Oh my gosh I'm so thankful when people like you actually SHOW the steps to getting things done. Thank you so much!
This video was complete gold. I want all the videos on publishing you can make. Keep em coming. Thank you!!
Yes, thank you!! This video answered quite a few questions that I've been saving up in the back of my mind. I feel much more confident about tackling this now. I am getting so close to the next step here. Thank you Bethany!
It has been great to watch this video, Bethany. You've done an amazing job at sharing all those details. Thanks!
THANK YOU! This was so awesome... I am going to be using KDP soon and this was perfect!
Beautiful step-by-step guide to complete the process. Lifesaver!
Thank you so much for this tutorial; it is just what I needed!!
3:32 public domain: you can publish books with no copyright (let's say Shakespeare or The Bible). However, you need to add some additional value in order for Amazon to let you sell the book (illustrations, comments, etc.).
Wow, this was so helpful! I was just wondering last week should I upload or not to Amazon and how to do it, this came in the perfect time. Thank you, Bethany! Have a blessed day!
This is so enormously helpful. Thanks!
wow I'm subscribing immediately, this video is so good and helpful, thanks
Thanks for the video, it was useful. I've just uploaded my book on amazon and finished the book trailer.
Thanks for this. About to publish my first book and it is good to have an idea of what to expect before I do... :)
Bethany, this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this upload!
This video super helpful!...Thnx for uploading 🙂
Super helpful!! I’d love to see more walkthroughs.
Publishing on KPD for first time. This was excellent.
Brilliant video. Thank you so much 👍🏼😃
Great tutorial, Bethany! :D
This has been a very helpful video! I’m very thankful you did a step by step. I wanted to get a physical copy of my books (only for myself). And I’ve been thinking of trying out kdp for my first ebook but I’m just so scared with taxing because I’m still a student.
Very helpful thank you!!
Thank you that was very helpful.
Thank you! Thank you! This is a great video and has helped me tremendously! Did KDP combine with Createspace? I'm asking based on comments on your other video re:Createspace (your Createspace video was a greeeeeaaaaat video as well!) Please keep making these golden videos!
Very big help!!!
This is great. Good luck.
love this! question: im new to all this about ready to upload my first book. Does it matter if I upload a paperback first? or does it have to be ebook first?
Dude. Your voice is mesmerizing. Im sorry. Im trying to learn but its hard. lol So sorry. Hope Im not making it weird. Think ima just go to kindle now before I get in trouble.lol
Thanks, Bethany!
Nice and detailed
Thanks for the infos.
When you do the book size, can you do a landscape layout? If so, what sizes are available? Thank you and thanks for the info, great video.
It looks super easy when You do that :) but i am on KDP just since few days and for me its all a little bit hard ( and english is not my first language), but keep learning, thanks :)
Thank you Bethany! Kheili mamnoon! :)
Hi Bethany Thank you for that clear steps on uploading a paperback. My first attempt to upload a paperback has not really been successful. KDP is still reviewing it because apparently the book cover does not fit the 5 by 8 size i wanted. My cover designer has tried his best to adjust it and I uploaded about 3 times but still it says the size does not fit. don't know what to do. Can you help please?
thank you so much. i just have a problem the kdp team send me a email : During our review, we found the contributor(s) listed for the following book(s) may confuse our customers. Contributors are the people involved in creating your book, including authors, editors, illustrators, translators, and any others who assisted with your book’s creation.
I made it to uploading of my manuscript but the preview of it isn't my favorite!! How cal dekete it and reupload the file in a different format?? Thanks
Hey so I’m looking into self publishing on KDP with some ideas I have for children’s books, but I was wondering, seeing as you have a few titles out, are you making enough income from them to live comfortably. I’m investing quite a bit on artists/illustrators for my story and hope I can see nice residuals coming in.
I do know it's best to always add page numbers before hand that's what you do when writing to keep track of pages but does kdp add page numbers too if you remove them thinking they do or is it best to keep your numbers on each page that you have when writing really wanna know if you will please help
would you recommend buying your own personal ISBN #?? And did you buy out the copy rights to your material?
Soooo if I was making a childrens book that had lots of pictures how would I be able to up load it

Nice voice🤗
Hi!!!! I did all the steps but I been having problems 😰 on my manuscript I have all my pages but when I download the manuscript, some pages are missing, is there any way how this problem can be fix?😓
So what do I do if i have each chapter of my book in individual google documents. Do I Put each chapter in one word document and Kindle create will sort out my book automatically?
Hi! It has it been a dream of mine to self publish my own children’s books for as long as I can remember. I have an iPad Pro and I love it! I am told by kdp that I can’t use my iPad to upload my illustrations to my cover and if I could find a way...my product would come out terrible! Is this true!! I really don’t care for windows and a Mac notebook would be so expensive. I am not the most technological person out there. And I have become so frustrated. I have been doing my illustrations on Procreate and my manuscript on the app pages. I would appreciate your help! Thanks!
Can someone help me. If I have a graphic designer create my cover, then someone to some create the content how would I combine the files to send to KDP for publication??
The former facilitator took our anthology off amazon. How can I get it back on amazon as one of the authors. I am now the facilitator of the group and almost ready to publish our next anthology. Is the cost if any to put these books on Amazon?
I was typing in a rush and so many spelling mistakes!! I want to know how I can delete my current manuscript...I didn't like my preview!!
Is there a payment for ISBN if I use kindle ISBN?
It's not letting me choose an age range when getting started on uploading my children's picture book.
I'm writing a cook book, can I add pictures to the kindle?

@@BethanyAtazadeh funny because it was meant to publish yesterday (and it did ay 11 PM!) HAHA Can you do a video on how to promote after release date and how frequent to post/promote and how to increase initial sales? I've been following you for a while but just looking for some extra advice since I released my debut poetry book yesterday ❤❤
If keywords are optional then why type in all that other nonsensical jargon?
@BethanyAtazadeh

Because "optional" doesn't mean the same thing as "skip this", and keywords are extremely valuable for reaching readers.
You voice is so killing
