Paul Marles is literally the best channel on youtube!! "kdp is dead, kdp is oversaturated" people say...but me, as a stay at home mom who put 10 books on kdp last month....3 of my books have started selling slowly...one of my books just sold 3 organic copies this week.....wow!!!! God is good......im so excited for the future
I truly believe there's enough to go around there is so many mum's dad's grandparents teachers stay home parents home school all around the world that need to write it down! sure ppl want to use phones n tablets but as a mom of twins no matter how many times I put it in my phone I need to write it to remember! Paul chap your brilliant! It's like going to my dad or uncle for life advice! 💓💓Love you both!
I must credit you for how well you actually set that interview up, very good sound and display in fact better than professional news channels. I just long for the day I have a sale or sales every day instead of stops and starts. Last month it started to happen each day then the last week it stopped again. It is so disappointing and I cannot imagine how it must feel to sell hundreds of books each day.
Thank you. I know it can be frustrating at the beginning but if you continue to create and push through, sales will gradually grow and become more frequent.
I started watching your videos on low content books . I feel so excited. I am hearing all this first time . I am a stay at home mom . I also want to do something and make money . Hope to get help from your videos . Thank you very much .
All book sales die off unless you are in bookstores everywhere and have a big name, so don't worry. I always research my books, including keywords and category sellers, and I find it helps to have a lot of training in areas like book design, marketing, and author brand. Make your passion more saleable is my motto.
This interview recharged me. Really therapeutic. Especially good to hear the speed bumps that the super successful publishers hit. Made me get to my office and get going. Thanks Paul.
This is my first comment on a youtube video. But I really wanted to thank you for all your precious advices you gave in all your videos. I get my first sell on 12th December. I published this book on 10th December and I get my first sell within two days. I have some experience in graphic designing so I designed my book cover very well and I followed all your seo tips. Thank you again for all your precious advises. I want to request you to tell us top 10 niches for 2022. I'm not a native english speaker so sorry for my bad grammar.
I just launched my first adult coloring book after watching your videos. I am competitive in anything, but as an artist who suffered a lot of recent, personal traumas I decided to design this book as an expression but also to entertain the colorist with inspirational quotes, and affirmatios with great illustrations and designs. All the little things I told myself to stay the course. I am proud of it, and it was quite the undertaking. I would love your feedback. It would make my year. I am a tough chic so don't hold back, i want the tips and suggestions.... as long as its constructive, ,lol The book is; 'Simply Color' with inspirational quotes & Awesome Affirmatios. i am the author and creator Thanks for all you do.. sold several day1
Paul, for the future, please could you have the camera on the close-up of a good cover so we can learn visually the skills and important points of good covers. For example, your guest today, he had a gteat cover for his tracing book but we only saw a quick glimpse of his book.
Great video. On my own journey. Working on finishing second book writing 3rd book while marketing the first book. Its work but so much fun! We make $18 this week lol. Its not much but its so cool to think someone brought our book and getting the feedback of people purchasing and enjoying the book!
Keep at it I've released my second and I'll be looking to find someone to work on my marketing while I focus on my writing. Videos like this actually hurt Amazon, not help it
You two are my mentors I’m gonna figure this out until I make a regular + income at home while watching all my kids! I’m two and a half months in, and I see my efforts paying off! Thanks for all the great content!
Thank you guys. Really enjoyed this, always good to hear from people that struggle then do well. I'm grateful to you both for this video. It's hard to keep motivated those first few months if you're struggling to make sales like i am.
Yeah, it's always good to remind yourself people have to go through failures to reach success that's apart of the process! Keep going guys, failures means you are trying
Finding a niche that has meaning to you and turning it into a passion project is my best advice! I know I’m in a very small percentage that started their KDP side gig and went viral right away translating to thousands in sales, but it really just comes down to making a product that will help a community of people and MARKETING IT!!! Do not listen to the nay sayers that it is “over saturated” there’s always new niches!
Fascinating, super useful information. Just starting on KDP but something I have wanted to do for ages. Certain I will make many mistakes, but it is good to move over and do other things other than just endless (hopefully) useful YT videos etc. Loved about speaker events, that is something to aim for as well.
Could you make a full tutorial for beginners showcasing all the steps to start Amazon KDP? A video of at least 1 hour would be great so that we can get some details, but of course still very basic and not specific.
PS. I learned something I don't think most of us know. That is that a customer can not leave a review for a book if they have not spent $50+ in the last 6 months on Amazon! I found this out after getting emails saying that they were unable to leave my book a review. This is a fact. I think it is hogwash and I just couldn't believe it when I found out
@@paulmarles yea, & I promise it's not a rumor. I actually had someone show me the exact message they got saying they could not leave a review bcuz of the $. I understand that they want to make sure that reviews have integrity but I don't agree with their method. I guess I was kinda venting lol sorry ;) but still good info to have.
i did a research on kdp to find a good nich im a beginner i end up with a nich that have 56 of noncontent book is it a good or bad one ???? do i hv a chance to make sales or no ????
I’ve done everything you have said I have made so many lo con tent books and none of them are being seen I’ve tried to use the right category the right niche and they’re not being sold I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong
Great content as ever. I stumbled upon Romney the other day and found his journey very reassuring (as somebody now coming into month 4 and still figuring things out ). Very important to appreciate that this is a long-term business, not something to just try to jump into and exploit - as that's a sure path to failure. Thanks guys, very good interview, useful insights.
So all the books we create. Hundreds in Romney's case and Thousands in your case Paul... Are we all on the hook to continually keep the ads going for the life of our books? Or are some niches just a launch and then after X period of time you don't need to advertise as much? In other niches, you just have to continually keep advertising. Other niches it's another criterion required for advertising.
The answer is - it depends - on what results you get from advertising. The aim is to get a good organic ranking and then stop the ad. That's my aim at least.
Great video. Alot of good little jewels in there to make a note of. I appreciate your videos. I have been a kind of student of yours from the beginning a Lil over a year ago. You have been right about many things but I wanted to say your especially right about aquiring other skills. A yr ago I would have laughed if someone told me I'd self teach myself graphic design skills that I would get paid $55+ a hour for! Anyhow, I also ❤️ the accents;) best wishes!
Great video 👍 thanks guys, it's nice to hear that there is very minimal sales for the first few months and it is a waiting game. Like you said in the video it's all exciting and impatients kicks in 🤣.
🤔 I can really now be the person that you might be taking about my covers yes I think it's good but surely that's not good at all. Thanks atlrast now I know try again and recreate

You go girl! ♥️✨

Romney taught me the basics on SkillShare...and always is kind with my constant questions!
That's great. He's a very helpful chap.

Wow! That's great - sales after only 2 days!! You must have very good graphic design skills. Thank you for sharing.
I think your grammar was very good. Congratulations on your success. You must be a very talented artist!
I have been scribbling ideas for days now since watching one of your videos! I'm so excited to finally get started!
Salam,
A Big Thanks to Mr Paul and Mr Romney.
Thank you. 🙏

Congratulaciones Paul. 100k followers!!! 🥳🎊
Thank you. Couldn’t have got there without you guys.
Paul, for the future, please could you have the camera on the close-up of a good cover so we can learn visually the skills and important points of good covers. For example, your guest today, he had a gteat cover for his tracing book but we only saw a quick glimpse of his book.
You could always pause the video.
Great video. On my own journey. Working on finishing second book writing 3rd book while marketing the first book. Its work but so much fun! We make $18 this week lol. Its not much but its so cool to think someone brought our book and getting the feedback of people purchasing and enjoying the book!
Congrats and continued success.
Congratulations! Hope you build on those sales with your next books.
$18 is amazing!!!! imagine as your book gets more and more sales, your income with that book will hopefully grow and continue for years to come!!!
Keep at it I've released my second and I'll be looking to find someone to work on my marketing while I focus on my writing. Videos like this actually hurt Amazon, not help it
You two are my mentors I’m gonna figure this out until I make a regular + income at home while watching all my kids! I’m two and a half months in, and I see my efforts paying off! Thanks for all the great content!
That's great to hear. Well done!
Keep at it! 💖
The video, make me excited to publish more and more books low content thanks
That's great. Glad it's inspired you. 👍

True. Same here.

Great advice. Thank you.
Any proof you made money with kdp?
Fascinating, super useful information. Just starting on KDP but something I have wanted to do for ages. Certain I will make many mistakes, but it is good to move over and do other things other than just endless (hopefully) useful YT videos etc. Loved about speaker events, that is something to aim for as well.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Two of my fav youtubers !
Thank you. 👍
Great video! Thank you 🙏🏻

Sounds like a course. Watch this space.
So expansive and encouraging- thinking beyond where we start. Love these collaborations between these two masters vThanks so much☕️☕️
Thank you. Glad you found it useful.
So true it took me awhile to start get sales. I start out in April and my first sale started in May. It takes patients trust me. And I never run ads.
Awesome and congrats. Continued success.
@@wealthconsciouslifestyle5245 Thank you.
So what I heard is that when you got out of your own way…. Same here
Thank you are the beast
Thank you. 🙏

I know a couple who make $15,000 after five months!
I already puplish 5 book from jun but I do not get any sales💔
5 is a very low number. Keep publishing.
@@paulmarles How many books should I publish to start getting sales?
I’m just getting started. Can you have books with the same interior but different covers?
Yes, you can.
Sir do u recommend to make a kdp account in Q4? Or i have to wait for Q1? As amazon is too busy in Q4...
It will make no difference.
Awesome collab. I subscribe to you both. Great to see yall coming together and sharing the knowledge.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much. So lovely to see you both together . Does either of you offer a training program?
Thank you. I know Romney has a course.
i did a research on kdp to find a good nich im a beginner i end up with a nich that have 56 of noncontent book is it a good or bad one ???? do i hv a chance to make sales or no ????
Yes, you have a chance but you'll never find out if you don't take a risk and try.
Wow that's wonderful thank you very much
You're welcome. 👍
Thank you Paul for sharing this information. I always learn a lot through your channel
