Hi Caroline. I think you’re beautiful. I think speak wonderfully. Your editing is great. Your backgrounds are nice and homey. Thanks for all the info and inspiration you’ve given over the years!
Thats so nice of you to say, thank you!
If I hadn't found your video on how to publish a children's book I wouldn't have been able to navigate my way to actually publishing several children's books. You gave me the inspiration and the confidence to try.
Hello Caroline, like many of the others here, I'm a long time fan! And I'm glad you're not going away, only pivoting, clairifying and centering your channel name and direction. You give so much, and we love all the content and ideas you share. You've been a mentor to me on my self publishing journey, and because of the internet, you can do it all the way across the world. So rock on sister--you've got this, and we'll be here to support you.
Hi, a suggestion: Why don't you incorporate book reviews. Let an author send you a book, you read it and give it your honest review on the cover and the contents and give it a rating. Keep the good work flowing
Hi, thanks so much for the suggestion, def something to think about 😀
I think you should :) I write kids books but never published, finally I decided to publish and I have learn more on TH-cam than the money I paid to an agency, then to editors that are literal minded on fantasy kids books.
I have the same thoughts! I would love to pay you to look at my books and tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Yeah I would love that suggestion, would watch for sure!!
I love the new name! It's very fitting because you are absolutely the first place I come to for anything KDP related. You have helped me so much. And I appreciate everything you've shared through the years. :)
Thank you so much, such kind words 😊
Hello to Selfpublishing Central!
I love your videos. Thank you!
Thank you!!
I am extremely glad you are not saying good-bye to teaching. I have learned so much from you and I thank you for that. I love your teaching style; I actually understand after listening to your videos! God bless you! 💕
Agreed
KDP all the way!
BIG THANK YOU!!
Hello Self Publishing
Heyyyyyyy!
Love your channel -- no matter what you call it! ! My go to for learning about publishing with KDP. THANK YOU!!
Thank youuuuu!
Wait just a minute..I had my hanky prepared...I was ready to have a good cry... you mean this isn't goodbye? We're not breaking up? Oh, OK
Sorry to disappoint...? 😂😂
Me too! Caroline, don’t scare me that way! Heart attack central! 😢
Hi Caroline. I'm glad you are not saying goodbye. 😃I love your videos, they are very helpful and I am looking forward to your course.
Thank you so much!
I’m a new viewer but you really help me with your videos, you look very honest, simple person and trusty. Keep on doing what you do best.
Continue doing what's best for your channel.. I enjoy learning from your teachings. All the best!❤
Thank you!
I am glad you are continuing with self-publishing!!!! I love your content! ❤
Thank you!!
I appreciate very much your integrity. Thank you for all you do for us!
Oh, thank you so much, that's lovely.
CONGRATULATIONS!! I love the new name. I appreciate what you do. Thank You
I love your transparency and care to inform us of the changes to your channel that are more aligned with you. That, in and of itself, is inspiring. ♥
ROLL ON Selfpublishing Central! Looking forward to it.
Yay!!
Hello. I am only a new person on KDP. There are so many TH-cam people out there but you are so kind and make me feel that I will get better through your kind help. I will still watch your videos and just to say thank you for your help and that you are successful in all your businesses.
Thank you so much, that is so nice.
Hi Caroline, I have self published a few books on Amazon KDP however am struggling with navigating my profile as an author so an increase my sales on Amazon, l have signed up for the waiting list of your course to see if it will help me on my self publishing journey, I regularly watch your videos.😊
I'm so happy you are still around 🎉✨🙌 You are one of a kind with high quality and always super exciting content! Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! I just found you today. You have been very inspirational to me!
LOVE THE NEW NAME!!! Keywords: Self Publishing will get millions upon millions of views and purchases.
Thanks to you, and because you are so thorough with explaining things I started my own coloring books mainly kawaii style in different niches. Evergreen/ holiday and so on. So thank you for this channel 😊
My you be blessed many times
Wow, I'm so happy that I was able to do that for you, that means the world to me 😊
Thanks so much for all the information and help you have given in your videos, Caroline, really! I follow a lot of KDP publishers, but your channel is one of the most direct, cut-through-the-BS, helpful channels out there! 🫶🏻💖
I love when channels pivot and creators grow and change in ways that are best for them! Great job ans name, will be here as long as you are!
So glad you will still be around. One of my favorite prophets (spiritual life) just passed away and there is only so many goodbyes my heart can take all at once. Take care and good job. 💐🌷
I will continue to follow. You have a lot of great information. Thank you!
Whatever you decide, I love it
Don't give up u are great thank u
Thank goodness you'll still be around Caroline. I really need to get my act together re self publishing and catch up on your videos that I've not watched. So far my medium content moon journals are identified by kdp as low content and aside of coming up with the original idea to meet my own needs, it takes me at least 2 months to create the version for the following year. And I'm only selling maybe 20 copies a year! Which has really demotivated me. So thank you for this. Your bold step has reminded me that I need to do the same, and get serious about making an income from publishing books. Thank you!
Thank you for supporting my channel and sorry to feel like you've been struggling a little. Small steps - just keep working at it and as hard as it can be sometimes, just keep going when things are going slow. It's all a learning process.
Hi Caroline,
I’ve been watching you the last few months and have learned so much.
Looking forward to more of the same under the new name!
Thats so awesome, thanks so much!
It’s Great that you progress in this direction and focusing on what you really love doing. Less is more. The changing the name is always risky, but even if you lose some, you’ll gain others who are really interested in self-publishing and not just in general talk. Since I have discovered your channel by the end of last year, I have published 8 books thanks to your videos. I know, it’s not much (like 3 books a day🙃 ), but I am not using AI, purposely, as it degrades the value for the customer. So, thanks for keeping your channel alive👍 Pavel, good on you
Thank you so much!! Publishing 8 books is amazing! You are further ahead than most people!
Hi Caroline, Thank goodness you're not saying goodbye because I've only recently discovered you and subscribed to your channel. I think your videos are great as well as so relevant and informative. I look forward to watching everything you've done as well as your new videos which will really help me with the kdp business I only started late last year. Best wishes x
Im on the wait list, look forward to hearing from you
I am so grateful to have found you and your channel a few months ago. You have been my constant companion ever since I stumbled cluelessly into this business. Thank you for your tireless work and your generosity of knowledge.
Hey Caroline, thanks for your channel I love it. As live goes and business grow things change. The market, economy what ever. Change is inevitable. The new name is an excellent choice. I'm glad you are making changes, to me it shows you are fully aware and care about what you do. I truly mean when I say, out of all the self publishing videos by other creators. Your channel is the one I trust and believe in. You have challenged me, encouraged me and I have the confidence to give it a try and work towards my first self Published book. Sure it's not easy to read about Na-Sayers and their stupid comments. You have so much to be proud of. Heck I'm proud of you. You've worked so hard to be where you are. thank you again for everything!! I'm so looking forward to the upcoming training course. David
As far as "self publishing books" is concerned, all I can say is, "Take me there!" That, and thank you for what you do. ~ D
Thank youuuu!
You've been an inspiration on my own self-publishing/low-content journey. Glad you're continuing, with a new focus on your channel. Thanks for all you do!
Oh thank you!
Yah!! I love books and want to self publish so thanks for keeping that focus.
Very interesting video. It was nice to hear her testimony and experience. It's been motivating.
This seems like such a natural and fitting pivot for your business ❤
My 2 Cents I absolutely loved MY FREEDOM EMPIRE because it spoke specifically to what I'm after. I am working in several digital categories not just publishing and I feel like that name encompassed it all at least for me. This name is more singular in focus which is good for new folks for sure. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 on gaining clarity. I look forward to what you have in store next.
Hello Caroline! I get it! I, too, have been online selling, Etsy, KDP blogging, affiliate and all you mentioned above since 2008. Whoa, my age is showing. But I am so happy about your new name, and channel direction. I have to say that, except for selling on eBay when my son was little, I have made the most money online with self-publishing books, which I also enjoy more. So thank-you for sharing your knowledge over the years, it has helped me and I know many others. You are such a class act, and I will look forward to continuing watching your channel and seeing you bloom and grow while helping others.
Thank you for all the advice I created a coloring book with my art and I am sooo happy ❤
This is incredibly helpful content Caroline!
So funny, I honestly never noticed the name of your channel, I think I subscribed the first time I watched you because of the content you offered. Now, I just recognize your face and, read the title and watch your video. Thank you for being an invaluable resource with actual experience that you're willing to share.
Hi Caroline. I’m a long time subscriber. Thanks so much for all the videos over the years. I can’t wait to see what this new channel turns into. I would really love to see some content about publishing on Amazon, but not just KDP. I want my coloring books to be spiral bound or tear out pages which KDP does not do. Like how to approach a coloring book publisher when I don’t have a social media following. It’s hard to get started.
Thanks so much for sticking around for so long, I really appreciate it 😊
I would not be where I am today without your sage and sound advice and information. I will continue to watch and learn. Endless thanks, Caroline, you are appreciated!
Wow, thank you so much!
I’ve been a subscriber since the early days of your channel when you had around 10k subscribers. It’s been great to watch you grow! Yours is the only channel I watch every video for KDP. I look forward to watching you continue to change and grow with your new channel name!
Oh wow, thanks so much for sticking around, I really appreciate you.
I recently found you and love your videos, thank you for staying with LOW Content on KDP. Blessings
Hi Caroline,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate the messages you’ve produced. I fully understand the nastiness of some people, especially those who watch without doing anything. It's disheartening that some individuals prefer destruction over construction simply because they are incapable of achieving anything meaningful in life.
Please don't worry about any of the comments, insults, or nasty opinions from the dark side of life. I personally believe you are a beautiful woman, very attractive, and extremely well-articulated with a humble and honest personality. You have inspired many people and offered knowledge, guidance, and hope to so many.
Keep doing what you are doing, change whatever you want to change. Many of us will keep listening and appreciating you and your message. If there is anything I don’t like, it’s that you are 12,000 miles away from me.
Best regards,
You've been a go to channel for my self publishing journey and I appreciate all the helpful info you've shared. Love the new name and look forward to the videos to come.
Thank you, that means so much 😊
Right decision... Keep growing... Lots of love 🥰
Thank you!!
Caroline, I recently found your channel and I'm glad I did. Your videos are a great resource with clearly presented ideas and topics and the information you're providing is pure gold. Who cares what the background is like, or about your accent (I'm Canadian, we love Aussies/Kiwis). Ignore the haters with their low-grade criticism, they're not worth your time. (Especially the ones who criticize your physical looks, because they are clearly blind 😍).
Hoping all the content will stay…I just found you! So pleased that you have connected with what you need!!!❤
Hi Caroline…
I’ve been watching your videos more in depth over the last couple of weeks as I had skimmed over them for the previous 12 months. I belong to 3 other KDP book author academies and I have to say that I think I enjoy your KDP Self-Publishing info and incorrigible style more than the academies that I belong to. You are amazing and you have helped reignite my KDP aspirations through your vast knowledge on the topic. Go well and your videos are the bees knees. From one Antipodean neighbour to the other! Diane from New Zealand… 😊👍
Oh wow, thank you so much from across the pond! 🙂
Thank you for all that you have shared ✨🙏✨🦋✨
Omg! 😱 thank goodness! Scared me for a bit. I really enjoy the self publishing. That is how I found you. “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. Thank you for your videos and information
Yay Caroline! I was scared that you were leaving YT. Thank goodness you are not! I really love your channel and plan on starting my KDP journey this year and you are my favorite resource. I look forward for what’s to come!🌸
Thank you so much, so glad to have you here!
omg Caroline! my heart sank when I saw the word Goodbye next to your face 😮.. I'm so so so glad it's not total 😌.. please know you're appreciated & loved 🤩 here's to self publishing with Caroline 🥂🍻🎉🎆
Glad you are staying helpful for self-publishing!
Hi, Caroline! I thank you very for being such an inspiration. Now that you're going to focus on self publishing, believe me, I can't wait to see more content of yours! I'm sending you a lot of good vibes on this turn on your youtube career! All the best from Peru 🇵🇪
You really had me worried at first. I just found your channel and really love the content and your presentation. I'm delighted that you aren't really saying goodbye. Take care
Thank you! I'm so glad to have you here 😊
I am sorry people can be jerky with comments. I love your videos. Thank you....
LOVE the new name!
Thank you!!
Hi Caroline,
Definitely enjoy watching and learning from your experiences on Self Publishing. I've been a TH-cam subscriber since 2020ish and really like the name change!
Cheers,
Congratulation on the new name. Always appreciate your videos even ones that are not about my main concerns. Your presentation are so professional always dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. A big E-hug coming your way.
Thank you!!
I only found out about you a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for new ways to make extra income (I've tried sooooo many). You've already helped me publish my first notebook on Amazon, and I'm very much excited about this new self-publishing project. Now learning that you're changing the direction of your channel to fit my new endeavour, just feels like I've been guided. Thank you so much for your work!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad to have you here! I wish you all the success in the world 😊
Thank you so much Caroline😊@@MyFreedomEmpire
Hello Self Publishing Central!
Heyyyyyyy!
Just discovered you today and watched a bunch of your videos. You're beautiful and smart, anyone who says otherwise...isn't. I'm glad you are focusing on your passion! Writing is my retirement project and critical thinking is my topic of interest. I would appreciate any advice you may have!
Oh thank god it’s just a channel name change.... you worried me there for a minute.... I thought you were disappearing 😂
Lol....sorry! 😊😊
Yay Caroline!! I love that you are continuing to grow your channel the way it makes sense for you. I'm super inspired by all your content and have begun my own self-publishing journey. I hope I can get involved in your course (I'm on a very tight start-up budget) --I will put my name on the list! Thank you for all your amazing content so far! (PS--people who are commenting negatively about your background are missing the point and will likely never be successful, as they continue to focus on the wrong things!! ) Love your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you all the success in the world! I remember one comment I got not too long ago which said they were unsubscribing because my background hadn't changed since I started 😄 Thank you!
Glad I found your channel! I recently published 4 motivational journals on kdp.
Hello Self Publishing Central
It's a great thing to have you niche down to publishing - something you love doing and you know works well for you - I think that's self discovery. More power to your elbow
@Selfpublishing_ That will be a great one. As one who's into publishing, though I haven't made much success, am very open to learning more about the business, especially from experienced and successful people like you and Maria of the Home Boss channel.
Hey Caroline. Great job with you channel. I really enjoy watching your videos. They're all so well present with easy to digest information and tips. It's because of you that I took on the personal challenge of trying to get started on my own jourmy into self publishing. Not something that I thought I'd ever do, but, it's was you that triggered something in me to give it a go, and honestly, I'm loving the experience so far, it's been a lot of fun. I just wanted to thank you for that.
C.
Oh wow, I'm honoured!!
Attractive, well spoken and full of great information. Geez, what more do they want??? Must be envy I suppose ... 😁
Thank you!
Good luck with the new title. Thanks for the posts.
Thank you!
Super Congratulations Caroline I’ve learned so much from you, looking forward to what your course has to offer! Stay FABULOUS ✨
Thank you!!
The background works fine. Thank you for your informative videos 💜
O thank goodness. I thought you were leaving. Thank you for all you do. You are truly appreciated ❤
😄😊 thank you!
Hi Caroline, I really enjoy your videos and have learnt a lot from them, you have so much knowledge, you speak and explain things really well! 😀 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and continuing on your channel under a new name. 🙂 I am just starting out in publishing low content books with Amazon KDP (doing the Kindle Publishing Income Course) and really enjoying it. Keep up the fabulous videos you do and wishing you all the best of luck and success in this new chapter with your TH-cam Channel. 🤩🌻 Shannon, New Zealand
Oh my goodness Caroline, Until it became clear, I was afraid you were going to say good bye to doing self publishing books! I love and support you with your changes and all that you desire to create. In the meantime, I’m here watching nearly every week! Hugs to you
Oh wow, thank you so so much!
Thank you for the knowledge you've shared. I've enjoyed your independent author help videos.
Thank you!
Omg I love this!! Your videos are not only informative, but (for me at least) very motivational for publishing. I listen to your videos back to back while coloring in my illustrations for my picture books. Would love more stuff on children's book publishing. 😃♥️
Thank you so much, that means the world to me to hear that!
I like watching you , do what’s best for you and your business 🎉
Gosh you had me nearly in tears 😢 I thought you were going to sign off for good! So pleased that is not the case. Ummmmm if someone is here to complain about your background then they are not here for the right reason. How about be grateful for all of the in-depth information you share with us all? Keep being you ❤
Oops, sorry! 😄😊 Thank you so much!
Hello, I've been watching your videos for a year, and they have helped me a lot. You are a very beautiful and intelligent woman. Your videos are very clear and help many people like me. Thank you for providing so much value, and I wish you all the success.
Thank you so much!
Love your content on self publishing and happy that you are continuing with this topic 😊
Thank you!!
Thank you for the inspiring, informative videos Caroline, I absolutely love them! You are a great motivator. Very excited for your new direction. By the way, you have a very good presence and your delivery is excellent! 🥰
Wow, thats so nice of you to say, thank you 😊
Love your voice and your ideas1
Thank you so much. Your Channel is the most honest and real informative content on TH-cam.
Best advice on pros & cons; just the Facts. Without the Fluff 🎉
Your Amazing 🏆💯❤️💯
Thank you sooooo much!
I think changing the channel name is a fantastic idea!!! I'm seriously thinking about creating some low content books for KDP. I've never done it before so I'm very nervous. I've been watching your videos for awhile now and you information is the best out there. Do you have any videos about the best tools to use when selling on KDP? I know you talk about Book Bolt (which is on my "To Get" list) but are there any others that you recommend?
Were you serious about you creating a course? Where do I sign up?!?!?! This is the most exciting thing I've heard in a long time!!! Go for it!! ❤️
@Selfpublishing_ lol. I can give you a list over a mile long of what I don't know or am confused about if you're looking for content lol
Thank you for what you do. I love your channel. I have started my journey and am grateful for your inspiration.
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Thank you ,love all your videos. I appreciate you. Best wishes to your new journey and excited for you !!!💕 Can’t wait to see what is to come.
No, I appreciate YOU!! Thank you!
I thought we are going to say goodbye, You were leaving, now is relief that you are not leaving!!
I enjoy your videos, and learn from your experience. That makes your channel(s) valuable, and why I subscribed. Don’t let the negative comments from a few discourage you. You are brave to put yourself “out there” and you have your fans or followers who will continue to learn from you. Aside from monetization, I think there is some value or reward, in knowing you are helping others, countless others. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of success. (Subscribed for some time now).
Thanks for staying the course and keeping the channel. You provide a valuable service to those of us that understand what real knowledge and information is. Some others charge for what you give for free and I appreciate it! I know you get some nasty comments as all TH-camrs unfortunately do. My advice. Delete them! Those of us that enjoy and benefits from your channel are the ones that matter. There are Karens everywhere so don;t let that stop you (Please). Thanks again and know there are many here that appreciate you and will gladly remain to replace the human version of low content 🙂 Keep them coming! We'll be right here.
Such nice words, thank you so much! The amount of lovely, supportive comments I have had on this video, yours being one of the nicest, does remind me how many nice people there are out there and I'm so grateful to receive comments like this 😊
I super love your content, they are helpful, engaging, and informative. All the best to you!
I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with petty criticisms! I wonder if some of those people are subconsciously envious of your success and are looking for any way to tear you down. Glad to see it hasn’t stopped you!
You have been so helpful to me thank you! I’m still waiting to earn much but it will come! Keep going! Xx
Thank you so much!
