Hey Paul, a long time subscriber here, been watching your videos since June last year. I just want to say I am eternally grateful for you and your channel, because you are the sole reason I started my kdp journey and up until now I've made over $4000 and changed my life for the better. Granted, I also got help from another channels but yours is the first one I discovered and for that, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Congratulations! Thank you for letting me know. It makes my day when I hear success stories like yours. Well done for putting in the work and continuing with it. Best of luck for even more future successes.
Thank Mr.Marles for all your lessons on KDP. I started my KDP journey in April 2021 and I made my first FOUR sales last week. Many thanks your a great teacher keep it up.
Love this niche. I created my first "Swear Word Coloring Book for Adults" and that alone brings in an average of $300 monthly! Other motivational coloring books I've created are doing quite nicely also! Great video, Cap. Thanks!
Hi Paul. 👋Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience. I appreciate that you're not trying to sell your knowledge so that people like me can start somewhere to earn a passive income. Thank you! 😃
Creating quote pages was THE function I was looking for ! Many thanks for all the great advice. Very happy to support you by purchasing bookbolt and other stuff through your affiliate links ! Thanks Paul !
Very informative video! Thank you. I just want to warn people that sometimes the sellers on Fiverr will sell you designs they’ve bought from other platforms so please be careful and communicate with the seller letting them know that you want a custom design and nothing that they’ve sold to anyone else. Hope that helps someone!
Yes, I had someone steal my TShirt design I’d gotten help with and upload it to multiple sites….be careful who you choose and communicate with them about this beforehand
Hi Paul, great videos. They are definitely helpful for a new person such as myself. The reason I got interested in making money online is because I have an incurable lung disease. Trying to set up something that my wife can continue after I am gone. Then our now seven year old son can take over later. :)
Bonjour merci pour vos vidéos toujours intéressant et facile à suivre même pour une frenchie Hello thanks for your videos always interesting and easy to follow even for a frenchy
Thank you for sharing another helpful video with us. It is on a topic that I was hoping for 😊 I have a question about mentioning copyright and the author's pen name on the book itself. When creating low content or no content books, do we have to include an author name or a statement in the book such as "Copyright YourPenName All Rights Reserved"? If it was a high content book, then the author's name would be included, as well as some kind of statement in the book about copyright. But I'm not sure if this is the case with low content or no content books. I've seen some tutorials that include this part, but I've also seen many tutorials that don't include it. I'm not really sure which is best to do.
@@paulmarles Thank you for letting me know. I got a little confused because I thought there would be a good reason for including that message, but maybe not.
Thanks for the great content - I purchased the templates. Quick question - if I'm designing a KDP coloring book in 8.5 x 11 format, and some of the pages will need bleed and other pages will not need bleed, does this mean that in my graphic design software I create pages with no bleed at 8.5 x 11 inches and then the pages with bleed are created with 8.625 x 11.25 inches? In other words, the final PDF for the interior that I upload to Amazon will have pages that alternate between 8.5 x 11 inches and 8.625 x 11.25 inches based on non bleed or bleed? THANKS
Great info as always, I have a question. For the person who has yet to publish their first book on Amazon would you recommend creating 1 or 2 books for multiple niches or for example make your first 10 books in the same niche/sub niche? What would your advice be for a beginner? Thanks
I have not yet started, still researching if this is viable, but how do you go from a sales price of $6.99/book to a profit of $1.90? How are you calculating expenses? Love your videos. Please keep turning out new content. Could you do one that explains actually how to publish a book ON Amazon?
Hi Paul I made a bucket list journal but I just found out that bucket list is registered trademark in US and UK. What should I do now. I made this book from your given keywords from your shop
hi Captain 👋 i've created a coloring book for children which contains characters that i've drawn myself, i would like to know if i can use those characters again in another coloring book with quotes for teenagers ??? and thank you in advance ... i appreciate your content 💖❤💖❤
Paul , I'm thanking you for your endeavor to teach us this thing. I've just signed up to amazon KDP from Africa twas a gorilla getting an LLC etc . I ask you though, what is the primary motivation for a buyer of low content books of any given niche? Just the cover? Since if essentially the content is copy and paste across the board besides you can't look inside a book with Amazon these days. Also im not equating low with no content but there's little added value from one low content book to the other. I hope you're done moving to the new place and settled down. Keep going!!
I have a business question. I've been looking and can't find the answer on my own. I have a personal kdp account and want to if I can make a business account. Its an LLC so do I just integrate that into my account or can I make a new one without being flagged?
You can have two accounts on KDP; one personal one business connected back to you. But it is not advisable that you use it with same computer and internet connection, and also ask CS before starting just to be safe.
@@MarinaArtDesign That's not really correct. You can see for yourself if you go to the Amazon page at: business.amazon.com and see the article about "Managing multiple Amazon accounts" and the Benefits of account switching. The page describes how to easily set up account switching on Amazon between (for example) your personal account and one or more Amazon business accounts. So amazon itself not only reccommends it as a good solution for people who have a personal account and have a business(s) but they show you how to do it. It makes sense, since why would they discourage people who already have a personal account to "NOT" open a business account and just leave all that money on-the-table, so to speak? They know that it is not wise to mix personal and business accounts in banking, etc., and they would realize that goes for a sales platform also.
LLC. But that’s based on my financial situation. Yours will be different. Take professional advice as it may not be the best option for your situation.
Hi Paul! I watched your videos which are great and I want to thank you for that. So, I managed to start publishing some notebooks on kdp. I understand that I don't have to start the ppc campaign, only after about 3 months from the publication. But in these 3 months I will not sell any notebook? Thank you.
@@paulmarles I feel like I've seen a tattoo.. it just seemed brighter . Maybe it's my ADD kicking in .. lol anyhow glad things look bright & sunny where you are:)
Love the new background of your video. Regarding the quotes, they are considered the person's intellectual property and are protected by copyright by default. Unless the person the quote comes from has died 70 years prior, it is not advisable to use the quotes without written permission of the famous person that uttered it. It is better not to use them just to be on the safe side.
A lot of quotes are just "general", like "Love", "Love yourself" "Take the next step" - nobody own those sentences. It's different with quotes from filmes etc.
@@bluebellbell3725 You are correct. General quotes with no author is public domain. My comment was geared towards quotes where the author is a famous person, i.e quotes from Steve Jobs or Oprah, etc. If the person who uttered the quote has been dead for over 70 years, that is also public domain.
@@mariaetheridge8343 Well, not really, because if you make money out of it, so you use it for commercial purposes, just naming the author of the quote is not enough. You would need to contact the author or the entity who owns the copyright for the author to be given permission and it is possible to charge you money if you intend to use it for commercial purposes, otherwise they can find out and sue you. It's risky and I don't think it's worth it. Better stay on the safe side :)
Very nice videos. I’m in France & having issues with extended markets matter. Other than Amazon, for others it says royalty is only permissible for UK store & none else, saying royalty is “not offered in this marketplace.” Can u plz guide.
This is so fun! Thanks for sharing! Question: Why can we not see any interior pages on Amazon? If customers can only see the cover, will they still buy if they don’t know for sure what they’re getting?
Hi Paul, do you have an interior - similar to the lined paper one - that is actually blank? I would like a 100 page blank interior for a sketchbook sized 8.5 x 8.5 inches. I am willing to purchase the template. Or in lieu of that, perhaps a tutorial on that?
you will have 3 paper options when selecting paper...Black and White interior with cream paper/ black and white interior with white paper/ Premium color interior with white paper.
Great video, I have one problem. I do not know how to make letters white. When I paste photo, letters are covered by the photo. Could you help me?. Thanks
Quick question..would you put coloring books under the fiction or non fiction, juvenile fiction or non fiction, category on kdp? I have a coloring book that is hand drawn bugs and woodland garden theme. I have it in fiction right now, I am wondering if i may have it in the wrong category. :)
Great video as always! could make a video about advertising coloring books? I've been trying to get sales and I've got none plus the price per click is basically my profit margin, thank you for providing tons of great info always!
How does an Amz customer receive the physical copy of the coloring book?...as a POD physical book or does the customer print the coloring book from their Kindle device?
I have 4 coloring books and 2 journals on Amazon. In 5 months I’ve had ONE unsolicited sale. I check my categories and keywords regularly. Also Amazon coloring books are really crappy quality and they print on both sides of the page so I started putting blank pages between. How do i get more (any) sales?
Sir , not able to sell anything, tried ads , used helium 10 , found niche , still struggling, I published around 15 log books but still no sale even after spending 25 dollars on ads , what to do
Work on improving your books if they are not making sales. You haven’t really provided any information about your ads. Is it $25 for ads on one book or on all 15 books?
That’s a very small amount for 25 books. You won’t get any meaningful data. Start with advertising on just one book. Learn, improve and then add other books.
Hey captain, i worked really hard on an activity book interior and i published my first book on that niche, now i'm wondering if i can publish many books with this same interior or not ?
@@paulmarles I know you cant give tax advice, but what kind of tax reductions came off your figures when you was in England.. (obviously these fees would change at a later date) but just as an example for what someone could expect after taxes if they had made money selling books on the date you was in England
I need your help. i created a kdp note book and its live on amazon, but it is showing only first page of cover on live page can you please tell me how can i make it showing first second and third page on live page of amazon. thanks

No, you don't need to put the authors name on the book. As the creator you have automatic copyright. As far as I'm aware.
@@paulmarles Thank you for letting me know. I got a little confused because I thought there would be a good reason for including that message, but maybe not.
Very nice. I have Cava Pro, how about their fonts and pictures may I use it freely? (since I pay for it)

Ques for you: Should we consider the keywords in which the 3 book ranks are below 3,00,000 but are sponsored?
That’s a tricky one. It still indicates there are potential sales but I would probably leave it. I’d stick to the organic rankings.
Hey I'm new in Amazon kdp i need some help 🥰 thank you for helping us
You're welcome.
After taxes or before taxes 🤔
The figures are royalties before taxes.
@@paulmarles I know you cant give tax advice, but what kind of tax reductions came off your figures when you was in England.. (obviously these fees would change at a later date) but just as an example for what someone could expect after taxes if they had made money selling books on the date you was in England

I have my first 30 page of my coloring book in the works. Can you make a video on how to advertise my coloring book?
I have a playlist on Amazon Ads.
How is it you're able to see the ranking numbers? When I scroll these same pages, it's not listed anywhere.
I have a chrome plugin installed - DS Amazon Quick View
