What's the best way to take a few pages of the interiors for A+ content?

[@YourChicGeek]

Hello there! Are you asking how do you take pages from a book and add them to your A+ content?

[@montannadevane]

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm gonna start working on all of mine. Will customers see the A+ content when they view your book?

[@YourChicGeek]

Yes mam they will. Its gonna be under the “From the Publisher” section of your book. Best of luck

[@cosmoasisart]

Great video, thank you! I have followed your instructions and did everything, but my design looks blurry when I upload it. Original image files I use have very high resolution but it keeps appearing blurry.

[@YourChicGeek]

Hey there did you make sure to create your images with the recommended sizes for your A+ content?

[@5Bazile5]

Great video! Super helpful. One question: why do you download as PNG instead of JPEG?

[@YourChicGeek]

Hello there! I use PNG for my downloads because it gives me a transparent and clear background on images. If I used JPG you would see a white square background on the images which wouldnt have looked appealing on the pink color. So a rule of thumb to remember is when you are adding images and graphics to a background with color use PNG. For white backgrounds JPG images are fine because they will blend in with the background. Hope this helps!

Hello, thanks for the video, I'm struggling with the image quality being low when i upload it the KDP. Why is that, and how do i fix it? Thanks in advance

[@YourChicGeek]

Hello there! Some of my graphics come out kinda fuzzy too sometimes. One thing that you can do is maybe make the images a tad bit bigger and in the highest resolution possible when downloading from Canva.

[@pieterkotze6420]

@YourChicGeek thanks. I have tried that, though, and it doesn't make any difference. Some people get clear crisp imiges on their content while I've seen many people struggling with the same thing, maybe you can make a video about it as i can't find any useful help on this topic.

[@YourChicGeek]

@@pieterkotze6420 hmmm could be that they are using a different design program. Another one worth trying is Photopea. Its almost like Photoshop but its free to use.

Hey 1 question... Do you publish only prayer journal? If no.. Then standard company logo must be smthing that is compatible with rest of the books... Right?

[@YourChicGeek]

Hello there! Yes I publish more than one prayer journal but if you decide to do this be sure to niche down and create different prayer journals for different types of people. Its ok to use a standard logo for the same type of books as long as they are under the same "Pen" name in Amazon. I hope this helps!

[@findmeanewplanet]

Your image came out crisp and clean even when uploading into A+ content. My image is super blurry when I upload it into A+ content. I have a Canva Pro account and I tried uploading as a PNG & JPG, but neither of them gives me a clear image. I also tried deleting graphic elements to no avail, still blurry. How are your images coming out so clear during upload into A+?

[@YourChicGeek]

Hmmm I'm not sure. Are you using the correct dimensions for the A+ modules? Also I print my images in PNG format...instead of JPG not sure if that helps or not....

[@jennaishere]

Can you help me with or anyone help!? I have followed every step in this tutorial and when I get it uploaded to Amazon A+ content it instantly goes blurry ? The png downloads perfect but Amazon instantly blurs everything. What can I do to fix this !!? Please please help

[@YourChicGeek]

Hey there Jenna! The best advice that I can offer is to make your images double the required size in Canva. So if your A+ content module says 600 x 900, double the specifications to 1200 x 1800 and see if that helps. Best of luck

[@robinhart1390]

How do I take the same banner that I want to use on all my A+ contact and add it to a variety of low content books? Can I do that if I want to offer it with different style covers for instance, if I wanted to do a notebook with a plaid, a notebook with polkadots, a notebook with hearts? So the interior is the same on all my notebooks and they have different covers but I want them to show up in my A+. I know there’s a module where you can show your different covers and it will have a link for them to go to it.

[@YourChicGeek]

I believe that you can.

[@Talk-Wild]

When I download the design, the quality is very poor. Why?

[@YourChicGeek]

Hmmm Im not sure. I usually download mine as PNG files and they come out ok.
