Dear Paul. I love watching your videos. They are incredibly informative and helpful. And I want to thank you for giving people a hope and tools for their financial independence. God bless you.
You are such a good teacher! I've been binging all these videos and it's basically an education, right here on RUclips. Thank you so much for everything you share.
@@paulmarles thankyou for replying, i created notebook by watching your videos in Amazon kdp but no sales can give suggestion to make sales, useful information from you keep going 🎉
Hello Mr. Marles, For a book created with a 120-page PDF file, should I write the description part for Amazon as 60 pages? (Since the pages will be double-sided when the book is printed, should I write half of the PDF page count for the description section page count?)
Oh this is a brilliant walkthrough. While watching, I went into AI and followed along. It's always the prompts that I struggle with, so yours were so very helpful. In a few minutes I managed to create a new logo, replacing my old one. The old one wasn't bad.... but I was able to create a new one in the same flavour I wanted, just much nicer! Thank you!
@@MrR952 Absolutely. Not going to break any records, but I’m seeing slight growth month over month. I did use ad’s though, after a few months of very little sales. I’m still trying to refine the ad’s though because when I break it down it’s costing me $8 loss per book. But has it increased organic sales, that’s the question. My feeling is that it has because my overall book sales have increased. However, still no profit due to the ad spend.
Hi Paul , firstly I would like to send you thanks for your consistently fantastic videos 🎉🎉🎉you have been my KDP guru this last 2 months 🙏💛 I watched this video and created logo for my brand and a banner too , couldn't have done this without your guidance ! BUT.....😢 I can't seem to put my logo on the backcover in Canva 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️. When I go I to my projects, chose my logo, it overlays the entire book cover and when I reduce its size the book cover and Bookow template below have disappeared 😮. I'm sure it's a simple process but I would love it I you could tell me how to add my logo created in Canva to my book cover pleeeeeeeeease ❤❤❤
hi paul, you are the best teacher, thanks for uploading such valuable information for us, please tell me in which format should i download this KDP logo? Love from Pakistan
Thank You so much Paul - this was really helpful and very much needed Information. Clearly and well put together. Your time and effort to make these videos is enormously appreciated 🫵🙌🙌
G'morning Paul - I've written a novel and wish to have a professional front cover done but I don't know where to start to find an artist....I learned all the reasons why to have a cover made so well from you and your videos but now it's crunch time to actually have it done and I don't know where to look. Any tips for me on this? Thanks heaps
I could have a go at this for you. No payment unless you use it. It’s not something I make a living doing, but have created my own book covers that IMO are pretty good.
@@goilo888 I appreciate the thought and I might've needed you for my last book but alas this time I've got to go all out on a pro - Paul explained the many reasons why in a video some while back, I wish I could link that video or even find it...again thanks.
@@swiftwind26 No worries. I probably watched that video myself anyway. Photography (I used to be a professional), graphics, advertising, and just creating in general, I have been around for 40 of my 60+ years…
I'm wondering if a person is allowed to put a journal on kdp and have the same journal on a print on demand site, such as shopify . Or is that not allowed.
Hi Paul, I am new to KDP and recently started watching your videos. I have created few books but there is not even a single sale. How to make book famous, I dont have much followers on my social media. So, how can I get more people to buy my book?
Please, I would like to ask you: I started the profession of publishing books last year, and after 8 months of work, I got my first sale, and the sales remained few, but in the month of May of this year, my account was closed temporarily due to a misleading book that I published last year, and after 24 hours they returned the account to me, but One sale came, then the sales stopped permanently to this day. So do I have to make an A+content for the books that were sold, or do sales decrease at this time of the year?
It is most definitely NOT impossible to copyright images. Once you create the book cover, or interior images, the book/images are copyrighted. That’s a simplistic description but is different to “stealing” images as direct output on an AI Art generating site.
@@goilo888 the issue isn't stealing, the issue is the copyright office have repeatedly said ai creations are not eligible for copyright my comment didn't even mention stealing lol
@@thanesbusiness5001 Yeah, I put it in quotes because if someone “takes” an image directly from someone else’s image creation efforts on an AI site then that is not copyrighted work. Many would call that “stealing” but in this case it has been deemed not. HOWEVER, once you produce a tangible work with an AI image or images it then becomes copyrighted. For example, creating a coloring book using AI images - that book is now copyrighted.

Paul, you have one of the best laid out, well-written, produced and EASY TO UNDERSTAND channels. Always great stuff! Straight to the point and no BS.
Thank you, that's very much appreciated.
You were super helpful! Thank you !

Hi Paul using mid journey images in kdp books cover,i think paid subscription is required for commercial use purpose
MidJourney no longer has a free trial. It’s something they want to bring back but no idea when.
Yes, you do need a paid subscription for commercial use. And, as @goilo888 says, there is no longer a free version.

Can I use Chat GPT-generated description for KDP?
use it , idid
I used it too. For both the description inside the books and on the KDP product page.
@@goilo888 Did you make any sales yet?

Yes, you can.

Hi Paul, I'd like to know what's your opinion about a new tool - Counting Worksheet Generator - I'm sure you have heard about it :)
No, I've not heard of it.
Amazon but the registration of the ISBN code too?
Love it. Thank you
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Sir thanks for the support ,pls is Amazon kdp still paying Nigerians through wise account.
thanks

A colouring book needs to be black and white line diagram not with huge areas as a black.
thank you😍😍😍

Sales are lower around the months of May to end of July and then start to pick up. Amazon A+ content can help.
Can we work together?
I create books, you sell for me with your marketing strategy, i can give money for ads
You take 70%
Kdp is tough 😭😭😭😭
How do you get reviews for your low content books?
They come about naturally from making sales.
i think paul doesnt work on kdp anymore
And why do you think that?
why are you recommending people create things with AI considering it's impossible to copyright anything created with AI?
