Hello 👋 I have problem I got this message from Amazon can you make a video to solve this ??? " Resize the background or image on your cover so that it extends 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. All covers must be sized for bleed, which means you need to add an extra 0.125" (3.2 mm) along the top, bottom, and sides of your cover file. Once you have increased the size of your cover, extend any images or backgrounds that you want to reach all the way to the edge of the page 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. This prevents manufacturing issues when the cover is trimmed to size "
Your background image is probably not going right to the edge of the KDP template or the template size is not correct for the size you;ve entered and the number of pages.
Hello! I've been a subscriber for more than a year and I've learned so much from you, thank you! I do have an unrelated (to the video) question. My manuscripts keep getting errors on almost every page saying "This object is outside the margins", yet there is absolutely nothing outside the margins. I've always used your templates and everything was ok. It's extremely frustrating, there is nothing outside the margins, but I keep getting these errors. Any ideas, please? Thank you!
I don't really have any ideas other than that if they say there is something outside the margins they are usually correct. There must be something on those pages that KDP is detecting that is outside the margins. Make sure your bleed settings are correct too.
everyone has this idea of finding keywords, not a single one giving the right one. all I think of is just make your own way strategy, too many videos from people will just get you confused.
Thank you, for another excellent work for those who want to publish on Amazon. By the way I would like to know if I can publish with a nikname my book? Thank you. An excellent work.
Hi Paul, thank you for all of your great content! It has sincerely helped me a lot. You are also very easy to listen to. I have a question regarding the title. Shouldn't we put the keywords in the title/subtitle we found when searching for a less competitive, but profitable niche? So instead of writing Cornell Notebook, a very competitive niche, we write Cornell Notebook for College Note Taking in the title, since it's less competitive and we have more chances to get on the first page. This is how I understood the point of niche research or am I wrong? Thank you for your help
Thankyou for your video very informative. Can you answer me a question please. How is it that some authors have reviews that are purchase verified and are shown to have less reviews than non purchase verified. Not sour grapes, just wondering how unverified can be legitimately accepted without proof of purchase. Sorry for dragging on.
It's just Amazon's policy to allow both types of reviews to be accepted. When it comes to ranking they put more weight on verified proof of purchase reviews.
Hello, Paul. Thank you for your videos. I have watched many of your videos to study KDP market. I have not published any of my book yet. But I do have found a nich I want to in. However, I am not sure the nich is really exist or not. Can you share your insight with my niche? Thanks in advance.
Paul, we would love to get a Google spreadsheet but don’t know which to choose. Please can you advise. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. We appreciate your generosity. Owen and Marion Clark.
I have recently got into Etsy, then stumbled across your videos. After watching your videos, i instantly went and made an amazon KDP account, and published my first book. You are a great content provider on this subject, thanks very much. +1 Sub
Hi Paul, your videos are amazing! I want to start by uploading notebook with my artwork designed on the cover but amazon say your title must be also on the book. I don't want this as if affects the look but I don't want the account to be banned for not sticking to their requirements. Can I have it blank? If it is necessary, can I just have it on the spine or back instead? Thanks in advance 👍
Hi paul .thank you for all video . It 's very useful . I do mistake in title and I want to change it . Can i do that ? Is there any method to make that change ?. Do i delete my book and republishing. Amazon kdp does not allow that change . Plz help me .
Middle part of subtitle is against Amazon's KDP t&c. It's not allowed to add information like amount of pages, size etc. Better use that space for something else. Generally very interesting tactic, I will try it for sure! Thanks for sharing
Hi Paul. Perhaps it would be suitable to create a new video about this topic, including all the latest information. I would be particularly interested if we could use the word 'gift' in the subtitle, as I've heard that some people encountered issues because of it. The same question for words like 'ideal' and 'perfect'.
Just want to say thank you for all your video very informative. Your video makes it so easy to follow, I have used your bookbolt code to signup..:) Cant wait to see more video coming up..thank you
Hello Mr Paul I want to thank you so much for showing me way to make money for myself and making your video so easy to understand. My question sir, I started publishing notebook, journals since 5th of August this year after I followed your instructions.i have published 56 notebook, journals and have not sold anyone,does this mean 6×9" with 120 pages is not right for notebooks, journals? Please sir check out my work by searching for (Asu Press notebook or journals)so I can earn your view sir,thank you so much for you are my mentor
I created an ATV log book, nothing else like mine is on Amazon. I had trouble finding the categories to use for it, it ended up under camping. How can I change category and promote? I realize most people who ride ATV's are outside much of the time, but for us, we kind of forget which trails were horrid and which ones we liked, so keeping a log book of our travels is quite handy. I have a problem with category and promotion. Any of your expert help would be appreciated. I created the interior pages myself to fit trail riding on ATV's. Thanks!
Sounds like a great book. You can either change the categories in your KDP dashboard or you can contact KDP support and request which categories you would like your book to appear in.
@@paulmarles I wanted them to add a new category but they didn't do it. There are many items for ATV's but no separate category for them. They are not motor vehicles and they have categories for boats and motorcycles so not sure why not one for off roading or all terrain vehicles. I enjoy your videos they have helped me so much.
Hi Paul, I have a question (please respond if possible). On my book I sell through KDP I got 2 customer 1 star reviews saying their book came printed upside-down. This effects my overall rating, but the fault is not mine but Amazons because they made a mistake in printing. I've been trying to contact them but nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions that I could do to have those 2 reviews removed because they are not reviewing the contents of my book, but rather the way Amazon printed them incorrectly? Thanks!
Unfortuantely not. You can try contacting KDP support but I think you will find the reviews will stay. It happens. For example books getting damaged in the post. It's frustrating I know.
@@paulmarles That is so frustrating. In their Community Guidelines for reviews, it literally says "Product condition and damage" is not allowed. Yet they won't follow their own rules and remove the reviews.
Do you ever make series books? Is it better to post separate (for example) Notary books or make them into a series? Thanks for all of your videos! I never thought I would be able to make and sell notebooks like this!!!
is it true that you can't add books with titles that are already available on amazon but are generic phrases like Christmas activity book for 3-5 year olds. Does every title we launch on Amazon have to be unique?
Hi Paul your videos are very good for understanding kdp. Can I add a title to my word search book, such as: A challenge to search for words or another title, such as searching for difficult words, because I saw some people having problems because of adding words to the title, such as good, perfect, beautiful, etc.
Hey there Paul - thank you for all of your videos! Do you recommend changing the title/sub title/keywords on a book once its published? I am speaking about one I published before I listened to this video - thanks🙂
Unfortunately, you can't change the title and subtitle after it;s been published. You would have to unpublish it and re-publish. You can change the keywords at any time.
Hi Paul, this was very informative on how to structure the title. Thanks. I was wondering if you could make a video about the 7 keyword boxes and any strategies on how to fill them out. I have seen your videos on how you find relevant keywords, but I am curious about the strategies for the 7 keyword boxes; as in: do you use single words, frazes, separate with commas or just space, ... Thank you!
I'm publishing on KDP a lot of notebooks with beautiful unique art covers. Do I have to have a unique name and subtitle for each one? You are the MOST helpful teacher I have found!
Thank you Mr Paul your TH-cam content on KDP is awesome, each time I watch any of your videos I do pick a lot of things that I am not doing right then my learn from it,then it drives me to a positive direction.
Excellent. However, we are repeatedly told not to specify the number of pages (same with size of the book) in the subtitle, which you did. It used to be accepted in the past but not anymore. May be KDP guidelines have changed again. Thanks.
Hello I learnt about Amazon KDP for some while now!!! I also got a course but was not satisfied with that. So I came over to TH-cam and found you and your videos are so great and it's really helping. But I just have a issue looking for the Best Category to place my low contents books like Journals & Not Book's. I don't know if you could make a video concerning that☺️. And also I don't know if it would be possible connecting with you. Thanks 😊
Keyword staffing when i out cama 3 keyword like. Lawyer journal . Funny notebook for lawyer. Lawyer funny gift Can block the acvount or make problem? They make sels very well
Hi Paul! Does the subtitle have to appear on the cover too? I keep getting my book rejected because the subtitle on the cover doesn't match the one in the setup. My cover doesn't include the subtitle, however the title is exactly the one used during the setup.
Strange. Here is the exact mail kdp sent me : "We checked your files and found issues you need to fix before your book can be published on KDP: Cover Update the subtitle in your cover file so that it matches the details you entered during setup. Where possible, we give pages numbers with examples. To make sure your entire book meets our guidelines, please review your entire manuscript file and fix all issues." I will try to change the cover a little bite a submit the book again.
You are looking great!
Great video as always!!
Thank you. Thank you for watching.
Hi! Is there a difference in impact on SEO/ranking between a keyword in the title vs the subtitle?
Hello 👋 I have problem I got this message from Amazon can you make a video to solve this ???
" Resize the background or image on your cover so that it extends 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line.

Your background image is probably not going right to the edge of the KDP template or the template size is not correct for the size you;ve entered and the number of pages.
Hi Paul, Wich one is best use exact keyword from Amazon suggestions bar or create our own tittle from all those auto generated Amazon keywords
Which auto generated keywords are you referring to?
@@paulmarles in search bar
Excellent 👌
Thank you. 👍
Thanks Sir

We can use gift for kids in the suptitle??
I would avoid that. I remember reading somewhere once that Amazon doesn't like 'gift' in the title. It may be fone but I'm not 100%.

Hi Paul, this is a very useful video. Subtitle keywords should have Amazon Search Results
Hi. Is it necessary to put title on cover? I. 've made a notebook and I would like cover without any text.
The title has to appear on either the cover or the spine. So you could do the latter.

Can a subtitle be two sentences?

Very nice and humble guy love from Pakistan 💕
spell check and auto-correct make a lot of mistakes and it overrides your work.
Nothing is perfect but can be better than nothing whcich is what a lot of people are doing.

To non-fiction yes but to most fiction keywords in titles is not as applicable.
