Thank you paul, i m a new baby on Amazon kdp, your video is very comprehensive,i wish you can create a full book or comprehensive videos for new babies for us to buy
When I first heard Brits saying maths, it rang strangely to my U.S. ears, but then I thought, it's mathematics, plural, and we say mathematics, so why do we shorten it to math rather than maths. I appreciate these lessons. Very helpful. Alex
@@paulmarles I have a question Mr Paul on A+ content, I did everything correctly but why is it that when I wanna submit for reviewing, it keeps telling me “Content Validation Failed” ?
I published my very first guidebook on Amazon and I think I've made a mistake with the cover. I didn't know you reviewed peoples books, wish I'd known, anyways this is very usefull advice, thanks hun
@@paulmarlesThanks for the reply Paul, I did just that and made it plain white with black wording. Love your videos, I'm learning so much, have a great evening.
I just spent all day yesterday making these kinds of notebooks I did Math, English & Science in 5 different colors & going to make more subjects today. wish I could get your input on my designs. Ever since I watch one of your videos. I have been able to learn quickly but still working on coloring & tracing books
Hi Paul, Thanks for such an informative video, can you please make a video on 'how to make graph paper book on Canva' I need it badly. thanks in advance.
They can be both. Tend to be paperback. Composition just refers to a particular size of a book although many books that call themselves composition books ignore this fact!
Paul FYI you made a slight error in explaining the color wheel. The primary colors are R-B-Y. You said green instead of yellow. Blue+yellow=green. Thanks for all your great info!
As an artist, I agree. The colours Paul is talking about are the colours used for computers and printers but they are not the true "primary" colours, which are, as you've said, Yellow, Red, and Blue in their truest forms. The true "secondary" colours are an equal mixture of two of these colours, to therefore arrive at Orange, Purple, and Green.
It's in the help section of the KDP dashboard. If you watch this video I show you you exactly where to find it. It is early on in the video. ua-cam.com/video/fUjhMNTidl0/v-deo.html
thanks you so much for making this video Sir I keep having problems with my cover after publishing my book to amazon kdp to review it they send me error messages about my cover please help me
I am working on publishing my second book and I want to have the option to offer at least 2 color options. I never saw this option when publishing my first book. Is there a way to do this?
Hello. Thanks for providing such great value. I’m thinking of creating low content books (journals, planners). Are these typically copyrighted? Thanks and take care.
You can use some images for free but it looks like you are limited to selling only 50 items with that image. I would advise checking out their licesning page for the full information you would need.
Hey Paul. I love your videos! I have a question! Is there anything that can show me how to publish a book with actual photos? Before I found your channel, I had started a children's book, and I paid for images, and I'd like to get it published, but I'm worried the pictures will not show up correctly, and I have, to date, only found one video which shows conversions, but only for a certain size. Any tips you can offer me, I would be Forever Grateful! I think it would be a really cute book and a lot of people with children will like it, so I'd really like to get it up on KDP. Maybe I have to go another route?
If it's actual photograps rather than illustrations I don't think KDP is the best option as I don't think the quality of the paper is suited to actual photographs. You would want thicker glossy paper I would've thought.
How do I go about showing you my kids letter tracing type book? And do you think if someone reviews the book and leaves a video or pictures of the inside that this could could make up for the lack of an isbn#? Could you share the website to get the isbn # please?
If you're in the US, google 'Bowker ISBN'. I don't provide any book review services at the moment. If someone leaves a review and photo, yes it helps but don't get someone to do it. You risk getting your account banned. All reviews should be natural organic reviews.
Great information! I really appreciate your lessons/insight, I do have a question. How am I able to upload more than one image for the listing? I only have the cover photo and that's it. I appreciate all feedback =)
Hi Paul, I think that once you earn money you have to pay tax. How do you do this? Is it automatic or do you have to do it yourself? Does it matter if it is in pounds or dollars? Great if you could make a short video on this.
I have a question Mr Paul on A+ content, I did everything correctly but why is it that when I wanna submit for reviewing, it keeps telling me “Content Validation Failed” ?
It was just so one could see the book cover as it appears on Amazon without the distraction of the back cover. Purely demonstration purposes and not meant to be some technique or method you should follow.
Hi Paul. Very helpful videos. I have a question though. I want to do a journal with a few pictures throughout the journal. I want my picture to appear on the left side of the page of the journal. There are 120 pages total. This may be a stupid question - but how do I know the page placement and if it will appear on the left or the right side of the journal?
@@paulmarles how did you insert the graph paper so easily? i used this idea for my niche as i already searched for nice background layers, i worked out it with a graph paper design website :D
12 is not many. My advice is to create more. It's a creative business and takes time to learn all the skills to the point you can create products that customers want to buy.
the question has surely already been asked, but I would like to know if we can duplicate a book by only changing the cover and maybe the title? I've seen it on Amazon before but I'm not sure if it's legal.
Good information and thank you for the encouragement at the end. I needed it. In your opinion, Paul, are low content books still worth designing and uploading even if they don't have an ISBN or the "look inside" feature? Also, I'm getting the impression that the more books I have available, the more Amazon is likely to promote them... or the more likely my books are to be seen. Is this true?
I have no idea regarding your question regarding ISBN. It's only recently been implemented and I don't have enough data or heard of any data as yet. It hasn't stopped me designing and uploading them and there are ways aroound the lack of Look Inside feature. The more you create the more you're books are likely to be seen based on the fact you're more likely to create something that is a hit with customers but I don't think Amazon promotes them more purely based on the number you;ve published.
Host the pages on your own website and use Pinterest ads to drive traffic to it. Pay no more than $1 a day for no more than a week. After that, you decide if you want to continue advertising. If you don't want to pay for it, you can get a free one at WIX, but their ad will be displayed on your site. I also say "visit the website to learn more" in my book description, without actually using the web address. Since my web address is the same name as my company and my pen name, it doesn't violate the rules.
Hi Paul, thank you for the very helpful videos, I really appreciate them. I have made a mistake, I have just created my first 6x9 journal and forgot about the bleed. Is there anything I can do at this point to change this? I assumed the interior was 6x9 instead of the 6.125x9.25 as I’ve just seen in your video
You missed the mark here. The cover looks awful 🤦🏾♀️ failure is part of the process yes but you should still be trying to produce a high quality of work.
You always explain things so clearly, so well. You need to create a course on all this - I would gladly pay for that! Thanks again, Paul.
Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. it's something I'm working on.

Thank you! I am a newbie and you are one of the best teachers! Are the composition books hard cover or just paper like coloring books?
They can be both. Tend to be paperback. Composition just refers to a particular size of a book although many books that call themselves composition books ignore this fact!
My book keep rejecting but your clips give me strength to try again, cover size is my problem
Glad you found it useful.
Paul FYI you made a slight error in explaining the color wheel. The primary colors are R-B-Y. You said green instead of yellow. Blue+yellow=green. Thanks for all your great info!
RGB (red, green, and blue) refers to a system for representing the colors to be used on a computer display.🙏🏻
As an artist, I agree. The colours Paul is talking about are the colours used for computers and printers but they are not the true "primary" colours, which are, as you've said, Yellow, Red, and Blue in their truest forms. The true "secondary" colours are an equal mixture of two of these colours, to therefore arrive at Orange, Purple, and Green.
No error, this is in referrence for colors represented on screens.
@@paulmarles Thanks and apologies! I understand.
R-B-Y? What's that? Better make a thorough research before judging someone who is just trying to help people

Sir I keep having problems with my cover after publishing my book to amazon kdp to review it they send me error messages about my cover
please help me
You would need to tell me the error message.
Thank you so much Mr. Paul
Please is this book just a regular notebook or a graph book content?
It's just a book cover that I created. It's not about what the book is but a tutorial on design and colors.

I am working on publishing my second book and I want to have the option to offer at least 2 color options. I never saw this option when publishing my first book. Is there a way to do this?
No, you would have to publish as two separate books on KDP.
Hello. Thanks for providing such great value. I’m thinking of creating low content books (journals, planners). Are these typically copyrighted? Thanks and take care.
Do you mean do you have to copyright them or are journals and planners already copyrighted?
Nice, thanks! Are Vecteezy images free?
You can use some images for free but it looks like you are limited to selling only 50 items with that image. I would advise checking out their licesning page for the full information you would need.
Thanx for help
You're welcome. 👍
Love your videos, but the three primary colors are: red, blue, and yellow (not green). You make greens by mixing blue and yellow.
Not on screens you don't. These are the primary colors for screens.
Where did you pick to live in AUS?

Start further out from the image.

@@paulmarles oh...I see, ty so much. I'll go find your video! Thanks again 😁
Sorry but GREEN is not a primary color but a secondary one made out of 2 primary colors, blue + yellow.
On a screen it's red, green and blue.
Hello Mr Paul pls am a novice on this business pls how much will it cost for me to start
You can start for free.
yo MR Paul do you make your covers using RGB colors ? shouldn't be made in CMYK ?!
Yo. sRGB always worked perfectly for me.
Hi Paul, I think that once you earn money you have to pay tax. How do you do this? Is it automatic or do you have to do it yourself? Does it matter if it is in pounds or dollars? Great if you could make a short video on this.
Yes, you do have to pay tax and yes, you do it yourself. It's not done automatically.
I have a question Mr Paul on A+ content, I did everything correctly but why is it that when I wanna submit for reviewing, it keeps telling me “Content Validation Failed” ?
It's an issue with the content you're trying to submit but impossible for me to say what bit of the content is causing an issue.
Thanks Paul very much 😊
I just want ask you about something
I got keywords from (All) but when I published my books 4 days ago now I can't find them
Be patient.
@@paulmarles thanks 😊
Hi Paul. Do you find that hard cover journals/notebooks are better sellers?
I find the soft covers sell more. But it will largely depend on the niche.
I simply do not understand the point of turning left side grey...
It was just so one could see the book cover as it appears on Amazon without the distraction of the back cover. Purely demonstration purposes and not meant to be some technique or method you should follow.

How is the graph paper possible
What do you mean - how is it possible?
@@paulmarles how did you insert the graph paper so easily? i used this idea for my niche as i already searched for nice background layers, i worked out it with a graph paper design website :D
I have at least 12 books on my Amazon kdp and still no sales
12 is not many. My advice is to create more. It's a creative business and takes time to learn all the skills to the point you can create products that customers want to buy.
hi Paul! how did you find the graph layer ?
I got that particular layer from Tangent Templates.
Green it's not a primary colour. It's made from blue+ yellow ; these are 2 primary colours. And red, too.
Not for paint, but for light green is a primary color along with red and blue. Hence why TVs and computer screens use RGB pixels (red, green blue).
That's for paint. RGB are the primary colors for screens.
the question has surely already been asked, but I would like to know if we can duplicate a book by only changing the cover and maybe the title? I've seen it on Amazon before but I'm not sure if it's legal.
It depends on the book. For notebooks and journals yes but for books such as puzzle books and coloring books it's unadvisable.
