My thanks to j.p.s. for suggesting a search in Amazon’s “Kindle Store” on the drop-down menu, as opposed to “Books” – I hadn’t thought of that. It does narrow the search, moving my title up to twenty-second of 192 total results, as compared to thirty-third of 1,200. It also led me to see what would come up from a search on Google or Bing, and clearly this is the way to go to most conveniently enable a potential purchaser to find your ebook absent a link – provided, importantly, the word “ebook” is added after the title in performing the search. Thus I plan to revise the last page of the TikTok video, which currently reads, “Available as an ebook on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and other online sites,” to read, “To read more or purchase a copy, on Google or Bing, search for [title of the ebook], ebook.” Of the two search engines, Bing, by showing Amazon first of the entries that come up, along with the ebook’s blurb, produces the best result.
With respect to eliminating the TikTok watermark from an uploaded video, in a previous post I said this evidently could be done, but I believe I was wrong on this, as a random search of several videos reveals all had the annoying watermark, but with differing placements.
Finally, as Hitch points out, there are music clips available to get around the infringement issue. TikTok itself, for example, has several hundred thousand to choose from.
