Thank you Paul for this video. I popped off to find Rocket before you finished the video and saw the associate program so i hopped back over here and grabbed your link to sign up for Rocket. So happy it is a one time pay. My subject matter is very tiny world so help with key words is super important. Thanks so much, your videos are really helping me develop my book business. Margaret
Thank you, Paul, for bringing this to our attention. I'm just starting out and I want to make sure that all the books I will be publishing have the greatest of chances to make it to the top. I just bought Publisher Rocket and found out I had in fact selected a ghost category for my first book. Thankfully, I hadn't yet published it so I was quite happy to be able to change it without a problem.
Thank you Paul. I'm from country far away from you. You are like angel to teach and help us from heart. I know you believe in good karma from your episodes. Bless you
I Really don't understand Amazon search bar. Let's say you are searching Pregnancy journal. It says 926 results. When you go to the 3rd page-the results are over 10000- with a lot of mess, books that are not pregnancy journals. And this is not only for this category.
As usual, thanks for this clear and concise explanation. However, I disagree. It appears crucial to me to understand all this for a beginner as well. It is hard enough to create and have a book with its head above the water, not to have it thrown into a ghost category for it to drown simply for a lack of understanding of this crucial update. Yes, Publisher Rocket is the tool that keeps on giving, Chesson is very generous in sharing his knowledge. We get so much more than the tool itself when we buy it!
Hi Paul. Thanks for the video and information. Loving your content. Do you have any insight into books such as diaries, that do not appear to fit into any category now that Amazon have implemented this new system? I'm loathe to tick the low content button for my 2024 Diary as it has different content (both copy/imagery) on every day/page/month, so I'm not sure if there is anywhere to categorise it. I also don't know if I should add it to the Non-Classifiable category... Thank you!
I changed lots of my books categories and some keywords (after listening to Dav) and my sales stopped. Last 16 days not a thing. Never gone without at least 1 sale every few days. Have you kept original categories/keywords? Or did you change some.. if yes did it improve or decrease sales?
@@paulmarles yes I must have done something to stuff up my sales. Was wondering if you had changed keywords recently (the new way of doing them as suggested by Dave C?)
I'm a bit puzzled. Just to clarify, are we limited to having a maximum of 3 categories instead of the previous 10 categories? Is it not possible to reach out to KDP support to add those 7 additional categories?
No, it's not. It is a big improvement as the previous wide selection was frowned upon by Amazon and was leading people to chose absolutely insane, irrelevant categories for their books, all that to get that best seller badge in such an unfair manner. I was waiting for Amazon to clear that up, and they finally did!
Hi sir, thanks for teaching us. Sir i have a request to you. pls make a video how to create notepad on canva. notepad not notebook, i have watching lot of video on notebook, but there is no video on notepad, like a4 size or legal paper size, also toell us how to upload on amazone kdp. Thanks in advance. take care
Thank you Paul for your videos they have helped me a lot. I am new to this and I have used your guide templates which are very helpful. I do have a question about the categories. Can you please tell me where I can find a category for calendars? I've been looking and I can't find anything close.
Hello Sir, I would like to thank you so much for everything you do. I've finished my first coloring book. But before I upload it on Amazon, I hope you can provide me with a solution to my problem. In the past, I had a typical Amazon account that didn't include any of my details except my name. Next, I used the same computer to create a new account's Amazon KDP by providing my personal information. After that, I closed my previous Amazon account. Will I have any issues if I try to publish my book on Amazon using my second account?
Hi Paul, I've been watching all of your videos and just launched my first coloring book for Halloween and boosting with ads right now. I'd appreciate if you can do a video on upgraded ads placement I've got these options on my ad campaign and want to know your thoughts about how it works and the eventual costs versus results ratio if you have done this? Thanks a lot:) Adjust bids by placement: Top of search (first page): 0% Rest of search: 0% Product pages: 0
OMG. this is a lot of info to digest on top of all the other info of how to set up kdp, make all the parts and get it all to work. Not sure how being a newish low-content publisher makes a difference. Does being new to this make a difference? How does one get sales if you unknowingly land in a Ghost category.
How do I get unbanned from Amazon KDP? I’ve been banned for almost 6 months now since I posted my first book after watching your video. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Will you be doing new videos with any updated information soon? Your videos are by far the best out there to help and simplify.

Very good teacher
Paul always great mate, glad I found you. Would you consider giving a paid coaching call?
Thank you for your message. That's not a service I provide at the moment but appreciate you asking.
Oh my goodness, you would never get a moments peace. We would all be making appointments!
Thank you Paul
I notice they don't even show categories on Amazon if your book hasn't sold.
That’s because you are not ranking in any categories.

You're welcome.
I need information about new update i can't upload more than 3 book at day
that is the new limit... set up to prevent spam low quality publishers. Some were publishing hundred plus books a day... Amazon said 'no more'
@@mcm4981 so no more hard work 😥
I covered that in this video which may help: th-cam.com/video/jv6EOJarHmo/w-d-xo.html
Wow! Thank you
Thank you so much, can i ask please how many books can we upload in one day??
Great video
Thank you.
Does KDSPY offer similar options when it comes to categories?
I don't use KDPSPY so can't advise you on that.

Hi Paul!
Can I start an Amazon Ads campaign with the intention of paying for it with my book profits?
How to write 7.5 x 9.25 in midjourney ?
How do I get unbanned from Amazon KDP? I’ve been banned for almost 6 months now since I posted my first book after watching your video. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Why did you get banned?
It depends on why you were banned

You're only option is to contact KDP support to appeal the ban although if it has been 6 months that opportunity may have passed.

Paul can I talk with you pls because I have a huge decline on my sales
We talked before on Instagram
