The reason for 108 pages is because the printing cost remains at $2.15 (in 2021) from a 25 page to 110 page b&w book. 108 is the optimal number of pages because it is evenly divisible by 4 thus preventing any extra blank pages at the end.
Thanks for the explanation!
@@MyFreedomEmpire For some reason,I always get stuck at the upload a cover part of the process idk why?
@@darensamuel4490 What error is it giving you?
@@MyFreedomEmpire Typing to seek help with my book doesn't really solve anything,I need to speak to and have a person see what my issue is on my laptop.
I’m an illustrator and mural painter and I released my first coloring book on Amazon this week using your tutorial and I’m releasing a ton of low content books soon using my artwork for covers. Your advice has been amazing thank you! I had no idea you could publish like this on Amazon I originally started looking on RUclips to release my children’s book. Now I’m working on building a whole brand built on my illustrations due to your videos ! Thanks !!
Oh wow that is so awesome to hear! I'm so happy I've been able to help you do that. I'm jealous that I'm not an illustrator as I just created a children's book myself 😀 Good luck with your KDP journey, I really wish you the best!
How it's going ? :)
I'm curious to hear feedback too after 7 months! How has it been going for you ?
Fabulous....I'm binge-watching ALL your videos!
Thank you ma. I am grateful I came across you while I was looking for help about Amazon KDP.
You're welcome!
Love this! I put put 6 logbooks and notebooks. Thank you!!
Thank you for this! You really make it easy to understand and even show how to make the cover. I was struggling to figure that part out lol
Thank you Thank you for this tutorial. I am so glad I ran across your video, I followed step by step and created my first book.
Thank you so much for the video! I have watched a lot of videos regarding publishing low content books and your video is the best! I am looking forward to trying book bolt out.
Thank you so much!! 😀
I very rarely comment on anything online but I must say that out of all the tutorials I have watched, (there have been many) ..
yours is by far the most informative and helpful.
Thank you.
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful 😃
I want to thank you for this video because I learned a few other things I didn’t know. You have motivated me to keep going.
Thanks so much, I'm glad I have been helpful! 😀
Thank you for the tutorial! Yours is the BEST by far-- so thorough. ☺ I appreciate your work into this for us. I am in process of my first book-- and using my own art work for the cover. Got my fingers crossed for the future!
Thank so much! Good luck with getting your first book published!
Fantastic content! This was the most descriptive and to the point I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you!
I just followed your tutorial, and I definitely thought I'd have a learning curve, but I did not. You are a fantastic teacher, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that.
Thank you so much for making this tuturial. Youre so inspiring. through you I was a able to succesfully launch my new kdp book and absolutuely love my new buisness.
HI. Your explanation regarding the page count is the reason I subscribed to your channel. I've listened to the tutorials on BookBolt as well as many other BookBolt tutorials. No one else that I've come across actually broke it down like you do. I really appreciate that. I am a step-by-step teacher so I'm a step-by-step learner. I need all the details. LOL. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! So happy I was helpful.
Literally just watched your video today, and just published my first book. Thank you for your step to step tutorial!
You're welcome! Congrats on your first book!
This is the best tutorial I'v ever found about BB. Thank you so much)
Thank you!! 😀
Thanks for this tutorial, you make it easier ❤
I just uploaded my first book! Thank you for the step by step guide. Excellent video!
Congrats!!
Thank you so much. Such valuable information for beginners like me.
Excellent video! This has everything I need to start. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for creating this video. It was paced well and easy to follow along.
You're welcome!
Learnt lots; Thank you.
Thank you Caroline!...i just managed to publish my first notebook after following steps in your video...great tutorial!! Wish you more success!
You're welcome! And congrats, good luck with your KDP journey!
Excellent teaching. Thank you!
You really explained well, I was a bit lost but you’ve given clarity and shed light to my confusion. I’m impressed by your video simplicity packed with immense knowledge
Have u started using book bolt?
Can I pls know how much u paid?
Wow, wow, wow!!!! Thank you so much or making this video. You really broke it down to the TEA!!!!! I'm about to get started right now!!!
Thank you!
I'm a graphic designer and already created a series of bestseller adult colouring books in the past. Never created low content books before but since I've got Book Bolt it is something I'll be doing regularly. I'm also purchasing Tangent Templates which is also a good program for a one off payment. You can't have enough templates which save so much time.
Thanks this was a very quick and no fluff video to get you producing a book.I really appreciated this video for working through Book Bolt.
Thanks so much! I agree, Tangent Templates is also good, I do use that too. That's so interesting - do you still sell those colouring books??
As a graphic designer why are you faffing around with these consumer level apps, and why stock templates? There is so much generic and look-a-like dross in self publishing surely original quality will stand out.
I am giving this a big thumbs up thank you so much for helping me in this process. God bless!
From Africa I send my appreciation for the detailed approach you used in this wonderful video...I literally uploaded my first video few hours ago just by following the instructions you gave..Thanks so much ☺️
Wow thank you! And congrats!
Just published my first book thanks to this in depth tutorial!! THANK YOU
How much did u pay for book bolt?
This was an easy YT video to follow. Now it seems a lot easier then previously thought for me.
Thank you! 😀
Awesome. Awesome awesome, I’ve watch like 5 you tube videos about publishing low content book and you’re the one that really explain it so clearly and I finally published 1 book today. Thank you so much! Good luck to me 😂🙂
Thank you so much!
Excellent tutorial! Cheers from Canada.
"Alright, my fourth full length novel! Can't wait to see how this sells!"
*A few months later*
"Ok, how do I make money selling low content books..."
Exactly. I worked on my 6 books for 15 years, and now I am reduced to lined notebooks.....
Thank you for your useful information
Great job!
your video is so so so super, thank you🤩
THANK YOU! I just published my 1st one and used your vid every step of the way!
Wow! Congrats! 😄
Lina Have you made any sales yet? Just curious if there is too much competition doing this now, or if it's still feasible to make money?
First time seeing your video. Very inspiring and helpful. Great video 😊
Thank you!
I've gone through two other videos and still was having issues. Your video was so much more thorough than the others. I know you have more detailed videos on this, but you already taken away all the questions and made this understandable and doable. Thank you.
That's so great to hear, I'm so glad my video help you out a bit! 😀
Hi , how do you download the cover im not seeing a option to…
As a fellow Aussie, I have learned so much from your channel. I know have 22 books on Amazon with 3 of those still in review... Now just hoping and waiting for a first sale... Thank you so much for the wonderful and inspiring information you provide and always looking forward to your latest videos...
Thanks so much! I really wish you well with your KDP journey. Just keep going with it and find what works for you 😀
Hows it going?
Will you post an update?
That's great so how's it going.
@@josephkojidi3103 Thanks for asking... After completing a total of 46 books online, I had 2 sales over last Christmas, nothing before or after... So I sadly have abandoned the idea... and have since started another endeavor that's taking off slowly but steadily...
A little of topic but I just got to say your skin looks amazing in this video. Like a real person, if you get what I mean.
Great video. I have come back to this tutorial months later now that am actually making my first book. So, thanks for getting me started down this round.
Thanks so much!
Wow, you're truly amazing and much appreciated! I tired to do this on my own and it was frustrating! It made this process so much easier. Thank you so much. #newlysubscriber
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you have found my videos helpful 😀
Oh my god you area godsend I couldn’t get anyone to help me figure this out, everyone was so a matter a fact and saying i was absurd , but I didn’t know how to get this done thank you so much you have taken a burden off my mind.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad I was able to help you out! 😀
Thank you for this video. It was very useful for me as a beginners guide.I really appreciate it.🤩 Can you direct me to the next video to follow the process of low content children's story books with illustrations and Colouring Books. Thanks 😊
You're welcome! I have a video on publishing children's story books which you can view here ruclips.net/video/AzjfiUezJ5o/видео.html
Then in relation to coloring books I would check out this video which goes through looking at a successful brand and what it takes to do well with coloring books ruclips.net/video/DBns0EeB4f4/видео.html
And then some videos on actually creating coloring books

Hope that helps 😀
Thank you so much...
Bit of a bug in bookbolt, have to reselect 6x9 in the download interior, otherwise it downloads 5x8. You can see in the file name it downloads if the wrong size is used. @14:10 you can see the moment you select plain lined notebook it switches to 5x8. So good practice to pick the interior first, then select the size after. Hope that helps. Appreciate the walk through on bookbolt especially the designer and pricing
Thanks for the feedback! I did notice the naming of the file being 5x8 but when I uploaded it, the dimensions were correct so not sure if its more of a file name error.
Seriously. Thank you! You really have great content and are so professional. I love watching and learning from you. Question. Is there a way to print on the inside cover? I have searched it, but can’t find any information. Thank you for your help and all that you do!
Thanks so much! Unfortunately no, we can't print on inside cover.
I’m trying to figure out how to make unique pages. I haven’t seen a video as good as yours so far but I still need help with creating unique pages.
Have you done a updated video using the new design studio in book bolt. Great video.
I am much appreciated seen your video and I got lots of things that facing confusion. So I would like say many many thanks for your times for peoples who struggling their life in this pandemic. So May Lord Krishna blesses you forever and keeps you always safe. Stay safe at all the times and keep it up this inspiration work for others. Once again thanks for your kindly help for others.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your very detailed video as it is very helpful to myself and others who are just getting started!! I noticed in the below comments that you wrote a Children's Book and I have as well. Would you say the process of uploading Children's Books on BB is about the same and do you have a video on how to do so? Thank you in advance!!
Thanks for information
You're welcome 😀
Hi. Great Video. Volume was low of your recording, even though my laptop volume is on full. Thanks.
Thank you so much
You're welcome! 😀
Can you do a video on SEO and how to refresh or reposition a book to increase sales?
excellent thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks, Caroline for this tutorial. Would you recommend adding a copyright page on a low or no content book?
You're welcome! 😀 Probably not for things like notebooks or journals that just have lined pages. Sometimes I'll add it on more unique books but it's not really necessary and I always include it on things like colouring or activity books.
I love the lemon pattern at 16:42 ! Does anyone have the link to them ?? I've found tons of lemon patterns, but not this exact one.
Thank you for this it’s really helpful! Question, how do you do research to make sure that you’re not into competitive of a niche and you can actually stand out?
You're welcome! A lot of research is done on Amazon, literally just searching through different categories, looking for different niches then exploring each of those niches to look at the amount of search volume, the amount of competitors, the sales volume of the niche etc.
Amazing can you show us how to make an upload and make an ebook
Good day wow am impressed where can I find the link please for the book bolt
I feel like kissing or hugging you cause this video has been so helpful. Thank you so much for making this for beginners like me! X
You're so welcome!
Hi thank you for these videos I’m learning so much! Although I feel like I’m following your instructions meticulously but I seem to keep getting errors in the print previewer and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.. I have put in the exact dimensions in Canva but it’s not working ☹️
Hello! What error message are you getting?
Thanks so much for getting back to me, I didn’t see your messages. I had a problem with the lines going outside of the margins.
108 pages is called the sweet spot because a book whit that number of pages has only a fixed cost for printing. If your book is more than 108 pages there is a fixed cost and additional costs per page as printing costs.
Thank you for that clarification 😀
Hi, do you know how I can create an effect on Bookbolt cause when I click an effect it doesn't do anything on the cover?
This was such a helpful video! When you previewed your book, it looked like it had a wire binding. Is this an option along the way?
Thank you! You can't do spiral bound book through Amazon KDP but you can do them through Lulu - I have a video on how to create these kinds of books if you're interested in them.
Thanks so much for the videos. So helpful. Are all the images we can use for covers in book bolt designer free to use, no copyright issues?
You're welcome! Yes you are able to use the images within Book Bolt.
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question about the content pages - is it possible to mix and match different designs (templates)? and if so, how? thanks
You're welcome! You could but it might be a little time intensive. What you could do is download 1 page of template you want to use. Then collate them in Powerpoint or something in whatever order you want them in. Hope that makes sense.
Nice
Please what can you put in the place of your 16 digit card number when registering on book bolt if you are using a verve card which has 18 digits card number ?
is bok bolt studio the same as book bolt designer, because i don't had designer on mine
Can you give some tips on how to increase sales during Q4 please.
Target niches that are typical gift buying niches and run Amazon ads if you have a budget.
I noticed it says on the right side... Not offered in this marketplace. But you said it will be offered in those marketplaces. Can you explain? I was surprised when I got to this point before uploading to amazon. I just need to understand.
How do you upload a 5o page pdf interior to bookbolt that is over 10mb?
Hello! Thanks for this great video. Quick question, do I need to be an Amazon prime member to use kdp Amazon?
You're welcome! No, you don't.
I was not able to embed the text into my cover - any advice on that please?
Can you edit the interior designer template
If you use your own artwork or photographs for the cover, do you retain ownership of the images?
Thanks for such a detailed instructional.
Yes, you do!
Is the royalty calculation wrong in this video? Based on the sale price and royalty price quoted the book designer is receiving 33% rather than 60%. What is the actual royalty amount on a low content book (coloring book in particular)?
Hi! Thanks for ypu videos. Ive found a really good niche. How many books can I upload using the same keywords and niche?
Hi, you're welcome! It's up to you really how many you want to upload. I don't really suggest uploading a lot, if you feel that the customers would want a couple of different options in terms of design then you can upload a few different ones or if you are not sure which cover would sell better you can upload a few to test, etc.
After watching several of your videos, I decided to niche down like you suggested. I'm interested in creating mental health journals. What's your thoughts on it?
I've never looked into this niche but if the numbers work for you in terms of being happy with the amount of competition/demand and you enjoy making these types of books then go for it!
If i having a KDP store in amazon , should i sell books on a specific niche ? I mean there are niches like coloring books, jurnals, math puzzles etc.. so if i choose the coloring book niche, should i stick with only for coloring niche ? And am i able to sale math-puzzle book too ? Is it good for seo of my KDP store ? Thank you
Thanks for replying, when i click on one of the shapes, it was suppose to open the shape with a black background, but it is not showing a black background so i can add put my text on the black ground, i tried so many times still no success, could this be because i'm still using a trail version? pls kindly reply me
How do you get the images?
The Book-bolt can download it on play store
Can u do a tutorial on how to do this on an Android phone please
Wow! You the best, thank you, am outside the USA can this work for me?
Thank you! Yes, doesn't matter what country you're in.
What apps can I used to make a coloring book? The way the adult coloring books look like? Also, how do I know if a word or “saying” is trademarked? 1 more question…do I need to trademark my “company”/author name? Thank you for any feedback you give! Love your videos!
To make a colouring book you need to get together a collection of colouring pages (purchase them from somewhere, make them yourself or hire someone to make the pages). You put them together into one document to create the coloring book. You can do this in whatever program you know how to use like Canva, Microsoft Word or Powerpoint or even in Adobe Indesign or Publisher. For trademarked words or phrases, get the USTPO for trademarks and then in terms of trademarking your brand - this would just depend on how serious you are about building your brand marketing and if you want to be sure you don't want anyone to copy it. Thank you!
I made the interior but when I downloaded it to my files it downloaded only one page. What did I do wrong?
Your videos are great and have helped me greatly. However, How do i adjust a graphic to fit in the given space on the book bolt cover feature.?? When i adjust from the corners the opposite end expands. I just want adjust the pic to fit.
Thank you! The corners you should be able to pull in to make the image smaller too - is that not happening?
Thanks for your quick reply. I received a reply this morning from Book Bolt support. The trick is to hold down the shift key while aadjusting size from the bottom right arrows. I didn't know that. BTW what I like most of all about your videos is the clarity, not rushed, speech. and easy to follow. From a fellow Australian. Much appreciated. Regards
@@normancastelli3546 glad you got it sorted! And thanks so much 😊
Very well explained but the thing I worry about is competing on price. Amazon stops me from setting a price lower than they want which on 100 pages seems to be $5.17 yet most of the competition are priced $3.99 to 4.99. So if I set it at $5.99 surely the customers will opt for the cheaper versions?
Thank you 😀 I don't believe customers always by the cheapest option, I think they buy the option that suits what they want exactly. In saying that, perhaps that particular niche isn't the best one to go into if you can't set your prices high enough to make the royalty you want.
Please help me with my book bolt I can't create anything I can't see where it's written designer why
I installed book bolt but I have been trying to register it's not going through it justs keeps loading.
Hi, does kdp offer spiral spine on journals (paperback & hardcovers)? if so, where is that option found? Thanks
Hello! No they don't do spiral bound. Lulu is a good option if you want to do spiral bound books. I have a video on that if you're interested ruclips.net/video/E8HYg8BIi_I/видео.html
Where to write the author name on journal?
Does kdp allow photographs for covers? I take a lot of pictures of things, bike paths bridges, etc. Does that make the price go up? Is it to large of a file?
Yes you can use photos if you want to. No, the images you use don't make a difference to the pricing. 😀
Hello From Bangladesh ❤.
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺
Great video! What do you choose for low content books ? When it comes to PUBLISHING RIGHTS - do you choose "I own the copyright and I hold necessary publishing rights" or "This is a public domain work" I appreciate your expertise in this. Thanks
Thank you! You select that you own the rights. Public Domain is for when you publish a book that is in the public domain - which is a book already written by someone else famous a long time ago and they have now passed away and they copyright period on their book has passed.
@@MyFreedomEmpire thank you so much! Have a lovely day!
And Btw, Congratulations on your Book Award 🥇 Caroline!
