Firstly gratitude to you. Thankyou Thankyou and Thankyou. I did follow and still following your way and just realised that I have sold 9 Books (Low Content books) since August… I am excited as a child Happy Diwali to you & God bless
Really helpful. Thanks for your advice to these niches. I dont have no clue before, now have got idea and knowledge how to going through this all. Thanks again.
@@paulmarles Paul, you might want to take a look at the comment below. Obviously your avatar photo has been stolen and placed into a spam account that could well lead viewers to be defrauded.
Love your videos, Paul. Are you exclusive to low content? Most of the stuff coming out on TH-cam is for low content. How about videos focused on fiction writing?
Thanks! I really love that you're revisiting some important topics. For me, it confirms that you still find that the programs and/or methods remain valid. Admittedly, I have made a few covers, but zero content because I'm still trying to figure out which program works best on a Mac. I'm sure you don't need any advice on how to monetize your channel, but I would love to see you do a weekly (or even monthly) live show where you present a brief, but timely topic and then answer some questions. I know I would happily pay a few dollars for you to answer one of my questions on the spot.
Thank you too. That's very much appreciated. I used to make all my interiors on a Mac with Adobe Illustrator. I now mainly use Affinity Designer. Thank you for the suggestion. I've thought about doing a regular live show and is something that's on my list to look at more closely.
Thanks for another great tip. Question. If you upload a few books and want draft copies before going live can you bunch those into 1 cart to save on shipping? Or is each upload to draft a separate purchase/shipping?
Hey Paul, thank you for your inspiring video! So helpful. Do you recommend to create an account for every niche or one account with different niches? Thank you
Hi Paul can you explain how taxes work for UK authors doing KDP please. I believe Amazon in the US take taxes for books sold, do we then also have to pay tax on royalties in the UK?
Uk has a tax treaty with the US. If you fill out the W8-BEN form in your account in the KDP dashboard they will not withold any tax. You pay taxes on the royalties you receive.
Do the search terms change in Amazon KDP? I started looking at hunting coloring books in August and not much came up, but now there are many that pop up with the same search words. Is this because it's hunting season so more people are looking for these coloring books or because Amazon did something with its search results or both? I have been doing better picking titles that now pop up on the first page if not the first place on search results.
How long have you left it. Sometimes the back cover takes a while to appear. There is no more Look INside features for low content books that are published without an ISBN.
Pls I have a question how can you find out which low content books are in demand because I used the right keywords till now no sale the annoying aspect is that I saw a low content book that had no designed elements on the front cover just written words on it😔
I'm afraid I don't at the moment. I have done in the past but that was about 9 years ago and my memory of the process is a bit rusty! But when I do return to it, I'll certainly post some content.
Hey Paul, is this a full-time income for you? I'm a totally disabled veteran looking for an extra income. I appreciate your visions and yours is some of the best "How To" video I've seen. Thanks
The difficulty is all the difficulty in finding a suitable place and it is in great demand.. A wonderful video. I hope more from you in this regard, as you are a professional in this field.
I just started my KDP journey - completing my first coloring book yesterday (in review). I realize I would have done just the same as you were it not for this video. So big thanks for your tips & tricks. Great content. Subscribed!
A bit off topic question…but I’ve received a few reviews lately complaining of the “quality of paper”-saying it’s thin and bleeds through- have you dealt with that issue? Is it depending on where Amazon is having it printed, or is it just super picky people? I’ve gotten some of my coloring books to see how they are, and they always seem okay to me. (I always only use one sided printing). It just bothers me that this negative review is not based on anything in my control. Thanks for being a good go to resource for KDP!
I've never had problems and yes, books that I've ordered always seem good qulaity. I know others have mentioned this issue so maybe quality varies between batches of paper they use. Also take into account, yes, picky people and I'm sure some may use a brand of pen that runs ink more. Lots of factors but, as you say, out of our control.
The videos are full of these click bait phoney replies, be careful! Not from Paul am afraid, sometimes they will even use the logo photo of the person making the video.
Hello, I am in the process of creating my first book. I was wondering... In Canva, can I use the free pictures for a book (I will alter of course) and use them? Or, do I have to have the paid version of Canva to be able to use the images in my book? Thank you so much.
@@paulmarles Thank you so much. Everything that I have seen states that you can use them. Then, I watched a video from Tangent and they state that it has to be the paid version. But, the way they stated it was confusing, without clarification. AGAIN, thank you so much for all that you do.

This was very helpful!!! My “research” on Amazon is all over the place… this makes so much more sense! Thank you.
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.
I noticed that some people are selling their wordsearch books on KDP for $2.99. They are destroying the market and leaving no profit margin.
Are you sure they are published via KDP?

Hy Paul I would be grateful if you will do a video on how to create graph book interior using canva
I'll put it on my list.
I can't login my kdp account because OTP isn’t work. I'm not getting OTP on my phone. Please make a video for this issue.
Love your videos, Paul. Are you exclusive to low content? Most of the stuff coming out on TH-cam is for low content. How about videos focused on fiction writing?
Yes, at the moment it's just low/ medium content. Fiction and non-fiction publishing maybe a possibility in the future.
Great video, as always anyway. Thank you
You're welcome. 🙂
waiting for the next part

Thank you for another great video - getting closer . . .

No, I don;t think you can do that. Each is ordered individually.,

You're welcome.
How do you make the patterns? I want to make a picture book for my grandson.
What type of patterns and for where - the cover or interior?
I like your videos, but please kill the background music track. It is distracting and makes it difficult to understand if you have a hearing problem.

I have been doing better picking titles that now pop up on the first page if not the first place on search results.
I'm not sure. More likely Amazon was doing something with the searches.
If you do not search in the incognito mode, Amazon will next taylor its results based on your search history.
Very helpful
Thank you. Glad you found it useful.
Can any of this be done on your smart phone or is it all computer
Yes, it's possible.
Amazon doesnt even upload the book back cover anymore? Is this for all books or only low content books? No more look inside and no more back covers?
How long have you left it. Sometimes the back cover takes a while to appear. There is no more Look INside features for low content books that are published without an ISBN.
January list ..... coloring book .....a lot of make coloring book...January...
Grazie.
Pls I have a question how can you find out which low content books are in demand because I used the right keywords till now no sale the annoying aspect is that I saw a low content book that had no designed elements on the front cover just written words on it😔
I'll be covering how to choose whether a niche is worthwhile in my next video.
@@paulmarles thank u
Hi Paul do you dabble in Ebooks? Or high content books? And would you do a video on them?
I'm afraid I don't at the moment. I have done in the past but that was about 9 years ago and my memory of the process is a bit rusty! But when I do return to it, I'll certainly post some content.

Hey Paul, is this a full-time income for you? I'm a totally disabled veteran looking for an extra income. I appreciate your visions and yours is some of the best "How To" video I've seen. Thanks
I have a number of sources of income. Currently, the monhtly income averages around $3000 to $3500 from just the books on Amazon.
Thanks Paul for getting back with me
I type in "kids book" and they are all classic and written books, best sellers basically by rank. There are no low content books I can see.
;)
All efforts wasted
Thanks a lot

Hi, its been three months ,... how is your coloring book going?

@@shroommovies I have published two books which in my opinion are good looking coloring books. But no sales. Maybe im not using the correct tags?

Thank you a lot for such helpful video!

Okay.
How do know which book types are in hight demand but low competition
Through niche and keyword research. I've got videos on this in my book tutorials playlist which may help.

Somebody once suggested to ask Amazon to remove those reviews which are not your fault.
If we create a medium content book, can we also upload it onto ekindle?
Most are not really suitable for Kindle as most need to be written on.
Thank you 👍
You're welcome.
Thank you for great content and ideas.

Hello, I am in the process of creating my first book. I was wondering...
In Canva, can I use the free pictures for a book (I will alter of course) and use them? Or, do I have to have the paid version of Canva to be able to use the images in my book?
Thank you so much.
Apparently it's the paid elements you cannot use. But it's all very confusing.
Yes, you can use the free images.
@@paulmarles Thank you so much. Everything that I have seen states that you can use them. Then, I watched a video from Tangent and they state that it has to be the paid version. But, the way they stated it was confusing, without clarification. AGAIN, thank you so much for all that you do.
