I just had to come here and say THANK YOU!!! I've watched so many other videos on how to properly upload my book without errors. The way you explained was not complicated and I could follow right along easily! Thanks to you I have my first low content published!!!
This is by FAR the best step-by-step tutorial of understanding Bleed and No-Bleed for Amazon KDP. Par excellence! Thank You very much for this tutorial.
You are amazing and your intention to teach people properly makes you more beautiful. Literally I haven't watched anyone untangling tiniest details and making them so easy to understand. Thank you
It's been 2 years since you uploaded this but most of the advice is still up to date and accurate. I created my first notebook thanks to your guidance! I'm happy that Canva now allows us to put more than 100 pages :)
Thank you so much for adding valuable information in your listing. Timestamps are crucial for tutorials and yet most others just upload their video without links, timestamps and full description. Your UA-cam channel allows beginners to transform into hobbyists, low-content authors and then into full-time professional KDP authors.. Who knows if your training will be responsible for birthing the next great author!!
This has really helped me publish my first journal with quotes. I looked at one before I found you and it left out a few details that I couldn't figure out, so thank you for being thorough.
I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic tutorial video you shared on UA-cam. Your instructional content is not only clear and informative but also incredibly helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I'd been struggling for weeks on getting my book approved. I finally got it submitted and approved today. This video was very helpful!
A good, informative, step by step video. My frustration is that once I saw the email that the book is live on Amazon, I then go and find the book not signed in as myself and I see the book is currently unavailable.
Fabulous video...thank you! Question: Concerning bleed...if my cover has bleed does that mean my interior does too? Always. And vise versa. If my cover has NO bleed does that mean my interior has NO bleed too? :)
Your cover always needs to be sized with bleed and that is something to take into account if you are manually calculating the size of your covers. Fortunately these calculations are worked into the templates Amazon provides on its Cover Calculator, so there’s not much need to worry about it. You can create an interior with or without bleed and use the same cover either way!
HI, I love your videos! Can you just answer for me about the copyright/public domain option when uploading the content on kdp. Do i need to copyright the notebook? Isn't that considered a public domain since it's empty? And where does one go about making a copyright for their noteboks/journals?
Thanks for this o so much needed this help. I’m in the process of making a planner and journal. I need as much help as possible, I just need to be able to create my stickers and pens that I’m giving with each book…
Thank you so much for all the great info! However I am confused on how you created the cover template that you downloaded to make sure everything is lined correctly (around 15 min mark)? I watched the video a few times and couldn't figure it out lol
Very good tutorial and I have watched many. Importing the cover template was helpful. Question??? On the license for Canva for the element tiles you used. Is just putting the title on it enough of a change to the element to satisfy Canva’s license agreement, which tend to be difficult to understand. Ty
Thank you so much for this video ma'am, it's very educative but my question is after all those steps, I fortunately uploaded my notebook but it's displaying draft instead of live (it shows in review and later turned to draft)?
Your video is really helpful 🥰 thanks a lot Please I have a question, am using Canva on phone and the tidy up icon is not visible for click and Soo when I use center it makes the lines very close to each other not like yours Please help thanks a lot ma🙏🙏, am training from your video.
Thank you for helping and showing us but me a beginner i had a hard time with amazon i hoped you would show me where to get the calculation of the book in amazon I didn't know amazon well as abiggner so I had a hard time
I got 2 notebooks published, I have a question though. Am I promoting it like I would anything else? meaning getiing the affiliate link. I wasnt sure if since its my book, I would have a different link, and if so, how do I get it?
I loved the video! Still kinda confused on sizes...so for an 8.5 x 11...I have to put 17.52 x 11.25 for the cover, then 8.625 x 11.25 with bleed for the pages?
Yes and yes! If you’re working with 120 pages, that’s the right cover size, otherwise a thicker/thinner spine will need to be accommodated and that’s easy to do with the Cover Calculator. You’ve got it! 👍😀
Such a helpful video, thank you! How do you download your cover templates so that they are the correct size to upload to Canva? I am having a horrible time getting the KDP Cover Template to upload.
Hey Skylyn! When you download the cover template file from the Amazon Cover Calculator, you will get a PNG and a PDF file. The PNG file is large and usually needs to be scaled down in my experience. Alternatively, try this in Canva: Create a Design > Import File, and import the PDF
Great video- Thanks so much for sharing this info! Just wondering about the rules with using images from Canva to sell products on Amazon? Are there any legal licensure issues with using those images for a product?
hello I just signed up for KDP. Do you have a video that helps with initial steps? The description, publishing rights and keywords are all questions I am not sure how to answer for this project. This is a very helpful video. I appreciate it. Thanks
Hey, thanks so much! If you haven’t already, I really recommend familiarizing yourself with Amazon’s helpful guides for KDP, there’s a ton of info there! I created a video all about descriptions here - ua-cam.com/video/kwbmUzQysig/v-deo.html Best of luck as you start your KDP journey.
The video is amazing and really helpful.. but there needs to be considered that if people are new to this things that you should show how to get to find travel through them..
Heello! I don't know what's size my pages for low content books? Means I know for cover book but I don't know what size select for book pages , if my books be 120 pages and size kdp be 6*9 so which sizes is good for design on canva for every book pages : 6.125 *9.25 in or 6*9 in,which is good? Thanks
This video was so extremely helpful, thank you! I am trying to upload my first notebook, and it's saying that there is an error because I have objects outside of the margins. I followed your tutorial completely, so I'm not sure why it's saying this. When I downloaded it, I tried PDF standard and PDF print and neither works. Do you have any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks again, this was an amazingly helpful tutorial!
double-check your bleed settings and make sure any text boxes aren’t too close to the edge. if you’re working with bleed, sometimes graphics that are sitting close to the edge need to be extended beyond the page to make it easier for the printers
Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering about the paying process. How does Amazon pays you? Must we fill in somewhere a paypal account or something? How we do that? Is there a video? Thank you!
Good morning, great content, but I’m stuck trying to enter the height and width on canva in the custom box. I followed the instructions, but it’s still saying enter valid value. Please help. Thank you.
I did but it’s still saying the same thing. I’m using the 8.5x11 and every time I press create, it goes back to the width. I’ll keep at it, but is there any other way around it.
I used this tutorial to upload a notebook onto Amazon KDP and I received a email from KDP stating the I must include all contributors on the appropriate selection. I followed this tutorial to the t and I still do not know what I did wrong. 🤷♂️

I thought Canvas was not allowing use of their images anymore? Someone else posted how their books were taken down on Amazon because of this.

This vedio is very useful 👏👏👏👏
Great tutorial thank you! I was left with one important question though; How many lines should each page have? Hope to hear from you soon!
There are no rules -- wide rule is generally geared towards younger kids though
He,llo thank you for doing this video it was very helpful!
This is able to order the printed notebook from amazon, right? And Thank you for your video.
Thanks for the valuable information. Is there any option i can see for spiral bound setting page in KDP amazon?

Thank you so much for all the great info! However I am confused on how you created the cover template that you downloaded to make sure everything is lined correctly (around 15 min mark)? I watched the video a few times and couldn't figure it out lol
You can generate a cover template with Amazon’s Cover Calculator, then upload it to Canva
Very insightful and helpful. Godbless
Very good tutorial and I have watched many. Importing the cover template was helpful. Question??? On the license for Canva for the element tiles you used. Is just putting the title on it enough of a change to the element to satisfy Canva’s license agreement, which tend to be difficult to understand. Ty
Thanks! Make sure to check Canva's terms to be clear on what you can/can't do - www.canva.com/policies/license-agreements/
Thank you so much for this video ma'am, it's very educative but my question is after all those steps, I fortunately uploaded my notebook but it's displaying draft instead of live (it shows in review and later turned to draft)?

No need, choose one.
Thank you 💕
Great video- Thanks so much for sharing this info! Just wondering about the rules with using images from Canva to sell products on Amazon? Are there any legal licensure issues with using those images for a product?
Hey Mara, when you click on an element in Canva, you can bring up the licensing details with the Info button to be clear on what you can / can’t do
Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Hi! Where to get the cover templates for download?
What if I haven't filed for copyright on a guided journal? Should I click on public domain? 😢
I love the video ma'am , but I need your help on how to open a kdp account and how to sell on it
Everything you need is right here - kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200634280
I'm using my iPad Pro and it allows me to download 120 pages all at once on pdf standard format and pdf for print
Yes, Canva has upped the max page number thankfully 👏🏼
Beautiful
The video is amazing and really helpful.. but there needs to be considered that if people are new to this things that you should show how to get to find travel through them..
Thank you...Very helpful :)
Q: You created a 120 page notebook. Is it actually.... 60 double-sided pages?
Correct!
@@PassiveIncomeTemplates Perfect...Thank you so much!!
Heello! I don't know what's size my pages for low content books? Means I know for cover book but I don't know what size select for book pages , if my books be 120 pages and size kdp be 6*9 so which sizes is good for design on canva for every book pages : 6.125 *9.25 in or 6*9 in,which is good?

Am publishing a compostion book what category should it be

@@PassiveIncomeTemplates That worked! Thank you so much, you are a lifesaver!
Are the pages front and back? Like is page 2 is on the back of page 1? Sorry if I’m not making sense lol just trying to get an understanding. Thanks!
Yes, that's correct. Otherwise you will need to add blank pages in between for single-sided
Thanks!
Great tutorial! How do you determine the correct spacing for the lines on the pages? Thank you!
Canva has rulers and guides you can enable if you want to be really precise!
Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering about the paying process. How does Amazon pays you? Must we fill in somewhere a paypal account or something? How we do that? Is there a video? Thank you!

Thank you for the video 🤍😁
Thank you for watching! 💕
Hiya thank you for your great videos
Q:how would i go about setting the pages if wanted my customers to be able to easily tear the pages out??
Actual perforation isn’t possible but you could indicate a place to cut with a dotted line
Do you own the copyright if you're using templates from Canva? How does that work?
Good morning, great content, but I’m stuck trying to enter the height and width on canva in the custom box. I followed the instructions, but it’s still saying enter valid value. Please help. Thank you.
make sure you switch from pixels to inches 👍🏼
I did but it’s still saying the same thing. I’m using the 8.5x11 and every time I press create, it goes back to the width. I’ll keep at it, but is there any other way around it.
Thanks so much for being up this early to answer my questions. You are amazing. Thanks again and good morning.
Hi can this be done on a mobile phone because I currently lack a laptop?
Canva does have an app!
I used this tutorial to upload a notebook onto Amazon KDP and I received a email from KDP stating the I must include all contributors on the appropriate selection. I followed this tutorial to the t and I still do not know what I did wrong. 🤷♂️
Wich category choose?
