YEAH! Saved me a lot of time back at the old drawing board! :-)

Paul, I only want to take a moment to thank you. I've been struggling to rise from homelessness since my husband's arrest in 2017. I still have a long way to go, but I stumbled upon your channel last month. I had never heard of low content publishing. I followed step by step how to make 6 book designs. In my first month, I've sold 2 copies and I can't express my gratitude to you for all that you offer us at no charge. Blessings to you for restoring my hope. This actually has potential to work. Thank you!

For those of you who may put text or graphics on the back of your book, I had problems with KDP not accepting my book cover because I didn't have room for a barcode, even though I knew I had the room because I followed the template exactly. (It may have been because I had a background image and it didn't know it was okay to print over it.) I fixed the issue by putting a white box over the area in the template where the barcode needed to go and there were no problems with it after that.

I was really surprised as I'm still waiting about 7 days for other softcover books. going forward, I'm launching both soft and hardcover and may even try hardcover only. I guess the next step is for kdp to offer spiral bound , but that'll probably be a much higher cost. best wishes to everyone here on your kdp journey !!

If anyone is doing this make sure you try and find a niche or unique type of book to sell, Amazon are cracking down on a lot of KDP accounts that are listing hundreds of simplified Journals for a quick buck based on some generic copyright free images/covers, (especially if there are hundreds of sellers using the same images), also go easy on your metadata/tags as it will flag your listing if you have the same words on the title and subtitle of your listing. Try and think outside the box with your designs/ideas to prevent this.

I saw the hardware cover option on my dashboard and I began to work on my LCB; after some minor adjustments I launched and waited. After about 24 hours, it went live. I was really surprised as I'm still waiting about 7 days for other softcover books. going forward, I'm launching both soft and hardcover and may even try hardcover only. I guess the next step is for kdp to offer spiral bound , but that'll probably be a much higher cost. best wishes to everyone here on your kdp journey !!

Congratulations. Glad you’ve managed to get your book published. 👍👍
If anyone is doing this make sure you try and find a niche or unique type of book to sell, Amazon are cracking down on a lot of KDP accounts that are listing hundreds of simplified Journals for a quick buck based on some generic copyright free images/covers, (especially if there are hundreds of sellers using the same images), also go easy on your metadata/tags as it will flag your listing if you have the same words on the title and subtitle of your listing. Try and think outside the box with your designs/ideas to prevent this.
Thank you Paul, I just began my KDP journey with my first upload yesterday. I was able to do so largely because of your great videos that explains the process so clearly. You are really an amazing teacher!

Hello, I was in the Hardcover Beta Program since the beginning of 2021. So far I know there´s no 8,5x11 inches option, just 8.25x11 inches hardcover format. This is a great chance for all of us. I´m now specialized in hardcover books and my sales are now 10x higher than with paperback and ebooks only.

Great video Paul, thanks. Very timely. I noticed the hardcover 3 days ago and had a go at converting one. Of course the cover didn't work. I thought I'd made a mistake and redid it and ofc it was still wrong. Now I see why. I shall have a go at converting my massive back catalogue of 6 titles :))

Thx again captain. I looked at the print costs. Maybe we should consider going to 110 pages that saves 12 cent print costs. That doest not sound much but 12 cent less price in printing saves you money
your explanation is very clear. Muchas gracias, señor Marles!

Thank you for these tutorials! 😘 Thank God I've landed on your channel before starting. The customers in the niche I wanna go for were mentioning the hardcover would give a 5*. Now I know I just have to add 0.5 in to the sized I was thinking of, and I'll have the hardcover option too. Thanks a million! 🙂

KDP opened this feature yesterday (9.15.21) and I uploaded 4 (5.5” x 8.5”) notebooks and they are already live today! Hardcover isn’t over saturated yet with submissions so they’re publishing really quick! Get on it all my KDP peeps :)
