Great tutorial, I am wondering what is the size from the top of the paper to first line. Thanks.

[@NiaG2013]

Hi darling! I did a cover the other day under Canva's new change of having a choice between RGB and CMYK. Have you made anything through Canva recently? If so, are you downloading your PDFs as RGB or CMYK? I downloaded mine as CMYK and the preview pic of it on KDP doesn't look like how my printout from my home printer looked. I've ordered a copy to myself but I'm still waiting to receive it. I thought I'd ask you to get your opinion.

[@prasadchaitanya4878]

Hey I have a question about creating notebooks on kdp

[@jalpatel6301]

Hello, aren't the notebook hard to open because Amazon binding is as such that it doesn't lay flat?

[@lidiatorresprado]

Great video, but what about that vertical line on the page? It suppose this line has to change depending on the page, to the right and to the left, and how can we add cute chibi designs on the corners to make it more interesting, I added cute designs on the corners but for some reason kdp did not accept the file any suggestion?

Hello.good job! I just want to ask you if the extra inches you've mentioned in the bleed apply to every types of books?

[@louisd95714]

Hi, thank you for the overview. May I kindly ask you why don't you use BookBolt instead? Apparantly it takes care of much of the work. I'm asking not to suggest tit o you, but asking in case if there's a reason you're not fond of for using BookBolt.

I have not checked your page yet; however, how can I use HD pictures I have taken with my DSLR and turn them into composition notebook covers

[@alessandrobaracco7016]

Ciao! Da poco ti seguo e mi hai animato a provare in kdp, e ora sto tentando di entrare in merch, ho gia ricevuto un rifiuto in merito, ! Una cosa volevo chiederti, una volta che ho pubblicato i primi libri in kdp, non devo fare piu nulla e aspettare le prime vendite oppure devo pomparli con pubblicità? 💪🏻 grazie per tutti i consigli

[@tanzduwe9931]

Great job! I am a big fan. I have to seek your videos out for clarity. For this last video; the simple composition book, kind of got confused on spacing between the horizontal lines. Your audio says 0.8 of an inch but the visual I see when you let off on shift+alt is 0.28 of an inch. Is there a better way to create these lines and align them? A little design challenged.

[@PodHustle]

It’s 0.28 inches as shown in the video. Unfortunately, there’s no alternative way to space elements, other than using that feature. It’s quite easy though. Click on the element, drag it down pressing alt+shif, until you see 0.28. Then, without clicking the mouse or touching anything on the keyboard, you duplicate that last action, by clicking crtl+D as many times as you need.

[@tanzduwe9931]

@@PodHustle Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's all very clear now. Great job as usual.

[@saharatopia]

Hi I'm a newbie to Amazon Kdp, this may sound like a stupid question but if I wanted to make a Hardcover version of the 8.5 x 11 Paperback, do I also need to add 0.125 and 0.25 to 8.25 x 11

[@NiaG2013]

Hi I'm a big fan! I had a question. When you create your pages do you have to flip them so your vertical line faces the outer edge when printed on the back side of each page? Or does KDP automatically do it?

[@PodHustle]

THANK YOU NIA! No, don't do that. KDP will automatically do that. The layout stays the same for every page. The only case in which you have to create a different layout, it is when left and right pages should look different (symetrical, for example). In my case, left and right should look the same (the vertical line serves as a starting point for your handwriting, so it should always be placed on the left side of the page, both on the left and right ones), so I haven't made any changes. But in some other books (especially planners), you have a different layout for left/right pages. Always take a look at what other high-rated books have inside, just like I did.

[@NiaG2013]

@@PodHustle Yikes! So far I've only done one book (my beginners notebook). It was a graph paper notebook. I flipped the "back page" (every othet pg) so it would be symmetrical to its front. I probably messed that up. I'm so glad I watched your video because I started to skip it thinking I didn't need it.

And thanks for your reply! 😊

[@ahmedhassan-xv5ei]

pleas when i do this size in canva 8.625 × 11.25 when mack cover i do the same size?

[@jbello9398]

Quick question, when I upload the notebook on KDP, is it considered a hard cover or paper back cover? Thanks I appreciate it.

[@riverrat_uk]

this is how you want it made, paper as the front and back is paper thin, hard copy is like a very old book like 8mm thick

[@zainabezzy7396]

Hi.. Margins confuse me a lot.. Can you plz clarify that instead of adding 1.25" n 0.25" to our with bleed page Margins n making the page size bigger can't we simply leave it the original size that we want n stay within 0.375" margins?? Because when we want to create an 8.5 by 11" book n add 0.125 n 0.25 to the margins n then when we select our book size which we want 8.5 by 11 while uploading it says interior doesn't match. So should we add extra or not is a big confusion.. Would highly appreciate if you could explain that Thank you

[@PodHustle]

If you need bleed, you have to add those extra inches. When you’re uploading your book, make sure you select both the right trim size AND bleed.

[@queenietruth6169]

how to copy both lines at the same time because i press ctrl D and the measurement between the copy lines aren't 0.28

[@jacobh1114]

Is creating a book cover and interior on canva wrong because you can't get 300 DPI? When I save the image the resolution is 72 pixels per inch.

[@private7419]

What about the vertical line (top and bottom) or the horizontal lines (left and right)? They're outside the margins. Will that cause a problem with Amazon? Why is it only the bottom horizontal lines that are an issue?

[@PodHustle]

Cause in the example I made, the bottom line was COMPLETELY outside of the margins. The other lines are out inside and outside. So the rule is: an element can stretch to the end of the page (outside the margins) AS LONG AS the same element has a part inside the safe area. Hope I made myself clear. It’s easier done than said, once you’ve got it.

On a different topic, while the Helium 10 extension for Chrome is free, it only works if you already have a Helium 10 subscription, correct?

[@PodHustle]

No, it works even without any subscription. If I recall correctly you have to create a free account on helium 10.

[@simonamassera9044]

ciao, grazie per il video. Vorrei chiederti un chiarimento: come mai nel valutare ciò che potrebbe dare problemi in sede di upload del pdf consideri solo ciò che sborda dal margine di sotto? Le righe orizzontali che sbordano dal margini verticali a destra e sinistra non creano lo stesso problema? Cioè anche loro fuoriescono dal margine... grazie per l'aiuto che vorrai darmi!
