This is great! Thanks so much!
Hello! Paul Amazon is not accepting my country code😗
Can we all take a moment and say THANK YOU TO MR PAUL MARLES for being and incredible teacher. I have just uploaded my first book and already drafting my second book
Congratulations! That’s great to hear. 👍👍
Yes. Thank You Paul. I am still in process of publishing my first notebook, but Your vids have been very helpful through this process.
Thank you Paul! Your content is awesome!
Yes, Sohna, well said.
Yes, thank you sir 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for this. I'd like to point out that the free ISBNs from Amazon mean that they are listed as the publisher, not you. If you buy your own ISBNs, you are the publisher. If money is a problem and you're happy to let Amazon be listed as the publisher, then go ahead. They're only low-content or no-content books. Just thought I'd throw that out there - especially for authors like me who don't want Amazon to have exclusivity over your books' ISBNs because it means that if you want to sell that book elsewhere, you have to get a separate ISBN for it
You're welcome.
Very good point. I kept seeing "Sold by Amazon" and I thought Amazon CANT be doing that much selling of books.. lol
Thanks. I was wondering about this.
Yes, you're right about that and once I found that out as an author myself I opted to buy my own isbn. Also, if you know you're going to make a lot of these you can purchase a 10 pack of isbns.
I have purchased 100 ISBNs as I am an author and need to have at least 3 ISBNs for each book. You need one for each book format, ie one for ebook, one for paperback, one for hardback, one for audiobook. I have decided that for the low-content books that I will only want to sell as a paperback on Amazon, I will use Amazon's free ISBN and for the others, I will use my own.
Thank you so much for this. My mother was an author so I am going to be an author too. She actually wrote words but I'm sure she'll be proud of me in heaven. :)
I'm sure. Good luck with your publishing.
Hi Paul, hope you are alright! Man, you can't imagine how much you're contributing to helping me find a way out of my problem of lack of work. I am an architect in Brazil, I have been working for 43 years and I specialized in shipping container projects and constructions, in addition to teaching software for architects. But the pandemic took it all these past few months. Now I live as a freelancer and I'm glad my training allows me to do that. I glimpsed a new scenario with your videos and I greatly appreciate your willingness to share. Sorry for the long text but I wanted to show my gratitude. Hug.
I hope things are going well for you.
I seen that you posted this was a year ago or more. How are you doing NOW?
I can't believe what a great idea this is. This has given me an idea for some religious / spiritual notebooks that I think would work quite well. Or even a quote a day diary. Amazing! Thank you for this video!
Great stuff! There really are a lot of opportunities in this space.
Awesome video! I just published my first book after spending a week watching so many videos, none taught like you! Thank you. I appreciate the mansplaining 😊 As a stay at home, homeschooling mother of three, I need to make some income to help out in this rough economy. Here’s hoping I am on the right track now. Again, thank you!
I uploaded my book yesterday for the first time and I have other ideas I’ve saved. Thank you for the tutorial.
Congratulations!
Have you sell anything yet?
You are the reason I am now an official KDP low content author! Thank you for the work that you do! You are changing lives! Blessing to you!!
Congratulations! That’s great. Thank you too for watching.
Created and published my first notebook by following your tutorials. You’ve earned a new subscriber. Thank you sir!
Congratulations. And thank you. 👍
I just wanted to say a quick thank you. I started creating/publishing low content journals and colouring books after watching your videos, and a couple of my books have now reached best seller ranks (top 200, but still, out of the hundreds of thousands that’s pretty good). I’ve been able to make some much needed money and have fun while doing so. Thank you a million times! ❤
Wow! That's really great to hear. Well done on creating the books and making sales and thank you for letting me know.
I'm thinking of starting this myself, do you recommend it? Seems too good to be true to me, how exactly do your products sell when there are literally thousands out there that are the exact same thing? (blank notebooks)
I do recommend it. There is a TON of competition on Amazon, but the thing is to find the right niche and really do your keyword research. I haven’t sold many journals, but my colouring books are doing pretty well. I’ve made about $120 for the month of November, which isn’t much, but as a single mom every bit helps. I should also mention that I’ve published over 40 books and have sold maybe 5 or 6 out of the 40+ I’ve made. You just have to stick to it! Good luck!
This was legitimately one of the most helpful tutorials and easiest tutorials in kdp. I already published the book while watching this tutorial and im just waiting for it to be approved. Despite it being a low content book, it is 100% better than waiting for my actual book (using ghost writers) to finally be ready, So, thank you so much, you got an instant follow!! and please keep up the wonderful work!
That’s great. Glad you found it useful and congratulations on publishing your book. 👍
Thank you very very much, you are helping thousands of people to make a living from such a pleasurable job!
Thank you too for watching.
this series was so great, thanks so much for breaking down all the steps! Just published by first book
Hows it performing
Are you Pakistani
I am so happy with your tutorial, there's so many tutorials at RUclips with this content but yours are great because teach that the files must be saved in two separated pdf . Thank you so much
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
I just uploaded my first notebook. Thank you Very much for your guide!
Well done! 👍👍👍
Did Amazon contact you saying that you had the authors and contributors confusing? I had this after I watched this video
I created my first notebook. It took me hours but it was worth it :) thank you so much. Love your videos. Very we'll explained!
Congratulations! Great to hear.
You are an absolutely brilliant teacher! I am so thankful for your videos!
Thank you. I'm glad you found them useful.
Paul, your videos are one of the most helpful i have seen on the internet, I love how you calmly explain. thanks so much, i will donate as soon as i sell one!!!
This is SO USEFUL!! I'm an artist who has been looking for ways to show my art to the world (and make money). Creating/selling notebooks with my art seems like the perfect idea. Thank you!
Yes, it’s a really good way for artists to make an income from their art.
Thank you very much Mr Paul Marles for this incredible lesson. I am a novice in KDP. With your step by step video, I just publish my first book. Thanks a lot. It was very useful. Regards, Tanguy
Congratulations! That's great to hear. 👍
Hey, Captain, I published a book today. Thanks for the inspiration and the gentle learning curve.it was fun and exciting
Congratulations! Great to hear. 👍
Thank you very much Mr Paul Marles for this incredible lesson. I just started KDP and with your step by step video, I just published my first book. Thanks again. It was very useful!
Regards, Tanguy
You're welcome and congratulations! That's great to hear. 👍
I love your videos! I just found them yesterday and I love how you walk us, step-by-step from start to finish! I just published my first lined notebook today!
Thank you. Glad you found it useful.
I did it! Published it and waiting for review. All while eating my breakfast! Thank you so much for your videos. Can't wait to do more journals and eventually publish my novel book!
Congratulations! That’s great 👍👍
@@paulmarles I'm on Amazon! It took two review updates, but I did it. Now working on my second one. Will review your videos again to make sure all goes well. Thanks again!
I have made detailed notes form your two introductory tutorials re starting with KDP and am now starting to put those into action. Thanks very much indeed for being willing to help those who are further back than you on the learning curve = a very generous gesture. Wishing you well.
What is great about a lot of your videos is that I can come back and watch them over and over to refresh. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you find them useful. Thank you 👍👍
Thank you for this great tutorial! You are a great teacher and explained everything so well I have already uploaded 3 books!! I ran into a similar problem with the blank lined pages showing an error for only 20 of the pages out of 120. I finally just used Microsoft word instead of Canva for the blank lined pages. I set the margins according the guidelines on the KDP website and presto! No issues uploading! Thanks for giving me the confidence to try!
Microsoft word how
@@ChideraStephen They're for sale on my Etsy shop 😁 but I just followed KDP margin instructions on their website. The document has to be set to mirror margins 0.38" top, inside, bottom, outside margin size. Then custom paper size width 6.13" and 9.25" height just as Paul said.

Paul Marles- I just published my first manifestation journal. Thank you for all your educational videos.
That's great to hear. Best of luck with it and thank you for watching.
Aw man I wish you showed a copy of the finished book
You can probably buy it 😉
After starting and stopping dozens of other videos that were unclear or too long, I am sooooo glad I found you! Clear and direct and so easy to follow. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome.
This is great! Thank you for taking the time to show us all! I will certainly be letting the ads roll :)
Many thanks Paul! This video has helped me publish my first no-content book on Amazon KDP. I am thrilled and can't wait to see if my design meets KDP requirements and actually gets published. Now I want to publish more! You are doing a great job... Thanks.
Congratulations! That's great to hear. 👍
Hi, was your book approved?
@@asambeeyoutubers2804 Hi there... I uploaded my first sketchbook and within hours it got approved. Thanks Paul for your tips. I now just have to learn how to traffic through so more people can view it and hopefully purchase.
Hi there. I am a graphic designer and have worked on a few books, but I must say watching your videos has made things a lot easier. I have more time to focus on the cover art of my books. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I really appreciate it.
Thank you too for watching. Glad you found them helpful.
Honestly, if I could hug you I would! That is how grateful I am to you for your clearly articulated no-fluff videos. I was able to create my first product and upload it to Amazon. Thank you.
BRAVO! I love your style of teaching - my Journal is done!
Thank you 🙏
Great
Really straightforward, no faffing! Thank you for this Paul really enjoyed it!
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful. 👍
Wow, best video I've been able to find on this topic by far! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and share your expertise!
You’re welcome. Glad you found it useful. 😊
Hi I just published my first book after watching your videos. Thanks Bro
Congratulations! Great to hear. 👍
02:37 This is the video where he shows Excel file formation for data input. (Don't mind me, just putting notes for myself).
Thank you! I finally published my first journal after watching all your videos and your son's videos!
Congratulations! 👍👍
Thank you for your step-by-step videos Paul! I now feel more confident about venturing into KDP publishing.
That’s great, thank you. Good luck. 👍👍
Watched this video and paused as I uploaded 2 books to KDP! Thank you very much for your guidance!!! ~Kim
Congratulations! That’s great. 👍👍
Hello! I followed every thing you did in the other video for creating the book. Same size and measurements but the only difference is that the lines on the inside are pink. When I click on the "Launch Preview", it shows me an error for "This text is outside the margins." I'm not sure what's wrong because your example is the same but you're not getting an error message. Please help! Thank u!
I'm having the same exact issue. Did you find a work around at all?
I had the same problem created my own twice and wouldn't accept and also a 3rd with a different merging app. Always gave me the red triangle on the odd page numbers. (must be a relevance !!!) anyway gave up and purchased his own 120 lined pages from his website.
I can then relook at this another time.
I'm having the same issue. Is there any solution by now other than purchasing from his website?
Hit your bleed button and see if that fixes it.
Mine keeps saying that the expected cover size is 12.520x9.250 but the submitted file size is 8.500x11.00. Watched both video 5xs, followed every step and not getting through that part, so I'm just stuck
Thanks Paul for all your videos, you are definitely my #1 go-to resource for anything KDP. I officially started my KDP journey today, I submitted my first low content book 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽, hopefully I get approved . Thanks again
Congratulations on getting started!
Thanks for the instructions. I watched your other video about designing the cover and interior and I followed along to everything you said. The weird thing is that Amazon is telling me that the first 20 pages has "text outside the margins" but they look the same as the other 100 pages that do not need to be fixed. I'm kind of stuck at this point 😅
same
@@kamitriangle7618 how did u solve it
@@abiya7711 i went back and adjusted all pages in the manuscript making sure the lines stayed inside the margins, then it was approved
@@kamitriangle7618 How did you do this? I can't figure out how to adjust or set margins in canva.
@@nicolerenaud166 you have to type the lines again, make them not reach the very end. You can try making it a little smaller than you did and if its not approving still you make it smaller and smaller until it does
Wow, thank you so much.I just published my 1st book❤❤❤ followed your videos. You are awesome.
Congratulations!! 👍👍
Hi Paul, Yes , I'm so glad Amazon KDP have that flag there of checking if there are any copyright issues with your i.e journal, prior to it being published on their platform. This would be the main thing I would be concerned about as I haven't published a low content book yet, I am watching your videos to learn as much I can. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome. Glad you’ve found it useful.
Thanks! Great tutorial. I’ve actually had much quicker review times as of late fortunately... maybe review times are getting back to normal finally? 😀
That’s good 👍 Hopefully all the journal spammers have gone away! 😆
Hello Paul, just want to say. Thank you so much for opening it with lots of clarity. You are an awesome teacher, Sir.
Thank you. Glad you found it useful.
Hi Paul. I followed your video step by step and I love the detailed description. Thanks for showing us how to create a book. However I have an error message saying for the first 20 pages saying the text is outside the margins. Can you give an explanation as to why that is happening? Is this happening to anybody else? Would really appreciate a rely.
The quickest way to solve the problem is go to my Gumroad shop (link in description), download the free 120 page lined interior and just upload that to KDP.
omg I was having the same problem. But he just made things so much easier by having a ready-to-download template. Thanks @Phahima for asking the question, and thanks @Paul for the answer + template!
hey paul really good contenet i watched both videos it took me all day to play pause and replay and rewind the videos to write step by step by word so i wouldnt get anything wrong hopefully i will have my first kdp book out there very soon hopefully this week thank you for all your knowledge
Thank you. Glad you found the video useful. Best of luck with creating your book. 👍
When doing a puzzle type book, do you include the "description/copyright page as the first page and, if so, is there a blank page between that and the actual first puzzle? Love your videos - they are especially helpful to a newbie :)
I don't usually put a copyright but yes, a description would go on the first page. Then I would normally put the first puzzle on page 3, which, as you say, would leave a blank page between page 1 and the first puzzle.
Words cannot describe how wonderful you're,,, Thank you soo much...
You’re welcome and thank you too.
Thanks Captain! Cant wait to try this. Can personal photos be used on the cover?
Yes, can’t see why not.
You have made completing my dream of publishing writing elements for homeschoolers and students a reality. Uploaded my first KDP book today and the feeling is remarkable. Bless you Sir, keep it up!
Thank you so much for the helpful videos!!! I am having issues with errors in the manuscript though, because the lines are outside of the guides, even though I selected bleed. They were all rejected. Do you know how to fix?
Without looking at it, very difficult to say. I do have a free lined interior in my gumroad shop if you wanted to try that instead.
Paul I can't say thank you enough ! I've just been through both your How to make content and how to upload to KDP tutorials, mirroring what you do at each click and have !just ! right now ! had my first LCB accepted by Amazon for Publication and it is such a great feeling ! Thanks so much. Really. You have made it possible for me to do this. I was struggling to understand other people telling me what to do from their own platforms and you have cut through all that and made sure I don't miss a thing and by following your calm and clear, step-by-step advice I am now off and running and already starting to plan my second book. Thank you Paul. Wishing you very well indeed. J
Hey! Have you made any sale?
Thank you so much for this! Does KDP allow us to print on the back of pages? (For example planner on one page, then lined sheet on theback for notes [and repeat])
Yes, of course. No problems.
I just published my first journal following your great videos. Thank you very much!
Congratulations and well done for taking the first step.
If I'm doing single sided pages, do I upload blank pages (on the PDF) in between the illustrated ones?
One side is blank. Yes, you do that.
I love you Paul. I watched you video step by step, you are awesome. I watched other video, you are the man. Thanks for all your information 😘😘😘
Thank you. Glad you found the video useful. 😊
For some reason, the first 20 pages have an error: "This text is outside the margins." I don't understand this since all the pages are identical? Hopefully someone has some insight.
The quickest way to solve the problem is go to my Gumroad shop (link in description), download the free 120 page lined interior and just upload that to KDP.
I am having the same exact issue but I followed the directions step by step! My first 20 pages which are the same as my last 100 say there's text outside the margins.
@@paulmarles you saved me a lot of headache by offering this option. Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you, just hit publish on my first journal. Now the waiting game begins and I can create more while I wait.
COngratulations! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
My lined pages are coming back with an error on KDP due to margin errors, I dont know what to do!
Have you got the bleed setting in KDP set correctly?
how did you solve it?
Paul Marles, Thank you for all of your help. May God bless you and your loved ones always in Jesus name!
You’re welcome and thank you too.
You are such an Amazing Teacher. Thank you very much for the details. God Bless you, and your family 🙏

You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Hi Paul, your videos might be not relevant to me but I came here to just listen to you and to see your good look, I am really into watching your style.
Thank you 🙏
Hello Paul, I am so grateful to find your link today. I had been struggling financially and trying to find something to do with less stress on my left arm. Now that, I had followed your step and finally completed the process of creating a notebook and submitting it on Amazon KDP. I do hope my passing the 72hours will result in my notebook being published on Amazon. You are the first person with a clear understanding and guidance I could see myself following. Thanks again for your mini teachings.
Congratulaions on publishing your book. I'm glad you were able to put the information into action.
@@paulmarles Thanks Paul, now waiting patiently to see if I will make any sales at all. I have a question to asked. I am thinking of writing short stories but wondering, would it be possible to use a 6" X 9" hard cover or paper cover and how can I go about doing this for short stories, please?
Published my first notebook for teens. Really interesting business model with potential. I’m definitely gonna give this some consistent effort over a year and see where it can go! Thanks man
You're welcome. Best of luck. 👍

Thank you 👍
I have just published my first notebook on Amazon, thanks to your help! I know it is a long road to get noticed over there but I have done my first to see how it goes. I have some ideas for logbooks and stuff but I will take my time to lean and take it slow. Thanks!
Congratulations! That's great to hear. 👍
I am about to publish for first journal thanks to your excellent tutorials!!🙂
Congratulations! That's great to hear.
@@paulmarles Hi Paul, so like i said I'm getting ready to publish my first self-care journal with prompts. It's formatted for paperback but just wondering should i not publish it for hardcover... aren't hardcover journals more in demand than paperback format?! I myself personally only buy hardcover journals. Also is it safe to use quotes in my journal? I credit the quotes when known.
I had a lot of trouble getting past the errors. Even with bleed on it did not like the lines going past the margins. Took me three tries and I think I crashed the whole system. Or maybe their system crashed caused the problems I had? Anyway, it's done and I'm waiting on the money to start flowing in... OK, I know it will take about 10,000 more books, but now I'm excited and will work on some low content books I have ideas for. Great work Paul and much appreciated.
Congratulations and best of luck. Just keep working at it. 👍
Thanks for your time and effort. I appreciate your clear and concise instructions.
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful.
You are so amazing and helpful Paul. Thank you!
Just uploaded my 1st LCB. The tutorials are really helpful. Thank you, Captain.
