Hi, a suggestion: Why don't you incorporate book reviews. Let an author send you a book, you read it and give it your honest review on the cover and the contents and give it a rating. Keep the good work flowing

I think you should :) I write kids books but never published, finally I decided to publish and I have learn more on KZread than the money I paid to an agency, then to editors that are literal minded on fantasy kids books.

Hello Caroline, like many of the others here, I'm a long time fan! And I'm glad you're not going away, only pivoting, clairifying and centering your channel name and direction. You give so much, and we love all the content and ideas you share. You've been a mentor to me on my self publishing journey, and because of the internet, you can do it all the way across the world. So rock on sister--you've got this, and we'll be here to support you.

If I hadn't found your video on how to publish a children's book I wouldn't have been able to navigate my way to actually publishing several children's books. You gave me the inspiration and the confidence to try.

Wait just a minute..I had my hanky prepared...I was ready to have a good cry... you mean this isn't goodbye? We're not breaking up? Oh, OK

Thank goodness you'll still be around Caroline. I really need to get my act together re self publishing and catch up on your videos that I've not watched. So far my medium content moon journals are identified by kdp as low content and aside of coming up with the original idea to meet my own needs, it takes me at least 2 months to create the version for the following year. And I'm only selling maybe 20 copies a year! Which has really demotivated me. So thank you for this. Your bold step has reminded me that I need to do the same, and get serious about making an income from publishing books. Thank you!

Thank you for supporting my channel and sorry to feel like you've been struggling a little. Small steps - just keep working at it and as hard as it can be sometimes, just keep going when things are going slow. It's all a learning process.

Hello Caroline! I get it! I, too, have been online selling, Etsy, KDP blogging, affiliate and all you mentioned above since 2008. Whoa, my age is showing. But I am so happy about your new name, and channel direction. I have to say that, except for selling on eBay when my son was little, I have made the most money online with self-publishing books, which I also enjoy more. So thank-you for sharing your knowledge over the years, it has helped me and I know many others. You are such a class act, and I will look forward to continuing watching your channel and seeing you bloom and grow while helping others.

You've been a go to channel for my self publishing journey and I appreciate all the helpful info you've shared. Love the new name and look forward to the videos to come.

I enjoy your videos, and learn from your experience. That makes your channel(s) valuable, and why I subscribed. Don’t let the negative comments from a few discourage you. You are brave to put yourself “out there” and you have your fans or followers who will continue to learn from you. Aside from monetization, I think there is some value or reward, in knowing you are helping others, countless others. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of success. (Subscribed for some time now).

I’ve been a subscriber since the early days of your channel when you had around 10k subscribers. It’s been great to watch you grow! Yours is the only channel I watch every video for KDP. I look forward to watching you continue to change and grow with your new channel name!

I think changing the channel name is a fantastic idea!!! I'm seriously thinking about creating some low content books for KDP. I've never done it before so I'm very nervous. I've been watching your videos for awhile now and you information is the best out there. Do you have any videos about the best tools to use when selling on KDP? I know you talk about Book Bolt (which is on my "To Get" list) but are there any others that you recommend? Were you serious about you creating a course? Where do I sign up?!?!?! This is the most exciting thing I've heard in a long time!!! Go for it!! ❤️

I like watching you , do what’s best for you and your business 🎉

It’s Great that you progress in this direction and focusing on what you really love doing. Less is more. The changing the name is always risky, but even if you lose some, you’ll gain others who are really interested in self-publishing and not just in general talk. Since I have discovered your channel by the end of last year, I have published 8 books thanks to your videos. I know, it’s not much (like 3 books a day🙃 ), but I am not using AI, purposely, as it degrades the value for the customer. So, thanks for keeping your channel alive👍 Pavel, good on you

Thank you!! I realty appreciate your content. The spare outer walls inside the KZread content you create are a metaphor for the streamlined approach you express. I think if you need to set yourself apart and you do, the neutral staging and wardrobe matches your tonal visual quality which can build trust. The message is no distractions and I think it works. So kudos!! Being who you really are is the best way to achieve connection with your audience.

Right decision... Keep growing... Lots of love 🥰

Hi Caroline. I’m a long time subscriber. Thanks so much for all the videos over the years. I can’t wait to see what this new channel turns into. I would really love to see some content about publishing on Amazon, but not just KDP. I want my coloring books to be spiral bound or tear out pages which KDP does not do. Like how to approach a coloring book publisher when I don’t have a social media following. It’s hard to get started.

Hi Caroline, I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate the messages you’ve produced. I fully understand the nastiness of some people, especially those who watch without doing anything. It's disheartening that some individuals prefer destruction over construction simply because they are incapable of achieving anything meaningful in life. Please don't worry about any of the comments, insults, or nasty opinions from the dark side of life. I personally believe you are a beautiful woman, very attractive, and extremely well-articulated with a humble and honest personality. You have inspired many people and offered knowledge, guidance, and hope to so many. Keep doing what you are doing, change whatever you want to change. Many of us will keep listening and appreciating you and your message. If there is anything I don’t like, it’s that you are 12,000 miles away from me. Best regards,
