Thank you so much for this. I would just like to ask if it is possible to publish in amazon a book that I have already self-published or published with another publisher? Thank you in advance
Excellent video, thank you. So you just upload the book and Amazon prints it when a customer buys it? The printing part is what I'm most confused about.
I have been scared to get my book on Amazon. I thought the process was difficult. Thank you for bring so kind to share your journey with us. Very helpful. Do you have fears of finding your book on free to download sites.. pdf.drive etc ?
Hello Evelyn, great tutorial thanks for sharing it. I don't know exactly why but my publication on KDP keeps giving me the Draft status... it says something like Paperback actions but it doesn't mention what is wrong with it. Any idea on how to solve this problem? Thanks
Thank you. You need to go through all sections to check you have completed everything. It looks like there is something not finished. Have you been able to preview the book and approve it?
Thank you so much, I always appreciate your prompt response. Please I have another question. My paperback book has been published but I don't know how to get someone to buy. An interested reader asked me how he can get it, please how will he go about it. Thank you
First, I wanna thank you for your enlightening video. I just have a question as I'm a newbie in such stuff. Ok, you, as an owner / publisher of the book, you only have to upload the book (pdf) and that's it? I mean does Amazon take care of the printing process? So when the customer purchases the book, Amazon ships it to his/her house in a paperback version, right? Sorry for such questions, I can't gather my thoughts right. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! Yes that is right. Once you have completed the set up and it’s available on Amazon, when they order, Amazon prints and sends direct to the customer. You can however, buy author copies at a reduced rate to sell. You can see how on his video: ruclips.net/video/VokH2LDKS7Q/видео.html
Very detailed video! You have a nice and soothing voice that is easy to understand. I have a question, does KDP add an extra blank page at the end of your book, or do you manually add it as part of the manuscript? Thanks.
Thank you for your kind comments Edgar. You can preview how your book is going to look before you publish and check the pages. Yes, amazon will add a blank page at the end depending on number of pages. I found this video made by someone who has looked into this which you might find helpful: ruclips.net/video/Fcymc76v_EQ/видео.html
Hello, first, thanks for the video. it's very helpful but i do still have a question: how do you exactly order the number of books you want to print? my best
You can do many things such as share on social media to friends and family, do free offer days, pay to advertise on socials, promote on your website, email campaigns, check you have used effective key words on KDP… It’s not going to sell instantly. It will take a lot of hard work.
Yes you can! You can have the same book available as paperback, Kindle and hardback depending on what country you live in 👍 Here is the kindle guide ruclips.net/video/UdbkbPDOUFU/видео.html
You upload one first for example paperback. When published you will see it on your book shelf. It is here you will see the options for publishing the same book as kindle. Or when you click publish for your paperback, a box will pop up and ask you do you want to publish as kindle. This is how they will be kept together and appear together on Amazon.
Underrated video ... definitely deserves more likes amd views ! Very detailed and is exactly what I'm looking for , quick question tho ! When you go to upload the file for the pages does it already need to be saved as the book size or can you change that in the process before publishing?
Yes could get away with doing that. Obviously when you preview you will see errors but you do have the opportunity to upload it again until you fix errors before publishing. Thanks for your kind comments!
Thanks for the helpful video. I’m a newbie…If there is an error in the book after print and you upload a new manuscript with corrections, does this affect things like the book reviews? Would they start over at zero? Thanks!
No not at all. That's the brilliant thing about self-publishing, you have full control of the content. It will not affect your reviews. It just changes your book availability to not available until it has been updated and approved.
Thanks for this. It's amazing. But please I'll like to ask a question. Are you the one to print out the book? Or Amazon does that for you and send to clients? Thanks as I await your response.
Very helpful, thank you. I want to print five or ten 'printed proofs' for my test readers 'before' I go live. Your video seemed to say the 'select printed proofs' is done at the same time as going live. Can we do the printed proofs without going live and how many can we do in one batch?
I'm so pleased you are finding the channel helpful. That is a very good question! Yes you can order proof copies before going live! You can order up to 5 at a time and it will have 'not for resale' printed on the cover and no ISBN. Here is the link with further information: kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G202131440
I have two books live now, my question is how do you get them to be available for Prime? Am I missing something?? Its saying it can take up to two weeks for delivery.
Hi Keri, congratulations with your books. I would have thought it would automatic for Prime offers. I'm wondering if you should be logged into a Prime account to view it. Can you send me a link so I can check if I can see the Prime delivery on them?
Thank you so much for this video and congrats on publishing this exciting book! May I ask you what font size you used for the regular text - Amazon recommends 11 pt Garamond font and I was just wondering if that will be readable (or if I should go for 12 pt). My book will be as small as yours I am assuming (5.06 x 7.81 inches).
Wow thank you so much! I had so much fun researching and writing these stories. The book in this video is 5 x 8 inches and I used Garamond font style 14pt. I went for a larger print as it was aimed at younger children. In my novel however, Mary Draper Dream's of Castle in the Sky (5 x 8 inches), I chose to use Garamond font style with a smaller font of 11pt which is readable. Good luck with your publishing and thank you for using my channel!
When you’re creating a PDF for the content in side the book, does the first page has to be blank? This is because if the first page has text will it not print directly behind the cover?
No. Does not need to be blank. You usually have your book title and name on first page. Have a look at other books to see what they have content wise. KDP do a previewed for when you upload to check how it looks before you publish.
Thank you for this wonderful overview! Question: When you want to publish a book both as an ebook and as a paperback, is it best to enter it as a paperback first, so that you can get an ISBN number? If you enter it as an ebook first, they don't even offer to give you one, or so it seems. (I hope my question makes sense. I can overcomplicate anything!)
Thank you for your comments Barbara. It doesn't matter which you publish first. Kindles do not require an ISBN number, Amazon will assign it a 10-digit ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to the eBook, and is an identification number for the Kindle eBook on Amazon.. You can, however, add your own if you have a publishing house but you should not use but KDP advise: Do not use an ISBN from a print version of your book; eBook ISBNs must be unique to eBook versions. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the answer. I have published one ebook; I am preparing another to publish as a kindle. Otherwise, I intend to make one paperback adding the two subject matters. ....
If I want to sell paperback copies of my book throught KDP, then the Royalties calculator suggests that I might get 60% of what is left after taking away the printing costs from the retail price. But what about the shipping costs to the customer? Does Amazon cover it or that is also taken out of my royalties? I doubt what would be left for me if the shipping cost is also taken from my royalties as I'm sure the VAT or such tax will also come out of my royalties. Could you kindly answer this please?
@@TheEvelynWintersAdventure Thank you Evelyn. But most books I see on Amazon that are around £10 price mark are available with free delivery option on Amazon. So I was not sure who is going to bear that cost? Apologies for asking but I'm a total novice in this.
Why does my print format cover thumbnail lose quality and look washed out? The eBook image is fine. Do you upload your pdf cover file as RGB or CYMK? Thanks.
@@TheEvelynWintersAdventure Hey. Yeah it's fine until it's uploaded. My proof copies should be arriving tomorrow. So I can see how it prints out. If they appear fine, I can see what happens when I publish the book, in regards to the thumbnails.

Thank you so much for the video, I am greatly relieved. I have another question. Please how will I get the notification for my royalties as well as how will I withdraw my royalties when ever my book is bought as a Non US publisher?
I have a question about content for 18 and under. I have a romance novel for young people and it has 3 sex scenes, not explicit but it is obvious the couple has intercourse. Would that not be allowed by KDP. Are there some guidelines about this?
Good question. It’s difficult to find the answer on KDP. You could try asking the KDP community. Also, I found this link on Reddit, someone asking the same question. www.reddit.com/r/selfpublish/comments/7hdmmz/whats_considered_adult_content_in_kdp/
@@TheEvelynWintersAdventure thanks, the reddit discussion helped. My novel has no cursing or swear words, only one violent scene, not graphic. I think I will say it's okay for 18 and under.

Do you mean publish a kindle? Is there anything outstanding in your KDP account such as signing the tax form?
The book PDF looks fine but when I preview it it looks blurry, was it like that for you? If not what can I do to fix this?
First of all, have you ensured all images are at least 300 dpi? When saving your book to pdf, click on Preferences and select High-quality print
Even when my book has reached the requirements for expanded distribution, they are still disenabling me from clicking on it 🙄🙄

Is it possible to earn 100% royalties from book
It depends where and how you publish.
I have a question about content for 18 and under. I have a romance novel for young people and it has 3 sex scenes, not explicit but it is obvious the couple has intercourse. Would that not be allowed by KDP. Are there some guidelines about this?
Good question. It’s difficult to find the answer on KDP. You could try asking the KDP community. Also, I found this link on Reddit, someone asking the same question.

@@TheEvelynWintersAdventure thanks, the reddit discussion helped. My novel has no cursing or swear words, only one violent scene, not graphic. I think I will say it's okay for 18 and under.
@@onenessguy85 Brilliant!
Amazon KDP Publicans scammed me for close to 4 thousand dollars.
That’s awful. Sorry to hear this
