Why Was the Pubby Lesson Removed?

Due to these policy changes, we’ve decided to remove the Pubby lesson from Publishing.com courses. While we can’t say for certain whether books are being blocked because of Pubby itself or the pace at which reviews are being generated, we encourage students to be mindful of Amazon’s guidelines when seeking reviews.

What If You Still Have Pubby Snaps?

Should you choose to continue using your snaps and experience issues, such as blocked listings or removed reviews, it may be related to Amazon’s stricter policies. We cannot be held accountable for these outcomes and won’t be able to intervene in such cases, so use your best judgment. If you need help with Pubby, we recommend reaching out to their customer support team.

For those looking for paid alternatives, here are a few options:

Publishing.com has not tested these sites and can not be held responsible for the outcome of using them.

Final Thoughts

To stay compliant with Amazon’s policies and protect your book listings, we recommend following the review methods taught in our course. If you choose to use Pubby, do so with caution and keep Amazon’s updated guidelines in mind.
