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 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.
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. 😅
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!!
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
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.
@@denisedeakins4828 Same here. Medium content is the sweet spot for me currently, because it allows for that creatviity but they don't take too long to make and there are enough ways to differentiate yourself to help your books stand out.
They are just youtubers that sell you a idea but nothing is easy. Using inflated number is what make me not to watch this videos. Now stay away big platforms because they will close your account with no warning and no explanation, specially KDP and Etsy.
THERE IS but you can’t be planning to make these kind of money in a couple of months 😂😂😂😂 I see a lot of people complaining about not making sales but they have not even published 3 books
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?
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.
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?
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. 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.
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.
@@hannahebeling No I wasn’t able to take advantage of the coupon. I did contact them to ask if they would apply the coupon before they charged my card….but apparently not. 😔
Hi Caroline, sorry it's been giving you trouble. The 20% off should work on any subscription. Make sure when you copy the code you don't include quotation marks or punctuation.@@CarolineJensen
@@hannahebeling I also get a error message when trying to register with the free trial on the monthly Newbie subscription. I used your direct link and tried both upper and lower case making sure there was no punctuation. Any ideas?

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

I absolutely love KDP amazon. This video has so many valuable information. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. KDP has been on my todo list , I just kept putting it off
It definitely can feel daunting, but once you make the first one it gets easier from there!
Same here, but Hannah, you've made it seem really easy!😀
Thanks for this video I really love your content and the way you explain xx

Agreed. I thought they didn't assign ISBN numbers anymore for low content.
Creative fabrica has some kdp interiors as well

Thanks, Hannah, this is a great video. I appreciate the new ideas on how to expand with new products.
Glad it was helpful!
amazing content! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for demonstrating this software. I made the purchase using your code 🎉❤
Hope you enjoy it!
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
You can totally just do this as an individual!
@@hannahebeling Thank you for your response 🙏🏻 I'll give it a try 😊
I wish you good luck and appreciate everything you are sharing!
There was a "Journal Writing" option under the "Self-Help" subcategory choices.

Hannah, is it possible to use BookBolt for POD sites - journals on Printify or Printful?
Dear Hannah, can we use VPN when we upload our books to KDP?
Is there a way to show interior pics of books on Kdp, I have a few live but it just shows the cover

Thanks Hannah. What is the binding for these books?
They are paperback bound!
Fantasztikus! a BOLT magyarul van írva 😏
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 typically design all my t-shirts as 4500x5400px, so that is what I had used.
Do you have to use book bolt or can you use your design suite for graphics and printify for the actual book?
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.
Hanna am finding difficulties
what about Ai you didint show that are we going to press yes or no to AI
In KDP how do you find blank pages for journals with lines.
Book Bolt has lots of blank and lined page options too.
Your low-content book can take seven days to be approved and with lots of prayers, they might possibly sell a couple.
Does KDP require all your banking information to get started. Always worry about the scammers.
To create an account, you will have to give amazon your tax and payment info.
I also cannot use the coupon code. It says no such coupon.
Double checked again with the Book Bolt team and it should be working. Were you able to get it to work?
@@hannahebeling No I wasn’t able to take advantage of the coupon. I did contact them to ask if they would apply the coupon before they charged my card….but apparently not. 😔
I'm having trouble with the coupon code.
I just changed it from capital to lower case: ebeling20. Let me know if that works better!
Thank you! I appreciate it. I have been looking at this for years! @@hannahebeling
I am getting the same error. Is is on a particular subscription? Like annual or Pro?
Hi Caroline, sorry it's been giving you trouble. The 20% off should work on any subscription. Make sure when you copy the code you don't include quotation marks or punctuation.@@CarolineJensen
@@hannahebeling I also get a error message when trying to register with the free trial on the monthly Newbie subscription. I used your direct link and tried both upper and lower case making sure there was no punctuation. Any ideas?
Hi Hannah, are you able to upload your own pages for the inside of the book, or do you have to use the templates provided
You can totally upload your own pages too!
In KDP there us TOO TOO TOO HIGH HIGH HIGH COMPETITION !!!!@
Stay away from KDP they will close your account even if you play by their rules and give you no warning or explanation.
