My next one will definitely be an activity book. I didn't know about the maze generator or the color pallet website. I'm about to get that asap. I'm having so much fun. This video is GOLD. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Kim, you are a gem! Thank you so much for this information. You have truly been a Blessing to me by introducing me to so many useful tools. While writing has always been a passion of mine, I have only now, in my later 50's, began to put pen to paper and focus on it. Believe it or not, I actually created an activity book last year! Because I am such a novice at all the tools available to create this type of content, I created my book using Word! Yes, I did! I've got word searches, crossword puzzles, word scramblers, and more, and let me tell you, it looks so good! So, my focus now is to work on getting my book ready for publishing through KDP! Thanks again, and please keep the great content coming! God BLESS you!
Thank you so much for the tools you freely shared in this video. I purchased Bookbolt some time ago, became overwhelmed and let it sit. This has renewed my faith that I can do this. I use Canva all the time and never thought to search for activity pages. Awesome Hack!!!! I'll be sure to check out additional videos you've shared. Keep up the good work.
Thank you because your tutorials are honest and with great content, very helpful for me getting in this new world of digital products. Please keep making more videos on making a living for stay home mums like me.
Wow Kim, I’m so lucky I landed on your video. Super informative Information you shared. Ive used most of the HELPS you mentioned. I’m addicted to Canva and love creating content. I’ve designed, printed & assembled my own planners,Journals,Coloring/activity & etc books. Ive also printed through KDP for my own use. I’m wanting to start actually selling through on KDP. I started out with a cute Easter coloring/activity book for sale on KDP and it did decent considering I didn’t get it up and for sale less than 2 weeks before Easter. Anyway. Thanks for the info. I’ve heard and looked at “the Instant Maze Generator” a while ago but then I lost the name of it. I wasn’t ready back then to use it but I am now!! I’m anxious to listen to all your utubes. Thanks again!!
This is the first video that I have seen of yours and this video is absolute gold for newbies like me. I love the succinct way you explain things and how you edit it. It was so informative and I am just so happy I came across your video. Thank you for doing this high-quality video. Advice and instruction were top notch.
@@YourChicGeek I looked for a video about mazes, but didn't see one. What's the tool you're using for mazes? Did you do a review of the Instant Maze Generator? Thanks.
@@GreenCatQueenthis is a great question. I will probably do a review on the Maze Generator tool that I am using in the new year. Pls be on the lookout for that video. Great suggestion btw :-)
thanks for a great video. I'm using creative fabrica and canva now. I'm trying to create my first activity book and wow, the generator software !! I need that one.
This was extremely valuable! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these. I agree that the more complicated and customized books are a better focus of time. If someone has the ability and desire to create, it will separate them from the pack. It's not quick and easy but that makes it more rewarding when it sells.
Thank you so much. This is so useful and valuable❤. I am new to creating activity books and I use Canva, creativa fabrica. I learned a lot. I will definitely give a try to some of the tools you mentioned.
Fabulous information! Thank you for sharing. I am new to this and I have found all of your videos quite helpful! So much so that I was able to create two journals. Congratulations on your platform and please continue to educate us along the journey.
Hi! I love your videos. I sincerely appreciate what you offer on this platform. This one, as you say, is a "game changer". I will have to view it again to really digest of all the options you listed. I have only published two low content books on KDP but your videos took me through it all. Thank you!
Great video Kim I purchased the Maze Generator but realized I couldn’t upload my images so I need to purchase the Pro. Thank You for taking the time in sharing your tools and making this business less complicated to understand CUZ GURL can we talk 🍸🤪
Great video thanks so much, yes I am very interested in creating these type of books I am having a difficult time learning how to use book bolt its a great tool and I have had it for some time just now getting into this thanks for video I will be subscribing and watching more of your content. 😀
Oh wow. What an informative video. Thanks so much. I learned a lot. I have completed my activities in Canva, waiting for a cover to be designed for me and have a lot of those tools mentioned. I just love the way you describe things, so have subscribed.
I really needed all this info, im just getting started on kdp and I sadly did many things wrong on my first 20 uploads. Maybe this will sound stupid but i was wondering how does amazon show the interior of a book before purchase, i thought it only showed the cover
Hello there! Sooo If youre doing low content books, you will need to add A+ content to shoe the interior of your books. If you are doing Activity Books then you should still have access the look inside feature. I have a video tutorial that shows you how to do A+ content that you should check out. Good luck!
I am new to creating a low content book and I was wondering when you upload your low content book to kDP and a customer orders your book, What is shipped to the customer is it a copy of the digital file you have created? or who arranges for the file to be printed?
Wow! This is by far one of the most valuable videos EVER. QUESTION: I have Canva Pro and typed in Word Search like you said. I see the Templates that came up, but how do I create a Word Search? So I clicked on Animal Word Search and it came up with one page. How do I make a book of them, say 50 pages? (What's the recommended amount of pages?) Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
Helloooo there! So for the word search in Canva, I would suggest perhaps using a word search generator from a tool like Bookbolt, or one of your choosing and then copy the puzzles over into a worksheet in Canva and customize it to your liking. As far as a page count goes, I would suggest looking at your competitors to see how many pages their activity books have to get a feel for that. Hope this helps :-) P.S. I may do a tutorial soon on how to create a Word Search puzzle book in Canva...but all you really need to do is come up with a list of 20-30 word search topics and add them to pages in Canva. I always add an extra pages between all of my books too so that the pages come out one-sided after the books are printed and shipped out. Hope this helps.
Hi, thanks for this! It’s an eye opener! I want to ask a question which is a little dumb. So what app do you finally use to compile these various pages (mazes, puzzles etc?) Do you upload each page on Amazon after it’s done? Or you save them somewhere like google docs or Canva, and then proceed to publish when the book is completed?
Hello. I personally don't think its a good idea to repeat words in a word search puzzle. I would try to use different words as much as possible. Thanks!
Hi thank you for the video. I am looking at doing my own Spanish activity book I have a came a cross a tool call sketchwow. Have you or anyone else tried it is it any good? Thank you
@@nina.tarot.23 that may be the issue. I would recommend reaching out to KDP support via Live Chat or a phone call tomorrow to see what they say and get feedback about this.
@@YourChicGeek just watched your previous videos on coloring book cover and interior. So I got the idea COVER: Width 17.34 in Height 11.25 in INTERIOR width 8.5 inch Height 11 inch Is it ok?
Hello there! Hmmmm not sure about that as I havent looked. You can definitely get around it by using other words like Dot Marker Activity Book. That is not trademarked.
I created a math workbook only colouring, tracing 104 pages but last 2 year i am trying to publish in kdp all time amazon rejecting I don't know what's the problem I can't understand Pls help

thanks for the info about the mazes-- the website looks a little shady, so it's great to know you've purchased and are seeing success!
Sooo I am using a different tool for mazes right now. I plan to make a video on that tool soon!

New subbie here. THANK YOU for creating amazing content!
Thanks- great information. I also use Canva Pro and will definitely look into these other puzzle generators.
Awesome!
Great video, as always!!
Thanks!
Great video, I was able to take a lot away from it 😊. Is there a video where the puzzles are adapted to a theme?
Totally want to learn how to do this.
Just short of words..👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks you so much about your content
Yw!
Great sources for new book developers. I already have Canva Pro and a few others, but these will add to my tool box!
Great to hear!

Hey there! So when a customer orders your book they will get a Printed copy of the complete book. Amazon does all of the work to
ship it to them.

Do you upload each page on Amazon after it’s done?

Hey there! So I use Canva to put the complete book together (aka all of the pages). Hope that helps!
I see the Instant Maze Generator has a few options. Which are best to get Pro, Premium, Elite or combination of?
Hello. Can you do a video and put all these steps in and complete a book?
Question: when I went to purchase the maze generator…on the purchase page, it said “personal use only.” How do you get commercial license? Thanks!
Ty
I noticed the Camping book is color inside. How much more expensive is that?
It costs a little bit more to print in color depending on the type of color option that you choose. Hope this makes sense.
Hi can you tell me can you repeat words in different word search puzzles .. is this ok or not really? Is there a way to scramble a big list of words?
Hello. I personally don't think its a good idea to repeat words in a word search puzzle. I would try to use different words as much as possible. Thanks!
I am having issues with the webpage for Instant Maze Generator.
Hello there! Will get that fixed right away.
Hi thank you for the video. I am looking at doing my own Spanish activity book I have a came a cross a tool call sketchwow. Have you or anyone else tried it is it any good? Thank you
How do I cite the images from Canva?
I created an activity book and KDP rejected it for being a magazine. How can I make sure that my activity book doesn't look like a magazine?
Hello there! So this is really weird. Did you have magazine somewhere in the title?
@YourChicGeek No, but I added cut out flashcards at the back. I wonder if that's the problem 🤔
@@nina.tarot.23 that may be the issue. I would recommend reaching out to KDP support via Live Chat or a phone call tomorrow to see what they say and get feedback about this.
@@YourChicGeek Thank you 😊 🙏
Kids Colouring book size is 8.625 11.2 in so what's the size of it's cover?
It Depends on how many pages you have in your book.
@@YourChicGeek just watched your previous videos on coloring book cover and interior. So I got the idea
COVER:
Width 17.34 in
Height 11.25 in
INTERIOR
width 8.5 inch
Height 11 inch
Is it ok?
Hi,
isn't the phrase "dot markers" a registered trademark?
Hello there! Hmmmm not sure about that as I havent looked. You can definitely get around it by using other words like Dot Marker Activity Book. That is not trademarked.
I created a math workbook only colouring, tracing 104 pages but last 2 year i am trying to publish in kdp all time amazon rejecting
I don't know what's the problem
I can't understand
Pls help

How are they making money at that price point and printed in color? My calculator must be way off! Lol
Peace be upon you.
How are people still saying "kudos" past 1999?
