I started doing these journals but I use canva. Honestly I'm not good at writing the descriptions.I was using a different pen name but found out I can have more than one. I do have several under Constance M. This journal is my favorite and very personal.(190 page book) My Breast Cancer Journal and Much More by Constance M.. My piece of advice is when designing your book put your name on it yourself. I've had trial and error. Yes I actually do it the hard way instead of trying to do short cuts. I'm getting better.But I really need an income due to being out on medical leave. My other pen name is Perfectly Imperfect which is very hard to find my other books because people also use it as book titles so that's why I chose a different pen name. Also even once your book is published you can go back and make some changes by not changing the entire book , can't change the author name, paper type or color of paper it will let you know. I pray that people will look at my Breast cancer journal. Everyone have a blessed day 🦋🦋🦋 Also A Chef Journal, Recipe and Challenge Book by Constance M. I actually love much.
@@lisas4593 no not at all. I even do videos on TikTok, ..I don't have the money to pay for advertising . I just showed the social worker at my cancer center the book and she was in awe she felt the doctors would love it for their patients I gave her a photo copy of the book cover and the back and where to purchase it . I removed a couple of videos to redo. I'm even considering lowering the price. It's not easy at all . I have several journals but this is my favorite. If there's any advice it would be appreciated 💞🙏🏼🦋
Congratulations on you book!!! My best friend just finished her chemotherapy for breast cancer end of June & yesterday (August 2, 2024) she had surgery & Praise Yahweh she's doing well!! I wish you so much success health & wealth in Yahshua's Name Amen 🙏
From what I'm hearing and looking at the comments a lot of people just don't want to put the work in... you have to put the work in... you have to go on there and figure out how to do this the first time so it becomes easy to you. I already have some journals up there but you gave me more ways to create more and to answer everybody's comments in your comments YES this does work... if you put the work in😊😊😊😊
Thanks for the feedback. When you say put in the work, please can you explain further because this clearly is not a 30mins a day work input plus my regular work.
@foodieeplex ok, if you sit down to your computer, bring up the websites you'll be dealing with, go on canva, create, for example using scriptures on a blank page, then download, go over to Esty create a account or if you have one already, as I do, post on there. Basically, do one a day or as many as you can, once you do it and know your order in which you have to operate. It is easier each time. There is no rush. Learn first, get a schedule, and organize yourself. Look at it this way, you haven't earned yet, but putting in patience a d time, it is a great feeling when you start to earn and you go from there. Patience is a Virtue. I learned first. Then do. Trust me, I know you want it to happen immediately. I've been through everything since the 90s and the tools we have now. I am about to work this with absolute joy and patience. You will succeed, I know you hear that, but doing and it actually happens, but you can!!! Ok, just try. You don't have to do everything at once, but you can start somewhere. God speed. Is patience 😁🥰😊👋🏼
Thank you:) Can you explain why KDP always gives an error code. I've signed up for the free trial with Book Bolt and spent hours trying to upload to KDP with no success. Files are downloaded directly from Book bolt and when I upload, both bleed and no bleed, it will not accept. Is there something I'm missing? Please help! Thank you!
Yes but he'll how do you get past the picture and getting the size right and the heading on there that was past right on by and this is the second time that when you get to a certain it just speeded on but , I really appreciate her effort but that will stop anybody and I have still not gotten it done
I made numerous low content books. Three years in a row, I made under $100 for the year. It is worth trying, but don’t expect high daily money from this side hustle. You would have to have something quite unique with like no competition at all. One month, someone ordered 20 of my notebooks, so that was nice, but it is not the norm.
Love your video! Just a quick thought, I had already created a planner in Canva, is there a way I can import this into Amazon KDP? What are your thoughts or recommendations? 🙂
I've been away from your channel for awhile. I forgot how engaging your videos are. I'm about go in for knee surgery and have been thinking about exploring some of your passive income methods during recovery. Thanks for all your research and information.
This is just what exactly what I needed at this time. I started a journal waiting foe approval.. move on to the next ... you're such a blessing . thank you.
Just found your channel and I’m loving it.Your videos are very thorough and it’s really step by step and slow enough for me.I’m going through a divorce and trying to find ways to pay my own bills plus still care for my children at home
So I’m following your steps however I keep getting an issue when I am trying to download the manuscript. It’s saying that there’s something wrong with my interior, but I literally followed a step-by-step. Can you let me know if that all you proceed this message and if you can tell me what it is, I might be doing wrong.
Watching this while getting ready for work 🥺😔 ...... Putting this on my watch later list !! I will definitely be trying TODAY. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION ❤
Thank Ms Hilton you are amazing God had to bring you across my screen thank you so much for you tips on how to become a success business woman all the best and many blessings
This is the first video I actually tried. I gave up so many times with other videos but finally buckled down and tried it yesterday. Waiting for the 72 hour wait time but hopefully this is profitable. Monique can we create coloring book pages off book bolt too? I am going to try to make many different offerings.
Check out her other videos on this topic where she explains a lot more in detail. I hope your situation imoroves. Don't give up Sis! Prayi g & rooting for you!😊
Thank you Monique, i started my side hustle using your video teaching and thank you for have 10% off from book bolt. I am waiting for amazon approval to soar more journals
At point 10:13 in the video she does mention that some people have to run ads: 10:13 without doing anything else some people 10:15 actually have to run ads in order to get 10:18 sales and that's okay too if you have 10:20 the money to put towards that honestly 10:22 when you're starting this out it's going 10:24 to be a lot of trial and error you just 10:26 have to see what works for you but again
You can use an alias or pen name. My mum is a published author of historical romance books and wrote for Harlequin Mills & Boon in the 90s and 2000s, then retired and now just publishes on Amazon. She's always used her pen name. (Amazon itself obviously need your real details for payment, etc)
It does sound like a lot of work to put into this, plus she's going so fast over what you need to do, I'm a older women just looking for something for extra income, she's going over everything to fast for me. I'll try to find something else. thank you
Too many people using the same book designers. You get your account closed within a month or so bcuz Amazon says you infringed on someone else's book ideas..
You need to put a lot of work and effort into creating journals. It's not easy the way it seems, if it were easy, everyone would be sitting home right and creating journals for everything.
Do you have any way of tweaking this for somebody who is visually impaired and does not own a computer? That would be me! And apparently Book Bolt does not have an app. So this is going to be cumbersome to do on a tablet or phone.
Hello, do you have someone in your life that you can trust to assist you? Are there organizations for the visually impaired that provide assistance with technology so you can start creating your own books?
@@stephaniebonds5107 - Believe it or not, no. I didn't know anyone that owns a computer. I don't have a family so I don't have any support. It's all good... I'll find another way.
I have a question how long does a person have to vacate a property after they have lost it at in auction sale does the new owners tell them to leave or do you have to evict them property is in South Florida
I have about 10 books out so far. I ordered one of my own journals and it was so incredible & vibrant so I pushed them on all my social media but I have no results so far. I’m going to add more. Does anybody know of any other ways to promote them ?
The devil is trying to block my blessings. I'm playing your video on my phone and I'm going through the steps on my computer. My computer keeps disconnecting from the internet and freezing 😩 Trying not to get frustrated and give up. Let me woooosaaaa before I throw my computer across the room 😅 I appreciate you sharing. Very helpful information!
It may be because you didn’t stretch the photo completely to cover the entire page. Make sure it goes all the way to the end on the cover. If it doesn’t it will give an error. I hope that helps.
I agree I started 1 1/2 ago by watching your channel. Subscribed to book bolt, by looking at your video. Did some low content books, some medium content books, and some activity books. Account is still open. But have not had 1 sale. I did discontinue membership from book bolt. Not paying for an app, when I'm not gaining any income. In my case it did not work. Yes I put in the time and effort. Good thing it worked for you. For me was a waste of time.
@@Officialjourneywiththehintons Thanks very much! Looks like we'd have to sell over 45 books per day to earn $279 per day...I guess if you have enough books listed it could work if we're in the right niche...?

I’ve been doing this since 2019. I have over 40 books published. It’s a lot of money in this industry
Really.. I just started after watching this video.. I'm praying it works for me also
@@deleonwilliams9399 Yep, I actually just checked Amazon and i’m at my 50th book. Once you get started, it’s addictive and the money is good!
What was the outcome so far?@@deleonwilliams9399

Always make sure with any service that you use for design that the template pages are usable for resale, some of them are not.
Thank you ❤. Be blessed
I have multiple books on Amazon but do you put ads on your books?
I am soooo motivated. I actually played this video stopping to do all that you suggested. I even joined the premium level. I am serious!!!!
Yay good luck hope it works out for you. I’m interested in trying it out too 😆
That does not work for me
I am going to try it.
How is it going?
What was the outcome so far?
I love how this woman always putting people up on game. Bless up mi fren
I just submitted my journal for publishing on amazon. Now on to my next book! Thank you, you are a Blessing!!

Thank you very much for your honest opinion about income. Very much appreciated. ❤
I just made my first two journals last night. My Daily Prayer Journal and Budget Blueprint. Thank you so much.
whats the results of them? its been a month.
Yesterday, I thought why am I not creating a journal as I journal everyday…then today, I see your content on making it! Thank you for the blessing ❤🎉
WOW!!!! My Goodness this is incredible!!! I'm excited to start my first book😊 Thank you sooooo much!!! I'll keep you updated!!!😊
What do you do about copyright and trademarking? Is that necessary for these?
Love your video!
Just a quick thought, I had already created a planner in Canva, is there a way I can import this into Amazon KDP? What are your thoughts or recommendations? 🙂
I have done this it works only if you market it. The pay is low once amazon take their cut.
How much do they take for their cut?
@lisas4593 half of the total price.
So very true. I have published over 100 books on Amazon but I have not done a Advertising or Marketing campaign yet. I will.
@@CherryeBessHello There! Congratulations!!! 100 books is phenomenal. How many have you sold of those 100 books?
Like the way you too real..you go ahead to show results 🎉🎉🎉
How did you make the picture of the cover appear on both sides?
OMG... You be coming through with the info. Thank you for always sharing 🙌🏽
Currently following your steps!! Having trouble with the back cover 😞
Thank you. I’m going to try this for sure. Blessings to you and your family for always giving us great ideas.❤
Can this work for any niche? Like books for digital products?
Do I have to register a business before I open a shop?

This is just what exactly what I needed at this time. I started a journal waiting foe approval.. move on to the next ... you're such a blessing . thank you.
You have to have a platform with a large following to market your products.
From my understanding Amazon doesn't let everyone work for them.
Absolutely

can't find the correct link for the KDP, you're skipping that part
Is this like drop shipping Amazon will send directly to customer is that correct
Thanks for all the help. Is it possible to do a special zoom training for some us
How do taxes work for this process? Is it better to contact a tax rep before proceeding?
Countdown to 1 million🎉
Timely. Thanks for sharing
Do we need a sellers permit or anything?
it keeps saying error when I upload the manuscript and cover photo and it doesn't ask for the pages I've been trying since like 4pm today and no luck
Today is the day, I’m so excited to get started! Thank you Mrs. Hinton, you are so beautiful and so kind. I just love watching your videos!

same here, first thing im trying i pray it works out, all the best to you
make any money so far?
Can any help? My book bolt account only gives 2 options Studio and Mass cover converter? How do I proceed?
My problem is I have trouble understanding how to do stuff, I wish she could teach me one on one. I have so many bills 😢.
Check out her other videos on this topic where she explains a lot more in detail. I hope your situation imoroves. Don't give up Sis! Prayi g & rooting for you!😊
Same here.
There is a RUclipsr named glowithgia she does a step by step on this . And show in her tutorial.
I strongly agree 🤠
Check ivy hang, she will fit in into your pace
What does the amazon KDP app look like? I'm getting multiple options
I'm going to try this out and see what happens.🤞🏾
so what happens ?
Thank you Monique, i started my side hustle using your video teaching and thank you for have 10% off from book bolt. I am waiting for amazon approval to soar more journals
The only way you make money is to advertise she doesn’t tell you that
At point 10:13 in the video she does mention that some people have to run ads:
10:13
without doing anything else some people
10:15
actually have to run ads in order to get
10:18
sales and that's okay too if you have
10:20
the money to put towards that honestly
10:22
when you're starting this out it's going
10:24
to be a lot of trial and error you just
10:26
have to see what works for you but again
This is very helpful.
Is the coupon still valid? I’d like to give it a shot
do u have to use your legal name for the author name or can it be an alias?
You can use an alias or pen name. My mum is a published author of historical romance books and wrote for Harlequin Mills & Boon in the 90s and 2000s, then retired and now just publishes on Amazon. She's always used her pen name. (Amazon itself obviously need your real details for payment, etc)
Started and finished my 1st journal book today. Thanks for your help.
Daily Prayer Journal for 365 days lfg
Which software do you use to record and show your tutorials?
I also want to know this I only have a phone and old computer with windows 7
Keep getting error messages when downloading on book bolt and uploading on kdp. Can't make a pdf. Hope you can help. Luv your vid. Ty
I did it! Thank you so much for your tutorial video. This is a fantastic starting point. You are a blessing to all of us.
Why does book bolt need card details for a free trial?
Once the trial is over, Book Bolt is a paid membership if you continue using it.
Standard thing for free trials. They automatically start charging you after the free trial period expires unless you actively cancel first.
I know God led me here.🙌🏿💙🙏🏿
It does sound like a lot of work to put into this, plus she's going so fast over what you need to do, I'm a older women just looking for something for extra income, she's going over everything to fast for me. I'll try to find something else. thank you

This video was amazing, thank you for taking the time to go step by step and for simplifying the process.
Thank you!!! I'm going to do this now 😊
did you try it?
Please tell me where you found how much money these other people made. Where can you see that?
Book Bolt RESEARCH / CLOUD shows you what books are selling and how much authors are making with their books.
Did anyone follow through and get results?

I have a question
how long does a person have to vacate a property after they have lost it at in auction sale
does the new owners tell them to leave or do you have to evict them property is in South Florida
I want to get the premium package is there a prom code for that?
try with the same code
some steps you missed and i had to figure out as i went through...
any help with how to figure out errors from KDP would be appreciated. Can't figure out why. Thanks
Thank you, you have given me the opportunity to do what I’ve been wanting to do.
Thanks for the content I really appreciate this 🙏🏾
this doesnt work, I have friends that did and didn't make any money
Thank you
I just love all of your informative videos and I will be trying and blessings to you and your family Queen!
Im going to give this a try
Mrs. Hinton,please make a video for opportunities as a remote medical assistant 😊. Thanks!😊❤

ok i fixed that issue but now its telling me to update account information but when i click update it gives me a error like that pages doesnt exist

You'll be able to search for that info in BookBolt
It honestly varies. If you look in the cloud it will show you the different prices but I’ve been seeing anywhere from $6-$8 on average.
