Great, very helpful video for a newbie like me. I want to publish a kids book of of songs (own, original songs). It will be in music notation format with the voice and a piano accompaniment. I would also like to offer mp3 backings of the songs as an optional extra. What's the best way to do this, please? Many thanks.
Good luck! If publishing on Amazon then likely best bet is to provide a QR code to a landing page on your website with instructions, info and MP3 download.
Haveibeentrained.com just run content through that. Also don't use any copyrighted terms when generating images using ai, like Disney, marvel, etc etc.
Thank you for sharing this information. I was wondering if you’re going off into different countries don’t you have to pay these or something because it’s in a different country. Or even will you have to pay income tax or something? Thank you for your time.
Best way is to search around the Explore section and see what looks the best from other people. I use pretty straight forward /image coloring page, white background, and then describe the image
Awesome video! Thank you. I have a question about page layout. I’ve handrawn all my design for my new colouring book with a 1cm border around the image. (Every 2nd page I have added a pattern that goes to the edge of the paper, instead of a blank page ) Do I need to add extra to the left of each page for the margin? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺❤️
So for edge-to-edge prining you'd want to set your manuscript up for bleed. Then your 2nd pages would fill the entire page and the bleed area. You coloring page would be placed within a border within the margin settings :)
Hmm I've not seen that before..so you've selected to create a new book, paperback/ebook correct? It should be open to fill in your title, author name, description etc on that first page. Did you select amazon.com as your primary marketplace?
Thanks for the tips. It helps me to start publishing my own coloring books finally 👍🙏Take care and good luck sir👋
can you make a detailed video on "why books are being blocked on kdp ?
Thanks Graig. I learned a lot. Next step is putting it in to action.
You got this!
Very helpful video for beginners! Nice work Craig
Thank you 🤟
Hi Craig. With regards to the Tax questionnaire - Do you know what the equivalent to the TIN is for the UK? Thanks.
I think it was either just your national insurance (nino) or UTR from the government portal 👍

Can you make a video about how do you check the trademarks and copyrights?

@@selfpublishingempire thank you so much 😊
Something about Lulu and smashwords please
can I use the same book size or page size for a children's story book?
Sure, do some research on what the best sellers are doing and what's expected in the niche.
Hello Craig. The part where I am supposed to write my description is inactive. What could be the problem?

@@selfpublishingempire Thank you. The problem was a browser that was not updated.
Hi thanks for the video, can we published a coloring cartoon book created using Canva template, is that any problem with the copyright. Thank you
If just using canva images if recommend against it. Id bring your own images into canva.
What if someone will not need the proof of his book and like to save that proof copy money as well ,will it not get published then?
Proof copy is entirely optional
Hey man, been following your work for a while, how can I contact you privately ?
