Hello! Thanks for the insights. I published a coloring book (with good reviews) long time ago, it has no success because of the SEO I assume, how do your customers find your creations?
@@mamboSG Hi! Well I have a website, however, I taught this would be a good opportunity to do a short book. I am having trouble because each page is different and there are no video from Kat that show me how to do that or I don't know where to look for them.
I followed this and published my first journal within the hour. Then kind of forgot about it. I just checked today, someone bought 200 in one day! Don't give up everyone!!
Many people would've packaged this and sold it as an expensive class. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge freely and generously! You will be abundantly blessed!

@@roguecosmos yes I will try. I have been having sizing problems with canva and book bolt I try to use 8x10 and 6x9 just won't let me approve it. Someone needs to do a video on how to correct size errors. Thank you for your help Up the Sunset .
I subscribed within 2 minutes, 23 seconds of this video... You sparked a lightbulb in my head!! I had an "aha" moment... I can just hug you... Thanks so much!!
The thing I dont get is, do you just make the cover and what is on the inside and then amazon makes however many physical copies for you if someone orders it? Or is it more like when youtubers create merch like t-shirts, they have someone design what it looks like and have to pay for the 50 shirts and hope that people will buy them?
@@Diana72910 Interesting, I'm suprised people would be making videos about this. Not counting those ads that pop up where for a fee the person will tell you their "secret". Since now there will probably be even more people trying this out even if it just earns them a 100 dollars a month that is still 100 dollars more than they would have had with a minimal amount of effort. Unless what they hope is to build a youtube channel that can make them even more money by getting sponsors.
Oh my gosh.. you may have just opened up Pandora's Box for me. I've always gotten Hella compliments on my canva skills.... now I can make some money with something I really enjoy doing. Thank you so much!!
I am so happy you made this video because I have been wanting to make a calendar or a planner but I didn’t know how. My daughter came across your video and she knows how I like to color, so now I can make a coloring book. Thank God for you. Have a blessed day.
I always wanted to create a journal and now I just might. SIDE NOTE: I appreciate the that you actually have info in your "about" section so as a 1st time watcher it was easy for me to read and decide to subscribe...SUBSCRIBE
Just wanted you to know, I freaked out when I saw this video, and showed my husband, who also freaked out. He'd already used Canva for other work projects, and our daughter is an artist studying digital design, so making the annual purchase was a no-brainer. But we also immediately purchased an annual membership of Book Bolt and started creating books to list via KDP. In the last week we've put together over 20 books using your advice and are eagerly waiting for them to go live on Amazon. Even if we don't sell a dang thing, it's been so fun and I am grateful to you for bringing these programs to my attention. Thank you for sharing what you learn. Best sub I ever did!
@@jennkindle I absolutely will! Thanks again for sharing info and cultivating this helpful community. I keeping seeing your followers answer each other's questions and it's so nice to see this many people being generous with their time, eager for all of us to succeed.
I'm always surprised that people will buy anything. Even if there's like 500 things in the market someone's gonna buy it. I have to ingrain that into my brain.
I pray much success for you. Not everyone wants to help others. Thank you for this, I needed to get income for myself. Thank you. I will follow forever 😊
I own a publishing company, i just started it. You just gave me an idea to bring more traffic and customers to my website! This is SO on brand for me! Thank you!
Thank you for this! I really hope you do a series about publishing books if at possible! I am a mother who has went through a loss of a child. I've been wanting to create content for us and our families for such a long time. I just didn't know how to! Since stillbirth/infant loss/miscarriage is still a taboo subject to talk about and it still carries a stigma around it. I want to break the ice and make it something that we can talk about! And for the parents and families to be able to write down their feelings as they go through the process of grief. Thank you do much for this! You've given me a creative outlet to put all of my pain as well as love into! Live your channel btw! Thank you for all of your tips. Will be watching the self publish video right after this! Many blessings to you!♡♡
Hi Kat! I wanted to give you public kudos! I spoke with you a few weeks ago on the Callmeapp and Zoom b/c I had some difficulty getting my book published. I was a bit technologically challenged as well. You were so very patient and kind. I also think it's wonderful how you share the wealth and knowledge. Thank you so much! I now have multiple books published!
I was working on regular content books when I ran across your channel maybe a year ago. I needed some successes to celebrate along the journey and found low content journals were perfect. I published 3 journals in 2 months. It gave me that boost to keep working and I just finished my first regular content book.Thanks!!
Hi The Williams, congratulations on publishing your books. I would like to check them out, do you have a link that I can use directly or maybe just the title of your books.
Golden info once again Kat!! I was fortunate to be able to retain my job during the pandemic, though less hours, but I’ve thankfully been able to start freelancing & even started a TH-cam channel on online money & personal finance and it’s GROWING! Thanks for the great content and remember bois NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR GOAL!
Hi Kat, I was just praying to God saying I need additional supplemental income that I can do from home & your video was in my feed when I opened TH-cam. I’ve been working a part time job with Amazon Flex for almost 2 yrs bcuz I want to be credit card & car note debt free in the next few months. I will definitely be continuing to look at your video & have subscribed to your channel. This is definitely confirmation!
A great idea and a great tutorial, much appreciated! However, I would like to point out at 13:00 : It's a password book, then the first page contains all personal information, 'in case they lose it'. So, in case they lose it, the one who finds it will have access to all personal details and all passwords...it will be a conman's wet dream..
As a creator thats not their problem. They focus on selling it. A thief will figure out how to steal or con either way, so its not point of living in fear. The book's owner is responsible for whomever they allow to get into their stuff. I understand what you're saying on an empathic level but thats just an excuse or minor obstacle not to create it. And ultimalely, thats a fear that can stop the creator from making money. Just giving you a different perspective. NOW, if this was a different type of set up where one could actually add to the physical book, I would suggest adding a lock and key to it and the key would be detached so the owner could place it wherever the choose. Therefore, making the process slighltly more difficult for the idiot that wants to snoop.
THANK YOU, KAT! For me, Low Content will make it easier for this old gal to learn about producing online, in a fun way to start a successful online home-business, that can be done remotely without much of a start-up cost! Then I can move on to more complicated ventures like TeeShirts, Children’s Books & Character Voice-Overs. Weeeee!
I have design and illustrating skills, I can totally do this! What's to loose? I can just give it a try, the book just has to be made and then let it sit there and wait. Hell, I make covers, logos, social media content, for me and my friends, for free! Why not try cash in for a change? You are a lifesaver, Kat, thanks for this insightful video!
This is awesome! I've been in search of a more low maintenance side hustle and this is way calmer than some of the other ones I was focused on. Thanks for sharing.
I only recently learned about no content books, as I'm just starting out with self-publishing. But you're the first to point out using variations to diversify your offerings and attract more income. That's huuuuuge. Thank you!
Took me more than an hour, you kinda skipped over how to format the cover to be side by side, but I figured it out finally and have officially put up my first content, its under review now! Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions, abundance will flow to you as easily as you have flowed this info, also, I think you are beautiful in addition to being smart!
I'm going to finish watching this later but I had this idea and im glad I stumbled on this. I want to design my own coloringbook but wasn't sure how I was going to publish it.. -time to start drawing-
I can't believe I watched this over a year ago, told others about it, and just tried it myself. I tried to create at least one book and publish while in the 3 day Book Bolt trial period. Could not get that Manuscript and Cover off my laptop to be uploaded after several attempts. Meanwhile, the folks at Book Bolt sent a reminder that my Trial Period was just about up and would start to be charged. That's what brought me back to your video. I thought, hmm, Kat made it look so simple... Anyway, I'll give it another try. Thanks Kat.
Yeees just got my journal approved on KDP today! It took 2 attempts due to errors but Finally!! You and a few others showed me this was possible!! THANNNK YOU...time to make more books and wait for my sales to eventually come in!! ☺ 🙏
I just found you and I want to thank you for your calm, clear, and detailed instructions. Most other creators are freaking out and spend 30 minutes creating a word salad that hurts my brain and all of their thumbnails make them look like even they are surprised by the nonsense they're spewing. Thank you and I've subscribed!
Could you do a video explaining a little bit more in depth on how you format your pages on canva to create these interior and exterior pages?? (Ex: do you preselect a page type or create your own, how do you make sure it’s the correct format, ect.)
Does anyone know what we do once we’ve chosen the interior pages on bookbolt? Because she skips and goes directly to canva and finishes the book so I’m not sure if she’s telling us we need to do the same or if she missed something? I dont know how I’m supposed to save what I’ve chosen and make it complete in bookbolt to be able to send to kdp 🤦🏽♀️
Omg ive been trying to find your video....I thought I saved it and I couldn't find it. Lawd I spent 30 mins looking for you. Thank you so much because if you only knew how much I needed this video and how much I appreciate you for this video. Praying much continued success for you.
Kat, a personal thank you because I have been wanting to start a small business for a very long time and did not know where to start. Thank you for helping me take my first step. Thank you for the discount code as well, makes it all that much more worthwhile. God bless you.
I lost my job as an air hostess some months back and I decided to try something else, what I have found most profitable so far is Options trading and forex because with these two I make close to $ 20k monthly it's great and I'm still trying out other sources
Sorry to loosing your job but then you have found another lucrative way, which is one thing with the universe always creates endless opportunities. Cheers to you but then how can a noob get into it
@Ching Dubay Well well, I don't pretend to be a great trader of some sort but I am generating good weekly ROi from it. This is thanks to Mr Benjamin H. Ravies, a pro who happens to be the man behind my success in this
I use different modes of execution in the market for mine in the market, sometimes trading gets overwhelming but then it still my most lucrative form of investment. You just have to enjoy the thrill of it made $38k in a two day swing trade one time
Kat, I recently just quit my 9-5 teaching job because I just could not do it anymore it was harming my mental health and I am dead broke, I don’t know how I’m gonna pay my bills or fix my car but I’m praying to God this idea you shared with us is going to work for me to build some income. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I literally kept this video open as I did the process (granted it took me a long time since it was my first time) and I finally did it! I'm so excited! I love my design! this was so fun- thank you for all your hard work, I love your videos.
@@mslashay35 no, BUT I also haven't taken the time to advertise it yet. I wanted to wait to get my author copy (they cost like $2) so that I could post the actual book. once I saw it, I realized I'd like to adjust some if the details. but it's a beautiful notebook still- I love it. just have to advertise and make some sales!
@@VersastyleV25 i think I did mine a weird way- like I think I downloaded the lined papers from book bolt and then I uploaded the cover (from canva) and the filler pages to my kdp platform as separate files. this was a while ago, so if you still can't figure it out, let me know and I will actually look at it.
I somehow stumbled across this video. I never knew anything about making money from notebooks. Omg wow I’m definitely going to do this!! Seems easy everything else seems so complicated.🙏🏾
Omg! I really enjoyed doing this. It was easy and fun trying to come up with a design someone like me would buy. I just created my first one and I can't wait to make many different kinds of journals and Journaling tools. I hope I can make money as well. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Coffee Love, I hope you can start selling them soon. It seems there would be a lot of competition in doing something like this and you would have to have something that is unique and/or figure out what people want which seems to change all the time. I hope you will let us know how it works out.
First off, you look like Katie Rost! Secondly, this concept is such a life saver. The information that you provided is so helpful! Thank you, for not gatekeeping!
I made my first notebook for sale on Amazon today thanks to Kat. It took about 2.5 hours after setting up all the accounts and playing around with designs. It was actually pleasurable. I'm going to buy it for myself to check out the quality when it goes online. The trickiest part is pricing it!
I've been thinking of writing a book for a long time, and I still plan to do so. But this is pretty amazing, and I'm already thinking of some pretty unique low-content books I could create. Kudos to you for just straight giving your viewers the whole game! I'm definitely going to delve into this. Thank you!
You took every word, sentence for sentence, out of my mouth. An amazing 😮 video for a creative writer to see. Get cracking, man, cuz I know what you are feeling!
After researching this idea, I have discovered this is not the way for me to go. Just a personal choice and not a reflection upon you Kat Theo. You did however inspire me to create an account with Kindle Direct Publishing - many thanks for that. I actually like what you share❤️❤️❤️

@@lynjj7976 try 6.125 x 9.25
@@roguecosmos yes I will try. I have been having sizing problems with canva and book bolt I try to use 8x10 and 6x9 just won't let me approve it. Someone needs to do a video on how to correct size errors. Thank you for your help Up the Sunset .
Congratss. I'm happy for you
Hey wanted to know what happens after you create the cover where is saved? Was following until you switch to canva lol
I subscribed within 2 minutes, 23 seconds of this video... You sparked a lightbulb in my head!! I had an "aha" moment... I can just hug you... Thanks so much!!
Same for me! That light is bright.
A TikTok video let me to look this up and I can't believe this is an acutal thing. Thank you for sharing!
Same. I had no idea this was a thing.
This is a great side hustle that a lot of people are making money from. It's all about taking action!
Great video indeed... 👍
Is this a paid version of book bolt?
The thing I dont get is, do you just make the cover and what is on the inside and then amazon makes however many physical copies for you if someone orders it? Or is it more like when youtubers create merch like t-shirts, they have someone design what it looks like and have to pay for the 50 shirts and hope that people will buy them?
@@dcworld4349 yes to the first one, Amazon only makes the book only when it’s ordered
@@Diana72910 Interesting, I'm suprised people would be making videos about this. Not counting those ads that pop up where for a fee the person will tell you their "secret". Since now there will probably be even more people trying this out even if it just earns them a 100 dollars a month that is still 100 dollars more than they would have had with a minimal amount of effort. Unless what they hope is to build a youtube channel that can make them even more money by getting sponsors.
Agree
Oh my gosh.. you may have just opened up Pandora's Box for me. I've always gotten Hella compliments on my canva skills.... now I can make some money with something I really enjoy doing. Thank you so much!!
Good luck
I use Canva as well to make my books!!
@@ojjamrock5541 I use it for every thing.. flyers.. social media posts.. labels.. it's so fun
@@ldenirg I would love to see your Canva skills. Always looking to learn.
Which program is she using? Placeit?
I am so happy you made this video because I have been wanting to make a calendar or a planner but I didn’t know how. My daughter came across your video and she knows how I like to color, so now I can make a coloring book. Thank God for you. Have a blessed day.
I'm so glad! Happy to help! Good luck with the planner
I always wanted to create a journal and now I just might.

Just wanted you to know, I freaked out when I saw this video, and showed my husband, who also freaked out. He'd already used Canva for other work projects, and our daughter is an artist studying digital design, so making the annual purchase was a no-brainer. But we also immediately purchased an annual membership of Book Bolt and started creating books to list via KDP. In the last week we've put together over 20 books using your advice and are eagerly waiting for them to go live on Amazon. Even if we don't sell a dang thing, it's been so fun and I am grateful to you for bringing these programs to my attention. Thank you for sharing what you learn. Best sub I ever did!
It'd be good for you to publish an update once you see the results.
@@jennkindle I absolutely will! Thanks again for sharing info and cultivating this helpful community. I keeping seeing your followers answer each other's questions and it's so nice to see this many people being generous with their time, eager for all of us to succeed.
I would also love to see how you're books are doing?
Update? 🙏
Let’s hear the update!!!
I'm always surprised that people will buy anything. Even if there's like 500 things in the market someone's gonna buy it. I have to ingrain that into my brain.
Same, as a pessimist working this to my mind is so hard
That's so encouraging for you to say at this time. I needed it.
And @kattheo is awesome!
yes i will literally buy things because they're pretty!!
I published a book and gave zero sales in more than 6 months. How come?
@@wanderingambience799 your cover most likely sucks, but many other reasons. Keep publishing and keep learning
I pray much success for you. Not everyone wants to help others. Thank you for this, I needed to get income for myself. Thank you. I will follow forever 😊
I own a publishing company, i just started it. You just gave me an idea to bring more traffic and customers to my website! This is SO on brand for me! Thank you!
Hi Thee Khàli LaBré, I'd like to check out your website. Could you send me the link?
Thank you Kat! You’ve taught me more in 21 mins than any course gurus are selling
Thank you for this! I really hope you do a series about publishing books if at possible!
I am a mother who has went through a loss of a child. I've been wanting to create content for us and our families for such a long time. I just didn't know how to! Since stillbirth/infant loss/miscarriage is still a taboo subject to talk about and it still carries a stigma around it. I want to break the ice and make it something that we can talk about! And for the parents and families to be able to write down their feelings as they go through the process of grief. Thank you do much for this! You've given me a creative outlet to put all of my pain as well as love into! Live your channel btw! Thank you for all of your tips. Will be watching the self publish video right after this! Many blessings to you!♡♡
Hi Kat! I wanted to give you public kudos! I spoke with you a few weeks ago on the Callmeapp and Zoom b/c I had some difficulty getting my book published. I was a bit technologically challenged as well. You were so very patient and kind. I also think it's wonderful how you share the wealth and knowledge. Thank you so much! I now have multiple books published!
Congratulations. It’s a shame she didn’t respond.
Hi do you know if she will privately tutor someone on Side Hustles or does a TH-cam or Facebook Live?
Thats amazing to hear! Congratulations! Out of your experience - do people actually buy them? Is it possible to make money?
Theeeee first side hustle I can actually do 😂 Thank you!
I was working on regular content books when I ran across your channel maybe a year ago. I needed some successes to celebrate along the journey and found low content journals were perfect. I published 3 journals in 2 months. It gave me that boost to keep working and I just finished my first regular content book.Thanks!!
How do you get paid? Is is it from Amazon or Book Bolt and do they send you a check or put in your account?
@@lylavarela4966 Hi Layla, the pay is from Amazon, you select the mode of payment and the account you want it sent to.
Hi The Williams, congratulations on publishing your books. I would like to check them out, do you have a link that I can use directly or maybe just the title of your books.
Golden info once again Kat!! I was fortunate to be able to retain my job during the pandemic, though less hours, but I’ve thankfully been able to start freelancing & even started a TH-cam channel on online money & personal finance and it’s GROWING! Thanks for the great content and remember bois NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR GOAL!
Omgoodness! I’ve been wanting to design journals and diy books and this is GOLD. Thank you sister!
Can I just say....I LOVE YOU! This is amazing 😄 I always felt limited publishing a book but it seems so simple now. Thank you so much!
Hi Kat, I was just praying to God saying I need additional supplemental income that I can do from home & your video was in my feed when I opened TH-cam. I’ve been working a part time job with Amazon Flex for almost 2 yrs bcuz I want to be credit card & car note debt free in the next few months. I will definitely be continuing to look at your video & have subscribed to your channel. This is definitely confirmation!
A great idea and a great tutorial, much appreciated! However, I would like to point out at 13:00 : It's a password book, then the first page contains all personal information, 'in case they lose it'. So, in case they lose it, the one who finds it will have access to all personal details and all passwords...it will be a conman's wet dream..
EXACTLY what I was thinking
Cool vid, but people should really use a program like LastPass for their passwords. I like the cover design and title tho.
As a creator thats not their problem. They focus on selling it. A thief will figure out how to steal or con either way, so its not point of living in fear. The book's owner is responsible for whomever they allow to get into their stuff. I understand what you're saying on an empathic level but thats just an excuse or minor obstacle not to create it. And ultimalely, thats a fear that can stop the creator from making money. Just giving you a different perspective. NOW, if this was a different type of set up where one could actually add to the physical book, I would suggest adding a lock and key to it and the key would be detached so the owner could place it wherever the choose. Therefore, making the process slighltly more difficult for the idiot that wants to snoop.
Signed up and am so excited for this outlet for creativity! I uploaded my journal today on KDP. Thank you!!!
How much does it cost to join bookbolt?
Please what is KDP?
THANK YOU, KAT!
For me, Low Content will make it easier for this old gal to learn about producing online, in a fun way to start a successful online home-business, that can be done remotely without much of a start-up cost!
Then I can move on to more complicated ventures like TeeShirts, Children’s Books & Character Voice-Overs. Weeeee!
I have design and illustrating skills, I can totally do this! What's to loose? I can just give it a try, the book just has to be made and then let it sit there and wait. Hell, I make covers, logos, social media content, for me and my friends, for free! Why not try cash in for a change?
You are a lifesaver, Kat, thanks for this insightful video!
This is awesome! I've been in search of a more low maintenance side hustle and this is way calmer than some of the other ones I was focused on. Thanks for sharing.
I only recently learned about no content books, as I'm just starting out with self-publishing. But you're the first to point out using variations to diversify your offerings and attract more income. That's huuuuuge. Thank you!
Yess! I said the same thing! 😆 Im a small publisher and wanted to offer more on my website.
This is basically a promotional video for bookbolt. Way to go!
Took me more than an hour, you kinda skipped over how to format the cover to be side by side, but I figured it out finally and have officially put up my first content, its under review now!
Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions, abundance will flow to you as easily as you have flowed this info, also, I think you are beautiful in addition to being smart!
Kat this is confirmation for me I am working on a Financial Journal! Thank you for sharing! Love this
Really enjoy your content! Continue to grow and prosper, we are all beneficiaries.
I'm going to finish watching this later but I had this idea and im glad I stumbled on this. I want to design my own coloringbook but wasn't sure how I was going to publish it.. -time to start drawing-
Lolllll @ the time to draw
I can't believe I watched this over a year ago, told others about it, and just tried it myself. I tried to create at least one book and publish while in the 3 day Book Bolt trial period. Could not get that Manuscript and Cover off my laptop to be uploaded after several attempts. Meanwhile, the folks at Book Bolt sent a reminder that my Trial Period was just about up and would start to be charged. That's what brought me back to your video. I thought, hmm, Kat made it look so simple... Anyway, I'll give it another try. Thanks Kat.
Don’t give up, it’s pretty simple ❤️
Wishing you a bright and colorful future in which all your dreams come true.
Thank you, I published my first book today. I am grateful for the information that you provided.
Any updates how this is going after maybe 30days ?
Hi, this is the first video I see of you and I just wanted to say: I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU
Yeees just got my journal approved on KDP today! It took 2 attempts due to errors but Finally!! You and a few others showed me this was possible!! THANNNK YOU...time to make more books and wait for my sales to eventually come in!! ☺ 🙏
Omg! Thank you soooo much for this I've done 2 books so far! I am so grateful for your time and knowledge💖. Many blessings to you.
I just found you and I want to thank you for your calm, clear, and detailed instructions. Most other creators are freaking out and spend 30 minutes creating a word salad that hurts my brain and all of their thumbnails make them look like even they are surprised by the nonsense they're spewing. Thank you and I've subscribed!
😂🤣😂🤣 That was Soo funny!!
Could you do a video explaining a little bit more in depth on how you format your pages on canva to create these interior and exterior pages?? (Ex: do you preselect a page type or create your own, how do you make sure it’s the correct format, ect.)
Did you figure it out?
Does anyone know what we do once we’ve chosen the interior pages on bookbolt? Because she skips and goes directly to canva and finishes the book so I’m not sure if she’s telling us we need to do the same or if she missed something? I dont know how I’m supposed to save what I’ve chosen and make it complete in bookbolt to be able to send to kdp 🤦🏽♀️
@@lyriq04 You have to save the interior pages as a PDF, then upload it on KDP as a separate file under the manuscript upload option
I just subscribed. You’re amazing. I can’t wait to get started making my art into books.
This was such a good video! I loved that you walked us through the whole process. You were very thorough. I’m so excited to try it! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
@@KatTheo I don't understand ma'am. Please make me to understand. How am i going to make my end readers do the writing?
You’ve inspired me to create my book I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Many thanks to you.
I will not sleep until this book is finished thank you for this wisdom!
Let me know how this works out for you, I'm currently doing the same thing lol
How did it go?
Omg ive been trying to find your video....I thought I saved it and I couldn't find it. Lawd I spent 30 mins looking for you. Thank you so much because if you only knew how much I needed this video and how much I appreciate you for this video. Praying much continued success for you.
*I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things , don’t get tempted*
Kat, a personal thank you because I have been wanting to start a small business for a very long time and did not know where to start. Thank you for helping me take my first step. Thank you for the discount code as well, makes it all that much more worthwhile. God bless you.
I lost my job as an air hostess some months back and I decided to try something else, what I have found most profitable so far is Options trading and forex because with these two I make close to $ 20k monthly it's great and I'm still trying out other sources
Sorry to loosing your job but then you have found another lucrative way, which is one thing with the universe always creates endless opportunities. Cheers to you but then how can a noob get into it
@Ching Dubay Well well, I don't pretend to be a great trader of some sort but I am generating good weekly ROi from it. This is thanks to Mr Benjamin H. Ravies, a pro who happens to be the man behind my success in this
Benjamin ravies(a)Gmai
Lcom...Is he taking commissions for trades?
Yes he is
I use different modes of execution in the market for mine in the market, sometimes trading gets overwhelming but then it still my most lucrative form of investment. You just have to enjoy the thrill of it made $38k in a two day swing trade one time
@@Lilyoregon Great thanks and God bless, this will go a long way and I will tell my friends also about it.
Thank You So Much for Introducing me to KDP !
Got My First Sale Today !
Heavily Appreciated 😇🙏🏻
Kat, I recently just quit my 9-5 teaching job because I just could not do it anymore it was harming my mental health and I am dead broke, I don’t know how I’m gonna pay my bills or fix my car but I’m praying to God this idea you shared with us is going to work for me to build some income. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You got this boo. Time to get creative 🧡
@@souluver18 thank you love, for encouraging me! ❤️
Thanks Kat - I just followed this to the letter to get my first book completed and on amazon! really helpful and clear video - cheers!
Congratulations Tilly! What type of book did you publish?
I literally kept this video open as I did the process (granted it took me a long time since it was my first time) and I finally did it! I'm so excited! I love my design! this was so fun- thank you for all your hard work, I love your videos.
Fantastic! So proud of you!!
Have you sold any?
How did you do the inside? She didnt show the step by step on it
@@mslashay35 no, BUT I also haven't taken the time to advertise it yet. I wanted to wait to get my author copy (they cost like $2) so that I could post the actual book. once I saw it, I realized I'd like to adjust some if the details. but it's a beautiful notebook still- I love it. just have to advertise and make some sales!
@@VersastyleV25 i think I did mine a weird way- like I think I downloaded the lined papers from book bolt and then I uploaded the cover (from canva) and the filler pages to my kdp platform as separate files. this was a while ago, so if you still can't figure it out, let me know and I will actually look at it.
I am supposed to focus on your content.But Kat its your voice for me. I so much like the tone
I somehow stumbled across this video. I never knew anything about making money from notebooks. Omg wow I’m definitely going to do this!! Seems easy everything else seems so complicated.🙏🏾
Serious game changer. This is something I can start tonight!
Omg! I really enjoyed doing this. It was easy and fun trying to come up with a design someone like me would buy. I just created my first one and I can't wait to make many different kinds of journals and Journaling tools. I hope I can make money as well. Thank you so much for sharing!!
In a week in and have created dozens. It’s fun but I’m looking for ways to generate traction to my journals. No sales yet.
Coffee Love, I hope you can start selling them soon. It seems there would be a lot of competition in doing something like this and you would have to have something that is unique and/or figure out what people want which seems to change all the time. I hope you will let us know how it works out.
Have you had any luck with sales? If so any tips? I don’t want to keep paying monthly if I won’t get any sales. Idk what I’m doing wrong
please update on sales
Any sales yet? Would love to hear an update
THANK YOU SO MUCH K.T.!!!
YOU LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE....LOVE YA QUEEN! 👑
I love it! I'm going do it, thanks for all the information you share and the wisdom.
I'll try this out to make my own notebooks and coloring books.
This was so helpful and detailed. I never knew how easy it was to crested a book and sale it on Amazon. Definitely going to create one. Thanks hun 💕
First off, you look like Katie Rost!
Secondly, this concept is such a life saver. The information that you provided is so helpful! Thank you, for not gatekeeping!
I made my first notebook for sale on Amazon today thanks to Kat. It took about 2.5 hours after setting up all the accounts and playing around with designs. It was actually pleasurable. I'm going to buy it for myself to check out the quality when it goes online. The trickiest part is pricing it!
Have you actually sold any of the books ❓
How many books have you sold so far❓
@@prissymcc what do you expect?? It's only been on Amazon for 1 DAY since I posted my message and made it. Give it a chance.

Yo, this may be the easiest side hustle ever! I am definitely going to give this a try. You are a boss. And, you are beautiful! Thank you gorgeous.
I've been thinking of writing a book for a long time, and I still plan to do so. But this is pretty amazing, and I'm already thinking of some pretty unique low-content books I could create. Kudos to you for just straight giving your viewers the whole game! I'm definitely going to delve into this. Thank you!
You took every word, sentence for sentence, out of my mouth. An amazing 😮 video for a creative writer to see. Get cracking, man, cuz I know what you are feeling!
Kat awesome job explaining the step by step process - thank you
After researching this idea, I have discovered this is not the way for me to go. Just a personal choice and not a reflection upon you Kat Theo. You did however inspire me to create an account with Kindle Direct Publishing - many thanks for that. I actually like what you share❤️❤️❤️
This LADY is a polished 💎
Update: I have 3 books live!!! Now I'm Working on an Activity Book. Thankyou so much for your help.💖💖💖💖💖💖
Are they getting a good return on investment?
