What if you built a bestselling book on Amazon… and then lost all the income overnight? In this video, I’m getting super real about the copyright mistake that cost me over $37,000 in passive income on Amazon KDP. If you’re publishing on Amazon (or thinking about it), you must understand the difference between commercial use and copyright ownership—especially when using tools like Canva or AI-generated art.
