🔥🔥🔥Craig this video needs to be at the top of search for anything regarding KDP!! This is such an eye opening refresher compared to the "make money with KDP" misleading content that so many people are sharing! Thank you so much for taking the time to compose these videos!! The information you share is always honest, ethical, and much needed! Thank you for going against the grain and sharing information that no one really wants to share. I'm saving this one to watch again and again! You have truly changed and reshaped my idea of what a KDP business should be!!
The greater the automated income you can build, the freer you will become. Taking the first step is the hardest, but 5 houses later living off automated income since July 6, 2016. You’ve got to start taking steps to achieve your goal.
Definitely some food for thought while I’m getting started with kdp. I’m glad there’s RUclipsrs out there like you that will explain the real ins and outs of this or any other business. Thanks for the quality content and keep up the good work!
This video was really helpful to me as a beginner, and I really enjoyed the way you explained the process that works for KDP, which other RUclips gurus don’t highlight.I must confess that after going through your videos, I’m inspired to create images myself without using images from creative fabrica ,shutterstock, etc. because I wanted to be original and creative like you, and it will save me from copyright infringement in the long run. You have shown me a new path to being creative like an artist, and I wish to be like you. Thanks so much again, and I’m looking forward to your Amazon advertising tutorials for beginners videos if you will create them!
I'm glad that you found the video useful Ebiere. And yes, I will have a video showing how to create an Amazon ad campaign coming up very soon. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video Craig. Based on this video I come to a very fair conclusion that Amazon should change the search result by removing the ranking of any books. By ranking books; that will show the high-ranking books on the first page, other books that are low in ranking will be left out in the cold collecting dust - it is really UNFAIR for other authors or other books WHEN only those high-ranking books will get the sales. What's wrong with the other books? well, there's nothing wrong with the other books, but there is very wrong for Amazon to display only the high ranking books. The customer should be able to experience buying other books not the books suggested by amazon search result. The should just have a system that randomly displays books based on categories or sub-categories - not displaying results picked based on the algorithms of the bok. The algorithm-based to displays books used by Amazon should be replaced by a random display of books so that i will fair for other writers or for other books. It sucks that only one book will get sales after sales mainly because of Amazon - TOTALLY UNFAIR.
At the end of the day Amazon is in the business of selling books, and which ever book is in most demand will be the one that they prioritize in search. If they prioritized randomly and customers were forced to cycle through hundreds of lower quality books that they didn't want, then people would stop using the platform and start buying from brick and mortar stores again. I agree that there are a lot of great books that get lost in the shuffle, but with so much competition, comes a lot of low quality crap as well. It wasn't always like this. Before self publishing was a thing, all books got a fair shot at promotion. And that's because publishing houses only took on the authors that were creating quality books, which weeded out the bad stuff before it even got to book stores. For that reason there are always going to be pros and cons to self publishing. All you can do is create the best books you can, and then do everything in your power to drive traffic to them. Unfortunately that's the game and those are the rules.
Great video. I have been doing the self publishing thing for 2 years now , and it brings some new perspectives and something to think about . Keep up the good work!
😅i have watched 1000s of videos on RUclips, but this is by far the best. I held on tight to my phone to make sure i did not miss any detials. Every second was informative and the content was well organized. ❤😊 I just want to say a very big thank you for making this video. You got yourself a loyal subscriber🎉
Priceless. I make sure I rewatch it a few more times to grasp all the valuable information you are giving us there. Also, I will follow you in your "learn YT" channels. Thanks a lot.
You're simply the best. I nearly wept after watching this video. Your transparency and honesty knocked me off balance. Meanwhile, let me get to work. 🚴🚴🚴
You donan absolutely great job. You are quite thorough. But it seems to be so much to learn and do. I am very good with Book Bolt and have published over 100 Journals and Coloring books. But I cant seem to get this puzzle book thing
Have you watched any of my puzzle book videos? They're really not that hard to create, they're just time consuming.

I watched from beginning to end.. thank you so much for this. I'm very interested in passive income and I wanted to go into Amazon kdp strictly to make money. I'm still trying to figure out what I can do though. I'm sure I'd discover it soon enough.. Thank you Craig.
You're welcome Daisy. I have plenty of other videos on the topic in my "Self Publishing 101" playlist, that might give you some ideas of where to go next. Watch it here: rb.gy/oqlc0
When I start creating my children's story books, I will be using Method 3 in this video pretty much exclusively. It's not about what's in the book, it's about getting the book in front of people. After I've published my first book, I will start creating videos about that marketing process as well.
I'm trying to figure out my passion and purpose with this business I'm creating, but it's not the main business I want to do, life coaching is but I want to use my Amazon Biz to help me leverage my lifecoaching one. I've always and ever had a passion for these two biz, this is giving me some ideas. It's slowly coming together. I like Etsy, KDP and Amazon and Ebay too, I want to use this Biz in all 4 marketplaces, a youtube channel is a great idea but I need to figure out how I would use that channel,
Most successful businesses have multiple income streams. As you're finding out, the hard part is trying to figure out how to make them all work together. Whatever income streams you do decide to create, try to make them all valuable to the same target audience. Best of luck.
Hi Craig - You hit the nail on the head right at the start where you say " they are not telling the whole story". I've been in the KDP spaces since around 2017 and still have not made my future 😞. Invested God know how much in various courses and they all leave one piece of the puzzle out. Recently discovered your channel and looking forward to for once, I hope, discovering the whole story. It's clear Reviews are key but how to get them is the real question? KDP, I know has strict rules on this I know so how to get them I wonder?
I can't promise you anything Geoff, I can only show you what I'm doing and how it's working out. And hopefully you'll be able to find a way to use my experiences to better your life as well. Best of luck to you.
@@geoffatavoncliffe221 It depends on the type of book you're creating. If you're creating something like a coloring book for kids (or for adults), there are plenty of RUclips channels devoted to coloring, so you could always contact a few of those channels and ask them if you could send them a free copy of your book to get some feedback. That could lead to them using your book in one of their videos. If their viewers then go on to buy your book, that type of customer is far more likely to leave a review. Most books that are getting 1000's of reviews are coming from repeat authors. So in other words, their first book was successful and was well received, and got a few reviews. Then when their subsequent books come out, those same customers purchase them as well and their brand begins to develop a following. And once you have a loyal following, reviews are pretty much guaranteed on every future book.
Craig first off big fan of yours I've spent hours and hours watching your videos. I have started my KDP journey now, but I have a question what program is there to research Neches on amazon?
I personally use Book Bolt to do my research, and I discuss how to use it in this video here: ruclips.net/video/eF-Q77UQFL8/видео.html But I'm probably not the best person to give you that advice, because my end goal with KDP is to create children's picture story books (not so much low or medium content books), so I don't really care about popular niches. I'm just going to create books that contain the stories that I want to tell. Just because Unicorns may be hot this month, doesn't mean that I'm going to go out and write/illustrate a story book about Unicorns. But if I want to research a particular topic to see if it's selling on Amazon, or whether or not there's a market for it, I do that in Book Bolt.
@@DarkmasqueradeshortsSorry, no there isn't. To be honest, I haven't come across any software that just gives you the most popular niches for any particular book category. With most of the programs that I've seen, you have to search a particular niche to see if it's doing well within that books category (if that makes sense). Which makes it difficult, especially if you don't know what niches to search for. lol They need to create a software program that allows you to say "Show me the top 10 books, of each of the top 10 niches in children's word search books". ChatGPT can give you some ideas, but not real time data.
I don’t think it matters if your book is in the first page on amazon because people always like to look through several pages before purchasing because they want to see if there is something better that they like. I personally always scroll down and continue to the second and even third page to see if I find the cheapest best item that I’m looking for. I NEVER purchase the first item I see.
Actually Amazon have done studies that show that up to 70% of customers purchase a product from the first page of search and never actually go past that first page.
Hi Craig. Another very useful video. I just started KDP at the end of January and I'm up to 10 books in a particular puzzle niche, and up to 64 sales. Most of these are via ads, but many of them are organic. My concern here though is out of all these sales, I don't have a single review on any book, positive or negative. Do you have any insight into why this may be, and if there is any effective way I can get my customers to leave a review? I already have a welcome page at the beginning of my books requesting a review, but so far, goose eggs. Thanks.
It's a law of averages. Most books get 1 review per every 100 sales. That should give you some insight into just how many books have been sold by all of those listings that have 1000's of reviews. That's why I recommend the 3rd method using the second option in this video for best results. Building a loyal fan base around what you do, is the best way to get reviews.
Excellent information and so clearly explained, thanks Craig. And yes, a RUclips on advertising would be great. I trust your content over everything else I hear! Cheers.
I think you are very genuinr and down to earth. Semi related question.. I've seen videos on people making passive income via YT shorts.. what's your opinion on that? If you've done so, can you make a video on that? Lol
I'll possibly do a video on shorts sometime in the future, but I myself have stopped creating them. 80% of my audience resides in the age group between 35 - 65 years old. 80% of the people who watch shorts are under the age of 25. Advertisers don't want to spend money promoting to younger audiences because they don't have the disposable income that the older generations do. So when I was uploading short videos, my RPM's (the $$$ amount I'm paid per 1000 views) dropped quite a bit. After I deleted them, my RPM's rose back up significantly. Just having that younger audience from my short videos, mixed in with the older crowd from my long form content, was enough to alter my viewer demographics to the point where advertisers weren't interested in buying ads on my channel. So depending on your target audience, shorts can be useful, but they're not good for my channel. Hopefully that makes sense Kat.
@@CraigBabin I'm glad it's on it's way. I can't wait seriously. I've spent lots of money on ads but not working. I'm subscribing to your channel right away as well and turning on my notification. I can't wait to watch your true ad campaign that works. Thank you Criag.
Craig, I have a question about two of my books that are live right now. They each have completely different content and different covers from one another, but they have the same title and similar subtitles, with the difference of each being that one book has one puzzle per page and the other has two puzzles per page, and one has 150 puzzles and one has 200. That difference is reflected in the subtitle of each book, so they are not exact duplicates. Would that be a problem for the terms of service of KDP? I don't want to get my account terminated, and I'm afraid if I ask KDP for clarification they may terminate my account. What do you think?
As long as the books' contents are different (different puzzles), and the books' covers are different in appearance, you should be fine. Many puzzle books have similar titles. There are only so many names you can give to a Word Search Puzzle book.
@@CraigBabin Thank you for your reply. I've been watching so many videos from people about KDP terminating their accounts without any warning, I guess I'm a little bit anxious as a result and have been going over my catalog to see if there may be any issues with any of my titles. Somebody should create an app that monitors your catalog 24/7 for "potential troublesome content" that may catch the ire of KDP so you can proactively do something about it before you get the dreaded termination email. Just a thought. Thanks again.
@@mellowmoods8393 If you dig a little deeper, most of those people are having their accounts terminated for very clear violations. Most of them just don't want to admit it. Keep your content unique and you'll be fine.
It's less that KDP is unstable and more about people just not reading KDP's terms of use. If you don't violate their guidelines, they're not hard to work with. And there are plenty of people making really good money with KDP, so it's definitely not a waste of time.
Thanks!
No problem!
Thanks David, I really appreciate the support!

I've been watching so many videos from people about KDP terminating their accounts without any warning, I guess I'm a little bit anxious as a result and have been going over my catalog to see if there may be any issues with any of my titles. Somebody should create an app that monitors your catalog 24/7 for "potential troublesome content" that may catch the ire of KDP so you can proactively do something about it before you get the dreaded termination email. Just a thought. Thanks again.
@@CraigBabin Or a Sudoku book! ;)
@@mellowmoods8393 If you dig a little deeper, most of those people are having their accounts terminated for very clear violations. Most of them just don't want to admit it. Keep your content unique and you'll be fine.
@@CraigBabin That's very reassuring. Thanks.
21:00 😂😂😂😂
You obviously have kids. lol
the worst is now since AI got into picture the market is flooded with AI generated shit
I hear ya.
KDP is very unstable. Amazon will close your account anytime they want, and without any reason for you. Don't waste your time with KDP.
It's less that KDP is unstable and more about people just not reading KDP's terms of use. If you don't violate their guidelines, they're not hard to work with. And there are plenty of people making really good money with KDP, so it's definitely not a waste of time.
hello
Hello.
If you say organically one more time I'm gonna lose it...
Unfortunately, that's how Amazon refers to sales made without the help of advertising. Would you prefer I say "Non-AAA" (Amazon Ad Assisted)?
The word Natural has been shunned these days for the annoying word Organic.
Not your fault. Carry on...
@@anthonycosentino463 I will. 😄
Thank you.
You're welcome.
