You will go down in history as the only youtuber who was brave enough to disclose the most important KDP related intel by demonstrating his actual books. Amazing!!!
Lool I was watching your last 2 videos for the second time because it was so long for your last video and when I finished I got the notification for a new video lol
You are a legend! Thank you for sharing all of this. Easy to follow and VERY insightful. My favorite yt channel. - a beginner self-publishing author from Hungary
I've been watching your content for a while now and am very impressed with the transparency you bring. FYI I just signed up for the Self Publishing Titans Master Class using your link so hopefully you should get a few bob out of it. My way of saying thanks
My niche research rarely goes any further too :) I would normally check some of those top-selling books and see if I can outdesign them in terms of content. Thanks for this video!
Congratulations🎉 you are so helpful and bringing a lot of value. I published few books and they started to move but I didn’t run ads yet. Can you maybe break it down how you run that process in your next video? You are getting success from it and will be very helpful to us 🙏🏼 thank you
I have a maze book that has gotten into the top 300 in its niche multiple times. And that is with no analysis tools. I am not even sure if my keywords are optimized. My only complaint is that the Amazon ads eats up almost all the profit. So that is what I need to optimize.
What category did you use for the listing though? I’m noticing a ton of people putting books under the wrong category just so that way they enter the best sellers list.
Thanks for sharing. For me today this is not possible because of the investment and all the knowledge you have. But hope some say I can do something as good as this.
Amazing video, thanks for being so transparent! I have a question : do you build an email list ? I hear everywhere that it's important. But honestly, it doesn't really excite me to take time to send emails to people, to keep in touch with them, to promote my futures books. Do you think it's really important ?
Regarding the Tiktok marketing, I saw a video yesterday where she made 67k USD on one journal after advertising on Tiktok. Would be nice to know how she did it, tbh.
Wish I could've watched this when I was just starting KDP (esp. the timewasters part) - thank you so much for making and sharing this! The way you use figma is brilliant! - can you use the free version to do the collaborative work?
Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge! I get so excited when I get your video alert, hehe. QUESTION: Can you do a new video on Amazon ads? I haven't been successful so I think I'm doing something wrong.
Hey! Awesome video! What do you think about ai generated art? Can you use it on kdp? Do you own the copyright? What would you write in your copyright section? What would yo do if Amazon reaches out to you and asks for copyright proof?
I can't remember where I read this but it said a company that you must divulge this information, tell them that it was AI generated.. I can't remember what company it said
Thank you for this video. It is a breakthrough for me! Can you recommend an illustrator from the interior? I beg you for a video of the advertising strategy of this book. How you launched it
and that's a real high quality book. I'm courious, do you have in your bookshelf books that have potential to get your amazon account banned? Mistakes made at the beggining of your journey etc?
Hi, Thank you for your great vidéo. I would like to know what is the tool you use to create your mazes and and also the one used into the video to create your how to drap designs please ? Thank you from France 😉
Thank you Chris. When it comes to a coloring book for adults, what's the best way to format the interior coloring items. Should it be full spread or stay within the canva margins?
I just launched my first book and I owe you a big thank you for your content! I was wondering, how many reviews do you think is the minimum before you start really spending on ads? Sorry if you have covered this in a past video, and thanks again!
For me it depends how confident I feel with the book. So these days, all new books I make, I run ads to immediately. But depends on your journey and confidence so far
I have gone ahead and started running ads from pretty much day one 😅 Confidence or delusion? Only time will tell haha I think I remember you saying that you should give a book at least a month before deciding that its a dud. Do I have that right?
@@catherinewestbrooks hard to say until I start running ads to this book. Probably unlikely but I find i can dig out some cheaper clicks from product targeting campaigns which I've had a lot of success with
@ChrisRaydog - Thank you so much for your knowledge sharing videos. I'm new to KDP and I am learning a lot from you. Question: To hire the right illustrator, what specifically to do ask for/look for when hiring someone to create your images and book cover?
You will go down in history as the only youtuber who was brave enough to disclose the most important KDP related intel by demonstrating his actual books. Amazing!!!
Thanks so much!
I was thinking this also!
@@ThisisJo Ditto 👏couldn't have said it better
Couldnt agree more. Most keep it too close to their chest.
Because they are all scammers 😅
If their books even exist, I bet they are already at the very bottom of the Amazon book pool.
Thank you for this mega valuable content! (I'm sorry it just occurred to me that I can support your channel this way!)
Oh wow thank you so much!
@@ChrisRaydog thank you for the helpful videos!!!

This video popped up in my feed ........ I'm so grateful bcuz no one is explaining the how to & LOOK at THIS!!!
Congrats on becoming a best-seller. Always enjoy the videos where you show real-world examples. Thanks for sharing your process.
Most valuable KDP Video on YT! Heads up 🆙
My niche research rarely goes any further too :) I would normally check some of those top-selling books and see if I can outdesign them in terms of content.
Thanks for this video!
Thank you for showing your "behind the scenes" work. Congrats on the success!
Appreciate so very much your balanced view, willingness to share your experience and transparency. Congratulations Sir!!!

Thanks for sharing your experience succeding in amazon KDP!!!! you inspire to new commers like me. Greetings from Chile!
Thanks for sharing!

Great video, thank you... Would you normally have multiple books within a brand/pen name with A+ content before deciding to advertise?
What category did you use for the listing though? I’m noticing a ton of people putting books under the wrong category just so that way they enter the best sellers list.

Fabulous info as usual 😊
Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge! I get so excited when I get your video alert, hehe. QUESTION: Can you do a new video on Amazon ads? I haven't been successful so I think I'm doing something wrong.
So pleased to hear that! I will make more ads video in future for sure as they play a massive role in my book launches.

I can't remember where I read this but it said a company that you must divulge this information, tell them that it was AI generated.. I can't remember what company it said
Also, if it is generated by AI then you created it and thus, possess the rights to it, correct?
correcto amigo correcto!@@ElectraRay21

Thanks, this is very helpful
Very very informative video Chris. Just wanted to know what your current BSR is.
Thanks chris for valuable information , when you make ads in the book launch , do you use auto ads or manual ads and how much do you start in bid ? ❤❤
Where is your free ads course, I cannot find it.
and that's a real high quality book. I'm courious, do you have in your bookshelf books that have potential to get your amazon account banned? Mistakes made at the beggining of your journey etc?
I had some books that I didn't like, no ban worthy, that I unpublished that were from years ago
I'm curious... How does the book perform now?
ur book is attractive. i would like to buy one
Hi, Thank you for your great vidéo. I would like to know what is the tool you use to create your mazes and and also the one used into the video to create your how to drap designs please ?
Thank you from France 😉
These are in the description below. One is hand drawn mazes and the other is instant maze generator. Please check to see which each does first!

What file type did you ask for?
Thank you for sharing! Can you share how much your bids are with your ads?
I think most of that info is in the video I made before this one :)
@@ChrisRaydog I watched that video too. So, even with a competitive niche like “maze books for kids”, you still run ads with a 10-13 cent bid?
@@catherinewestbrooks hard to say until I start running ads to this book. Probably unlikely but I find i can dig out some cheaper clicks from product targeting campaigns which I've had a lot of success with
@@ChrisRaydog Thank you so much! Ads are still trial and error for me so I appreciate the insight!
How much did you pay the artist?
Mid journey is only 10 a month. Must less hassle than a human artist.
Why is it called 5 friends? I see 6 animals everywhere. 😄😂🤣
Yeah we are changing that
