在抱怨亚马逊KDP的帖子下 看到有回帖提到中特网文如何靠盘剥创作者和非中特出版平台竞争

\> If you're going to compete in that space, I'd say if you manage to compete with e.g. Webnovel you might stand a better shot, because the non-Chinese owned competitors to Webnovel all appear to be DOA (but you might want to ask yourself why that is, and why Webnovel works, and consider that Webnovel is wildly writer-hostile, using exclusive contracts and encouraging brutal publication schedules)

还有回帖讲阿里巴巴系中特电商 如何利用亚马逊版权保护漏洞 抢占先机 互相举报 恶性竞争

\> Well, if you are a pop-up reseller of some Alibaba good, you simply accept eventual account terminations, and you roll that into your deployment process. The lifecycle looks like this:
\> 1. You make some new generic name like FITPLUS
\> 2. Order several hundred items from a factory whose representative you can contact by barking up the chain on AliExpress, the factory should be able to white-label them as FITPLUS for a small fee.
\> 3. You pay for a couple dozen reviews up front on your new account to seed reviews.
\> 4. Just keep shipping, and if the product is reviewing well, keep shipping forever. If not, restart the process.
\> 5. Report other market players for similar items as making derivative products. After all, they are probably doing the same to you.
\> The key thing for success is that you treat Amazon and your customers with a complete mercenary mentality. Your name doesn't matter, service doesn't matter, because everything that happens is at the whims of fickle machine gods. If your first offering doesn't work, you fire up a second, a third, a fourth, until something sticks around for a while.
\> People trying to make high-quality goods will typically roll over and bow out after the first product take-down.
