Your oration is spot on, the scripting, videography and edit are proof that you are a professional and know how to reach your target audience on YT and your content proves you know how to reach your target audience on KDP.... pretty amazing work Mr. Paul, bravo sir bravo. Thanks for the vids I do enjoy watching you make some tedious work seem effortless!
This is helpful. I wrote a children's book - and used my full name as the author. I basically created a new KDP author page as my name doesn't add up with the rest of my books. Now I can create a new author page for my children's books - and have is be separate from my journals/coloring books. Thanks, Paul.
your videos provide real value, no fluff , you get straight to the point , clearly explained , shown well thought through and done hence so many subs now , brilliant. I do hope you create more videos as you gone quiet recently , hope you are well Paul:-)
Hi Paul! I have just created my first children's story book - published it and waiting for amazon to approve it! :) Thanks for all your info and videos, really really helpful :)
This is wonderful video, full of very useful tricks & techniques! Converting something to SVG is something I had wanted to do for some time. Also, the ChatGPT & Midjourney prompts are great!
Hello Mr. Paul. I have some coloring books published under my own name and I would like to create an author page on Amazon with a brand name. Do I then publish the next books under the brand name and leave the previously published ones under my name? Greetings.
This is a great video. Do you recommend this as the first step before publishing my first book? I have been watching a bunch of your videos to create books but haven't published one yet.
Hello, I really appreciate your help and time. I can find the command box to create the image. I always in up on the community page ? Where do I go to find command box to ask questions to create for my books.
Hello paul marles.. You have been a great help, I appreciate you. Please is possible to add paperback (notebook or journals) up to 10 categories?? Much 💕
Hey, Paul! Thanks for the video - very helpful as always. I got inspired and made a cool logo. Can you tell me how I can add an additional Author Page to my KDP account? Is this even possible? (I already have a previously created Author Page, but now I want to publish books under a different name)
You can create another one in your Amazon author central account. Here's a good video from Dale Roberts on RUclips on how to do it: ruclips.net/video/ejpTVHohyWw/видео.html
There is no fixed time. It depends on many factors like competition of the niche, how many sales you're getting, ad spend etc. It it's not losing money or is breaking even I would peronally run a campaign until my book appears on the first page. Then I would stop it or reduce the bid amount and see what happens to the organic ranking.
Amazing Paul, thank you so much! You inspire me to get more done with less fear. Quick question, I already have 3 pen names for my 'proper' books, am I allowed a brand page for my low/med content stuff?
Thank you Paul, i want to know if i can possibly print some activity books outside of KDP, and be able to sell them? lets say in my local community, if yes is it possible that you might help with how to go about it? Thanks again for your help. Kind regards.
Great video Paul! Question- can you put Copyright on your coloring book with images from Midjourney? While Midjourney says you own the assets you make, it also says this: "You grant to Midjourney, its successors, and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute text, and image prompts You input into the Services, or Assets produced by the service at Your direction."
Can you add your brand name and bio on Amazon after you've already published books on Amazon? This video came out after I published 3 books. (I followed your help on another video)
Hi Paul, Silly question, but I created an author page, trademark, logo and banner. Is the next step to actually submit for a trademark? It’s like $350, so I’m hesitant since I just started, but I really want to add A+ content!
When you say you created a trademark, what are you referring to exactly? Trademark is a legal term for the protection of intellectual property. No you don't need to trademark anything to publish books
@@paulmarles sorry, I figured it out. Unfortunately, you have to be a registered brand on Amazon in order to use the A+ features, and to do that, you need to trademark your business name. It was worth it to me, so I paid to trademark it. I don’t see how I can sell anything if no one can see inside my books, you know?
Great video. Did midjourney create the images of the spiral notebooks in your banner image? So, we could use AI to create mock-ups for our products? I ask because I work in a space where it is very difficult to find mock ups for my product. This would be huge for me. Thank you!
Hi Paul, is there a way for midjourney or other AI software to create book characters consistently? Like if I want to publish a story book for kids and the characters are horse, dog and little boy (example only) and there are several scenes/pages, is there a way for midjourney to create consistent picture of the characters across all scenes? Coz right now I think there's no way to do it? Like in scene 1 -> the boy is sitting then scene 2 -> the same boy is now running. Would really appreciate your response. Thanks.
Hi Paul, quick question for you: I’ve been using CANVA Pro for several months and used similar programs for years. Just recently I keep getting KDP margin/trim error message on the same exact numbers….odd. Have you ever encountered this?
Heyy paul, I heard that Canva doesn't allow us to use their free elements anymore likewise using their any of their tools for printing and selling them to Amazon KDP or any others platform is something they restricted recently which can be occur in Copyright issue. Is this true or not plzz confirm it!! I'm a bit confuse which free tool should I use for making those Covers and Interior or else you can also advise me for a free tool for Amazon KDP I'm new in this field.
I am very frustrated with this as well. I just watched Canva video trying to “clear the air” about this and it absolutely did not. Basically Canva is useless now. And the examples they gave on how you can use their designs/elements legally were so ugly and ridiculous, no one will want to do that. KDP and Amazon have got to clear this up because 75%+ of KDP books will need to be unpublished then. It’s ridiculous. To me, if I pay for a service, like maybe Creative Fabrica or purchase a design from an Etsy designer that comes with commercial rights, I should be able to use that design outright, not having to change it.
I actually preferred it that way as it was a sliglty different image in a different style which I think makes it look better than just an exact copy of the logo on the left side.
Hello, I have a question: I published a book on amazon kdp almost a month ago and it still hasn't been accepted. I get emails from amazon once a week that I have to change the name of the book even though I've already changed it 3 times, do you think it's because it has the word "steampunk" in it? (it's about a coloring book in steampunk style)
It is better to invest now. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest. Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age.

Thanks to your content Paul, I published my first KDP content. Thank you, you are the best and most sincere of all the content creators I've seen.❤
Congratulations! That's great to hear. Glad you've found the videos helpful. 👍
Any sales yet ?
I cannot thank you enough for all of your videos! I am just starting out and your videos are very informative and helpful.
Thank you. Glad you find them helpful.
I've been trying to put circular text on a logo for the longest time! Your demo of how to do that alone made this video a goldmine!
Thank you for showing exactly how to get this done! I love the step by step instructions and appreciate your tutorials so much!
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Once again, step-by-step idea - how-to and get it done encouragement. Thanks so much!
This was great info. Thanks Paul!
You're welcome.
great video Paul, real easy to follow, much appreciated
Mr Paul, how can I use ai to color an illustration included my coloring book in order for me to use it in A+ content?
I think you would have to do it manually in somethihg like Affinity Designer, Illustrator or Inkscape.
Thank you for sharing this information, Paul
My pleasure!

Hello Mr. Paul. I have some coloring books published under my own name and I would like to create an author page on Amazon with a brand name. Do I then publish the next books under the brand name and leave the previously published ones under my name?
Greetings.
The competition is insane.
This is a great video. Do you recommend this as the first step before publishing my first book? I have been watching a bunch of your videos to create books but haven't published one yet.
I would start with just publishing books first.
Hello, I really appreciate your help and time. I can find the command box to create the image. I always in up on the community page ? Where do I go to find command box to ask questions to create for my books.
In MidJourney? It's usually at the bottom of the discord page.
beautiful mega man adventure!
Great tutorial Paul. Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Hello paul marles.. You have been a great help, I appreciate you.
Please is possible to add paperback (notebook or journals) up to 10 categories??
Much 💕
Not any more.
Thanks for the post. It just seems Amazon is already or will slap this... what's your take Paul?
For what reason?

Hi Paul, Thanks for all the information
i wanted to ask how long do you think I should promote my book until it got ranked organically?
There is no fixed time. It depends on many factors like competition of the niche, how many sales you're getting, ad spend etc. It it's not losing money or is breaking even I would peronally run a campaign until my book appears on the first page.

Yes please answer this Paul
The only things you can't change are the Title, Subtitle and ISBN. Description etc can be changed to include branding.
Unfortunately you can't change the title, subtitle, ISBN or author name after publishing.
Is it enough just to create a trademark without officially registering it?
You can create your KDP brand name without registering it as a trademark.
Can you please help us by teaching how to make a book mock-up.
Paul to open a Author Central profile do I need to publish a book first?
You would because you need to claim your book when creating a profile.
AI-generated Content in KDP, For Image part, Does it mean Cover too? If we use image from Ai for Cover.

Apparently it is. If you search 'midjourney book character' on RUclips you will be presented with quite a number of video on that subject.

No, I haven't encountered that issue. I normally use templates to set my margins so haven't had an issue.

Mid journey changed the logo on the banner…I became irritated 😤 but still a good job!
I actually preferred it that way as it was a sliglty different image in a different style which I think makes it look better than just an exact copy of the logo on the left side.
Great vidéo thanx❤️
You're welcome.
Nice vidéo have u one about Amazon ads ?
The logo looks like Yggdrasil 🙂
Does it matter to make a brand name? or i can use my own name
Perfectly fine to use your own name.
@@paulmarles thanks🙏

Wow, you're in hot waters. Steampunk is trademarked, not free for you to use, it's like using 'Disney' on your cover!
hello captain
I live in Thailand, how can I download free Margin templates? that can be loaded for free
Paul. There is a major issue with this video. I have sent you a message on facebook. This is not fake!
I received it thank you. 👍
How is this legal? All publishers on KDP forum told me we cannot use brand names, only human pen names!!!
You just can’t use keyword packed names, a brand name is 100% allowed!
A brand name is fine.

Hi, how can i contact you for cousoltation?
WARNING, this man is lying to you. You cannot copyright any of the AI generated images because you have not created them and you dont own them. That means you cannot generate a logo with AI as it would make you legally liable.
I'm pretty sure you can as long as you pay for the subscription.
