Hi Gillian. With Amazon terminating more and more accounts they feel are using AI to create books, is there not a very high chance that using Bookbolt people face having their accounts terminated?
Google Amazon KDP calculator, there is one to create your book dimensions and when you create a KDP account inside you can actually change the price to see what your royalties would be.
I’m looking for a side hustle and have just come across KDP. I’ve always been an avid book reader so I think I might be good at this. I’m 53 years old and need to find something that I can continue doing for many more years.
YES! Thank you sooo much for this info! I have a blind, cleft-lipped french bulldog named Capt Jack & I am doing activity books based on him. We take him to youth groups & schools & will be also taking him to nursing homes & hospitals to show people that they are perfect in God's eyes just the way they are. He has his own youtube channel & instagram & we will do a book series on him as well.
So is anyone here actually making money off KDP books? I'm not talking about a few sales here or there...I'm talking at least $1000 a month above ad spend?
I publish under the author name Kaur Mum on Amazon (mostly journals). I have been doing it for a few months and it has been challenging (thus far I have only had 3 sales). I enjoy the creative process and I love creating work that represents the Indian community so for that reason I don't want to give up.
Don't give up. Keep going. Seems to me from watching various videos on UA-cam, that it takes 1-5 years to really build on momentum whether that is singing songs on UA-cam or making journals. If you believe in what you are doing, other people will feel and see that too. It will come, trust the process :)
i published my first coloring book and it went live about 4 days ago but when i search for the title, its nowhere to be found. Its the only coloring book , or any product with this name. Shouldnt it populate by a simple search? The ASIN comes up with a search. Just not the title which is strange.
I have two books on Amazon already and I am getting ready to publish another book soon, do you think bookbolt would be a good place to put the book together before I put it on Amazon?
I've written a motivational book about growing up with cerebral palsy and achieving you goals. I would weep to sell 500 copies a month! How could I get my book to that level of sales?
Just keep learning about ways to promote and market your book. It such a niche book. That's an advantage in a way. You may not reach your target right away, but it will happen if you persist. Good luck.
Present yourself as an interview subject to your local news media. Or see if you can do a presentation at your local library or community center. Local groups that promote community interests often look for speakers for their lunch meetings, or if there is a medical conference you could ask to do a breakout session.
have been watching you for years! I am a WAHM and recently finally wrote my book idea using Chatgpt for help! I want to do Medium and High Content books. Where can i get help with 1. best layouts for non fiction type high content books and 2. best strategies for KDP for HCBs seems like most people I find only talk about low and medium. any thoughts? I am writing Index type books where someone can look up say a kind of food and it says a bit about it
Slick! I'm so inspired. Going to try it following your instructions right now! Funny. I never thought of doing this when I was a teacher. I made up word searches with an online too that generated the vocabulary words I wanted my students to learn all the time! Didn't think about making them into a book. Now that I'm retired, I am going to use my 'teacher' skills to market books.
Hi, so far I've been oke without disclosing as ai generated as it does not fit into the text/image/translation criteria but would love to hear back what you went with and how that has been working out?
What you have to do is a bit of research, like type in questions home buyers are likely to want to find out, and see what the demand is, by the number of books already on Amazon: ook atl how many books are in the niche, look at competitors. But one of the other ways you could use a book like that is as a way to project your credibility, by being able to say to clients that you have written a book on the subject. YOu could then go on to write more related books under a brand. If you want to make decent money through publishing though, you have to have more than one book, and you have to make sure you will have an audience for those books. Build an email list, and you will then have an inbuilt audience.

Notebooks etc are called NO CONTENT books because they have no content (besides lines, etc). What you call 'medium content' has been called low-content books forever to those who have been doing this for years now.
I paid over $,4,000 dollars to have my book published and after 6 months I am told Amazon rejected my book and the person handling my book says he doesn't know why.

medium-content books have more text and information than low-content books but are still designed to be interactive and customizable.

Hi Gillian. With Amazon terminating more and more accounts they feel are using AI to create books, is there not a very high chance that using Bookbolt people face having their accounts terminated?
To complicate it further, what was once considered medium content is now considered low content, which can make a difference in ranking.
Right?! I recently posted a video in reference to avoiding publishing low content books.
Really? Have to look into what a 'medium content' book is.
Are ISBN numbers necessary for medium content books? Also, how do you decide on pricing? Do you have a video that talks about this?

Do these "medium content" books require the "AI-Assisted" label on KDP?
great question, I'd like to know that too!
No. AI assisted doesn’t require disclosure. Only AI generated requires disclosure.
Hi, so far I've been oke without disclosing as ai generated as it does not fit into the text/image/translation criteria but would love to hear back what you went with and how that has been working out?
How are you
I went through all the steps but the second half of my book is not showing the answer key - they are just blank
What website gives you the words? I can't read it
yes, you have pricked my curiosity about medium content books. very clear explanation
Very clear video and something that I am looking into, thank you.
How can we paste the autumn leaves banner you created to rest of the pages of the book?
Great video! Thank you! Is it okay to put our Amazon link to our book on our facebook post to promote it?
Wow that's amazing content do you need a editor for video reels for more engaging audience.
is it safe to use words like appele , twilight in our word search book ???
I couldn’t put a name on the concepts thanks
This was an amazing step by step thank you
Nice 👍
