Two things for KDP : mattte black covers leave fingerprints, especially for an oft-handled book, and amazon doesn't like mass repeated interiors (the exception is plain lined interiors). I would at least change the font on a few versions so they don't suspend your account or take down your book or anything 😊

I changed the sizes👍. Everybody doesnt like a big 8x11 book

I have been doing KDP for a few months now and am loving it! It is such an amazing business model. However, they are known for shutting down accounts without any warning, so I wouldn’t republish the same interior with different covers unless it is a blank lined journal. It’s against terms and conditions because each one needs to be differentiated.

People like you Hannah is keep motivating us to something side hustle that can really possible such a great content thanks for your all efforts.

So glad you found this helpful!!

I have been totally humbled. Lol… I thought I was pretty computer savvy and you made this look so incredibly simple that I thought I’d have a few low content books on KDP by the end of the day. Six hours later what I got was a headache and totally frustrated. I just couldn’t figure out how to make the book cover on Kittl and save it and then move over to Bookbolt and download the cover and pick the inside and save that. Going over to KDP was easy but I couldn’t find anything to import,download or how to get the book into it. Maybe you need to do a video for dummies. 😅

amazing content! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, Hannah, this is a great video. I appreciate the new ideas on how to expand with new products.

Ahh Hannah, not sure when you did this video but Amazon KDP has limited the amount of books you can upload per day (3) to stop the bad faith of spammy people who are putting out crap notebooks and journals without much thought. Just wanted to give you a heads up. BTW, love your channel. Keep up the great info❤

Thank you Hanna, I wish you had mentioned the pricing in the beginning, as I was following along with you... So I missed the discount code:/ I would have done the pro account had I known about that in the beginning of the video. You made this seem super easy and I cant wait to do my first one!!

Hi Hannah. Wonderful channel and another great video. Can I check one thing please concerning the profit between Amazon and the creator? You state in the video it’s 40 per cent of the profit to Amazon and 60 per cent to the creator. Is that right? I watched another video where the figures were given the other way round and from the chart in your video it looks like it should be the other way round. Have I got this wrong? Thanks once again for a great channel.

Wow! Excellent video and super easy to understand! How do we add our Brand Name to books? When we apply to KDP we simply put our real name in the application, correct, not our Brand Name?

Hannah, is it possible to use BookBolt for POD sites - journals on Printify or Printful?

Is there a way to show interior pics of books on Kdp, I have a few live but it just shows the cover

Creative fabrica has some kdp interiors as well

Dear Hannah, can we use VPN when we upload our books to KDP?

Thank you so much for walking us through the whole process! Do you need to have a registered business to do it or it can be done as a person? Love your channel

There was a "Journal Writing" option under the "Self-Help" subcategory choices.

Do you have to use book bolt or can you use your design suite for graphics and printify for the actual book?

@hannahebeling

10 ай бұрын

For KDP, Amazon actually prints the books for you, so you won't have to connect with Printify. For the cover and insides you can certainly make those in your design suite, this is just a helpful tool to make getting books out a lot easier.

I noticed when you were uploading the book to Amazon that you didn't check the box that said it was a low content book. Was there a particular reason for that?

@hannahebeling

I typically only check that for books with just lined pages, but you can read through the KDP guidelines and decide which category each particular book you are creating best falls into.

Hi Hannah! What size was your Canva design? When I upload mine that I designed in 6x9, it looks small in the Bolt Mass Cover pdf 😢

I like how you went from start to finish, however have you made $4376 in a month? if so, did you run ads? I've done KDP for almost two years, and it is fun, yet is hard work. While being optimistic, about success, just because you put a book out there doesn't mean folks will buy it or like it. Even if you load a quality product, doesn't mean it will be seen by everyone or anyone, if they don't scroll to page 50. Amazon gives a lot of information, when you run ads. You'll see impressions, clicks, etc--unfortunately, it's a learning experience and patience, to see what works for you. Also, Amazon now has a daily uploaded limit.

Thanks Hannah. What is the binding for these books?

Book Bolt has lots of blank and lined page options too.

No-one here is making that type of money selling journals. It's NOT an easy side hustle. It takes a lot of work. Please stop selling these false dreams.

I agree that It's so hard to get sales of no and low content books these days, a few years ago maybe. Medium and high is where the sales are now and with lots of promotion. I've been trying for two years, I will persevere though as I enjoy the creative process.

Your low-content book can take seven days to be approved and with lots of prayers, they might possibly sell a couple.
