Hi Paul. Great video as usual, however in my view there are two challenges with this niche.
Most of the crossword books on first page are either from major publishing houses like the various Newspapers and therefore well known brands or they are not KDP books at all as they are spiral bound.
Secondly if you want your book to be unique then using someone else's words/clues is not ideal and you need to create you own; same also applies if you are targeting a small sub niche and that's where the time is taken up unless I've missed a resource out there......
But having said all that negative stuff, I would agree this is STILL a WORTHWHILE niche
I went into it about 3 months ago and as an example I've sold 15 copies of one book in the last month in a small sub niche with NO advertising other than putting it up on Pinterest. Not massive but for my first crossword book not bad.
Yes, it’s a tough competitive niche but a potentially very lucrative one. I’ve not used Pinterest yet for my book’s but something I’ve considered.
thank paul for all your useful info
You’re welcome 👍
This video is very informative. Thank you!
You're welcome. 👍
nice video! I would like to see your keyword everywhere config in one video
Good work thank you
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing your research crossword puzzle books for KDP. The puzzle makers you noted seem great for targeting kids. I wonder if there is affordable crossword puzzle software that creates more complex puzzles. Something I’ll check out in the future.
I haven’t found any feee or low cost versions. Puzzlemaker does have a paid version of their software which may allow more complex crosswords but I haven’t used that.
wow.. Great video.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 👏👏👏👏

I saw lot of videos by all make money online gurus and they are all 💩.. you are the only one who don't say crap. Its really useful
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much
You’re welcome.
You seem so relaxed on your videos. Maybe you might consider sharing the software you use and tips on how you make them! BTW I've seen many times on your videos, that you check out the top 3 books for sales rank by hovering over. What app are you using to achieve this? It looks super handy.
It’s called DS Amazon Quick View
@@paulmarles Ty!
Thanks. Could you please make a list of keywords for monthly planners? Or planners generally? Looking forward to that. Thanks.
I’ll put it on my list.
Paul, a few weeks ago I started on KDP, Teespring, Merch by Amazon and Redbubble, our of pure lockdown boredom. I’ve uploaded planners, colouring books, games and so on, and I have 50 books on KDP and I’ve made £60 in just a few weeks. But, I never see anyone putting a copyright page in their books with the ISBN numbers given by Amazon. Every time I upload a book, I have to create a different copyright page, well, I have to copy and paste the ISBN from Amazon into each separate interior before uploading, or do I? Is it something I don’t have to do? Simply upload the interior without adding in the ISBN? Cheers, Steve
No, you don’t have to do that. I’ve never done that and not heard of others doing it.Good results 👍👍 Keep going.

hahahahhhahahaha! I'm dyin', I am DONE!!!!😂😂😂😂
Hi paul!
Pleas can you make a video about log boks.
thnaks alot ✌✌
This week 👍
I recently subscribed to your channel. I am looking for the dimensions of an activity book like crossword, search words etc. I would appreciate it if you could please make a video on how to create an activity book with the correct dimensions of the book. I greatly benefited from your video on how to create a notebook on canva.
Take a look in my KDP activity book playlist on the channel. There are many videos there on activity books, puzzle books etc.
Thank you for the valuable information.
Can you tell us in a video about mistakes made by publishers whose native language is not English?
We may make mistakes, and we may not match American taste in some cases.
The biggest mistake I see is spelling mistakes on the book and in the title/ subtitle. I think that definitely puts buyers off.
Thanks Paul, I am not a native speaker, just start kdp two months. From your experience Is this month low season, I haven't got any order since first June.?
Normally sales would be less but due to lockdown they have no increased. I’ve noticed a slight decrease for June.
This is great, thank you, Paul. Offhand, do you know which software out there provides the LARGEST size of crosswords? I see some software packages that only have smaller crossword templates: it is my experience that even middle school aged kids can and will do large crosswords, and rather quickly, at that. Thanks!
The only ones I'm familiar with are in the video. I don't know which software would do the largest and be ok to use commercially.
@@paulmarles K, thank you.
AMZ kekyword expander provides those blue lines and search estimates? Mine doesn't seem to have that info with the blue lines. Hmmm...
You need to pay $10 for 100,000 credits.
Hi, Paul !
I've visited Crossword Labs and I like it... but I can't see how you print and save the crossword with the solutions (like in many other propose so you can print them in your book too) ... unless you keep a copy of your own lists and give the lists as a solution... a little bit of a hassle because you have to number your lists, now. Is it how you do it ?
Thanks for the insight :-)
Yes, I mentioned in the video that exporting them is a bit tricky. I’m the drop down list on the top right you chose ‘answer’ and it will give you the solution. Hope that helps.
@@paulmarles Thanks... I'll see that...
Great video. Do you guys upload these as public domain?
Hi Lucia, I don’t. I don’t know about others.
@@paulmarles Then what do you do when amazon asks for the publishing rights? Thanks for replying!
❤️ ❤️
I have a video request, can you please make a video explaining the right way to choose categories? Thanks
Done one already. Take a look in my book tutorials playlist.
Hi. I hope you can help me. if i had a sudoku book (500 puzzles) how many copies would i sell per month? Thank you
No idea!!!
There are too many variables to be be able to answer that. Publish and see.
Is there a course or a book you would recommend on being successful with KDP? I've published over 12 books and have sold very few over the past 3 years. I'm looking for a way to make at least $25 a month per book. I'm a graphic artist and a direct response copywriter so the production and sales copy is easy for me. But getting sells with KDP has been a challenge.
The course I originally bought is no longer available. I know a RUclipsr called Stackinprofits has a course. I will be doing one but it will be a few months away.
Please recommend a site for crossword clues....which is Safe to use commercially.
There is no site as such for crossword clues. You have to think up the questions yourself. Or look at quizzes and reword the questions.
Do any of the services you are promoting offer a large print crossword option?
No. But you could just enlarge a normal sized one I would’ve thought.
You made this keyword book over a year, is it update now, I would like to get one
Yes, it’s still relevant. I will be updating these older videos to freshen them up with new content.
Hi Paul, Why have you started using Windows?
My MacBook wasn’t up to editing videos. Too slow. So my son built me a superfast Windows machine. Was a bit difficult to move over but getting used to it now. I prefer Mac but too expensive for the configuration I need.
Why do we convert it to a PPT and not something else?
It's just one of many ways of putting the interior together and creating the pdf file. You are not creating a PPT but using the software to create a pdf to upload to KDP.
@@paulmarles Thank you!
I am waiting for the log book video?
This week 👍
Hey paul,
I'm confused.
I'm not selling books in the US (I'm UK) even though I always make the US my main market.
The last months sales have been 98%UK and very low compared to previous months.
I know there's a covid message on the book report home page, but it's a bit vague.
Do you have any decline in US sales?
Or any idea what could be the problem?
(I use US keywords also)
Do you have many books listed? I don’t know what the reason would be. Could be many factors. I’ve found the opposite in that my US sales have increased and UK dropped.
@@paulmarles 1700 just can't understand what's going on. I feel like maybe newer UK based joiners being penalised but that can't be. Can I DM you with a book to advise me?
Hi Paul. Loved your video as usual. FYI Puzzlemaker.com has a little blurb on their website that says "Permission is granted to print unlimited copies of puzzles if used for classroom use only." I thought you would like to know that before you go too far down that rabbit hole. I have already started using Crossword Labs because the $10 is worth it. Of course I also bought the keywords from Gumroad. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. I think I’d you pay for puzzlemaker you can use them commercially. I will double check.
