Hi Sean, I have followed your steps and created first two journals. One is live on Amazon and I have already got at least one copy sold. I'm working on a low content book right now. Would you help us all but creating similar step by step colouring book creating video? I'm grateful for all you share.❤
Omg..thank you!!I.This is the first time I am doing this..and I got approved today!!! I did everything exactly the way you explained in the video..I submitted four different styles ,two are approved and still waiting for the other two that is still in review..its guided journals with quotes etc..and I am selling them for $10 to $11 and they published it😊🙏❤
Hi! I am a mother of 3 and I want to start a side hustle to bring extra income. I am overwhelmed with so many videos right now on how to make a lot of stuff in Canva and so far I found your video very concise and informative. I will follow your tutorial and update you of my progress. I just want to say kudos and more power.
AMAZING video. I made a journal today (and submitted both paperback and ebook for publishing) in one sitting, lunch to dinner. THANK YOU! This is going to be my go-to video for the tonnes of journals and books I'm going to create :)
@surfkroq1 it took a while to get published - Amazon asked for a change in the book title. Also, the e-book won't be published, they won't do low content formats in e-book segment. So only the paperback got published. It's been a week and I've sold ONE copy and that was a family member 😊 Next, I must learn about promotions!
I watched and re-watched your video. Then the 3rd time through, I followed along step by step and my very first journal is awaiting approval! It took some time, but that's only because it was my first time. I love how thorough you are with the entire process. Thank you so much! I will be checking out more of your videos for sure!
After watching this month I could finally upload my journals to Amazon KDP after 6 months of trying. Thank you for your video, it helped me a lot. Looking forward to learning more from you
I just created 4 journals that have been approved and live! Thank you for this video showing me how to do it properly! I used my own personal photos for my journals!
@@whunter369 I have gotten a few, but Amazon has my account on hold since July 5th and they haven’t done anything to fix the issue. I am not able to sign in to see my account to give you a clear amount of sales at this time. I do not expect miracles on high volume sales this early in. All my journal covers are original and from my personal photo collection.
@@Bewusstmitherz I have only made a few sales thus far. It’s definitely not a make instant money. I suppose if I was to pay big money for ads my sales would increase, but I am not doing that.
Thanks! Your videos are the best out there, and have continued to inspire and teach me. I really appreciate it and look forward to more. Just finishing journal and puzzle book number 1-2, as I embark on my first non-fiction book. I'm an educator and want to share what I know!
Watching this on TV and phone. I already started with journal making on Amazon and I really enjoyed your tutorial. I learned a lot from you. I actually sold.... Drumroll 🥁.......2 books because my sister was showing support and I was so excited. So to everyone this is an awesome video. 🦋🦋🦋
@@ratnarahim7256 once you've completed your journal the kdp will ask if you want to publish or you can get a proof. Don't hit publish because once you have the proof , you can still make changes to your journal.once you're happy with it then click publish .I hope this help.
@ratnarahim7256 I'm also a 'noob' but I read that you can request an authors edition when submitting to Amazon KDP. I have not published my book (yet) but I'll be getting mine for sure.
@@ratnarahim7256you can either request for an author copy which you pay for, or you can get a free proof instead.If you choose the free proof, they will not publish your book until after you get your proof.The proof you can’t sell and it’ll say that on there, but the author copy you can sell and it’ll look just like what a customer would order.The proof is basically to make sure that the quality is good and everything is correct
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to understand how to set the bleed for the internal pages. Just a quick insight, Canva seems to have updated this to make it easier. If you click on settings from the project page you're working on, there is an option to 'show bleed lines' which saves having to move the ruler lines, and creating seperate boxes. 😊
This tutorial is FANTASTIC. I have been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and this answered all my questions and touched on my issues. Thank you so much!
Money is not meant to control people rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place.
Dude thank you for this video! Your clear step by step approach helped me to create a journal in a few hours and learn this process! Gonna check out your other videos now...
I loved this tuturioral. I finally made my own inside journal pages. I was mostly finding crap on Creative Fabrica. Mine look great now. I made some possibly funny journals. Going to sign up for Pubby this week. I would love more tutorials on making great content, whether it be low, medium, or books!
Thank you for a complete video from soup to nuts.... as they say. I was not only able to complete the design but finish and upload the book as well all following your clear and concise instructions. Very professional and right on the money. All I have to do is make some money now.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been struggling to understand what I've been doing wrong in trying to create my journals, and I finally got one completed by following along with you. 😄
❤Thank you so much for all your help. You don't even know how much I appreciate You and all of your knowledge. Thanks for your honest tutorials. You will be the only one I follow in regards to publishing. Thank you once again.
@@cynthiarobinson1087 I don’t even know how that happened. I’ve had mine up for a year and finally someone bought a bunch! Just motivated me to make another one! Hoping it works out again!
Here uploading my journal. Wish me luck to get approved. I'll tell you soon how it went :) edit: today my journal was accepted and now it is in amazon❤
Great tutorial! Followed the instructions but ran into issues once cover was downloaded and it showed the graphics and text outside of the red line. I changed it a bazillion times, still struggling sadly:(
I made my first two!! Words to Reality: The Affirmation Journal & ABC's Coloring Book. Looking forward to seeing if it sells at all. Thanks for the video!
Your the only person I watched about this stuff!! Thanks for all the help man!! I've created nice things following.. Just need to figure out how to sell..
Thanks for having extremely helpful videos with clear step-by-step instructions! I have been considering selling a cookbook on Amazon for ages, but didn't really think of selling anything like journals or colouring books (something I love doing, so why not make them!), plus I haven't worked in a while due to medical reasons, this could be the perfect way for me to earn an income. I have already created a few journals that I will be putting up on Amazon soon, to see how it goes, while I work on a colouring book (and my cookbook, which is for pets). You are really easy to follow and listen to!
Are you a Canva pro user? because I am not getting the option to resize the margin of the page to 0.375" in (9.6 mm). I appreciate your suggestion or help into it.
@@Priyajeet_90 I have Canva for Education. On mine, It is on the top next to the file button. Did you grab the ruler bars and pull them to where you want them? That is how i sized my margins.
Thank you Sean, with your guidance I was able to publish my 1st guided journal. Is there a tutorial where I can add different options for the book cover that would be available for the same journal?
This video offers the best explanation on how to do it. HOWEVER I am publishing simple bullet journals via Amazon KDP and haven’t made a single dollar so far so….
Thank you for going through the entire process step by step. So many times people leave out key steps... this was a nice refreshing change. Thank you for being so straightforward.
could you do a video on how to use fiverr and go through the whole process. that would be very interesting. The whole process probably take a few days but you could tape a bit each day and then put it together. I think many would be interested in this. Thanks again for all your amazing videos.
Hi there. I'm not seeing what you are showing at 11:02 (moving the margins) when I'm looking at my canva screen. It's just showing a blank page with no ruler at the top or sides. What am I missing?
To turn on the ruler in Canva, follow these steps: 1. Open Canva: Go to Canva and open the design you are working on. 2. Access the File Menu: On the top-left corner of the Canva interface, click on the “File” menu. 3. Show Rulers and Guides: In the dropdown menu, find and click on the option that says “Show rulers and guides.”
I will be honest I never thought of making a journal, I have a KDP account, but only ever thought it was only for books only. Well I have some Journal name Ideas, I been floating around. will see how it does.
Hello I just discovered your video and I wanted to explain my problem to you. I created a 50-page e-book with Canva, which took a lot of time and effort to get a neat layout. However, when it came time to publish to Amazon KDP, I discovered that PDF was not supported. I tried to convert my file to MOBI and EPUB, but the result absolutely does not respect the layout I had designed, which is really frustrating. Do you have any tips or solutions to help me solve this problem and successfully publish my eBook on KDP while maintaining the quality of my layout? Thank you very much for your help!
I'm confused about deleting the template before we download the final artwork. When you say delete the template, what are we clicking on to delete the template?
Position on the top will show you all the layers he is referring to the instructions he added on the 1st layer. You can delete previous layers by going to position at the top of the page.
Maybe someone could help ...i opened the template right, i click copy but i cant paste it into the page. How can i fix this? I have an asus if that helps
Sean, Thank You for posting this video. I try to learn something to help advance my skills every day. Today, you showed me a few things I could do in Canva that I was not aware of. Thank you for that! Also, a massive "Thank You" for the entire video as it has renewed my drive to get my KDP journey started. I am hoping that by the time I watch your next video, I will have uploaded my first journal into the KDP space.
thank you this is a no BS sharing a lot of you-tuber trying to get attention and fool people you are different thank you for sharing your knowledge. all the best!!
Hi Sean, I wanted to give whoever is reading this a heads up. I’ve been publishing KDP books on Amazon and have had some success. I recently found my books, as well as other books, being sold on TikTok Shops with the price marked up higher. I’m pretty sure what they are doing is buying the books on Amazon, which is cheaper, and then reselling them on TikTok shops at a higher price. Because of this, I will no longer be selling any books on Amazon and have unpublished my books, which broke my heart. I think you should do a video about this and let other authors know what’s going on with TikTok shops. This is a major problem and I don’t think a lot of authors are aware. Thank you.
So someone was buying your books? That’s good. Why do you care if they are reselling them. If you were fine selling at that price to begin with, then think of it as a distributor buying from you and increasing your reach. Unless you have another point on this that is not clear. Another way to think of it - would you rather sell 10 books at the price you asked with no Tik Tok resales, or 30 books with Tik Tok resales? I’d take the latter.
@@terryrl I don’t know if your a troll or if you yourself are stealing people’s ideas or books and selling them as your own and profiting from them but let me tell you one thing, I make very little to nothing on the books I sale. I was trying to build a brand so I can eventually sell more copies and in turn finally make a decent profit. When someone steals from you and just copies and paste your words and makes a bigger profit off of what you created off, that is not acceptable!!! Please do not respond back because I will ignore you!!!!
If people are willing to pay the mark up price of the books resold on TikTok, maybe up your prices to match them? This would deter the thieves and you can carry on selling.
Hi Sean, thank you for sharing all your knowledge! I have a question. I am trying to publish a gratitude journal, which also contains some information and other things. However, I tried to publish it 3-4 times already, and the book got blocked every single time. I tried to change the cover; added information about the substance of the book. I changed the title of the book, so it does not contain 'gratitude journal' (I thought it might be that?).. I have contacted Amazon about it, and I changed the things that they said would get a 'bad customer experience'. Still.. no luck! What am I doing wrong? I already published a coloring book, which is live. I do not want to give up on the book, because I think it is pretty cool and helpful for others as well. However, sometimes I think I should just go back to make another coloring book and other books. I really hope you can help me out! Thanks in advance for replying.
Most of my sales of came from gag gifts and they do so well during the Q4 period. I never tried with journals but I just publish 2 so let’s see how that goes 😅
This is an awesome video! The only issue is the set up being used via Canva is not the same today as when this video was made. Any way to get assistance? I am stuck!
Great content! I create my own designs for the covers of my notebooks, which is what attract sales How do I copyright them so that copycats don't steal my ideas? Thank you❤
For the manuscript, I guess I didn't understand. You uploaded an empty manuscript with interior design so my question is would that be the place I write my story too? I got confused sorry
Great video. Just a question regarding copying and pasting the template into Canva. You mention that you can just click and drag it to fit the Canva template, but it doesn't work for me. If I click the handles on the template to stretch it out, the true dimensions will be lost.
Thank you for this brilliant video, just liked and subscribed. I wonder if you can or have made the template for the interior/gutter margins for the 6x9" journal available for download? It would really be super useful to use. I want to start my own journal selling business and your resources and information is going to help me big time!! I can't wait to get started!!!
Hi sean. I am a beginner in kdp, I have tried to upload 3 books that were blocked . I have decided to follow you in my career at KDP, last I followed you as you instructed me to make a journal but this book was also blocked. help me, please
I have a problem with Margins and need help… I can’t change the default margins when I start a new project? When I click and drag the verticle margin line clicked and dragged from left to page works. BUT the line for the horizontal one from top ruler dragged down doesn’t show up???
Here is the message from KDP for 3 differents Journals that are BLOCKED. Based on our review, we won’t be accepting your submission for publication because the book(s) might result in a disappointing customer experience. Despite i followed step by step this video. For Sean : Thank you very much for the efforts and clear tutorial.. but i think that KDP don't accept this kind of paperwork anymore.. or may be i am missing something.. For those who have the same problem, please tell us how to fix that or what is the secret
This is a fabulous video and very helpful! The only small thing I do not understand is how to delete the template from Canva. Can someone let me know how to do that? Thank you!

I am hoping that by the time I watch your next video, I will have uploaded my first journal into the KDP space.
Great videos as always. Please make a video on how to bundle books. Thank you so much ❤
Yes please. I was looking for that too
I can't wait to try this!
literally the best tutorial on kdp notebooks out there! Great job
Do you have a video on optimizing the listing page?
thank you this is a no BS sharing a lot of you-tuber trying to get attention and fool people you are different thank you for sharing your knowledge. all the best!!
Hi Sean,
I wanted to give whoever is reading this a heads up. I’ve been publishing KDP books on Amazon and have had some success.
I recently found my books, as well as other books, being sold on TikTok Shops with the price marked up higher. I’m pretty sure what they are doing is buying the books on Amazon, which is cheaper, and then reselling them on TikTok shops at a higher price.
Because of this, I will no longer be selling any books on Amazon and have unpublished my books, which broke my heart.
I think you should do a video about this and let other authors know what’s going on with TikTok shops. This is a major problem and I don’t think a lot of authors are aware. Thank you.
So someone was buying your books? That’s good. Why do you care if they are reselling them. If you were fine selling at that price to begin with, then think of it as a distributor buying from you and increasing your reach. Unless you have another point on this that is not clear.
Another way to think of it - would you rather sell 10 books at the price you asked with no Tik Tok resales, or 30 books with Tik Tok resales? I’d take the latter.
@@terryrl I don’t know if your a troll or if you yourself are stealing people’s ideas or books and selling them as your own and profiting from them but let me tell you one thing, I make very little to nothing on the books I sale. I was trying to build a brand so I can eventually sell more copies and in turn finally make a decent profit. When someone steals from you and just copies and paste your words and makes a bigger profit off of what you created off, that is not acceptable!!! Please do not respond back because I will ignore you!!!!
@@terryrli agree with your approach..... its online world. it happens. lets accept....
It's okay they are buying it from you and reselling. Up your prices in Amazon
If people are willing to pay the mark up price of the books resold on TikTok, maybe up your prices to match them? This would deter the thieves and you can carry on selling.
Hi Sean, thank you for sharing all your knowledge! I have a question. I am trying to publish a gratitude journal, which also contains some information and other things. However, I tried to publish it 3-4 times already, and the book got blocked every single time. I tried to change the cover; added information about the substance of the book. I changed the title of the book, so it does not contain 'gratitude journal' (I thought it might be that?).. I have contacted Amazon about it, and I changed the things that they said would get a 'bad customer experience'. Still.. no luck! What am I doing wrong? I already published a coloring book, which is live. I do not want to give up on the book, because I think it is pretty cool and helpful for others as well. However, sometimes I think I should just go back to make another coloring book and other books. I really hope you can help me out! Thanks in advance for replying.
how to use ruller when make pages on canva plz guide me
What tool was used to see the analytics on the amazon page for each product?
I just did it. Thank for your easy step by step set up. Subbing
Any disadvantage to having 150 pages?
Would it increase the cost of printing so the margin is less?
Published 10 books no sale almost over a month
Most of my sales of came from gag gifts and they do so well during the Q4 period. I never tried with journals but I just publish 2 so let’s see how that goes 😅
how is it
This is an awesome video! The only issue is the set up being used via Canva is not the same today as when this video was made. Any way to get assistance? I am stuck!
Great content! I create my own designs for the covers of my notebooks, which is what attract sales How do I copyright them so that copycats don't steal my ideas? Thank you❤
Canva Pro is worth every cent. Huge array of extra stuff.
For the manuscript, I guess I didn't understand. You uploaded an empty manuscript with interior design so my question is would that be the place I write my story too? I got confused sorry
This is nice! A good beginner & budget friendly! I created a few journals, so fingers crossed. I just have to tweak them.
hi how long did it take you to see results
Great video. Just a question regarding copying and pasting the template into Canva. You mention that you can just click and drag it to fit the Canva template, but it doesn't work for me. If I click the handles on the template to stretch it out, the true dimensions will be lost.
Thank you for this brilliant video, just liked and subscribed. I wonder if you can or have made the template for the interior/gutter margins for the 6x9" journal available for download? It would really be super useful to use. I want to start my own journal selling business and your resources and information is going to help me big time!! I can't wait to get started!!!
Cya then!
Hi sean. I am a beginner in kdp, I have tried to upload 3 books that were blocked . I have decided to follow you in my career at KDP, last I followed you as you instructed me to make a journal but this book was also blocked. help me, please
Does anyone know how you can add multiple photos? I want to be able to show inside the book as well.

I have a problem with Margins and need help…
I can’t change the default margins when I start a new project?
When I click and drag the verticle margin line clicked and dragged from left to page works. BUT the line for the horizontal one from top ruler dragged down doesn’t show up???
you said enter 9.250 but you entered 9.52 ? what's the correct size to enter? thank you
From pakistan,.... I tried all you taught me,.... Best of luck to me,....❤
And thanks for all you do for us❤
Here is the message from KDP for 3 differents Journals that are BLOCKED.
Based on our review, we won’t be accepting your submission for publication because the book(s) might result in a disappointing customer experience.
Despite i followed step by step this video.
For Sean : Thank you very much for the efforts and clear tutorial.. but i think that KDP don't accept this kind of paperwork anymore..
or may be i am missing something..
For those who have the same problem, please tell us how to fix that or what is the secret
Same for me.
This is a fabulous video and very helpful! The only small thing I do not understand is how to delete the template from Canva. Can someone let me know how to do that? Thank you!
