Paul: CONGRATULATIONS on your ability to explain, Easy + Transparent + Honest. You transmit!!! That is the important thing. 😀..🙏🙏 Thank you + thank you + thank you 💖💖💖
Hey Paul, another brilliant video tutorial. When I say thank you, I really mean it. I don't think people realize how much time it took you to learn everything that you teach in your tutorials. We don't have to wonder what or how to do things. You've given us everything to succeed. We only have to use our imagination. Thank you and God bless! 🤗👏
Not sure why people want to create books quickly. I used to do that and really poor sales performance. We know that low content books are saturated with creators, so then the only way to raise your sales and stand out is by taking your time and improve your quality. That's how I raised my sales and it's been working really well so far. I'm not dismissing the video, just sharing my two cents.
Hi Paul from Canada. You are a really good teacher. Thank you for all your videos, you have helped me so much. Today I am going to upload my first book to KDP.
Hey Paul, I just stumbled upon your TH-cam channel a week or so ago. My first duotone journal (second journal overall) was published on 1/3 and I just got my first sale yesterday (two days later). All I did was follow your step-by-step instructions. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Paul. I'm happy and grateful to meet you. You are the kind of teacher I love. Direct to the point. Even when the English is my second language, I understand clearly. Your video help me to realize my biggest dream, publish my first journal. Yes I did it. Now I have the confidence to keep going. My journal is already in Amazon.
Good evening Mr. Paul Marles. Today I made my first sales out of 120 books published(journals, composition notebooks, recipe journals, Christmas Coloring books and Camping journals. And the niches are growing). 3 to be more precise. This is my first comment on your youtube channel and I have waited for this since October 14, because that was the date when I launched my first journal. A simple blue cover and a lined interior. I learned from you how to do it and since then I am following you and learned many good things about publishing on KDP. So, please keep up the good work because someone like me(from Romania) is taking good advantage of all of the information you put out here on your channel. A big big thank you and all of your work it is like you are saying "Really much appreciated". 😁😁😁
@attila szantovan ..congrats man...its been a month and a half for me..I published 9 books tills now. This month I made 2 sales. Am happy to see the results though its not too much. But still it motivates me Hope you find success too and get as much sales.
Hi Paul, I like your videos the best. You are no-nonsense and so knowledgeable. Other people's videos I have seen I end up shutting off if they are annoyingly trying to entertain us.
Thank you Paul for being the Kdp Captain without a doubt! Striking cover and as always, with such solid, concise instructions. Happy to support your channel and thanks for reliable resources and for making your templates available for purchase. Looking forward to the next video.
@@paulmarles @Paul Marles Can you please get back with me. I have a question but I don't want everyone knowing my Pen names for my KDP books. Thank you! I sent you a message on Facebook but it is not under this name.
Hi Paul, thank you for being my mentor and for the thorough explanations provided in the videos, your genuine desire to help others is very much appreciated. 😊❤
Thanks so much, Paul! I have published traditional books, but have been thinking about creating and selling journals. Your teaching methods and templates are extraordinary. You have inspired me!
I'm book designer on fiverr to upload on Kdp and your videos are really helpful, i learned everything from you. Thankyou so much for your kindness and great help for us. May God bless you more :)
Thank you so much Pau! Iam learning so much from you even I didn't have any sales for now but I'm being positive and hoping I will do some sales someday 🙏 I'm trying to post different topics and trying my best ! actually I'm even doing it for fun and because I'm learning new skills so it's so easy to listen to you and learn from you keep going surprising us 💕🙌
Appreciate very much & thank you for another very useful video. I am sure you will be genuinely happy when we achieve our goals after following your videos,
I found it so easy to follow the steps for duotone Canva tutorial , and thank you so much for the free interior given for the same..but honestly I would like to create them personally by your teachings step by step.. in affinity designer.
Found your channel and just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos and thank for for sharing with us I've just done my first notebook with my own drawing on I would of never imagined that I would be doing this I've given myself a year on learning all about creating my own little business and I subscribe to you and I'm looking forward to many more videos to come. God bless you 😊
Thank you so much Paul! I learned a lot from watching your videos and truly appreciate you doing them for us and now letting use this recipe template for free. 😀 You are paying it forward in a big way. 😊
Great video as always and I really like the modern cover design! Looks like you’ve gotten some sun 😁 it is Summer where you’re at and winter up here in the colonies. 🤣 thanks for all the great tutorials sir.
Hello Paul, thank you always for putting up these videos, you're a great teacher! I wanted to ask if you'd recommend having a colored interior vs the black/white if wanting to add more value to my product. Thank you!
Another brilliant video again. I am not signed up yet to Amazon as I think you need to register as self employed first, but I want to get started with the book covers and content. Are you allowed to include the Amazon template to use in Canva so I can drag it in and start properly as currently I am just using one page in Canva. cheers
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I have been struggling a bit with the interior. May you explain how do you set up/calculate the page for right/left, please? I usually use just one calculation for both page, try to set them in the middle as much as possible and hope they don't look too weird. Thank you.
I use templates for the margins and put my content in the centre of the box created by the margins. These templates are actually in my Gumroad shop and are available for free.
Well done Paul, many thanks for the great tutorial videos and the free downloads, greatly appreciated. I have made my 1st ebook ( courtesy of your tutorials ) and it's 'In Review' as we speak. Hopefully it gets approved and goes live. Fingers crossed. Many thanks again. You are a great educator for this industry. Cheers.....PB
Paul, thank you so much for all the wonderful free information you share. I am just getting started so everything you share is so important for me. I think I have found a niche and am so very excited but not sure where to start because I can't find any others that have been made. I'm sure I am not the 1st person that has thought of it, but I am not finding it. Where is the best place for me to look? I have googled it and gone on Amazon, but I guess I am just not putting in the correct keywords. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Hi Paul, Do you happen to have a video on settiing up Your Gumroad Store? Or where to find that how to info. I love your videos so much, because I actually understand the steps you provide so I can accomplish and proceed on. You are just wonderful! Warmly , Lois Lane
Amazon will tell you on the KDP platform after you've uploaded the cover and interior. As a guide to pricing I just look at what the other books that are selling well in my particular niche are selling for and aim for around that.
Thanks for the video and the recipe journal interiors, it is really nice. It has PNG and SVG right and left. As a newbie I am a bit confused as to how to upload the left and right pages, do I just merge them after modifying and creating more pages?
No, you can use software like Canva, Keynote or Powerpoint. Create all the pages in one document and then save as a pdf file. Take a look at my Book Tutorials playlist. There are many videos where I show creating interiors.
Hi, just a quick question , i read the licensing on canva but im still nervous about using them. I designed a cover using a pro graphics ( I have the pro account) and I changed the graphic using duotone, I added words and two more graphics that are unchanged. Do you think the cover would be legal to sell or do you see a potential problem with my design?
Thank you a lot for your videos! I have a question about the bleed, do we choose bleed or no bleed for the interior only? so if the cover of the book reaches the edge but the interior doesn't we choose no bleed?
Hey Paul! Thanks for all those videos. Massive work! Maybe I missed something so could you tell me one thing? I'd like to create my own interior. Is it possible in Canva? Or should I use another tool to create a PDF file and therefore upload it as a munuscript. Greetings from Poland:)
Have you done a video on how to use Affinity Designer. I searched your playlists and I don't see anything. Would you be willing to do one. Such as how you created that recipe journal in AD. I am very new to the program and some tips would be fantastic. Thanks so much in advance. Happy creating.
Hi Paul, do you know if I can do publishing since I live in Guatemala. I followed all your instructions with success and finished a notebook. But then when I try to register in KDP it says my country is not in the treat (tratado) 😏I can't believe it!!
Another great informative video! I do have a question. I’ve made some of my books in hardcover also. I uploaded them in November and when I look at the listings on Amazon it says in stock soon but my paperback don’t say that. Do you know why the hardcovers say that?
Paul: CONGRATULATIONS on your ability to explain, Easy + Transparent + Honest. You transmit!!! That is the important thing. 😀..🙏🙏 Thank you + thank you + thank you 💖💖💖
Thank you very much. 🙂
@@paulmarles Hey !!! Can you please tell me the measurements for interior of this cover if i want to make this separately in canva ??
Btw lots of blessings and love from 🇮🇳
Thank you for this, Paul. Started here when you posted this and still making a little bit of money in 2024

Why difficulty? Just turn the text vertically and shrink it down.

Gumroad has a page called University which you can find on its home page which has good tutorials.
Thank you Paul for all the guidance. I was wondering how do you price these items... how do you know the cost for printing etc...
Amazon will tell you on the KDP platform after you've uploaded the cover and interior. As a guide to pricing I just look at what the other books that are selling well in my particular niche are selling for and aim for around that.
Yeah, 100k subs!😊
Thank you.
Thanks, it is very usefull 👍
Thank you so much

Hi, just a quick question , i read the licensing on canva but im still nervous about using them. I designed a cover using a pro graphics ( I have the pro account) and I changed the graphic using duotone, I added words and two more graphics that are unchanged. Do you think the cover would be legal to sell or do you see a potential problem with my design?
What aspect are you particularly worried about?
Thank you so much for this! On making changes to the free interior, does the change on one populate to the rest of the 120 pages?
No, it doesn't.
Thank you, Paul.
You're welcome.
Thank you a lot for your videos! I have a question about the bleed, do we choose bleed or no bleed for the interior only? so if the cover of the book reaches the edge but the interior doesn't we choose no bleed?
Bleed and no bleed only refers to the interior.
Thanks for the tutorial Paul, can someone upload the PDF file without modifications and be safe on Amazon?
Hey Paul! Thanks for all those videos. Massive work!
Maybe I missed something so could you tell me one thing? I'd like to create my own interior. Is it possible in Canva? Or should I use another tool to create a PDF file and therefore upload it as a munuscript.
Greetings from Poland:)
You can create it in Canva. There are lots of other options too.
Have you done a video on how to use Affinity Designer. I searched your playlists and I don't see anything. Would you be willing to do one. Such as how you created that recipe journal in AD. I am very new to the program and some tips would be fantastic. Thanks so much in advance. Happy creating.
I haven't done any sepcific videos on Affinity Designer just videos where I've used Affinity Designer to create something.
Hi Paul, do you know if I can do publishing since I live in Guatemala. I followed all your instructions with success and finished a notebook. But then when I try to register in KDP it says my country is not in the treat (tratado) 😏I can't believe it!!
Thank you captain 😊
What's the difference between left and right page margins?
The inside margins are on different sides.
Another great informative video! I do have a question. I’ve made some of my books in hardcover also. I uploaded them in November and when I look at the listings on Amazon it says in stock soon but my paperback don’t say that. Do you know why the hardcovers say that?
It's probably becasue of the increased demand this time of year. Happens every year.
