QR code for bonus content: any issues with Google Drive?
Hello guys, quick question: If I'm not planning to build a brand around a single book and I want to give readers a bonus, can I just create a QR code that redirects to a Google Drive, and that's it? Does Amazon allow this? Thank you.

I create QR Codes that link directly to my Google Drive for Bonus Materials. I've done this for about 5 books and have not had any problem.

PublishFlow video ads
I am having a great deal of fun creating video ads under Visuals. @Andrey Bernhart I noticed there is now a 4th option, Cinematic Book Trailer. How does this one work? Do we upload the same items (A+ content, etc.) or is this created differently?

@Varvara Todorovic @Andrey Bernhart I've produced a few video ads now and I keep getting closed captioning in them. Is there an option to remove the closed captioning?

@Daniel Carter I'm testing things right now. Glad to say I have my first video ad sale! I've been using the video ads on 5 books so far (1 ad per book) and am using Andrey's campaign types and bid suggestions as a starting point. I will be testing using different videos for each book soon.

Universal link to review section of Amazon?
If anyone knows how to create just one QR code that directs readers to the 'leave a review' section of whichever Amazon marketplace they are in (eg: Australia, USA, UK, Canada) without having to create a QR code per marketplace, please would you share? Thank you!

https://booklinker.com/ I have not tried it, but I was directed here by a past formatter. Hopefully, this helps.

Debut niche nonfiction book live on KDP, stuck at zero reviews — seeking compliant launch strategies
Hi everyone, I’m A.x. Hale, happy to join the community. I’m brand-new to KDP self-publishing. I released my first nonfiction eBook, Fueling the Night Shift, on July 30, 2026. This book delivers tailored nutrition guidance exclusively for night shift workers, focusing on midnight sugar cravings, disrupted hunger hormones and sustainable shift-work eating habits. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC52ZHYT Since launch, I’m seeing zero organic traffic, zero sales, and most importantly, zero reviews. Without any social proof, conversion is nearly impossible. I don’t have an existing email audience, and I’ve started building organic content on Pinterest and X to connect with my target readers, but progress is very slow. I want to stick strictly to Amazon’s TOS and avoid risky tactics that lead to removed reviews or account penalties. I’m curious to hear from other authors publishing tight niche nonfiction: What safe, long-term strategies did you use to land your first set of honest early reviews for a brand-new release with no pre-built audience? Are there specific ARC workflows or reader outreach approaches you found most effective for shift-worker / wellness niches? Thank you all for any insights you can share.

@A.x. Hale Hi! and congrats on your first book. When I first got into self-publishing (not too long ago), I used Done For You KDP Reviews. It's pricey, but they run Facebook Ads for you and find interested readers for you. You give them a PDF copy for the readers. They'll follow up to get reviews. When you do future books, they can run more ads but also revisit the first readers they found. They are building a list for you in a sense. You can book a call with them to talk it over. I'm working on trying to build my own list now, but I also use Launch Reads and BookReverb. They are not review swap sites. They have actual readers who are interested in reading your book. I know some people shy away from that tactic, but if you don't already have an audience they can help you get started.

@Emily D Hi Emily, I appreciate your concern about compliance. I only look for a couple of reviews a week when using these services. I don't try to get dozens of reviews from them. I believe your "bid" is for placement on their lists. It's up to the reader if they choose to read the book or not and they are under no obligation to leave a review although the majority of them do. I've heard or seen numerous coaches recommend these sites after using them. I have not had any problems with them, Launch Reads is pretty new.

Meta Ads for US Amazon Reviews? (High-Content)
Is anyone here from the US who has experience using Meta Ads to find ARC/beta readers in order to get Amazon reviews? I’d love to connect and exchange ideas, as I’m based in Germany. To clarify: this is for high-content (non-fiction / guidebooks), not low-content.

@Emily D I wish I could help with this, but I've been banned from Facebook for some reason. I have used Done For You KDP Reviews for this purpose though. They are a little pricey, but they'll run the ads and follow up to get reviews. Once your second book is ready, they will run more ads but can also tap into your readers from the first book.
