Paperback ... the only time to use hardcover books is when the book will be kept after it's finished; like a novel or story book. Most activity books are thrown away once they're done, so it's not worth creating them in hardcover and incurring all that extra expense.

Just hold down your "Shift" key as you're selecting the pages from the left hand column. Then right click on one of the pages and choose "delete" to delete them all or "clear" to remove the content from them all.

@@CraigBabin Great thanks very much. Am guessing there is not an easier way of selecting a lot of pages at once in a grid view.

@@CarlPendlePhotos No, you can only delete pages from the left hand column.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes. You can upload to each market manually, or upload to the US first and wait about 2 weeks, then just apply the ASIN number in each market for a quick approval.

Cover Vault has been out of commission for a while now. You're better off getting mockups from Adobe Stock or Placeit.

You're welcome.

It's a good book.

I couldn't agree more, @@CraigBabin! Thanks for commenting!

There won't be a course, but there is a full length drawing video based on this character in my "Draw with Me" playlist.

Absolutely, any genre can earn passive income just as long as there is a market for it.

I'm pretty sure you can, but I don't use Canva.

I'm glad you like them.

You're welcome 😊

Ha ha. You're welcome!

Never mind… just read a previous comment. I guess there is no such option

No, you can't change the number of pages after you've created the book. But you can delete and add pages at any time. If you want to delete pages, go over to the left hand column, select all of the pages you want to delete, right click on one of them and choose delete.

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad to hear it!

You're very welcome!

Maybe these videos of mine will help clear up some of your concerns : th-cam.com/video/slPwJazU3Kw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-cB-V7nBS9tlmNl5 th-cam.com/video/7-zzTAHpTl8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_dfVF6BTS8k7B4gK

You're paying for a service that generates unique puzzles that you have a right to use commercially. When you use those puzzles in a book, you own the copyrights to the book as a whole.

I don't know what you're asking me.

If what you mean is that if you have published your book with someone other than KDP (like Ingram Spark), or any other publisher, can you still use Amazon ads? Yes. Anyone who sells a product on Amazon can use Amazon ads. As far as A+ content, it is available for all Amazon sellers, but it's accessed differently for sellers than it is for KDP users. As an Amazon seller, you would have to access it through Seller Central instead of through your KDP account.

I would find it difficult to build a house or even create medicine for cancer, as an artistic designer. But I could create one of these coloring books in just a few days. You may find this hard because design may not be your strong suit. As for Book Bolt, it's a desk top publishing software that's designed specifically for the purpose of creating books for KDP. It's like Adobe InDesign only it's exclusively simplified for book publishing only. As for what the app offers; it allows you to lay out your entire book (interior and cover) all at once, which even InDesign doesn't do. It will also generate a multitude of puzzles for you such as word search, crossword, sudoku, etc. And finally, it's a research tool that allows you to research profitable niches on Amazon, before you even begin to create your book. So that you don't waste your time creating a book that no one will ever buy. This process may seem difficult, but I assure you it's really not once you get the hang of it.

I don't know about the US, but you do in Canada. lol

@@CraigBabin In the UK we have to pay £1 if we lose our card, but not pay for the actual card.

@@sdff3965 A library card in Canada is around $2, so it's not expensive.

I've never had to buy an American library card

@@michelethe80sbaby As a Canadian I can't complain, I've never had to pay for Health Care. lol

Awesome! Thank you!

Let me know how it works out for you.

Yes I do, and I see you've already found that video. Best of luck!

I feel the same way about process videos.

Glad it was helpful!

Good to know. KDP must be updating their settings.

Absolutely, they'll always accept it. Book Bolt doesn't use AI to generate the puzzles so there will never be a problem with them. And as for AI, as long as you identify that the book was created using AI when you upload it to KDP, you're fine.

Glad it was helpful!

I'm glad I'm able to help you in your business venture. As for the pre-order, I'm pretty sure that only eBooks can be pre-ordered with KDP. But don't quote me on it, you'll have to look into it to be sure. Best of luck!

It's not on Amazon it's on Gumroad. There's a link to it in the description section of this video. You can find the bundle here: Low Content Book Bundle for $3: bit.ly/37ZFCM5

The barcode that Amazon places on your book will be a rectangular box with a white background, so any illustration that you have in that bottom right hand corner on the back of your book will be covered up. That's why I recommend in the video not to place any important text or imagery in that area. The coral along the bottom of the book in this example is not important, so it can be covered by the barcode.

@@CraigBabin right. Thanks.

All reviews should be honest and a review on a book that was given as a gift can still be honest.

@@CraigBabin yes ik . I mean serious reviews. Can you help ?

@@manumalhotra8752 This video shows you a few ways on how to get those first initial reviews on your book. Once your book starts selling because of those initial reviews, it will all come down to how good of a product you made. At the end of the day, 90% of your reviews are going to come from making a product that people want and enjoy. I really don't believe that there is a secret way to get reviews, other than create good books.

This isn't about creating Sudoku's for yourself, this is creating books you can sell on Amazon to make income. And if you're selling content that already exists on Amazon (like pre-made Sudoku's you purchase that other sellers are also using), then there's a really good chance that your book will be removed and your seller's account terminated for using duplicate content.

You don't necessarily need a website, just as long as you have your Amazon author page set up. You can use that as your website and drive all of your traffic from your social media to that. All you have to do is forward your custom domain to the author page. That being said, many of the biggest authors do still use websites. It allows them to do promotional giveaways, as well as collect email addresses that can be used to market their new books to. But you're right, a landing page would also work just fine. Sites like Wix.com and Squarespace.com can be used to do that.

@@CraigBabin you sir are the GOAT!!! Thank you so much for your quick, helpful and detailed response. I've purchased my domain now. Thank you so, so much!! <3

You're very welcome!

I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for the sub.

My pleasure!

That happens from time to time, you just made a mistake when creating the mask. Unfortunately, all you can do is redo the mask properly.

Amazon is fine with you buying your own books. You don't want to give author copies to people because those copies have the author proof mark in them. Amazon actually encourages you to purchase at least a few of your own books when you launch your book. First, it allows you to see the actual finished product that the customer is going to receive. And secondly, it gives your book a sales ranking, which you don't get until you actually sell a book. And besides, wouldn't you want to own the first published copy of your own book? Now if you abuse the system and purchase thousands of copies, that's a different story. But giving away a dozen copies as gifts is fine. Yes, you are receiving a royalty when you do that, but it's you who is paying for that royalty when you purchase the book at full price. If you do public book signings at a comic con, you have to order copies of your book to sign. You can't use author copies because of the proof mark. So authors who make graffic novels, and who self publish through KDP, do this all the time. They may purchase 100 copies or more at a time to resell at trade shows.

Yeah, that's been changed since I created this video.

You're welcome!
