Create a Word Search Book for Amazon KDP Book Bolt Tutorial

[@mrsde22]

I would have loved to of showed start to finish however to format each page may be very dull to watch once you have done it a few times. However, I may do a live puzzle book creation soon so you can do a drop in Q&A at the same time. Please let me know if that would interest you? ❤❤

[@megan.ashford]

Just had my lunch and now sitting down to do this after watching your recording. Thanks Mrs De!

[@mrsde22]

Wonderful, I'm glad it inspired. You definitely do need to set aside some time to do this but royalties wise and also the chance of sales I think is higher so we'll worth it in my opinion!

I’m now starting so I will have to delegate some more tie for learning the spreadsheet etc Thank you.

[@mrsde22]

You can do it! The spreadsheet is just a case of copying and pasting if you just add in the right number of words you need at a time then you wouldn't need to worry about adding in additional lines. Good luck! 😊

[@mikestaite2537]

This is the most comprehensive and helpful step by step instruction I have found to use Book Bolt worsearch facility. Thank you Mrs De, much appreciated. This is all new to me so I look forward to your future Book Bolt training videos .

[@mrsde22]

Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. I have a Book Bolt playlist that has many more tutorials, if you find that there are other books that you would like tutorials on then please let me know.

[@mokhtarhariri]

Thank you very much

[@mrsde22]

You are welcome😊

[@THEJ.D.NETWORK]

You should tell us how to do the copying of the puzzle1. I heard you fingers moving on the keyboard but I couldn't tell what you did to copy.

[@mrsde22]

Sorry on a chrome book or windows I hit Ctrl + C and to paste Ctrl + V. I do not speak Apple so not too sure if your using a Mac which buttons would be pressed.

[@monbrat3064]

so grateful this new subbie now

[@mrsde22]

Thanks for your support 😊

[@nesrinhacioglu3519]

Hello Mrs.De, thank you for your video. I have a question, Book Bolt could create the word search solve or not?

[@mrsde22]

Hi, thanks for your question. You need to put all of your words into an excel document and then upload it as a file on the wordsearch pages. It will then put the words in the puzzles and give resolution pages.

[@nesrinhacioglu3519]

@@mrsde22 Thank you very much!

[@ladyrob4110]

Again, please explain how you save your words.

[@MrScall35]

Great tutorial. Thanks! I'm following along as I do my own word search, but when I put a border around the edges on page 1 then select clone page, all the other page borders don't sit in the same position as the border on page 1. Doing my head in 🙂

[@mrsde22]

Oh good I'm glad it was helpful. That is strange that the border would not be in the same position. If you reach out to Book Bolt support they are really helpful and maybe able to give some additional guidance. Good luck!

Amigo quería hacerte una pregunta porque digamos si hago un sopa o qieiro hacerlo de 195 páginas en algunas salen bien le puse 9 por página y en algunos salen hasta 10 o 12 haciendo qué se vea mal ya intente de muchas formas pero sigue el problema sabrás a que se deba agradecería mucho la ayuda llevo 1 día perdido intentando hacer y no logro saber que es lo que pasa podrías ayudarme agradecería mucho por favor😢

[@mrsde22]

Hi thanks for your message. I'm not certain that I have got the full extent of the question due to translate but when you upload your CSV file there is a box that asks if you want them to auto fill if there is an error in your document. It would be worth double checking the CSV and if that box is checked. I hope that helps.

[@benpokharel1197]

When I create my pages of the word search only they word search comes and no hints like you had at the bottom why is this?

[@mrsde22]

When you uploaded did it give you the font options? Also did the CSV file upload correctly?

[@ivanasantos3512]

Hello, I'm watching this tutorial and trying to create my first wordsearch book. It's a wonderful tutorial, thanks. :) I've got 2 questions, if you don't mind me asking them. :) 1) Chat CPT only creates 150-200 words at a time, if I ask it to create more i'ts only 150 words again, and repeated words. How did you manage to have those 2500 words? 2) I did exactly as you explained, but my first page 1(odd) got a puzzle as well. According to your video it should be for introducing the book. I deleted the puzzle and did the first page as you did. Will I have further problems because I deleted 1 of the puzzles? Thank you in advance :)

[@mrsde22]

Thank you, so in order to get more words that are different I used the regenerate button. Or typed please can I have more words that are different. You could also be more specific. My book was about the Bible so for example I could ask for 100 single words from a particular Gospel. The smaller and more specific your task is the better your results will be. I would also say if there is the odd word repeated that does not matter as long as it is not repetitive. With regards to the title page that is up to you it is not necessary but I do think it's a nice touch. Taking out 1 or 2 pages will not matter as that will not affect the cover size but it could make a difference if you removed a lot. It is very easy to add in new pages as well. Good luck with your puzzle book.

[@Laikina_Art]

Thanks for the video. I tried to make a book with word search puzzles in Bookbolt. It turned out that depending on the length of the words this service decides the size of the grid itself. I set it up to have 20 words in each puzzle. As a result, Bookbolt generated a different number of rows and columns in each puzzle! I got so that out of 50 pages, part of it was 15*15, another part 16*16 and even 1 puzzle came out 20*20! (I contacted Bookbolt technical support and they confirmed that I cannot set the grid size on my end, the program does it automatically.) How do the buyers of the book feel about that? How do you overcome such difficulties? Thank you

[@mrsde22]

Personally I have never had any complaints from customers and the way I combat this is by grouping the sizes together. So for example you could put your 15x15 as easy, 16x16 as medium and 20x20 as hard. I do not think this will affect your reviews and purchases to date is has not affected mine. Good luck.

[@rebekahlee6730]

After I create/produce my puzzle, how do I make the puzzle to a paperback so I can sell it on Amazon? It seems like a lot of people shows the content. There are tons of videos on that. I get the pdf. But who produce these paperback using my puzzle?

[@mrsde22]

Hi, thanks for your comment thus video here will show you how to upload onto Amazon KDP it's super simple and a great way to make some extra money kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLWk56Pg5ugedE

[@aandjmom1]

do you not recommend colors interiors for KdP word search? I created a 50 page colored word search ( red solutions too ) before i realized no one seems to do that. thanks in advance

[@mrsde22]

You can, however this will really eat into your profit margin and personally if your only using it for solutions I would not bother. If you pop into any newsagents and pick up a puzzle book the insides are usually always black and white. I think there is a market for colour but I would go far more premium in that case and use colour throughout and charge that much more for it. In order to market it as high end ensure your branding and A+ Content reflects this.

[@aandjmom1]

@@mrsde22 thanks. I'm in the process of re-saving all 100 pages to black and white. thank soooo much! ( first word search)

[@karenmoldenhauer5870]

What is the name of that thing that you used to generate those words

[@mrsde22]

It's called Chat GPT. If you do a Google search for it the website is called openai and then you access GPT through that. This is just one way you can use Chat GPT but there are so many possibilities.

[@aandjmom1]

@@mrsde22 I LOVE chat gpt! Hint: ask for SINGLE WORDS on a particular topic. and ask for 2-3 more words than you need for options, just in case. IE Easter "bunny" words then Easter "church service" words. I rarely got duplicates. hope it helps someone.

[@mrsde22]

@@aandjmom1 fab thanks for this. Will try this on my next one!

[@shoppersdream]

Nice, thanks! Quick Question, please? Are your 1200 words Unique words or does it include duplicates as well? Second, I thought that you said you will use 25 words but I don't believe you used 25 words. How did you come to 50 Puzzles when you have 1200 words? Should we always have more words than we need? Thanks

[@mrsde22]

Hi, I started to get duplicate words due to Chat GPT not generating one full list which is why I reduced the number to reduce the duplicate words. I think I said it in the video but what I would do if I was going to sell this particular book would be to generate each wordsearch separately. So I would ask for 25 words based on a more specific thing. Such as a particular verse of the Bible in this situation it would then also give you a better title than numbering the puzzles. I am thinking to do a live video quite soon where I will create a bumper puzzle book so that you can see a more unedited version and not sped up at all so it can be viewed in real time and questions can be asked as they come up.

[@shoppersdream]

@@mrsde22Thank you! Chat GPT gives a lot of duplicates. You should make all videos on Puzzles. So far, I have made Sudoku and Maze only. Today, I will work on Word Search. Thanks

[@mrsde22]

Make sure you dedicate a really good amount of time to make it great I would say wordsearches do take the longest in terms of the page formatting.

[@shoppersdream]

@@mrsde22Yes, Ma'am! Thanks

[@kaylahilliard8590]

When it's time for me to upload the file, I get a message saying, "File has an incorrect extension". I tried so many things and it won't go through. Any Suggestions?

[@mrsde22]

How are you downloading it? Are you downloading from Bookbolt if so it'll be a zip file so you need to upload the cover and interior separately.

[@davidhasting2539]

Have you ever thought about making a Solution at the halfway point that follows the puzzles? I use it on Sudoku ones and instead of having to list every page saying solution is on x page I have the first part of the book page 1-X. Then after the Solution page I use page 1-X again for the back half so both the puzzle and solution have the same page number.
