Very informative Sandy.. one request.. could you please cover LED lights selling or neon led lights or RGB led lights without having a real product.. I understand it is not digital product but if someone can fulfill our orders like Printify then it will be good. I will be looking forward to this. thanks for all your videos .. They are so good and your voice is class.
Truth is amazon never intended for low and no content, it was a hack, Ingramspark and other publishing platforms have banned them and amazon is closing so many accounts out of the blue related to them. Just compare termination rates of low content vs high content and you'll see it's likes 95 to 5%
I am a Sri Lankan person who has lost his job due to the economic situation in Sri Lanka. I would like to know how to make a good income through online as you say but I don't have the necessary knowledge.
I can only imagine how many coloring books there are going to be out there now :))) I think we should all start making RUclips videos "how to make xyz and make $5k a month" you don't need to make anything, just one time video that can be making you $5000 a month over and over by telling others and giving others false hopes. It's a time consuming process, takes a lot of research, takes a lot of marketing! That is not talked about in this video :))
I’m with you on that! I fell for it too, only it was selling on Etsy. So I did open a shop, and I still have it, but no way am I earning $4000 a month! A good month for me selling stickers is $400! The thing that no one talks about is how hard it is to market your product! Doesn’t matter how many research u do beforehand, how beautiful and good quality ur product is, if u don’t know how to market? You ain’t getting nothing!! And that’s the challenge! If u don’t have a business background or have no creative juices to do reels on instagram or tiktok, or doesn’t know how to post engaging instagram posts, feed, or story or can’t even take a good aesthetic picture for ur product, forget it!! If u have extra money to spend, hire someone who can or forget the idea altogether! There, that’s the TRUTH!
It's an 11-minute video. Anyone with half a brain knows 1) she can't cover every aspect. She did say you have to research and market properly. The presumption for most people would be to keep digging and find out what all is involved. 2) $4k actually isn't unreasonable IF you're willing to do the work. Basically, money isn't free. That's common sense.
Yeah, it looks like a video to market those other companies. Plus I’m sure her links are getting her a commission. It’s bs. I stopped this vid 2 minutes in.
Finally a professional communicator describes the process. She speaks clearly , slowly, concisely, and professionally. Its so important because these people doing tutorials on this, all loosey-goosey... it comes off as a scam. This is the right way
thank you Sandra, I love all your insight and information that your have shared. I have two jobs and I have been praying for an online income. And i am so grateful for you, you have shared hope and this is exactly what i needed. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed your video and learned a lot. I have Book Bolt, but I have not used it as you have described here. Thank you so much!! However, to be clear, the way I understand it from the KDP website, "KDP offers a fixed 60% royalty rate on paperbacks sold on Amazon marketplaces where KDP supports paperback distribution. Your royalty is 60% of your list price. We then subtract printing costs, which depend on trim size, page count, ink type, and the Amazon marketplace your paperback was ordered from. (Royalty rate x list price) - printing costs = royalty For example, your list price is $15. Your book is a 333-page regular trim size paperback with black ink sold on the US marketplace: (0.60 x $15) - $5.00 = $4.00" At the 2.25 minute mark in the video, it is stated that if a book is sold for $6.77 and 631 books are sold, that would generate "$4,271.87 in passive income". That is not what the author receives. I have books on KDP that are listed at $6.99 each. When one sells, my royalty is 60% of that which is $4.19 then $2.84 is subtracted for printing costs, which leaves me with a payout of $1.35. If I sold 631 books monthly, KDP would pay me $854.38 for those sales. That is pretty awesome, and I hope my books will all sell that many each month, but it is not $4,271 to me for 631 sales.
Remember that the IRS will see $4,272 worth of income, the rest is expenses that are deductible to your business. Your Profit is $854. It's just like your 9-5 paycheck. You get $3,000 and your net check is $2,200 after all your deductions (or in this case expenses.). Hope this makes sense. I would be happy with the ~$800 extra a month!!
Thank you, I was curious about this and happy you explained. I was missing the part about printing, it's not free. How do you know the printing price? Is this a percentage, or can you see it anywhere what it will be depending on your size of book and number of pages?
so one thing I notice with a lot of these videos is titles and then people using best sellers as example instead of their own sales. Do you have your own sales showing 4k a month in sales?
Regarding selling on Amazon, I saw, as part of their agreement with you, that you MUST give them rights to all of your items. They have the right to take your item and sell it without giving you any of the profits. Did you see that? Is that true? Thanks!
You can still sell the products you already made with the design. You are just no longer allowed to create NEW products with those images after you cancel your subscription. But if you don’t have a subscription and just pay per download, then you can make however many products you want with those images (as long as they don’t give a particular amount for that image. Like it says that the license is good for 1000 products before you have to rebuy that image license.) but I believe most, if not all, images on Creative Fabrica let you use the images however many times you want to after you pay the one time fee.
I'm going to try it , I need to earn money ,but every other RUclipsr that show this kind of content,only wants to sell me a course ,thank you for a real help
Nice presentation. I noticed that BOOK BOLT categories do not include “travel” ebooks. Is it because travel ebooks are not so popular? I appreciate your response!!!
For everyone reading this hoping to get rich quick from Amazon... it isn't that easy! But it can be a rewardable side-hustle as you scale to having lots of books. I'm on 60+ published books now and still grinding away. I think you'd need at least 200+ high quality books (supported by ad spend) to be able to start thinking about making a full-time income.
I can't find your book on Amazon. There is another one with the exact same title, different front cover. Have you actually had any sales yet? Thank you.
Hello Sandra, thanks so much for your videos that are so helpful. I know that when you use the images from Creative Fabrica you have to modify them in order not to have license/copyright problems. Is putting a quote or a writing over them like you did in your coloring book enough (to avoid license issues), or did you also have to modify the Creative Fabrica images as well? My other question is: in terms of book creation do you find that Book Bolt is superior to Canva (not considering the trend selection, but only focusing on its book creation functions). Thanks
I personally find Book Bolt better because they come with pre-made templates for you and the measurements are compliant with KDP standards, but honestly both are great!! Create Fabrica just requires that you modify the original image so that they can't be "extracted" by third parties. So putting quotes over top achieves that :) Hope that helps!
Which item do you pick under publishing rights in Amazon KDP please. Thanks in advance. The choices are: (1) I own the copyright and I hold necessary publishing rights. (2) This is a public domain work
Choose "I own the copyright" that is the right choice. .public domain is for public domain books that you re-publish with changes this is a whole other publishing model that you can research but is not applicable to most books.
I am very exited to get kdp.can you help me. Which books should we take for selling and check from where to make this book and sell it. And then make these children's books and they will be sold. Will you guide me?
Very informative video and thank you for the free trials. About 2 years ago I started self-publishing on KDP. I have done all of the above in an effort to sell my 32 low content books in what I researched to be a “less competitive niche” but they are still not selling.
Hi there!! Have you joined the Book Bolt Facebook group? The owner of Book Bolt is in there every day giving tips on what to do to make sales. There are many creators in there seeing results just by attending his live weekly calls and asking for help :)
@@shafiq_ramli I’ve had one sale in 2 years. The reality is you have to put in a lot of time and effort to promote your book(s). You can do it yourself for free on social media or pay for advertising. I will not pay for advertising as a beginner. It’s counterproductive. I’m trying to make passive income, not spending money. And in the beginning creating my books took many hours.
I'm a little confused as many other YT channels are advising against doing low/medium content books.. they say it's saturated now etc. What are your thoughts on that?
100% they are saturated, but there is still demand. So it's either creating something better that already exists and advertising it to get sales, or finding a hungry niche with less competition. Both are possible, but it can be a bit of pot luck and it takes a lot of work!
Hi Sandra, great video - do you mind sharing your revenue numbers based off selling this book you created? It would be helpful to see if this was successful for you.
Hi Sandra! I have a question about Book Bolt: how accurate is the Amazon Search Volume (which is in the last month, right?) for a particular keyword? For example, on Book Bolt I find a keyword with 20000-30000 AMZ Search Volume and 800 results on AMZ. I doubt that I found the golden ticket for that keyword so I`m wondering if the AMZ search volume results are actually accurate? Also, for keywords that AMZ is giving me in the search bar - which would be the most searched for, right? - i find 1000-2000 AMZ search volume on book bolt. Am I doing something wrong?
2:18 - Wait. Hold up. 🛑 Why doesn’t anyone talk about the COST of printing the book via Amazon? That example of the inspirational coloring book selling over 600 books/month at the price of $6.77 doesn’t equate to them earning over 4K/month. Not only does Amazon take a big percentage of each sale, they also charge a hefty fee for the cost of making your book. And after Amazon takes their percentage, plus the cost of printing, you are left with about 30% of the sale! These people making these videos need to keep it 💯 and stop trying to sell bs to people. Be all the way honest about the entire process and facts! There’s no way that person is making a livable profit. Probably no profit at all. Keep it a buck.
Good point - Sandra should have mentioned it. But if you are a least slightly familier with any kind of PoD and distribution then you'll know that after fee's, costs and the biggie, tax, you'll only get to keep a small percentage. I think there are many other videos on here that explain the pitfalls. For me it's all about getting 2-4 side hustles, going for large volumes and hopefully it'll all equate to a decent full time salary on the side after 6-12 months of putting the hours in. But the video definitely should at least mention this, if only briefly.
Hi! I've been watching some of your videos recently and trying to apply everything that I have learned from you but can you suggest me a different website to create a good eBooks other than creative fabrica? I can't make the free trial subscription because it asks me for my PayPal account and it needs to be linked to a debit/bank account which I don't have right now, I got my bank account closed due to being unable to pay the monthly fee to keep my account open, I hit the rock bottom stage of life and now trying to stay up on my feet again, I just bought a old second hand laptop and your videos inspired me to try this kind of business hoping this kind of business help me. keep up the good work and hoping to see more of your videos
Hello my name is Rebekka and I just came across your video and I wanted to ask, I want to write a biography book but it's going to be a Christian book. I tried to write it back in 1996 but gave up due health issues and I lost my drive and dedication to it. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I still know I want to do more and write more books after my biography. Would you have any idea where I would start? Thanks.🙂
@@sunbalumar5783 Sadly no sales. My mistake was not researching enough. I should have looked a little harder to find a profitable niche. I made two coloring books and neither one of them has brought in any money. I wish you the best of luck though.
Hi! I am at the stage of uploading the coloring book for my KDP manuscript section. However, it requires the json files to be either PDF or Doc, or HTML. You might want to update your video to explain that bit. IMO.
is all this a scam? according to what i found out on the internet, that when customers come to your store, you have to pay for the product, yourself? i dont understand
Thanks Sandra. This was truly inspirational. I have identified a niche but note on amazon that most of the sellers have spiral binding with tags. Is this option available on KDP printed books?
Dear Sandra, could you please teach how we can upload multi options for amazon. Example one cover page with 6 interior options in KDP or Bookbolt. Thank you!
Hi Sandra Di thank you for this tutorial. I am very interested in your formula fo creating coloring books. what is the formula on the amazon side. A cup of coffee is quite in order.
Please can u describe clearly how to do various klicks . Is this not possible that you write down point vise that a lay man can understand. Please there er many needy girls and boys who wanted to do that job but can not reach the goal.
Just FYI, this isn’t a possible side hustle for people living in countries where Amazon isn’t available. I’m from Denmark, and there’s no danish Amazon site so can’t set up an account to sell anything.
Sandra, Thank you for some great information. I have seen a number of your videos all of which are excellent. Question about coloring books... what is a goo number of pages to have in a kids coloring book? Adult coloring book? Thanks in advance.
Hi there! I decided on 50 pages because many similar books offered that :) take a look at similar books within your niche and see what they're offering. That will help!
hi. thank you and i have a question as to sign in into bookbolt free trial we need to provide bank card numb. is bookbolt automatically charging after 3 days free trial for a month or decision can be made after 3 days free trial? just want to make sure that when we agree for 3 days free trial we are not automatically agreeing for monthly payment. thank you.
Thank you Sandra. Your videos are excellent and very informative. I'm learning a lot from watching many of your videos. I purchased both Book Bolt and Creative Fabrica with your links. I'm ready to create my first book. For the grey color in the interior pages. I would like to exactly duplicate that color. Can you please let me know what the #hex numbers are. Thank you again Sandra.
I am a Sri Lankan person who has lost his job due to the economic situation in Sri Lanka. I would like to know how to make a good income through online as you say but I don't have the necessary knowledge.
can you direct me on where im going wrong i created two coloring books and when publishing to amazon kdp it keeps giving me a error and i have tried so many things and nothing is working one book is 6x9 because i forgot to make it 8.5 by 11 and its 67 pages but my second book is correct size 120 pages
hey Sandra, thanks for sharing all this. I noticed on Book Bolt that you can click on different arrows that go up or down next to AMZ SV and Google SV - just wondering what you had yours set to, as the numbers change quite a bit depending on how they are set. thanks!
Sandra, Love your videos. Wondering if you have any vidoes on creating and selling children books on etsy and the process that is used. Also, would KOJI be a good place to sell children books. TIA
Hi Sandra, any advice on how to get KDP to reinstate my account. It all of a sudden closed for content violation but they would not tell me which book and I did my due diligence and researched for trademarks too. I had a total of 4 books- 3 low content and 1 medium content coloring book created on Canva.
I can't say for sure, but I've been under the impression that Canva has changed their policies recently, unless I just misunderstood them all along (but I've found a number of people that have noticed the same thing). They seem to exclusively be limiting the commercial use of graphics from their site in all digital or POD products, regardless of whether or not you pay for a Canna Pro account. In my opinion, it makes it questionable as to what value Canva actually offers other than for advertising purposes since nothing can be used to be sold anymore (or like I said, maybe I've just misunderstood for years, but I don't think that's how their policies used to be). Anyway, if you're using Canva to create, then there's a chance that's why your content got flagged. 🤷♀
You are impressive!!! Sandra, please talk about the rights of our digital products, for example: if we have a successful book, how about piracy against us?
Unless you can copyright your work (like you personally drew all the images if making a coloring book and the cover art) and can trademark your title or any quotes used in your digital products, there isn't much else you can do against piracy. You can't copyright AI art anymore. Your product has to be 100% original and able to copyright/trademark whatever is in it to protect yourself against copycats. Also, though not specific to your question, you need to know your rights when using things like creative fabrica. You need to make sure "Commercial & Full POD usage allowed" is stated under the download button.
They answered it quite well! Anyone is allowed to use the images in Creative Fabrica and Book Bolt. The more you can do to make it unique, the better, but you can't copyright it unless it's 100% your original work
@@Lexiecutioner Spider, if you and I, create a 100% original content, what can we do, about our license? Just imagine, that we create a Harry Potter-like book, best seller, and beyond...
@@Trupper73 You're discussing a high-content book on a video about a medium-content book. Those are not the same. You can copyright your high-content book so you're protected against plagiarism so people can't steal your characters, words and any other original content. However, people can use your story as inspiration to write their own story. For example, the Twilight stories were originally written as fanfiction based off of another vampire series (Vampire Diaries). Publishers reached out and got her to change the names and settings of her fanfiction stories to make it an original piece and expand it into a franchise.
HELLO 🙏, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING SO MANY VIDEOS ABOUT CRPT0 AND FOREX TRADE INVESTMENT BUT YET I'M STILL MAKING LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN, PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME A GOOD STRATEGY OR AT LEAST ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE GOOD PROFIT THROUGH INVESTING 🙏?
I lost £1200 carelessly trading on a platform before I was referred to WONGHUATRADE , he recovered the loss and made an extra profit of £4600.. stop trading on your own if you keep losing and start trading with Wonghuatrade trading services.. Consistency is key✌🏻
I followed your Video and I keep getting errors. I wished you showed the whole process. It is saying all the blank grey pages are not in the Margine. but I don't know how to change that since it's a blank page.
I have completed a book on commercial real estate, and I have gone through all the editing and formatting processes. I have received an author's proof from KDP, and an author's proof from Lulu, and will be getting an author's proof from IngramSpark soon. What I need is some advice as to what print on demand company I should use, and some of the glitches that I am finding, (examples: KDP’s interior paper is too thin, my hardcover and paperback covers that were professionally formatted are not working on KDP, etc.). I would rather have someone do all of this for me. I need to speak to a real person! Can you recommend anyone who can take the ball from here and complete what I need to have done? I started this book more than 3 years ago, and I have put much time and effort into it. At this point, I will pay anything to get this to the goal line. I am hoping you can help me in some way with advice and or a recommendation. Thanks, Dan.
Thank you very much. Basically, this is how you click together a book. Of course, that's different from writing your own book. It seems to work in sales. That's why it's interesting. One question - do the stores, like Pepper Lomax, know that you're bringing them here as an example? Are they your own stores? Or Do you have permission from them to bring them here as an example? Or do you do that without being asked?
Thank you Sandra, fantastic informative video as usual. They are all about content & no fluff; you are in a league of your own, with your training videos. I watched a training/webinar video a short while ago & then at the end, they tried to sell a system that cost thousands. That sort of technique is deplorable; kudos to you for being so genuine & helpful! 🤩🤩
Thank you for this so informative video! I have a question, if I’m going to be selling Spanish books, should I write the title and description of the book in Spanish or English when I’m uploading it to Amazon?

Hi Sandra, how would you market your books outside of amazon? Would you use Pinterest or Instagram? Thanks!
Very informative video and thank you for the free trials. About 2 years ago I started self-publishing on KDP. I have done all of the above in an effort to sell my 32 low content books in what I researched to be a “less competitive niche” but they are still not selling.
You haven't made a single sale?
@artbyedna9210 have you made any sales at all?
Hi there!! Have you joined the Book Bolt Facebook group? The owner of Book Bolt is in there every day giving tips on what to do to make sales. There are many creators in there seeing results just by attending his live weekly calls and asking for help :)
@@shafiq_ramli I’ve had one sale in 2 years. The reality is you have to put in a lot of time and effort to promote your book(s). You can do it yourself for free on social media or pay for advertising. I will not pay for advertising as a beginner. It’s counterproductive. I’m trying to make passive income, not spending money. And in the beginning creating my books took many hours.
@@artbyedna9210thank you for being honest
I'm a little confused as many other YT channels are advising against doing low/medium content books.. they say it's saturated now etc. What are your thoughts on that?
They're lying
100% they are saturated, but there is still demand. So it's either creating something better that already exists and advertising it to get sales, or finding a hungry niche with less competition. Both are possible, but it can be a bit of pot luck and it takes a lot of work!
@@selfpublishingempire not if you use Amazon sponsored ads. How much are those?
Hi Sandra, great video - do you mind sharing your revenue numbers based off selling this book you created? It would be helpful to see if this was successful for you.
It will be a few dollars most likely!
Hi Sandra! I have a question about Book Bolt: how accurate is the Amazon Search Volume (which is in the last month, right?) for a particular keyword? For example, on Book Bolt I find a keyword with 20000-30000 AMZ Search Volume and 800 results on AMZ. I doubt that I found the golden ticket for that keyword so I`m wondering if the AMZ search volume results are actually accurate? Also, for keywords that AMZ is giving me in the search bar - which would be the most searched for, right? - i find 1000-2000 AMZ search volume on book bolt. Am I doing something wrong?
2:18 - Wait. Hold up. 🛑 Why doesn’t anyone talk about the COST of printing the book via Amazon? That example of the inspirational coloring book selling over 600 books/month at the price of $6.77 doesn’t equate to them earning over 4K/month. Not only does Amazon take a big percentage of each sale, they also charge a hefty fee for the cost of making your book. And after Amazon takes their percentage, plus the cost of printing, you are left with about 30% of the sale! These people making these videos need to keep it 💯 and stop trying to sell bs to people. Be all the way honest about the entire process and facts! There’s no way that person is making a livable profit. Probably no profit at all. Keep it a buck.
Good point - Sandra should have mentioned it. But if you are a least slightly familier with any kind of PoD and distribution then you'll know that after fee's, costs and the biggie, tax, you'll only get to keep a small percentage.
I think there are many other videos on here that explain the pitfalls. For me it's all about getting 2-4 side hustles, going for large volumes and hopefully it'll all equate to a decent full time salary on the side after 6-12 months of putting the hours in.
But the video definitely should at least mention this, if only briefly.
Ansd this is the first vid of her's I've watched. So I would hope in the longer more detailed videos she explains the fee's, costs & profits.
You are a blessing, @SandraDi.
Hi! I've been watching some of your videos recently and trying to apply everything that I have learned from you
but can you suggest me a different website to create a good eBooks other than creative fabrica?
I can't make the free trial subscription because it asks me for my PayPal account and it needs to be linked to a debit/bank account which I don't have right now, I got my bank account closed due to being unable to pay the monthly fee to keep my account open, I hit the rock bottom stage of life and now trying to stay up on my feet again, I just bought a old second hand laptop and your videos inspired me to try this kind of business hoping this kind of business help me. keep up the good work and hoping to see more of your videos
Hi Sandra 😊 Is It Okay To Also Create Journal Books In Canva To Upload In Bookbolt Using This Same Method ?
sandra DI, IS there any Plagrism issue if 2 seller used same picture from creative fabrica?
Love your content by the way. I am so looking forward to creating some amazing things for use as a fund-raiser for children's chairities.
I was scammed by Amazon KDP Publications.I
Hello my name is Rebekka and I just came across your video and I wanted to ask, I want to write a biography book but it's going to be a Christian book. I tried to write it back in 1996 but gave up due health issues and I lost my drive and dedication to it. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I still know I want to do more and write more books after my biography. Would you have any idea where I would start? Thanks.🙂
Just uploaded my coloring book, we'll see how this goes. If I remember I'll come back once I get a sale.
Did u get a sale??
@@sunbalumar5783 Sadly no sales. My mistake was not researching enough. I should have looked a little harder to find a profitable niche. I made two coloring books and neither one of them has brought in any money. I wish you the best of luck though.
@@Peaceandpoetryany updates?
@@lohitdatta I left them up for a couple of months. They didn't sell, so I took them down.
@@Peaceandpoetry alright. Thnx!
My 7 journals are banned from amazon. I don't understand why.
Hi! I am at the stage of uploading the coloring book for my KDP manuscript section. However, it requires the json files to be either PDF or Doc, or HTML. You might want to update your video to explain that bit. IMO.
How to create low-content books if I don't have a bookbolt subscription?
is all this a scam? according to what i found out on the internet, that when customers come to your store, you have to pay for the product, yourself? i dont understand
That's not true at all lol the customer pays and Amazon will take a cut of the sale. It's up to you to set the prices
Hi, I think what you found on the internet is Print On Demand.
Thanks Sandra. This was truly inspirational. I have identified a niche but note on amazon that most of the sellers have spiral binding with tags. Is this option available on KDP printed books?
No spiral binding isn’t provided by Amazon currently. I use lulu books for spiral binding
@SandraDi 😍 Thanks for sharing this info. You INSPIRED me to make my video on AI Coloring Books. 🤓 Keep up the great work. 💪😎👍
Anyone tried doing this? How was your experience? i am a busy busy mom but would like to try this side hustle!
I looked for your coloring book but couldn't find it. I did find several that looked alot like yours only different covers
Dear Sandra, could you please teach how we can upload multi options for amazon. Example one cover page with 6 interior options in KDP or Bookbolt. Thank you!
Hi Sandra, does the 100 pages include the gray pages in your count?
Hi @SandraDi, what software do you use to design your book? It's not Indesign or Canva I see. Anyone knows?
Hi Sandra Di thank you for this tutorial. I am very interested in your formula fo creating coloring books. what is the formula on the amazon side. A cup of coffee is quite in order.
Please can u describe clearly how to do various klicks
. Is this not possible that you write down point vise that a lay man can understand. Please there er many needy girls and boys who wanted to do that job but can not reach the goal.
Just FYI, this isn’t a possible side hustle for people living in countries where Amazon isn’t available. I’m from Denmark, and there’s no danish Amazon site so can’t set up an account to sell anything.
Correct Amazon has to be available where you are
😁 *IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUBLISH ONLY 30 OR 40 BOOKS, AND GENERATE SALES? OR ONE NECESSARILY , HAS TO PUBLISH AT LEAST 500 BOOKS?* 🤔
Sandra, Thank you for some great information. I have seen a number of your videos all of which are excellent. Question about coloring books... what is a goo number of pages to have in a kids coloring book? Adult coloring book? Thanks in advance.
Hi there! I decided on 50 pages because many similar books offered that :) take a look at similar books within your niche and see what they're offering. That will help!
hi. thank you and i have a question as to sign in into bookbolt free trial we need to provide bank card numb. is bookbolt automatically charging after 3 days free trial for a month or decision can be made after 3 days free trial? just want to make sure that when we agree for 3 days free trial we are not automatically agreeing for monthly payment. thank you.
clear explanatıons, actuallt the one about " niche and demand". thank you.
Could you share what your net profits were, minus expenses?
Thank you Sandra. Your videos are excellent and very informative. I'm learning a lot from watching many of your videos. I purchased both Book Bolt and Creative Fabrica with your links. I'm ready to create my first book. For the grey color in the interior pages. I would like to exactly duplicate that color. Can you please let me know what the #hex numbers are. Thank you again Sandra.
THANK YOU But there is a problem with the images. If Amazon asks for the rights of the images, what should we do?
Hi Sandra . How can I cancel Creative Fabrica membership? Thanks...
I can’t find this coloring book on Amazon or google.
You are amazing! You really earn and also you teach us! Thank you, so much young lady! You are wonderful! This is one of my favorite RUclips channels.
Amazing tips Sandra! Thanks for sharing!
You're so welcome!!
I am a Sri Lankan person who has lost his job due to the economic situation in Sri Lanka. I would like to know how to make a good income through online as you say but I don't have the necessary knowledge.
Wow this lady is amazing and so creaive
i am from Sri Lanka. i cant english well. but i understand your explain. good video.. i like it more..
i subscibed your channel
can you direct me on where im going wrong i created two coloring books and when publishing to amazon kdp it keeps giving me a error and i have tried so many things and nothing is working one book is 6x9 because i forgot to make it 8.5 by 11 and its 67 pages but my second book is correct size 120 pages
hey Sandra, thanks for sharing all this. I noticed on Book Bolt that you can click on different arrows that go up or down next to AMZ SV and Google SV - just wondering what you had yours set to, as the numbers change quite a bit depending on how they are set. thanks!
hi, can you sell in Amazon KDP even from the Philippines or is this only for US sellers? thanks
Thanks so much Sandra..😊😊
Sandra, Love your videos. Wondering if you have any vidoes on creating and selling children books on etsy and the process that is used. Also, would KOJI be a good place to sell children books. TIA
please if possible make a video on how to edit your kdp listing after publishing to add mockup images of your book :)
Yess absolutely I will!! Thank you for the suggestion!
Havr you run any Ads to sell this book?
How does kdp work? I mean who will print our items?
Nice and Love your guidence 🥰
Hello di, how about taxes here in India for this side hustle?
Where you get the manuscript of the main content of each book ? That video is not complete.
Hi Sandra, any advice on how to get KDP to reinstate my account. It all of a sudden closed for content violation but they would not tell me which book and I did my due diligence and researched for trademarks too. I had a total of 4 books- 3 low content and 1 medium content coloring book created on Canva.
I can't say for sure, but I've been under the impression that Canva has changed their policies recently, unless I just misunderstood them all along (but I've found a number of people that have noticed the same thing). They seem to exclusively be limiting the commercial use of graphics from their site in all digital or POD products, regardless of whether or not you pay for a Canna Pro account. In my opinion, it makes it questionable as to what value Canva actually offers other than for advertising purposes since nothing can be used to be sold anymore (or like I said, maybe I've just misunderstood for years, but I don't think that's how their policies used to be). Anyway, if you're using Canva to create, then there's a chance that's why your content got flagged. 🤷♀
I am from Iran. is AMAZON KDP free for IRANIANS? can i use it? i mean because of sanctions.
Hi Sandra, did you use the CF pages bundle as is for KDP ?
You're very good. Even though I can't hear it but I'll try. Thank you very much.
Amazing work you really motivated me to do it 😊
You are impressive!!!
Sandra, please talk about the rights of our digital products, for example: if we have a successful book, how about piracy against us?
Unless you can copyright your work (like you personally drew all the images if making a coloring book and the cover art) and can trademark your title or any quotes used in your digital products, there isn't much else you can do against piracy. You can't copyright AI art anymore. Your product has to be 100% original and able to copyright/trademark whatever is in it to protect yourself against copycats. Also, though not specific to your question, you need to know your rights when using things like creative fabrica. You need to make sure "Commercial & Full POD usage allowed" is stated under the download button.
They answered it quite well! Anyone is allowed to use the images in Creative Fabrica and Book Bolt. The more you can do to make it unique, the better, but you can't copyright it unless it's 100% your original work
@@SandraDi Thank you for your answer, but if it is 100% original from me, how can I protect it?
@@Lexiecutioner Spider, if you and I, create a 100% original content, what can we do, about our license? Just imagine, that we create a Harry Potter-like book, best seller, and beyond...
@@Trupper73 You're discussing a high-content book on a video about a medium-content book. Those are not the same.
You can copyright your high-content book so you're protected against plagiarism so people can't steal your characters, words and any other original content. However, people can use your story as inspiration to write their own story. For example, the Twilight stories were originally written as fanfiction based off of another vampire series (Vampire Diaries). Publishers reached out and got her to change the names and settings of her fanfiction stories to make it an original piece and expand it into a franchise.
What's the $4,271 mentioned in the title?
HELLO 🙏, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING SO MANY VIDEOS ABOUT CRPT0 AND FOREX TRADE INVESTMENT BUT YET I'M STILL MAKING LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN, PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME A GOOD STRATEGY OR AT LEAST ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE GOOD PROFIT THROUGH INVESTING 🙏?
That's true most people today have been having a lot of failure in Forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts
I lost £1200 carelessly trading on a platform before I was referred to WONGHUATRADE , he recovered the loss and made an extra profit of £4600..
stop trading on your own if you keep losing and start trading with Wonghuatrade trading services.. Consistency is key✌🏻
Wow...amazing to see another investor who trades with Wonghuatrade , i am currently on my 5th trade with him and my portfolio has grown tremendously.
You don't need to be shock because I'm also a huge beneficiary of Wonghuatrade .. Earning from USA 🖐
I'm so happy for taking the bold step in working and investing $10000 with Wonghuatrade after a week I received $109,680 to my wallet
Thank you very much, you are wonderful
I followed your Video and I keep getting errors. I wished you showed the whole process. It is saying all the blank grey pages are not in the Margine. but I don't know how to change that since it's a blank page.
Thank you Sandra, you have inspired me!
Yayy I'm so glad!! You're very welcome! 🥰🥰
I have completed a book on commercial real estate, and I have gone through all the editing and formatting processes.
I have received an author's proof from KDP, and an author's proof from Lulu, and will be getting an author's proof from IngramSpark soon. What I need is some advice as to what print on demand company I should use, and some of the glitches that I am finding, (examples: KDP’s interior paper is too thin, my hardcover and paperback covers that were professionally formatted are not working on KDP, etc.).
I would rather have someone do all of this for me. I need to speak to a real person!
Can you recommend anyone who can take the ball from here and complete what I need to have done?
I started this book more than 3 years ago, and I have put much time and effort into it.
At this point, I will pay anything to get this to the goal line.
I am hoping you can help me in some way with advice and or a recommendation. Thanks, Dan.
Thanks a million mam it was soo helpul i will try now inshallah
Thank you very much. Basically, this is how you click together a book. Of course, that's different from writing your own book. It seems to work in sales. That's why it's interesting. One question - do the stores, like Pepper Lomax, know that you're bringing them here as an example? Are they your own stores? Or Do you have permission from them to bring them here as an example? Or do you do that without being asked?
Fantastic video as usual. Could you please tell me the size of the book you have as a sample?
It's 8.5" x 11" :)
@@SandraDi Thank you!

Awwww thank youuu so much for your support as always ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Sandra, fantastic informative video as usual. They are all about content & no fluff; you are in a league of your own, with your training videos. I watched a training/webinar video a short while ago & then at the end, they tried to sell a system that cost thousands. That sort of technique is deplorable; kudos to you for being so genuine & helpful! 🤩🤩
That means a lot to me thank you so much!! I really try to pack in as much information as I possibly can in each video ❤️
@SandraDi how do we format these finished canva ebooks into kdp? I'm stuck. Is there a video on that?
Thank you for this so informative video! I have a question, if I’m going to be selling Spanish books, should I write the title and description of the book in Spanish or English when I’m uploading it to Amazon?
