Have you tried out A+ content on KDP yet? Which of the 5 ways to use A+ content that I talked about in this video will you use in your next low-content book listing? Tell me in the comments below!
I often make things in pairs- like using the same cover for a planner and a journal. I like the idea of being able to showcase the item in use and also recommend a pairing item that would go well with it.
I did but it looks like it is not showing in other countries. I'm in South Africa and my A+ content never showed. I did follow the guidelines, so it could not have been rejected. So, I'm quite frustrated.
Every time I have a question I come to your channel and you have a video about it, I am learning so much thanks to you, can't wait to have a go at A+ content! Thank you again!
Thanks Rachel for a fab presentation with delivery, communication all articulated in a way easy to understand & digest. I’d never heard of A+ Content till today yet you made it easy for me to grasp! 🙏🏾🙏🏽
Once again, you have hit it out of the Park with your videos. As I am new to this, I am learning as much as I can to maximize my results, so this is so very welcomed thank you. As I lost my job as a pilot due to the current Global Covid 19 pandemic, I am looking for other ways to continue to provide for my family, so once again, thank you.
Hi Rachel, Thank you for the content, very useful! I would like to ask what happens when the low content journal is approved by amazon it shows live, however, when clicking on the show it o amazon, it states "currently unavailable". How does a print on demand book unavailable? and how do I fix that? Thank you
Thanks for the video and great to see you back! Which books do you think we should use A+ for? It would be overwhelming to do A+ for all books. Which is the most profitable use of time? making more books or making A+ for the books you have already?
Hello Rachel. Thank you for your RUclips videos. I love watching them. You are easy to listen to and very informative. I am trying to watch all your videos to help me make a start into no-content and low content publishing. However I'm getting a little overwhelmed. Can you please give me a little direction about what order someone who knows nothing about this industry should watch your videos. Do you have a list of the suggested sequence so that the bigger picture steps are in order not just the steps within the video. Does that any sense?
Hi Bronwyn! I don't have a suggested sequence. Have you downloaded my free guide (link the description)? I'd start there and then see what videos on my channel relate to each step of the process outlined in the guide. I hope that helps!
Hi Rachel! Thanks for this great video. Do you have any examples of a book with this A+ content added to it (maybe one of your own books or one of your clients' books)? I would love to see the actual Amazon listings. I think that would help me visualize how it will work on the Amazon site. Thanks, Erin
I am new to KDP but I would like to make a first great impression as a publisher.. Thank you for the insight on the A+ content. I am not much of photographer and still not sure how to go about illustrating the content in each book making it available to the reader and displaying it correctly . My being new to KDP I have more questions then you could shake a stick at. Another concern is SEO . Keywords, Title, Description.. Does it apply the same way as Website Seo ? THX
A+ content quadrupled my sales on one of my bestsellers and tanked the sales of another one...still testing to see what works and what doesn't. However, i cant for the life of me figure out how to make the images less blurry! I've literally tried everything and the software just spits out an ugly version of the A+ content I worked so hard on.
Your video was super helpful! Quick question - can you upload a book trailer or video to A+ content for a low content book? I can't figure out how to do so as the modules don't appear to accept video files. Is there another way?
Some great ideas here! I have been using A+ Content, but am really struggling to get the quality right. I’m a graphic designer by trainer so I understand specs and I’m definitely meeting them (although different guides suggest different ones), but it’s so blurry! And no full width image modules like the examples at the beginning of your video. Have you been able to get your A+ Content looking good? Any tips for a frustrated author? 😅😅
hello Raquel, I love your videos, they are very good, one question I already created the A+ content and Amazon already approved it, but I don't see it in my publication... how can I solve it...
I created the A+ content for my coloring book the first week Amazon came out with it. At the time, the "look inside" feature was delayed and it was a great way to show what was inside my book! I love it. It allowed me to show specific pages that the Look inside feature did not show (eventually, after a month, the LI feature became available.) I use it to show specific coloring pages as examples of the various levels of coloring difficulty. Also shown is the coloring wheel page that all my coloring books have. Although I describe the Coloring Wheel page in my book description, something which no other coloring book has, by giving the customers a real look at that page is very good for promoting my book and because it is in the back of the book, it would never be in the "Look Inside".
@@RachelHarrisonSund After checking the best selling independently published coloring books very few have begun to use the A+ content, I only found one. I do not think it was well advertised, in fact I would not have known about it except I found out about it on Keith Wheeler's youtube.
I noticed that the books used as examples are not self published on Amazon unless I have missed the spiral bound, affordable colour print button. I can't help wondering if my fairly original but basic black and white printed books would suffer by comparison to these example books if I tried to promote them with A+ content. I would LOVE to be able to sell spiral bound via KDP, when are they going to give us that option?
Thanks for the video, i always see 4 packs of composition notebook with different covers being bought together and become confused on how to do that. Is that A+ content?
I just want to know how to add more pictures to the standard listing instead of just the amazon default front and back. Like when I see sellers in coloring books that have pictures of every page.
Hi! I love your videos and wanted the free guide. Unfortunately the link does not work. I received the email, but after trying every method imaginable, the link never opens. I was trying to get: 3 Steps to Publishing Your First Low-Content Book in Less Than a Day: Is there another way to access it?
Hi Ginny! When you click the link the guide should appear in your Downloads folder. Did you check there? If it's not there, you can respond to the email and ask support to send you another copy.
So I understand this correctly, I can upload Module One for my entire Pen Name brand's ASIN books? Then I can individualized the next modules to fit the individual ASINs books? I'm looking at this strategy like it's batching the A+ content right?
Do you have any advice for anyone struggling with sales? I have completely original journals and my sales have stopped. I have no money for ads so i was hoping to get some organic sales.
Have you checked out this video? It should help you determine how to pinpoint what part of the process needs to be improved. ruclips.net/video/ruPsFMw3GzM/видео.html
How do you create a link in your A+ content to other books in your series, or other books you authored, Can you just copy and paste a link to a book in the text area of the module - or will the ASIN work as a link? Many thanks!
have a question. I'm on KDP (first time doing this) and everytime I am trying to get my book up and going it says "your book has 0 pages. It must have atleast 79 pages to fit this spine" where do I fix that at?? I have been trying to fix that since yesterday :(
Hi Rachel. Thank you so much for all your great videos. They are so helpful and enjoyable. I have created a series of 9 Halloween composition notebooks and have added A+ content. I saw that I am limited to 5 sections. However, I am sure I have seen A+ content with more sections. Are these Amazon sellers? Thanks for clarifying 😀
Thanks for the overview Rachel! I'm setting up A+ content for my most popular selling book to start. It'll be interesting to see if it increases sales. Is that what you've found?
I write actual novels so this information doesn't completely connect with what I do however, I was thinking of making a short video of the location where I set a novel. Before I think to much about it can this function handle video?
Why does my journal show "In Stock Soon" when it is a kdp print on demand book? This makes people think it is not available. Is there a way to change this?
▶︎ Hey Melanie, this happens to everyone at some point or other. Don't worry about it, it might appear that way when you look at your book on Amazon, but other people looking at your book will probably see that it is available.
So if publishing a book. Do you load the book to KDP and then save it as a draft. Go to CANVA and prepare your A+ content. That way as soon as your book is live you can immediately place the A+ content to your book?
Thank you:) Great video. I am working on my A+ content now. It is a lot but I can see the benefits of it. Rachel can you tell me how Amazon looks at the keywords in A+ content. Do they take it into account at all? And what about Google. Is it worth putting keywords in A+content (not keyword stuffing) to increase the discovery of the book? Thank you:)
Glad you found it useful! I don't know if Amazon crawls this content for keywords-it's my understanding that it doesn't crawl for keywords in the description, so I imagine it won't for A+ Content either. However, Google would be crawling the whole page, so you may want to consider using some of your keywords in this content where it makes sense. Which of the 5 ways I talked about do you think would work best with your own LC books?

I did but it looks like it is not showing in other countries. I'm in South Africa and my A+ content never showed. I did follow the guidelines, so it could not have been rejected. So, I'm quite frustrated.
Oh this is so exciting ! I as a buyer love when people have more information and looks inside the book, so I can’t wait to do this for my own books.

This is the first time I hear/read about A+. I guess I have some extra work to do this weekend. Thanks Rachel. 👍

How is it going? Are you making progress?
Thank you for such an informative video Rachel. I have a question, does one have to be brand registered in order to upload A+ content on Kdp?
