You’re amazing! Thank you for this video!!

Just received one of my books which I published with CreateSpace/Amazon KDP in 2016 just out of curiosity and it is totally screwed-up with several blank pages, error on front and back covers, OMG I cannot sell THIS! and it WAS correct before I tried to push through updates. Was never notified by KDP. SO I've decided to rewrite "Ukraine! Through The Eyes Of An American Dreadlock Brain" and publish with LuLu this time.

This might be old. I am setting up an account at Lulu for my books, and they offered me an ISBN number for free (so far, but I'm still in the middle of signing up).

I wanted to offer my picture book in hardcover but KDP doesn't have many options for sizes in hard cover :(

Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!

you just convinced me on doing it

Is it difficult to terminate the business relationship to pursue other options with LULU and Amazon KDP?

🇹🇹💯🇹🇹 Hello. Hope you are well. Can you do send me a step by step approach how to copyright my books. I want to publish them now. Thanks in advance. Angel Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹💯🇹🇹

If I copyright a self-help journal, is it considered as Literary Works or Visual Art?

I published on LuLu. The shipping is astronomical.

Thank you so much! I didn't know LCCNs and their relevance and I have been researching it for some time now. It, indeed, seems a very minor effort which could have great results! Happy to come across your channel.

Thank you so much.🎉

Can I sell my children's books via KDP and LULU Xpress? I will connect the LULU Xpress account to my shopify and sell the book on my website. Your thoughts and expertise are greatly appreciated.

Dear, what about ISBN? I published a book on Lulu and they offered me an ISBN. I don’t know if it’s gonna be the same book.

The high "distribution fee" has caused us to take our books off Amazon. Amazon isn't going to sell your Lulu book for free, that's their fee. It made the book cost higher for customers too and some were lost in shipping. Besides, we had too much competition on Amazon, as you noted. Good video.

Title looked better on KDP. Ingramspark!

Hi there, thank you so much for creating this video, there was a lot the Lulu's videos didn't cover. My Shopify Lulu Direct connection isn't working and I was hoping you could help me (I'm trying to get a hold of shopify and lulu as well, but haven't heard anything back). I set up everything as instructed, but when someone purchased the book, their payment only showed up in Shopify orders with my Address as the fulfillment option. It did not show up at all in the Lulu Direct App. So I can't fulfill the payment on Lulu Direct and I don't know why it's not showing up there. My books are connected to Lulu Direct, I manually entered shipping, the person paid for what I entered, and nothing. Could you give me any direction? I saw that you added Lulu Express location to your store, but you didn't show us the mailing address. Is that something I should add to my store? Thank you very much.

Hi Harley, I just want to thank you for this video. It’s so inspiring to hear your helpful words.

Thank you for your video, it’s very informative. Am I able to sell the same book on Amazon as well as Lulu? I am seeking to create more visibility for my books

Music was so loud could not watch. Speaking too quite. Had to stop watching after third blast of music.

What about costs?

I have completed a book on commercial real estate, and I have gone through all the editing and formatting processes. I have received an author's proof from KDP, and an author's proof from Lulu, and will be getting an author's proof from IngramSpark soon. What I need is some advice as to what print on demand company I should use, and some of the glitches that I am finding, (examples: KDP’s interior paper is too thin, my hardcover and paperback covers that were professionally formatted are not working on KDP, etc.). I would rather have someone do all of this for me. I need to speak to a real person! Can you recommend anyone who can take the ball from here and complete what I need to have done? I started this book more than 3 years ago, and I have put much time and effort into it. At this point, I will pay anything to get this to the goal line. I am hoping you can help me in some way with advice and or a recommendation. Thanks, Dan.

Great video! My question is: can you use both?

Very helpful video, thank you so much!

very helpful good job

I couldn’t hardly noticed much different in terms of colours but wot I’ve noticed is their lettering fonts are visibly different. Also, I was fortunate enough from Amazon shipping handling, I’ve never received any damaged (yet) so far. But the only thing is that, when u order/request from Amazon’s proof, which u have forgotten to mention/include on pros n cons, they put this “not for saleable” around the book page cover, while with LULU, I’ve ordered or requested my proof from them, they do not put any sort of ‘seal’ around the book that tells ‘not for saleable’ But I still personally prefer Amazon KDP b’coz they’re very conveniently reasonable in their pricing but so far so good for me, as I haven’t received any damages from most of the books I’ve requested either from AMZON or LULU…I have no problem, but they both have long delays in shipping tho. NOTE: I use the AMAZON Australia btw instd of US. Cheers👍🏽😊 from Gidget, Melbourne🇦🇺

Just published mine on lulu (not global because it’s a spiral) and they are charging $2 extra on shopify than on lulu 😑

If I create my book on Lulu, but also merge with Amazon, will my customers be able to use Amazon shipping?

I only see Lulu direct on the Shopify App Store. Did they discontinue Lulu press?

books mailed in bubble-wrap envelopes are not sufficiently protected from in-transit damage, especially if those books are hard-back. Lulu's packaging is the best, by far, for me.

Lulu offered me free ISBN today (Jan 27 2023) for a low-content book.

Looking into publishing some books and ran into your video. I want to start with a cookbook. My biggest problem now is where to start DESIGNING the book (for free... is it even possible?), where to actually write it, what software to use so it can be sold either digital (ebook) or an actual printed book. Can I use Lulu for this? Can their digital format/s (PDF?) be exported wherever I want? Even to Amazon? My website? Can I do the whole thing without paying a dime upfront on Lulu? What about Amazon? I would appreciate some initial guide for someone like me who is lost in sea of information... Thank you!

I thought you could only use amazon kdp based on their Ts & Cs

Are there alternatives or better if I want to sell on my website directly so that I don't need to do any printing and delivery

Thank you for this video, Harley! It really helps me. 1) I wonder if it's possible to choose "worldwide shipping"? 2) What do you do with "shipping from" because Lulu has several print location?
