Thank you for taking the work out of making A+ content. I have looked all over UA-cam for an easy way to create an interesting visual for my books. I am excited to dig into your mockup template course :)
Hey, Nuria. Perfect video just in the right time for me as I decided to finally dive into making A + content journey. Purchased your Mock-up Canva templates, tried them yesterday and absolutely LOVED THEM!!! In fact, I had soooooo much fun and creative juices burst that didn’t want to go to bed and could have easily stayed up all night 😁 Thank you so much for your help and knowledge. Big hugs and lots of KDP love from sunny Bournemouth UK 🇬🇧. Oxana xxx 😘👌🏼💝✨✨✨
Oh wow, thank you so much Oxana! I'm so happy you're enjoying the process and the templates! Keep me posted on your progress Oxana, big hugs from sunny South London!
@@TheHomeBoss , wow, south London!!! My husband’s family lives in Croydon, must be very close to where you are. Awwwww, it would be sooooo lovely to meet you in person one day. This wish is firmly in my Gratitude journal list 😍🙏💝. Very grateful for all your videos and your soothing voice!!!! Nuria, it is soooooo relaxing that I can just put your KDP videos instead of my Sleep guided meditation. LOL. It works the same way!!! 😉 Have a wonderful blessed weekend, my darling KDP sister and stay in touch. Xxx 🤗💐☀️
I have not used amazon ads yet but they had a webinar the other day which broke down how to run ads more efficiently. Going month by month. I never used the ad thing before but it was explained pretty well going month by month following reports keywords used. Also use of neg keywords to help lower cost and raise in sales. So people don't click not relevant for target audience. I thought of you talking about high price of ads a month. Their suggested is 10 a day. Im sure that's more a bottom line. I didn't know they had all these webinars. I got an email I would normally delete. Pretty good easy to understand. I bought one of my books to work on the text centering because their template is off been annoying. I figured it out by measuring it at home then putting new guides up. I'm erked by this but you guys might not be. But by doing that it helped my book get an external sale made best seller for hot min. Then it went away lol.
Thank you Nuria, great product, just got it and am using it now! I am a photoshop user, but was dreading having to take time to make this content, so I am happy to have this to jump start this process!!
@@TheHomeBoss I just made some content for earlier posted book, ( worked really easy) but I am confused as to where to add it in on my kdp book page, maybe you can add a short video to explain how to do that.
Your video came at the right time as I was browsing the mockup sites to search for my A+ Content materials. Your template pack has things that I've been looking for; my books are most in 8.5x8.5 inches, I'm not good with Photoshop & I love using Canva. Instant buy with the promo code! I'm already in Lesson 2 of your template tutorial..
Great video, thanks! I am interested in the templates, but my books are in different sizes, so I wonder if I could change your templates to fit the size that I need.
I'd love this mockup program - I do some things in Canva and also a lot of work in PowerPoint. Can I drop any JPEG properly sized whether designed in either program? I suspect so but want clarification please.
Hi Nuria, the A+ Content is more of a sales page, right? In addition to the Look Inside feature, which is randomly selected by AMZ. OMG, I so need a book mockup template! Thanks! I love the 3D effect as well. Do you think we need to watermark our internal images? Just asking that for anyone else who may worry about image theft. 😀
Hi Jennifer, the A+ Content is like a sales page, it lets you add more content so that you can entice your buyer. You can add anything you like to A+ content that you think will attract buyers, for example you can show the inside of your books, but you could also just add images and write some sales text to give more details about your book. People don't always read the description of your book but the A+ content is quite visual so that really helps to convert to sales. I wouldn't watermark images as that doesn't stop image theft and looks confusing to buyers.
It seems as the days go by, it's almost impossible for someone new in creative/graphic design, and Amazon kdp in general. Don't know if I can continue even though I want to . It's just too much to digest.
Hi Nuria hope you are well,thank you for this video. I done my first Amazon A+ content today and submitted it. I might consider it on my journals if they have an illustrated or colour interior but it took a long time getting all my mock up images to look good, I couldn’t do it for everything. What’s the deal with the join asin’s could you have one design for multiple books? This might be good for my composition books if it does.
You could have one design for multiple books but personally I would create unique designs. I know it's a pain but it's worth taking your time over it. Hope that helps.
@@TheHomeBoss thank you! I was thinking for my primary journals they have the same interior apart from the first couple of pages. And a mock up of the multiple cover designs. So I could mix up the typical boys & girls incase anyone is buying for siblings there would be a choice? What do you think? Just an idea as I said I’ve literally only just done my first campaign and it hasn’t even been approved yet 😅💕
Thank you so much for this product, really nice and well made. I spent hours yesterday to make my own "flat" mockup, with paint.net, so it will save me a lot of time. I really like the 3d effect you give to the interior, so my trouble is solved. Thank you for the discount too.
Hi Nuria, thank you so much for the mockup templates! I purchased them a couple days ago. I just had a question. I tried to use one of them in Canva. I put my own pictures and even my own background onto the templates, but when I try to download the png in Canva, it says "Your design contains premium content' and asks me to sign up for Canva Pro. Am I doing something wrong? Also, I wonder if anyone else had this issue. Please advise. Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply Dave, I only just saw your message. Do you have Canva Pro? I haven't come across this problem before, would you email me more details to info@thehomeboss.com and hopefully we can resolve this for you.
How do I add A+ content to books? Do we add the images to the description area? I've been trying to figure out where to add it and for some reason can't. Thank you!
This video I made might be helpful ua-cam.com/video/lXiQrD2YQ80/v-deo.html There are lots of UA-cam tutorials that explain more details, hope that helps.
Go to Marketing, A+ content. Not only can you add a nicely formatted description with images, but you can also show your other related books in a comparison table, so your customer sees your other offerings.
These are wonderful, I grabbed them and I know it is super easy to Resize in Canva for Pinterest, but I would not complain if you had Pinterest Templates for book promotion.
Thank you very much ma'am for such an informative video! It is really very helpful. I've two questions. 1) Can I use a brand name at the place of author's name while publishing a book? Can I create a brand and publish various books under the brand using different pen names? Actually I'm an individual and I don't have any publishing company. But can I use a brand name? 2) Can I use trademarked terms in seven keyword boxes? Please reply to my questions. Thank you in advance.
It's best to use a person's name as the author name. I used a brand name before but now they sometimes block brand names. You can't use trademarked terms in the seven keyword boxes, you would be risking your KDP account.
@homeboss tell me how can I check with an automatic advertising campaign which keywords does this campaign work for and which not? because this option is nowhere to be found with the automatic campaign.
Hi Nuria, I am embarking on writing low content books - very different from my full length books. Do you think it is wise to use a pen name for this new genre?
I would definitely differentiate it from your full length books' author name. I use several pen names for different types of books. Best of luck with your new enterprise!
@@TheHomeBoss i am still in the planning phase, can this be done with one kdp account? Or do you also have multiple accounts? Or jist multiple pen names
Hello Nuria, I am not sure that the A+ content shows on Mobile Phones or not.....I have looked up a couple of somebody else's books that supposedly had A+ content using my mobile phone and just like the (look inside feature) they were only available om desktop....I never done A+ content myself yet....can you debunk this myth for us please?? 😊 are you able to confirm that A+ content shows on mobile phones as in Amazon Apps also not exclusively on Desktop only?! Many thanks in advance 🙏
As far as I know, it does show on mobile apps, mine all show on the app. Check that you are checking in the correct Amazon country as A+ Content is market specific.
I really would like to try selling low content books. However, what type of computer or laptop should I get? I have no idea if I should go with 4GB or 8GB, how much storage capacity, gigahertz, gigabytes, etc. I can't afford an expensive laptop. Is there anyone that could help me with this? I don't know if I should go with Lenovo, Dell, HP ?
This is just my opinion but I always prefer a pc to a laptop. However, I know that lots of people use laptops for KDP so it's definitely an option. I would say get the best you can afford for your budget and then upgrade once you are earning some money from the business. I personally like Dell, but any of them are good as long as you have good storage as you will be storing lots of images and pdf documents. Maybe ask some advice in your computer shop? Let them know what you plan to do and they will be able to guide you. Let them know your budget. Best of luck!
Some people do it from their smartphone, no laptop! I think it all depends on what you plan on creating, but if you are just starting out then most laptops or pcs should work.
You don't need much regarding hardware requirements. You can use an older laptop (I run everything on an old Dell Latitude E7450) which is actually a real office PC. Got a used one for cheap and added a bit of memory (see the video on my channel). Sure, you need to store pictures and the pdf files (interiors) you upload, but that doesn't require too much space. A harddisk (or better a SSD) with 256 GB capacity is enough (if you get more, the better). Just give it a try - it is soooo easy. And doesn't require a big investment. Just use your brain and let the ideas flow ...
Should we do A+ content on every book we create, or would you recommend just doing this on one of your books that have generated a few sales? Just wondering if we should do this from the start or later. What would your advise be?
Because it takes time to create good A+ content, my advice is to make it for the books that are selling well for you or for books where you really want to showcase the interiors so that your buyers can really appreciate what they are buying.
If you want to really distinguish your books I would suggest you ALWAYS add A+ content. Why would you not? If you took the time to create a book wouldn’t you want to showcase it at it’s best? And if you have a series of books you can either create a template and reuse it in related books with changes, or even the same A+ content, which will help create a sense of brand and a standard look.
Thank for the amazing content.
Everyone who knows your work has a significant advantage over many publishers.
Brilliant Nuria! I bought your Easy Book Mockup Creator today and my problem with my book marketing is SOLVED!
Yay, thank you! So glad you find it helpful!

where do you get the background table to display your book cover and interior mockups? Thanks
Lovely. Thanks Nuria 😊

If they are the right size (the mockups are available in 3 sizes) then that should work regardless where the images were created.
