Thank for being truthful! No matter what any of us do it always requires dedication to making things happen!
Working on writing, illustrating and self publishing my first children’s book! I am diving into Facebook for promoting my book. Also using Linkedin and I created a website. I am looking into using Pinterest for marketing as well. I feel like the marketing and promoting of my book is almost more work than my actual book! lol 😂 But I’m enjoying all of it! Great video! Thanks and God bless!
As a first time author, learning the hard way, it is all about marketing. Very tough for new comers
Kdp is great but anyone self publishing better be prepared to either do advertising on Amazon and or have multiple social media outlets for advertising or your book will just sit there, lost in a sea of books on Amazon.
What do you mean with "multiple outlets"?
@@SvenGeorgiev meaning you better be prepared to run multi social media pages promoting yourself and your books. Some people going into this think they just hit publish on kdp and their work is done. Just like anything else in life this takes actual work and knowledge beyond writing a book. I think it’s a great way to go but too many people gripe and complain about not making any sales….
@@SvenGeorgiev KDP is one outlet. Ingramspark, Google Books, Draft2digital are all outlets that will print and sell your book and eBooks just like Amazon but if you use an Amazon "Free" ISBN you can't use it outside of Amazon so you're stuck only on Amazon. The other outlets are typically higher cost to print your books and less royalties given to you than Amazon but they sell to schools, universities, and other stores that Amazon doesn't. Amazon isn't the only place you can self-publish books. Plus what she said above. Once your book is out there you need to get people to see it. That's where advertising comes into play. You have to promote your book in some way and get people to give reviews. Advertise on Amazon, Tiktoc and other social media platforms to get your book seen. If people don't see it, people can't buy it.
Absolutley. K m just getting started but Social Media will be my focus
@@christian5707 Also paid ads!
Am interested in this topic. Thank you!
This information is very useful
nice video...🥰🥰🥰
Thanks a lot
Is the Hand Drawn mazes and the Mazes software the same thing? Should I buy one or the other not both?
Hi caroline, do you have a platform where I can ask you more questions about KDP. Ive launched a couple of coloring books and was just wanting to get connected and talk about ads and keywords and formats and all that kdp stuff
I have a question, which you might take up as a subject for a new video. Which is better: Creating a 101 Dogs Coloring Book with about 200 pages for $11.95 OR creating a Dogs Coloring Book with 50 coloring pages for $6-7 bucks? Does one sell better than the other? How does pricing and page count go together for a better selling book with everything else being equal, like the cover, etc.? OR, isn't there a real, direct association/correlation? IF you've done a video about this, can you put the link in a reply? THANKS
I have so many questions. I haven’t even set up an account for Amazon KDP but I’ve had a person tell me I can’t use fonts on my book that I have apps for on my iPad. Is that true that I can’t use my app that is called “Title” to use for my books fonts? Or does KDP offer fonts? Also I applied for a trademark for the name of my book/characters. But that can take up to a year to get it and I am told I might NOT get it but do I wait until I get the trademark or can I go ahead and publish anyhow? And lastly, for now, can I use KDP on an iPad? I haven’t touched a computer in years so I’m hoping to use my iPad. I did a “test” book on snapfish which came out really nice and I did part of that on my iPad and part on a friends computer. What I have on my iPad is the pages in a photo format so , not knowing how KDP works, I wonder if I can just put my photo pages in place, fonts and all.
GOD bless! I was thinking of uploading a book on KTP but all of a sudden I feel hesitant because of the things that I’ve been reading that Amazon is doing some of the owners of books in there. Terminating their accounts, and keeping the royalties for example; not explaining why the account was terminated, or lowering the price of the book without any warning. My book 100% original, and I have not used at all AI because it’s a book about The HOLY SPIRIT. So have you seen accounts being terminated by Amazon in a regular basis?
Can you explain about pens names? I talked with KDP Support and they said if you use a Brand Name it has to be also on your application form and bank account. Are Pen Names different than Brand Names?
They are different. You make an account with your real name and personal info. When you upload a book, you put either your real name or a pen name in the author section. A brand name is not the same as a pen name.
@@leannaMA Thanks!
I was wondering if you can publish the same book on Amazon and another company like LULU?
Yes, although you have to see the ISBN. I'm not sure if Lulu gives you a free ISBN like KDP does.
High demand low competition rule
Do you consult 1:1 if so please let me know 🙏 I have a very marketable 75,000 word non-fiction narrative. In the realm of spiritual health, self-improvement, psychology, social justice.
I got a KDP termination email and I have NO idea why. I'm wondering: IF someone knew you were selling books on Amazon and they wanted to cause you trouble, COULD they open an account, with an invented email and YOUR name, so you would have two accounts open, even though you don't know about it, and THAT'S why you got terminated?
They would have to know your social security number and bank account info. Two accounts with these two things matching would throw up a flag.
