As a complete beginner all I can say is THANK YOU!!! You are the only person giving all this content and not trying to charge thousands for it. Thank you so much!
Greg, you’re a genius! I don’t care if you’re doing this for a living or not-you have no idea how much you’re helping change people’s lives financially. Thank you so much!
I just had to stop this video just to say thank you so much for this. This is honestly the 1st time ever that I've watched AND enjoyed a full tutorial step by step WITHOUT any ulterior motive for sales OR just receiving half the info and still being clueless. Thanx for being genuine. Well done man 👌
Thank you! I appreciate that, and it’s comments like this that keep me coming back to make these videos. If you run into any questions as you starting putting this into action just let me know!

finished my first book, very excited. been searching for years and most of RUclips is the same garbage recycled this is the best step by step i have ever come across. deepest thanks
You know what? You have helped to push people into the digital world, the new age of making online sales. I am 62 retired and have been racking my brain on how to start something online and didn’t have the knowledge on how to do it. Congratulations, on helping us to move forward with a step by step guide. I will listen to this many more times to figure this out. Might email you, thanks! 😊

You've actually put me to work as the errand boy as she's not stopping until she gets it right!😊
Found this channel and this video on Dec 15th, did the work and sold our first word search book on Jan 10th! We uploaded 3/day systematically following your advice and tips. We’re here for the long game so while $3.46 in profits over our first month isn’t much, we can see how if we add 3 of these every day for a year, the sales will make this whole process worth it. Thank you for all the transparency, clear instructions and details! We aspire to be as great at this type of teaching on YT on our own channel. 🎉
That is awesome! My hats off to you for following through. It’s those with your mindset that end up being amazing success stories. Keep me posted if you run into any questions as you keep building the business! Also a long term tip, once the business starts generating several thousand per month, look into Empire Flippers to sell the account. They typically sell for 25x-40x month net profit! Pretty awesome end goal to have!
@@GregGottfried Quick question: now that DeepSeek is gaining traction, do you think you might create a 'Word Search Book Lists' guide specifically for it? We've sold 4 books in our first 30 days (yay!), so we're diving all in on this project. DeepSeek seems promising, especially since it might save us from constantly reminding the tool about details like 'words need to be between 3 and 20 characters' or 'no repeating words'-issues I keep running into with ChatGPT, particularly in broader niches. I've started adding sub-niches to refine things, but I wonder if DeepSeek’s stronger reasoning skills will make it a better fit for projects like this. Have you tried it yet? Curious about your thoughts! (BTW I had ChatGPT help me with this comment. Oh the irony!)
I have watched this video over and over and over again - it is invaluable in understanding how to do all of this. Thank you for all of your videos. You are great with all of the small details and your ability to walk through every single step. I just published my first three word search books for KDP and I couldn't have done it without you. I am very grateful. I recently watched a video on the idea of creating special niche log books. I am 60 years old and grasping all of this technology is not coming easy to me. I would love to see a video on creating your own templates for bookbolt because I do not see one for logbooks! Thanks again for evrything you do! You are a class act
I gotta admit. I watched a lot of videos on this. I just happen to stumble on yours. I absolutely LOVE it. You added so much more info that I didn't even know about. I know a 100% with this video I will be selling on KDP with in the next few days. Im super stoked to start. I thank you so much.
You deserve a standing ovation mate. I have been searching for options how to write a book, and how to publish it digitally. This is THE BEST TUTORIAL I've seen as yet. Complete Step-By-Step guide with actual screen recording that makes things so easy and convenient. Great stuff. Keep up the good work!
Explaining well is already a virtue, but when paying attention to feedback and proactively offers solutions at no cost, they elevate their role as a communicator to an entirely new level.
I came across your video about five days ago while looking to learn more about passive income, and I must say, it's the best I've ever seen. The details you provided are outstanding. I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for sharing such valuable information to help people like me. I followed your tutorial, and I'm thrilled to share that I've just published my first book today! Thank you so much, and may God continue to bless you abundantly
Almost bypassed this video as I'm a subscriber but not new to KDP. Until a couple of days ago had not uploaded anything new for the year and still getting paid every month. That's the beauty of POD. Thank you for this very thorough explanation of the process for those starting out and the bonus of the custom GPT.
Right on! Exactly the reason I love these passive businesses too. Thanks for the comment, and glad you are able to put the GPT to use too! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
I watched the whole tutorial without skipping a single part. This is a selfless service not many people offer for free. More power to you Greg! May God give you good health and prosperity ❤ ~ Your old subscriber and admirer
This is the first time I’ve watched and genuinely enjoyed a complete step-by-step tutorial without feeling like it was trying to sell something or leaving out essential details that left me stuck. I appreciate you keeping it real and giving me access to your work lists and more of your work. Fantastic work. You have me following you forever!
Greg, thank you so much for showing a beginner like me the step by step know how and tips on creating a puzzle book. Your instructions were so easy to follow. I published my first puzzle book today on KDP. So many channels just give vague and general information on how to make money on KDP but do not tell you how to do it. So glad I happened upon your channel. God bless you for sharing your knowledge.
I rarely watch a video all the way through - and even though I've already uploaded several books to KDP - I watched this ENTIRE thing. So good Greg! I feel way more confident now. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! I always try to pack as much valuable things into these videos so I really appreciate hearing this, thank you. As always, if you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Hi Greg! Thank you so much for providing these simple steps to start a digital business! Your transparency and honest value has helped me stay on course. I’ll be honest there are so many RUclips tutorials on KDP out there and it can be overwhelming. I veered off to a couple popular RUclipsrs a few months ago! I couldn’t decide what to do. I watched ten RUclipsrs and I decided to try your method! Your videos provide so much value. Great quality content without constantly selling online courses and products. Thank you thank you !!
That's awesome to hear that these videos are helpful, especially with so much other content out there. I agree it gets super overwhelming when trying to learn a new business model from multiple people. If you run into any questions just let me know!
Hi Greg, I want to thank you for the awesome tips on making word search puzzle books. I recently lost my job and wasn't sure what to do next when I stumbled upon your RUclips channel. Thanks to your guidance, I've already created two books that are currently being published on Amazon. I wasn't aware of the applications you mentioned that could help speed up the process, but I'm grateful to have discovered them. I believe that by creating these books, I can manage to pay my bills, pay off my car, and live a more stable life. Thanks a lot, buddy. I really appreciate it! Best regards, Trevor
Nicely done! Absolutely. I hope those first two books start selling quickly. The name of the game is going to be making as many of them as you can. If you run into any questions when making the next ones just let me know!
I just want to thank you so much😇 this has got to be the best tutorial here on RUclips, it didnt take too long for me to create and publish 2 books, just waiting on review now 🙌I think I have found my new stress relief 😂 now Im going to work on my 3rd book 😁😁
Thank you SO much, Greg, for the best step-by-step tutorial i have found on RUclips!! With about 227 pauses as i follow along with my limited knowledge, i successfully published my first book on Amazon KDP! Your explanations are great for beginners like me and i hope your altruism is greatly rewarded! Thank you x a million!!
I cant thank you enough for this! Really interested in all aspects of self publishing and am grateful for this magic formula as a place to start. Super excited🙏❤
I just had my three recent ones approved today 🎉 they said it takes some time before it’s fully on Amazon but they are all approved ❤ Hopefully sales start coming in but I will keep making more 😅
First of all I wanted to say thank you. Honestly I learned so much today. I was looking for some way to earn some extra money, being a single dad and all with two kids to support after a divorce and I fell upon your tutorial. I spent my entire day today to create my first word search puzzle book and just published it. Now waiting for the 72 hours to see how it goes. Thank you for sharing for free, for having taken the time to show us step by step how to go about it. Great job, excellent work. Easy to follow along. I hope that this can be a means to an end, but also that it might open a new door for me. I will keep you posted. Thank you.

Thank you so very much. You are the best. I'm so excited and thankful watching your tutorial. You're the only one who really gives a detailed tutorial for free. More power!
@@GregGottfriedI followed your instructions and published a puzzle book. I received an email from KDP with some instructions on how to fix an issue. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take? I would be happy to forward the email to you, or send you any details you are comfortable with. I do not know how to contact you.
Wow. This video is worth a million bucks. Can’t wait to get in front of my laptop to prove it! Thanks for taking the time and creating valuable content!!
Greg, I cannot tell you this video has just lifted me up to greater heights in my creativity with the assistance of AI. This in-depth tutorial is a masterpiece and kudos to you for showing us how to do this and very detailed fashion, but more importantly that you are giving these tools to us free of charge, so many other content creators want to charge a fee. Thank you so much for giving back to your community.
Thank you so very much, I followed it kept pausing and going back and doing it as you did it and it worked. I have created one word search book and will do more the link to what you created for us to get the words is great, thank you for sharing it all. I am 69 and managed to do it because of the way you explained and showed it all. You would be a great teacher.
Long-time subscriber, and your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for all you do for us and for "paying it forward." Can't wait to sign up for Book Bolt and get started. Mahalo, Greg!
Hi Greg, I watched your tutorial just yesterday and already have 2 books in review for publishing. I may not get rich but to ever receive my first $2.47 would feel amazing and would also be a testament to your detailed guidelines in getting started. I have always loved graphic design and I'm already thinking outside the box to new ideas and creativity. Thanks so much! New subscriber here! 👍
I just published my first word search book and am waiting for approval. I'm so excited! Thank you, Greg. Your kindness in teaching and sharing has truly inspired me. You're the best!
@@storiestomotivate1678 Yes! It was published on the third day of submission! Thanks for asking. I was intimidated by this being my first publishing experience, but Im ready to move forward now. Wish you the best in your endeavor.
@@storiestomotivate1678 To my surprise, Yes, it was published within 3 days. Hopefully, whatever they require to publish your book will be simple. Just keep moving forward! Be encouraged. 😊
I discovered your channel about three days ago! Since then, I have watched quite a number of your videos. Some of the best advice I ever got on RUclips tutorials is to "find and stick to one trainer or Guru." You are that one trainer/guru for all things KDP and AI for me now. Thank you so much! This was awesome.
I appreciate the kind words. It's awesome to hear you're enjoying the content, I hope you find the information helpful as you build your KDP business. I’m here daily to help answer any questions in the comments so just let me know if you run into any issues!
Just published my cat book! Even with the trouble I ran into I think I managed to get a complete book published in about 2-3 hours. This is great. Thank you for everything! I could never have done this had I not watched your video. I am a subscriber and will watch every video you create.
I'm so happy that I found you! I started a book with your tutorial today I finish it today as well, took me a bit though since sitting down and trying to learn how to work things in the computer its hard! And for me to stay still for a long time its literally imposible. But here I am! You were so clear, on point and so engaging that it did not give my ADHD a moment to reset my brain!! 😂😂😂 wow ! That's an acompleshment at its finest!!!! I sing up scare of the whole process... more so the whole process on KDP and personal info, always hold me back, but all its well and I'm so ready to change my life for the best and really doing something out of my confort zone! I'm glad that I found you and for sure got a new sub with me! Keep up the amazing work. Many blessings to all who want to take risks, get out of the comfort zone, and do the work! Feels great! And even I have to wait the 72 hours and even after that, not sell anything yet... I'm still going to continue and learn. I'm just so happy that I DID THAT! A BOOK!!!? YESSSSS! LOL THE LITTLE THINGS 🤣 😂
That is so awesome to hear! I totally understand with ADHD, but this process becomes so fun once you get it down. It’s cool because you can go from idea to having the book published and under an hour once you get it going, and then it feels like you’ve accomplished something for the day, and ‘scratched the itch’ for that book idea! Once you start getting several books uploaded, I think you’re going to run into some niches that just start selling themselves very quickly. Excited for you to see that happen! As always, I’m here if you run into any questions or need any help!
I just came across your videos on the bus home from work. You make it clearer for me to understand. I've watched other videos, finding them too fast. I'm going to give it a go. Thank you!
Greg, you are AMAZING! I loved your last video on this but this new video with your GPT tool is just so amazing and generous! I'm going to try this tonight! I'll let you know my results :)
Thank you 🙌 As always, I appreciate the comment and support! Glad you’re going to put the GPT to use, it’s a huge time saver.. Let me know how it goes and if you need any help!
Well I went through the whole training. And thank you very much. Now is the process to start the project and I will let you know if my 70 years brain could to grasp all your knowledge. Thanks so much
To make up for me jacking up the personal discount code/affiliate commission for you and just really appreciating the value you bring to me personally. It's not much, but it's what I can do for now. Hopefully I'll be able to share more with you in the future! 👍 I hope to have this book done in 2 days,... by 12.26.2024. Thanks again. I signed up for the PRO and took $110 off the first year's subscription, + got an extra 3 FREE Months for the first year. 🎉🇺🇸🙌🤯
Wow I really appreciate that! I hope you hit that deadline and have the business officially up and running! As you go into the first book just remember that the first one takes the longest, and then once you’ve got the cover template and the hang of creating the puzzles, it gets a lot faster. I appreciate your support too 🙏 I’m here just about everyday to answer questions so if you get stuck somewhere just give me a holler!
@GregGottfried I'm still working on my book. I'm 2/3 finished with your video and have the cover and all the puzzles finished and errors removed, but yesterday was busy, and today I'm working and flying out tonight, so... I'm going to try and complete this book this coming weekend... hopefully! Pray for me! 🙏 🤲
Awesome video!! ❤ 🎉 Thank you so much! The free step by step! The coupon code! And free chatGPT word builder! So grateful! Your awesome!! Happy New Year!!
Thank you for this informative video. I always wanted to try to create and sell on KDP, but it seemed too complicated. Watching you do it looked fun and possibly something I could do. Happy to report that I just uploaded my first word search on Amazon! Your thoughtful instruction and custom GPT made all the difference! I will start my next book asap! BTW, I'm an older woman, not exactly computer savvy so if I can do this anyone can! ❤
That’s so awesome to hear… thank you for taking the time to write this! It really is something that turns into a fun hobby (admittedly feels a bit addicting at times when things start taking off “let me just make one real quick in this niche” lol). Anyways, if you run into any questions at all just let me know!
@@SelimAlafe Hi! I am a retired piano teacher so my niche is working with children, so I did a word search for young children. I have written some early reader children's "stories" for my young granddaughters and now I am wondering if I would be able to turn them into little books using book bolt. My issue would be illustrations...hmmm....this tutorial by Greg has got me thinking happy thoughts! Have a blessed day!❤
Wow, Greg! You never cease to amaze!! Thank you for making such great instruction videos without being boring, or trying to sell us courses for thousands of dollars!! I ma ready to take on the world of KDP!!!!
Greg, Thank You - I just recently retired and was looking for a way to generate some passive income and watching this video pushed me to finally take the step to move forward. Knowing the step by step process that you so eloquently showed in this video is really priceless. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. I have no doubt you will be bless in many ways by the fact you blessed others in such a way 🙏
This is by far the best tutorial I have seen on RUclips. Greg does an excellent job walking you through the process, and showing you how to get started in this market. THANKS for the Book Bolt discount code!
Sir I am very poor how to join your Amazon team I have been watching for a long time but how much investment required to start this everytbing make ready but I don't have the right guidance to achieve that goal
I just wanted to say thank you . I had to watch the video a couple of time to get my first puzzle book done. I am a complete beginner so it took me a minute to get everything sorted out . I am now starting on book # 2 .

Hmm.. They want you to update your title and subtitle and then resubmit it. Easy fix though. Just go back and change your title, I’d remove some things to simplify it and then resubmit it 👍
Great question! The daily upload limit is 500 per day I believe. So as long as you aren’t uploading hundreds everyday I don’t think you’ll have to worry about limits.
Thank you so so much for creating this detailed tutorial! I have been wanting to try KDP or something similar but with overwhelming ideas but no idea where to start is so discouraging. But with this video, I finally have the stepping stone and hopefully go a long way from here. Blessings to you! ❣

Thank you so much Greg for this great opportunity you've created for many. I have started publishing my own books on Amazon KDP just by watching this video. You have really done well for us and we really appreciate all the hard work you put into this one video alone. God bless you mate🙏🔥

Thank you for this very thorough explanation of the process for those starting out and the bonus of the custom GPT.
Right on! Exactly the reason I love these passive businesses too. Thanks for the comment, and glad you are able to put the GPT to use too! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
I watched the whole tutorial without skipping a single part. This is a selfless service not many people offer for free. More power to you Greg! May God give you good health and prosperity ❤
~ Your old subscriber and admirer
This is the first time I’ve watched and genuinely enjoyed a complete step-by-step tutorial without feeling like it was trying to sell something or leaving out essential details that left me stuck. I appreciate you keeping it real and giving me access to your work lists and more of your work. Fantastic work. You have me following you forever!
I'm so glad! Thank you, and if you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thanks!
@@kjburk Thank you 🙏 🙏 I appreciate that! As always, if you run into any questions just let me know!
Greg, thank you so much for showing a beginner like me the step by step know how and tips on creating a puzzle book. Your instructions were so easy to follow. I published my first puzzle book today on KDP. So many channels just give vague and general information on how to make money on KDP but do not tell you how to do it. So glad I happened upon your channel. God bless you for sharing your knowledge.
I rarely watch a video all the way through - and even though I've already uploaded several books to KDP - I watched this ENTIRE thing. So good Greg! I feel way more confident now. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! I always try to pack as much valuable things into these videos so I really appreciate hearing this, thank you. As always, if you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thank you so much for your kindness in doing this. You made this easy to understand and navigate. ❤
Thank you 🙏
the word list generator is everything. THANK YOU.
Glad you found it helpful 🙏 I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Hi Greg! Thank you so much for providing these simple steps to start a digital business! Your transparency and honest value has helped me stay on course. I’ll be honest there are so many RUclips tutorials on KDP out there and it can be overwhelming. I veered off to a couple popular RUclipsrs a few months ago! I couldn’t decide what to do. I watched ten RUclipsrs and I decided to try your method! Your videos provide so much value. Great quality content without constantly selling online courses and products. Thank you thank you !!
That's awesome to hear that these videos are helpful, especially with so much other content out there. I agree it gets super overwhelming when trying to learn a new business model from multiple people. If you run into any questions just let me know!
Hi Greg,
I want to thank you for the awesome tips on making word search puzzle books. I recently lost my job and wasn't sure what to do next when I stumbled upon your RUclips channel. Thanks to your guidance, I've already created two books that are currently being published on Amazon.
I wasn't aware of the applications you mentioned that could help speed up the process, but I'm grateful to have discovered them. I believe that by creating these books, I can manage to pay my bills, pay off my car, and live a more stable life.
Thanks a lot, buddy. I really appreciate it!
Best regards, Trevor
Nicely done! Absolutely. I hope those first two books start selling quickly. The name of the game is going to be making as many of them as you can. If you run into any questions when making the next ones just let me know!
Hello, have you managed to earn anything during this time?
I just want to thank you so much😇 this has got to be the best tutorial here on RUclips, it didnt take too long for me to create and publish 2 books, just waiting on review now 🙌I think I have found my new stress relief 😂 now Im going to work on my 3rd book 😁😁
That’s awesome 🙌 For real though it gets addicting making these 😂 nice work though!
Thank you SO much, Greg, for the best step-by-step tutorial i have found on RUclips!! With about 227 pauses as i follow along with my limited knowledge, i successfully published my first book on Amazon KDP! Your explanations are great for beginners like me and i hope your altruism is greatly rewarded! Thank you x a million!!
That is awesome! Congrats on the first book, and if you run into any questions on the next ones just give me a shout!
I cant thank you enough for this! Really interested in all aspects of self publishing and am grateful for this magic formula as a place to start. Super excited🙏❤
You’re very welcome! Glad it’s helpful, and if you run into any questions just let me know!
Hi, Greg. I'm so glad I found your page. I followed every step and my book was submitted and approved so I can't wait to start earning
Nice work!! Welcome to the world of KDP!
Pls update us on how's it going
@@Littlemissmaths I will in two weeks to see if my other three gets approved and if I make any sales x
I just had my three recent ones approved today 🎉 they said it takes some time before it’s fully on Amazon but they are all approved ❤
Hopefully sales start coming in but I will keep making more 😅
Update!🎉
First of all I wanted to say thank you. Honestly I learned so much today. I was looking for some way to earn some extra money, being a single dad and all with two kids to support after a divorce and I fell upon your tutorial. I spent my entire day today to create my first word search puzzle book and just published it. Now waiting for the 72 hours to see how it goes. Thank you for sharing for free, for having taken the time to show us step by step how to go about it. Great job, excellent work. Easy to follow along. I hope that this can be a means to an end, but also that it might open a new door for me. I will keep you posted. Thank you.
@@anthonyc.porcaro9619 nicely done! My hats off to you for following through on this. Onward and upwards from here. If you run into any questions just let me know!
@@GregGottfried thank you so much. Waiting for Amazon to provide an answer, so fare no news.
The way that you've set this up is amazing! He's the real thing. If you follow his directions exactly...you'll publish in hours!! I did!
Awesome to hear! Nice work! Hope your sales start coming in quickly 👍👍
Thank you so very much. You are the best. I'm so excited and thankful watching your tutorial. You're the only one who really gives a detailed tutorial for free. More power!
@@vilmapark8031 I appreciate that, thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
I've watched this video so many times, and it never gets boring! I'm hoping to create my first paper book soon, thanks to your inspiration!
That’s awesome! If you run into any questions while getting started just let me know!
@@GregGottfriedI followed your instructions and published a puzzle book. I received an email from KDP with some instructions on how to fix an issue. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take? I would be happy to forward the email to you, or send you any details you are comfortable with. I do not know how to contact you.
Wow. This video is worth a million bucks. Can’t wait to get in front of my laptop to prove it! Thanks for taking the time and creating valuable content!!
Published my first one today. Thanks Greg for your instruction!!
Nicely done!!
let me know if you get money
Greg, I cannot tell you this video has just lifted me up to greater heights in my creativity with the assistance of AI. This in-depth tutorial is a masterpiece and kudos to you for showing us how to do this and very detailed fashion, but more importantly that you are giving these tools to us free of charge, so many other content creators want to charge a fee. Thank you so much for giving back to your community.
Thank you so very much, I followed it kept pausing and going back and doing it as you did it and it worked. I have created one word search book and will do more the link to what you created for us to get the words is great, thank you for sharing it all. I am 69 and managed to do it because of the way you explained and showed it all. You would be a great teacher.
That’s great to hear! Nice work, and if you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Long-time subscriber, and your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for all you do for us and for "paying it forward." Can't wait to sign up for Book Bolt and get started. Mahalo, Greg!
I appreciate that! Thanks for sticking around and letting me know. Good luck as you get rolling and if you run into any questions just let me know!
Thanks
Thank you! 🙌
No Greg, Thank you mate! It's probably only 50c in US currency 🤣 but I just wanted to show some appreciation of all your hard work! Cheers 🤓👍
@ 😂 it’s the principle that I really respect, so thank you. I’m here if you run into any questions as you’re going forward!
I really appreciate this and you for doing this . I’ve been looking for a full walkthru just like this ❤
You’re very welcome! Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
You are a natural educator... Thanks for the awesome tutorial Greg!
I appreciate that! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Hi Greg, I watched your tutorial just yesterday and already have 2 books in review for publishing. I may not get rich but to ever receive my first $2.47 would feel amazing and would also be a testament to your detailed guidelines in getting started. I have always loved graphic design and I'm already thinking outside the box to new ideas and creativity. Thanks so much! New subscriber here! 👍
Did you get your first sale?
@ Not one sale yet. Working on my 5th book.
@@RayBachGuitar wordsearch books or other?
@ word search books
@@RayBachGuitar I hope you find success one day, I have also published 8 coloring books this week, no sales yet
Excellent video! You're the best so far! Your honesty and ethics really set you apart from everyone else! Thank you very much!
I really appreciate that! Thank you 🙏
I just published my first word search book and am waiting for approval. I'm so excited! Thank you, Greg. Your kindness in teaching and sharing has truly inspired me. You're the best!
That's great!! Keep up the hard work! 🙏
Did the book got published please reply...
@@storiestomotivate1678 Yes! It was published on the third day of submission! Thanks for asking. I was intimidated by this being my first publishing experience, but Im ready to move forward now. Wish you the best in your endeavor.
Did your book get published? Cz mine got rejected.
@@storiestomotivate1678 To my surprise, Yes, it was published within 3 days. Hopefully, whatever they require to publish your book will be simple. Just keep moving forward! Be encouraged. 😊
I discovered your channel about three days ago! Since then, I have watched quite a number of your videos. Some of the best advice I ever got on RUclips tutorials is to "find and stick to one trainer or Guru." You are that one trainer/guru for all things KDP and AI for me now. Thank you so much! This was awesome.
I appreciate the kind words. It's awesome to hear you're enjoying the content, I hope you find the information helpful as you build your KDP business. I’m here daily to help answer any questions in the comments so just let me know if you run into any issues!
Hello, i am having trouble with the formatting of words on the puzzles. Some words are sitting on top of each other. Any ideas?
This was so comprehensive and can be applied right away. Very well done!
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Just published my cat book! Even with the trouble I ran into I think I managed to get a complete book published in about 2-3 hours. This is great. Thank you for everything! I could never have done this had I not watched your video. I am a subscriber and will watch every video you create.
Hey Greg,
Great, great tutorial. I don't think I've ever come across a RUclipsr that did such a easy to follow, thorough job. My sincere thanks.
Thank you! I really appreciate it. If you run into any questions just let me know 👍👍
I'm so happy that I found you! I started a book with your tutorial today I finish it today as well, took me a bit though since sitting down and trying to learn how to work things in the computer its hard! And for me to stay still for a long time its literally imposible. But here I am! You were so clear, on point and so engaging that it did not give my ADHD a moment to reset my brain!! 😂😂😂 wow ! That's an acompleshment at its finest!!!! I sing up scare of the whole process... more so the whole process on KDP and personal info, always hold me back, but all its well and I'm so ready to change my life for the best and really doing something out of my confort zone! I'm glad that I found you and for sure got a new sub with me! Keep up the amazing work. Many blessings to all who want to take risks, get out of the comfort zone, and do the work! Feels great! And even I have to wait the 72 hours and even after that, not sell anything yet... I'm still going to continue and learn. I'm just so happy that I DID THAT! A BOOK!!!? YESSSSS! LOL THE LITTLE THINGS 🤣 😂
That is so awesome to hear! I totally understand with ADHD, but this process becomes so fun once you get it down. It’s cool because you can go from idea to having the book published and under an hour once you get it going, and then it feels like you’ve accomplished something for the day, and ‘scratched the itch’ for that book idea! Once you start getting several books uploaded, I think you’re going to run into some niches that just start selling themselves very quickly. Excited for you to see that happen! As always, I’m here if you run into any questions or need any help!
Hi Greg, we just uploaded our first word search book!!! Cross fingers and thanks a lot for all your clear information. :)
Nice work! If you run into any questions on your next ones just let me know 👍

To make up for me jacking up the personal discount code/affiliate commission for you and just really appreciating the value you bring to me personally. It's not much, but it's what I can do for now. Hopefully I'll be able to share more with you in the future! 👍
I hope to have this book done in 2 days,... by 12.26.2024.
Thanks again.
I signed up for the PRO and took $110 off the first year's subscription, + got an extra 3 FREE Months for the first year. 🎉🇺🇸🙌🤯
Wow I really appreciate that! I hope you hit that deadline and have the business officially up and running! As you go into the first book just remember that the first one takes the longest, and then once you’ve got the cover template and the hang of creating the puzzles, it gets a lot faster. I appreciate your support too 🙏 I’m here just about everyday to answer questions so if you get stuck somewhere just give me a holler!
@GregGottfried I'm still working on my book. I'm 2/3 finished with your video and have the cover and all the puzzles finished and errors removed, but yesterday was busy, and today I'm working and flying out tonight, so... I'm going to try and complete this book this coming weekend... hopefully!
Pray for me! 🙏 🤲
@ Nice work! Great progress so far 👍👍

Thank you for this informative video. I always wanted to try to create and sell on KDP, but it seemed too complicated. Watching you do it looked fun and possibly something I could do. Happy to report that I just uploaded my first word search on Amazon! Your thoughtful instruction and custom GPT made all the difference! I will start my next book asap! BTW, I'm an older woman, not exactly computer savvy so if I can do this anyone can! ❤
That’s so awesome to hear… thank you for taking the time to write this! It really is something that turns into a fun hobby (admittedly feels a bit addicting at times when things start taking off “let me just make one real quick in this niche” lol). Anyways, if you run into any questions at all just let me know!
@@SelimAlafe Hi! I am a retired piano teacher so my niche is working with children, so I did a word search for young children. I have written some early reader children's "stories" for my young granddaughters and now I am wondering if I would be able to turn them into little books using book bolt. My issue would be illustrations...hmmm....this tutorial by Greg has got me thinking happy thoughts! Have a blessed day!❤
Clean, honest and useful! Great video. No salesy stuff to upsell or any under the table tactics. Excited to get started !

You are so kind, May you receive unlimited blessings. 🎉
Thank you, I appreciate that! 🙏
How many of these can we published daily? I wouldn't want to get banned
Great question! The daily upload limit is 500 per day I believe. So as long as you aren’t uploading hundreds everyday I don’t think you’ll have to worry about limits.
I am in the process of creating my first word search! Thank you for all of your videos and taking the time to create tools to help us.
You are awesome! You teach things people charge big money for and they still dont go in dept like you do.
