It took me a week to get my first 5 books published. I listed them at the same time, after 3 days, amazon kicked them back. Its hard because they don't tel you exactly what is wrong, instead give a list of possibilities. So I asked and was told i was using repetitive phrases in my title/subtitle. I had followed your example for the title and subtitle, and with me, they thought "word search" 2 times, in that area, was unacceptable. So when i finally figured it out, I removed the 2nd "word search", and things went live. The funny thing is, it was probably the luck of the draw. I could use word search back to back again, and it may pass just fine. Amazon, gotta love um.
Great tips! I'm just starting out with KDP, and this video is incredibly helpful. The focus on speed is exactly what I need to get my books noticed. Thanks for sharing!
I have been so motivated watching your easy follow through videos about KDP. I, however, been having so much issue trying to complete my account set up. Is there zone restrictions? I've even reached out online via Amazon customer service but I haven't received any real help. I was advised to call an international number to be assisted further but I just can't make that call, expensive for me at the moment...Anyways thank you again for another great video
I watched your video today. I like it very much. I subscribed your channel. I watched more videos. I made account on all platforms you suggested. Now I am going to do as you suggested. I will tell you when this will work for me. You are doing hard work for us I really appreciate you. Lot of Love from India. ❤❤
Your advice is very useful. I have a question about the pricing strategy for a book published on Amazon KDP. If we set the lowest price to compete with other books in the same niche, there is a risk that our book may be perceived as low value. On the other hand, if the book is too expensive, it may attract fewer customers. So, what is the best approach?
@GregGottfried - Should each puzzle have a subcategory in the niche? E.g. for your horses niche: should there be horse grooming, horse feeding, horse racing, horse breeds, etc.? Or just random categories in each puzzle?
Hey no worries. I don’t have one but maybe that’s something I can put together for you. I’ll see what I can do! In the meantime this is the full step by step tutorial on the process: How to Start Amazon KDP in 2025 (Beginner Tutorial) ua-cam.com/video/dopQWKDB0lU/v-deo.html
Thanks! If you click clone project instead of new project that will duplicate it, or you can copy all the elements of the cover and create a new project and then paste them on the new one 👍
Published 5 books after watching your videos. Almost three days and yet to make a sale. Hoping to get the first one soon as it will be so motivating to keep on working on these.
Nice work! Just a matter of time. Keep up the good work if you can. I like to call it ‘front loading’ your account. Essentially the more you can get uploaded, the more sales will come, so once you see them starting you’ll had wished you uploaded a ton more already. That’s just a bit of advice I wish I knew when starting. Hope that’s helpful!
@ Awesome mindset. I respect that because most people say they need to see sales before spending any more time on it. You’re among the few who think like us, and that will help you tremendously to succeed 🙌
@@GregGottfried Heyy i got my first sale a few days back. alhamdulillah. but all my new books are getting blocked now. word search, coloring book or journal. all got blocked within an hour. i created them using canva. Please guide if there is something i am doing wrong. will highly appreciate your response.
@@GregGottfried heyy i got my first sale a few days back. alhamdulillah. Thankyou for your videos. I am running into an issue. I design and upload books using canva. My new books are getting blocked due to copyright issue. is there something i am doing wrong? tried uploading coloring book, journal & crossword puzzle book as well. all of the content is self generated and not copy pasted. please guide. will highly appreciate your response.
Dang.. I wouldn't sweat it though it's just a matter of time. In the meantime, let's see if we can find a way to get those sales started. If you're willing to share, how many books have you published so far, and how long have they been posted? I know you said a month, but I'm curious if you've had them all published for a month, or started uploading the first one a month ago. Hoping to get your sales rolling here soon!
Hi Greg, great video as usual. Thanks for your good and clear tips. I ran into something odd in the book bolt niche search tool. I have several niches with good number of searches, A for competition but only 1 book sold per month. I see this as a good result because lots of searches and low competition but poor results because only 1 book sold per month. What are your thoughts on this?
Hey Greg! Thanks for the awesome tips! One issue I faced with Niche topics is that sometimes there are limited words in that topic despite adding sub-themes. This make Chat GPT repeat each words up to 8 times which makes it time consuming to manually adjust it. Any tips to reduce repeated words? (I understand some categories have more words but some niche really have limited) Thanks in advance!
Excellent question. I run into this too and want to cover it in a video, but in the meantime, just try putting in multiple niches when prompting the word list builder. For example, instead of "Camping, 9 words per puzzle, 55 puzzles" try "Camping hiking nature outdoors, 9 words per puzzle, 55 puzzles" and it will pull words from all of them. Camping is a broad example already, but when getting specific in the niches, this helps a lot. Hope that solves the issue quickly!
I've signed up with BookBolt, and was just trying your advanced niche strategy. Absolutely every category that I added to my favorites is coming up as 1 Estimated monthly sale and an A competition score. This can be accurate for more than 20+ categories I've looked at so far. Can you please explain why this might be happening, or if there is a glitch in the hardware?
Hey no worries! I was using it today and saw the same thing. Still found good sales volume ones, but I think it’s because of the new year for some reason. Maybe resetting data or a glitch. I’ll be keeping an eye on it too!
I watched the previous video you talk about regarding KDP word search books, my first book published on December 6th and I got my first sale on December 8th. Just 2 days I couldn't believe it. However I have been struggling to have KDP publish most my books, they immediately block some for some reason. Seems very hit and miss with that.
Nice work getting a sale within 2 days! That’s faster than me, and only one other person I’ve heard from has done it that fast 👍👍 As for the uploading, that’s interesting that some are getting immediately blocked. I haven’t heard of that before. I do know they’ve put a 3 book per day upload limit on some accounts, so maybe it’s on days you’re uploading more than 3 books? Are they giving any explanation why the books are not going into approval or getting rejected?
@@GregGottfried This is happening when only trying to publish one book in a given day. I was able to email KDP to plead my case and they did accept one, but its ever time lately all my books are getting blocked. They say they believe it would result in a disappointing experience but I'm going above and beyond some books I am seeing live now on amazon. These are word searches and journal/ log books.
Greg, I have uploaded 3 books straight, and my account was terminated and shut down. Am I supposed to uploaded one be one getting approved first or the problem was with something else? I followed everything you showed. My 1st book was approved and after that 3 books at a time, bam
Brother there is a problem coming when I try to buy subscription of book bolt I am try to pay with debit card but whenever I try to add my account no he said that " the card is not accepted". I am very sad about this😔 .please help me with a genuine suggestion. 😔😔😔
I also want to create books and sell on KDP and try to earn something because I don't have any source of income. When I click the box under "What's your bank" they show the country list but my country name (Fiji) is not in that list. What should I do? My financial status is really bad now.
Thank for all, I'am watching you from one corner in Africa. I would like to ask you , why you didn't make a video to explain How to creat Redbuble as you did with Teespring, teepublic and Amazon Merch on demand. Thank so much. Sun 23 Dec 2023 , I have created my Teepublic seller Account.
i want to open create word list but give me this message : GPT is inaccessible or not found. You may need to switch accounts or request access if this GPT exists.

Would you recommend that we set ourselves up as a "publisher" for these low / medium content books? Or just sell them as "yourself"?

Hi greg i was wondering how long does it take for your book to be publish
They have a 72 hour review once you submit your book. Typically it’s around 48 hours to get the book live once submitted 👍👍
