I'm 78, with bad hearing and I've watched numerous, numerous vids on other topics and have found I can eliminate most within 1-2 minutes due to delivery, language issues, poor sound quality, or poor substance content of info. This was a great vid and I have saved it for quick future reference. I will listen to the end again, begin the process, and try to publish more profitably. Thanks you again. B :) B

    I watched it all. You're incredible, Sean. You format the video in such a way where it's understandable, holds nothing back when it comes to truth, openly promotes and champions erring on the side of caution throughout, your honesty is incredible, filtering out and dismantling misconceptions, promotes genuine - authentic content, and your prove that others have benefited from what you teach. This is incredible Sean, I'll begin my journey starting from today.
    10/10 video. Make sure to update your tutorials, in accordance with any new developments or innovations that will affect the book publishing industry. But other than that, as it is right now, it is perfect.
    Keep it up 💪🏿😤

    I made it to the end. I am a retired writer, publisher and public relations professional who is embarking on the KDP adventure. I have viewed several excellent tutorials on creating low and medium content books, but I already learned about new techniques on resources in this video - including your generous sharing of Fivver gigs you personally recommend. Your focus on how to actually market your books when they are published seems to be missing or not given detailed strategies in some other training videos I've encountered. Looking forward to using your videos to go deeper into detail on these marketing aspects before hitting publish on three books that are ready to be published. Question: I have one book that was published already -- what now? Should I unpublished and then republish using your strategies -- or are there strategies that work with books already published? Thanks.

    Hi, Sean. I made it to the end! I watch all your videos to the end, and I really appreciate all the information you share in such a clear and helpful manner. I have actually published several médium content books, but would like to see them selling more and I need to add a lot more books, also. I think this is a good basic video and a good refresher for those of us already publishing, and I do have some questions after watching the video.
    I’ve never outsourced my covers or interiors, but I think this is a way I can publish books more quickly, because even a medium content book can take quite a bit of time to write and publish. So, if I outsource my cover, how do I evaluate whether or not the final product is actually good? I think the covers I design look good, but I’m not a trained designer, so how do I evaluate my own or outsourced covers to make sure they have the best chance of grabbing attention and selling?
    I have the same question about the interiors, also. How do I ensure I’m getting a good product when I outsource? Is outsourcing more of a timesaver or a quality issue for you? I just really want the best quality, which is why I tend to spend a lot of time creating a book, but of course, this is slowing me down.
    Do you pay someone to make A+ content for you, and would you use the same sources for that? Do you ever have someone write your book descriptions? Is there a guideline somewhere as to what we should expect to pay for those services? I know you’ve mentioned using ChatGPT for writing descriptions, with your own edits, of course. What do you think of the quality of a ChatGPT written book description?
    Thanks so much for your insight and your help, and have a great day!

    I made it to the end! Thank you for sharing your information and being generous with your knowledge. I've already published 10 books and am having some success. I'm working on several high-content books now. What I learned is that it's definitely worth my time to hire out for book covers and formatting. In one Sudoku book series I did, it took me 2.5 weeks to tweak the cover. It turned out great, but man, what a lot of work. I've been burned a couple times on Fiverr, but I'm glad to see you found some trusted artists.
    Question: How do I sell my book in other markets like UK, Germany, etc? I think I'm missing something really simple.

    I am already in the process of finalizing my first book related to my niche/profession & passion of providing career advice, but what your video has helped me to understand and confirm, is that I should solely focus on writing and producing more and more content. I had been diverting my time on other less rewarding stuff.

    So here’s a question. I started and tried this whole KDP deal. Did about 20-25 books over past 2 months. Some were coloring books rest were kids short stories. One book I did short stories has sold about 27 copies in a few weeks.
    Now that being said other stuff I did sold none or a copy here and there. I made no money on anything. By the time Amazon took their money for printing and royalties, then cost of advertising. I made nothing. I’m beginning to think this KDP is a joke or maybe Amazon is putting these videos out to get people lured in. I mean who is gaining from this the most? Amazon is, they invest nothing into this. The people working for free being told hey you can make money if you try hard enough. It’s an endless cycle of people making books that don’t sell unless they pay to advertise. Then in end they get nothing for their work and Amazon gets it all. I mean why would people who been successful be online offering advice to competitors on how to do the work etc? It’s like a gold miner hitting the jackpot and running to town telling all the people where the gold is. Just don’t happen. So either Amazon is putting it out there because it’s a goldmine for them to lure people in or the people making these videos are getting something in return. Since making no money on KDP they sell how to’s or make money another way. Idk just seems weird. Anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
