antioxidants to boost your immune, reset your system and lower your blood sugar level.

- If you will like to achieve a healthy diabetic free life by taking nutritious customizable smoothies, this “Smoothies for Diabetes Management” is the best book for you, with over 60 easy to make recipes.

3. END OF THE BOOK: Why Will you let a customer read your book to the end and let them go like that?

For them to have read from beginning to the last page, they enjoyed reading it.

So take advantage of that and advertise other related books after your conclusion.

This can be with a picture of the book cover or a link or QR code as explained above.

Since they enjoyed reading the first book, they are likely to buy another one from you, if the opportunity is put right in front of them.

But imagine they enjoyed reading the book and you didn’t advertise other related books.

You lost the opportunity of making another sale and upselling, while if you had put it, you have nothing to lose.

That's all I have for you... I hope you find this tips helpful. Let me know your thought about it in the comment section.

NEW IDENTITY VERIFICATION PROCESS FOR AUTHORS ON AMAZON KDP

Amazon has introduced a new identity verification process for authors, which has caused some concern among publishers.

In their announcement, Amazon stated, "We are committed to protecting those who publish with us and those who buy books on Amazon. As part of this effort, we are asking authors and publishers to verify their identities.”

NB: Access to KDP publishing features will be restricted until the verification process is completed.

To view the criteria for identity verification, log in to your Amazon dashboard, click on the help button, and you will see the necessary information. Let's review the steps for verifying your identity:

1. Log in to KDP: Go to your account, head to edit 'Identity,' and enter or review your information, such as your full name, address, and date of birth. Ensure the name on your account matches your ID.

2. Upload ID: Save your information, then click 'Verify Identity.' Choose an ID type and country (e.g., if you're in Nigeria, you can use a voters card, national ID card, or international passport). Submit for verification.

NB: If you're making use of NIN, make sure it's the plastic ID card you're using and not the NIN slip.

3. Wait for Verification: Verification typically takes a few minutes, though it can vary. Once complete, you will be notified.

Regarding the safety of your information, Amazon assures that their system is designed to protect your data. If you fail to verify your identity, consequences may include account termination.

To begin the verification process, click on 'Your Account.' Ensure the name on your ID matches your dashboard name. If you're using a friend's ID, make sure the names match exactly. Edit both your Amazon and KDP account details if necessary.

For those facing issues with the process, ensure your internet connection is stable. Once you enter your details and save them, move on to the next steps as prompted.

If you're having difficulty, ensure all required fields (marked with a star) are filled out. After entering your details, save and continue to see if further steps are needed.

Remember, this process is about enhancing security, so there's no need to panic. Ensure your details are correct and stay tuned for more information.

THE WAY YOU PRICE YOUR BOOK MATTERS

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

Today, we will be discussing how the price of your book can affect its sales. As we delve into our discussion, be sure to take note of every detail we cover.

The price of your KDP books should follow the three-phase formula...

1. Launch Phase
2. Growth Phase
3. Scaling Phase

Here's how to correctly price your book on Amazon KDP

Before we go into the three phases, there's an important message...

Your general book price is dictated by two things:

1. Your competitors price
2. Your book quality

I always preach your book should be the best quality in the niche so number 2 shouldn't be an issue

If you have multiple competitors with a price of $7.99, it's going to be hard for you to charge more than that at the start

This is why you need to break your pricing down into the three phases

1. Launch Phase

This is the first 30-60 days of your book release

Your main goal here is simply to make sales, get reviews and boost your rank.

I therefore price my books around $1 cheaper than the rest of the market at launch, mainly because I have no reviews

2. Growth Phase (2 - 12 months)

As your book starts to sell, improve ranking and gain reviews, you can increase your book price to match the average of the niche.

Because yours should be the best quality, and by this time have good reviews, you can justify this

3. Scale Phase (1 year+)

Once your book is the best-seller on the market and your reviews are better than your competition, you can start charging more than everyone else.

High reviews and a high price will give off a strong perceived value and customers would rather spend more on a book they trust than 'cheaper, riskier' alternatives.

Best book, best seller, highest margins

This is how you win.

That's all I have for you... I hope you find this tips helpful. Let me know your thought about it in the comment section.

HERE IS PROOF THAT THE LAST TIPS I SHARED WITH YOU WORK.

I published my book on Amazon KDP the day before yesterday, and it was in review for several hours. 😔

I was very happy with the content of the book and confident that it would make massive sales. However, Amazon emailed me that my account had been terminated.😁

If you were in my shoes, how would you feel?🙃

I didn't even bother myself because I know how to navigate this, as I've shared with you before.😉

I waited for a few hours, then I emailed them, just as I illustrated in my last tips. And guess what? The account has been reinstated.🤗

If you like, don't follow someone who knows the way.😀

HOW TO REINSTATE/APPEAL FOR YOUR AMAZON KDP ACCOUNT AFTER IT HAS BEEN TERMINATED.

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

As we are about to dive into what we have today which is "How To Reinstate/Appeal For Your Amazon KDP Account After It Has Been Terminated", make sure you take note of every single thing we will be discussing.

With no further ado, let's dive into the details of the reinstatement process for your Amazon KDP account.

If your account has been terminated, and you're now worried of starting over again😔, I have good news for you. The goodnews is "you can still reinstate the account provided you follow the steps below 👇"

1. NEW DEVICE: Make sure you don't make use of the same device you use when publishing or the device you've used before to appeal for a terminated account.
Make use of a new device(Could be any random person's own), then login your email and you're set😉.

2. TIME FRAME: Another hidden secret we don't know is the time frame we use in sending Amazon an appeal message. For the past three accounts which I have recovered, I have been sending them messages in the midnight, I think by then they are less busy. Check below 👇

3. WHO TO APPEAL TO: Many of you don't understand that most of the staff of Amazon are looking for means to reduce the workload on them(By terminating accounts). So, it's hard for them to reinstate it, sometimes they do. But not as much as this name below does👇

4. THE DON'T's FOR SENDING APPEAL MESSAGE: Don't spam(Sending multiple messages) that email, send the message only only once and wait for response from the Executive household.
Example of the message could be this 👇

5. SUBJECT OF MY MESSAGE: Lot's of people have been making use of "APPEAL FOR TERMINATION OF MY ACCOUNT" and lot's more. I'm not saying they are bad, but one thing with them is that, when they see that word "Appeal for Kdp account" they'll just ignore the message without reading. So please, for them to atleast take a look into your account or issues. You have to play smart here, how do I mean? Check below 👇

6. DON'T USE AI IN GENERATING AN APPEAL MESSAGE: Another mistake you should avoid is making use of AI to generate an appeal message. Everyone now makes use of AI, so they know when AI writes, cause it isn't always so emotional. Use ur head, or tell someone good at writing 2 help!

7. DON'T REPLY TO ANY MAIL: Avoid responding to any mail, especially from the Executive Household, until they are done carrying out their investigation and then reinstate your account. Speaking out of experience shaa... Especially this kind of mail below👇

8. DO THE NEEDFUL: Doing the needful means, immediately after your account has been restored rush to your catalogue or bookshelf and make sure you unpublish any book you think or know isn't good for the safety of your account.

For Now, That's all I have for you... I hope you find this tips helpful. Let me know your thought about it in the comment section.

HOW TO USE PEN NAME TO BOOST YOUR SALES ON AMAZON KDP

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

As we are about to dive into what we have today, make sure you take note of every single thing we will be discussing.

This content is strictly for those that didn't have much knowledge about how Amazon KDP works but you can still read it, who knows you might still learn one or two things from it.

I know you would have been hearing the word PEN NAME but you might not know exactly what it means.

In this post, I would explain all you need to know about PEN NAME.

First, let's start with what you understand by the word PEN NAME.

PEN NAME: A pen name is a name that an author uses instead of their real name when they write and publish books.

Let's take for instance, you go to a BookShop to buy a book titled "How to be a Good Citizen of Nigeria" and you were given two books written by different author.

The first one was written by Adeyemi Adesola and the second one was written by Ryan Davis.

The question now is which one would you go for... I know you would want to go for the first one because you feel the person has more knowledge about Nigeria compared to the second author.

That's exactly what happened when you published your book on Amazon kdp with your real name.

Remember, We're publishing and selling books to the Western world huh?

Most westerns hardly take knowledge from the easterners and Africans.

Using your real name will reduce the visibility and credibility of the books.

Listen, this is the game.

Whenever, you're publishing, you're modeling a best selling or hot books people want to read in a niche.

Look at all the pen or author name of those books and model it.

If the best seller authors are Jennifer Sorenson, Linda Hill, Davis Hudson etc.

You can model them and use Rose Sorenson, or Kate Hudson etc.

It will be similar with the best selling name. And the audience will also check out your book.

This is known as leveraging on the best sellers' authority.

Example of Popular Author with a Pen Name:

One notable example is Nora Roberts, a prolific author known for her romance novels.

While she writes under her real name, Nora Roberts, she also uses the pen name J.D. Robb for her "In Death" series, which is a collection of futuristic suspense novels.

By adopting this pseudonym, Roberts effectively separates her romantic fiction from her suspenseful works, maintaining clarity for her readers and enhancing her market presence.

Another example is J.K. Rowling. While renowned for the Harry Potter series, Rowling ventured into the crime fiction genre under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

This strategic move allowed her to explore a new genre without the weight of expectations associated with her globally recognized name.

The Cormoran Strike series, published under the Galbraith pen name, achieved critical acclaim and demonstrated the potential benefits of adopting different identities within the literary landscape.

BONUS TIPS

When publishing on different niche make sure you didn't use the same PEN NAME for everything because you would lose your credibility in the presence of your audience.

The 3 evergreen niche are;

1. Wealth--- Business and Money
2. Health--- Health, Fitness and Dieting
3. Relationship--- Parenting and Relationship

So, when publishing on Wealth Niche, let assume you made use of the pen name JOHN SMITH.

When publishing on another niche, you must not use the same name as John Smith again but for wealth niche the pen name JOHN SMITH is what you are going to use for all the books you're going to be publishing under that niche.

That's all I have for you... I hope you find this tips helpful. Let me know your thought about it in the comment section.

HOW TO NICHE DOWN SUCCESSFULLY PART 2

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

As we are about to dive into what we have today, make sure you take note of every single thing we will be discussing.

Here, I’ll explain Niching down, it’s importance and some keywords you can use to niche down successfully 👇

Niching down simply means targeting a specific category of people.

It explains why you should understand that you can’t sell to everybody especially in a competitive market but you can target a specific group and sell to them.

It is the best approach for increasing sales…

Niching down help you beat competition in a competitive market.

It entails showing a potential buyer that this particular product is best for you because it meets their exact needs.

For example;
If you need a red jersey for your school interhouse sport completion…

and you go to the market to get one, on getting to the market, you see a lot of Jersey sellers where;

1. Buy jerseys here
2. Buy red jerseys here
3. Buy male jerseys here
4. Buy red male jerseys here

As a guy looking for a red jersey, who will you buy from?

This example perfectly explains niching down.

You can clearly see that there are 4 different jersey sellers but there are 2 that have the exact colour you want, and only one that has the exact one you are looking for with colour and gender specification.

To understand this better, it doesn’t mean others won’t make sales. It simply means that you have reduced the competition from a broad or saturated category, and you now have a specific audience that anytime they come here to look for red male jerseys, you are the only option.

This is how to niche down effectively…

Say in a broad category with 10,000 general search.

1. Jersey sellers can bring 10,000 search results

2. Red jersey sellers can bring 3,000 search results

3. Male jersey sellers can bring 5,000 search results…

4. Red male jersey sellers can bring only 200 results.

You see that you’ll have very few competitors to deal with, which is 200 as against the broad 10,000 sellers.

This is how to niche down effectively. So find that population or category of people that will need your book…

and create a book specifically for them, explaining their problem & solutions to solve them.

This is a clear explanation on what niching down means to a beginner.

TOP RANKING NICHING DOWN TERMS 👇

Let’s examine some of the best ranking keywords to use when creating your title

1. For Beginners: With this, you are telling the buyer that this book is specially for novices who have no idea about the topic. So only those without idea will target your book.

2. For Seniors: As it explains, this will be a guide for only senior citizens in that field…

Beginners won’t buy that book except they just need it for a reason.

3. For Old People: This will be a guide targeted to only old people so when potential buyers search, you will be getting more sales from the older sects.

4. For Men: You can write a book superficially for men using the jersey example above. This way, you’ll be winning more sales from all the men coming to look for that book or title.

5. For Women: This is the opposite of no. 4 above.

6. For Kids: This is a less saturated niching down keyword. While you write for old people, create room for kids too. A lot of people don’t write books for kids forgetting that kids also run into same kind of problems as adults, especially in health and self help niche.

YOU CAN ALSO ADD AGE BRACKET

7. For Women Over 50: With this you are specifically targeting women that…
are above the age of 50 so anytime a women above 50 years comes to search for that book or title, your book with this term will interest them more because they’ll feel like the information in the book is directed to them looking at enter age or gender.

8. For Men Over 40: This is a perfect opposite of no. 7 above. You can target only men above 40 or 50, depending on your research for the people who need the book as a solution.

9. For Kids Age 4-6: This way, you are showing the potential buyer that this book is the most…
accurate for your kids as long as they are within this age range. It’ll make the buyer feel like this is the best book for them.

10. Other Specific Qualities: You can use the qualities of a person or group of people to create a book for them.

This works perfectly for the…self help niche. Like procrastination, health or habit disorders, syndromes, etc…

SECRET TO NOTE

Once you find a good topic or keyword, create atleast 5 books with it, using those terms explained above, as long as they are relevant to your book.

I hope this helps you understand niching down properly. Let me know in the comment section

HOW TO START A NEW AMAZON KDP ACCOUNT

Hey guys,

I trust you all have been doing great.

As we are about to dive into what we have today, make sure you take note of every single thing we will be discussing.

Let's Start... I hope you're ready for this.

If you got your account terminated and was unable to retrieve it, please summon courage and move on.

Start a new account because that’s the only way to make dollars on kdp

In this write up, I’ll explain how to be absolutely safe while starting a new kdp account.

Starting a new kdp account after termination is like having 2 kdp accounts without termination.

When an account is terminated, Amazon states it clearly that YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CREATE ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

This mail is depressing but we need to make this money 💰

Since it is against Amazon guidelines to have multiple accounts or create a new one after termination, the only way to stay above this is by being extra careful and treating each account as a separate entity.

Let me break down the rules to follow to stay safe 👇

1. SYSTEM FORMATTING

You see, in anything you do with kdp, don’t leave room for mistakes. If people tell you one way to be safe, do it X2 to stay extra safe.

Once your account get terminated and you want to start a new account, the first thing is to format that system…

Some people say it’s not necessary, that you can just uninstall the browser, or clear history and cache, and you can start again.

While that can be true, I do format the entire system and backup my files.

I’m just trying to be extra safe…

If you use a phone and can’t format the phone, then you can clear browser, cache, delete and redownload all applications related to kdp.

If you can, go the formatting route as it is the safest. This way, there’ll be no traces to your previously terminated account.

2. FRESH EMAIL

It takes less than 3 minutes to create a gmail.

Create a new mail, using a name or ID that’s completely different from the previous one.

Make sure you don’t even use the phone number associated with the old account

3. FRESH PHONE NUMBER

As a Nigerian, you can have up to 16 phone numbers. Yes, you read that right. 16 phone numbers, meaning 4 from each of the popular networks.

So, you MUST register a new phone number to use on your new account.

It takes less than 5 minutes for 200 Naira. If you don’t have time to register, you can use your brother or sister’s number but make sure you have direct access to them because kdp can send verification codes to that number from time to time.

4. NEW NAME

Once your account get terminated or you are planning to create a second account, please don’t use the legal name on your old account.

Use the name of any of your siblings, parents, relatives or friends, and make sure they’ll never decide to do kdp one day…

Amazon can trace names to terminated accounts, and ban it again.

I know someone that got his account terminated just because Amazon perceived it to be a come back from a terminated account.

He tried and didn’t get it back because they insist he was the one…

5. IP ADDRESS

This is the fastest way to trace multiple accounts. While changing names and numbers, make sure you don’t use same sim or network for 2 accounts in same location.

While most Nigerian IPs look the same, avoid them to be extra safe.

So if you have 2 or more accounts or trying to create another after termination, use 2 different phone numbers to connect to internet for each of them.

To be extra safe, you can use MTN for one and Airtel for the second one or if you used MTN for the terminated account…

You can use Airtel or Glo for the new account.

Some people say this is not necessary and it’s stressful.

Well, I try as much as to be 2FA extra safe with “intentionally going against kdp rules and guidelines”

Be absolutely safe 😷

6. NEW BANK ACCOUNT

This is the most technical. Many got their accounts banner again because they linked the same bank account from their old or terminated account to the new one.

You can’t escape this for more than 72 hours. They’ll ban again.

If you are going to be using your brother or relatives for another account, you must make sure they have a valid ID card to help you create virtual bank accounts from Geegpay or grey or even Payoneer.

The former is faster and less stressful...

However, if you don’t have anybody’s details to use in your account creation, you can reuse your details (this is not safe but if it’s the only option, you can try it).

Here’s how to reuse your old details from a terminated account or for a second account…

1. Swap the names: If your name is TANKO JIDE IKENNA, and that’s the exact name you used in your terminated or old account, you can interchange the positions like JIDE IKENNA T. or IKENNA TANKO J.

This is so because you need to use your old bank account for the new one.

So, if you use this method to create your new kdp account, you can request a virtual GBP or EURO bank account number from your virtual account provider, and use it for your new account.

Let me explain better 👇

Your old or terminated account has the name as TANKO JIDE IKENNA and that’s exactly how you used it on both your kdp and virtual bank account, with a US account number attached to your kdp profile.

Now on the name account, you now have your name swapped like JIDE IKENNA T.

Note that this change only occurred on your new kdp account, and not on your bank account. You can’t change names on your virtual bank account because it appears as it is in your BVN.

So the name change can only happen on your kdp account.

So when it’s time to add bank account, you can now add a GBP or Euro account number to the new account since you used US for the first one.

Note: this is dangerous but if you don’t have anyone around you to use their details, which is the safest, you can settle for this method..

With this, you’ll have 2 kdp accounts, same virtual account, and 2 different currencies for each of the kdp accounts.

With this method, you must be extra careful not to mix things up.

I know a lot of people that are carefully running their accounts like this & are doing fine.

7. NEW ADDRESS

Your address doesn’t really matter on kdp, as long as you have a bank account.

The address is mainly used to send you payment by Cheque (check), when you are eligible for payment and there’s no bank account attached to your profile.

Don’t use same address for 2 accounts or new account after a termination.

There’s no address verification like Clickbank or other online platforms so, you can have 2 different addresses that won’t be linked to 2 accounts.

Be safe friend…

BONUS TIP

1. Stop announcing or boasting that you have multiple kdp accounts.

2. Don’t use same formatting style for the books on both accounts.

3. Use entirely different pen names for books on both accounts

4. If possible, run different niches on both accounts.

5. Maintain different book cover design style and colour scheme for both accounts.

6. Don’t use same phone to open both accounts whether to check earnings or dashboard.

7. Be extra smart. Don’t in any way link two accounts (existing or terminated) with each other..
