First payment came through for my book. I thought it was absolute garbage, but I paid for some SEO promotion consultant to market the book (tagging the book and then finding web pages using that terminology). $76,535.21 Not even a full month. I used AI for inspiration and creative blocks because if the copyrighting lawsuits go through against the AI creators, it could mean having to repay any royalties to the source that the AI used to create your book.

[@zirasky6428]

I subscribed because you're definitely honest and helpful.

[@Alma1952ful]

Thanks, this has been most helpful!! I have a question. I already submitted a hardcover, and it's published. Do I have to change the format for paperback?

[@thechicgrandma]

Thank you, Sean!😀

[@christianemichelberger8245]

Thank you so much for this video, I formatted my book following your instructions. When I uploaded it to Facebook though, a problem arose. The fonts hadn't been embodied so Amazon embedded them, which led to quite a derangement of my formatting. I have Word 2016 and don't have the option link in the "File" tab.

[@victorkrottner3818]

You mention the discounted price for original release. How do you change this price to the final price and when can you make this change? Thank you.

[@augustmosco]

Does the publication have to be in a 5"x7" format?

Hi Sean, your video has been so informative, very helpful. I have uploaded my book to KDP however not yet published as I need to make some changes. How to I edit this or do I have to delete (how) completely and start again?

Hi Sean ! When it comes to paperback book cover should I upload the front cover only or the back cover as well? If I don't upload the back cover what kind of cover is Amazon going to use?

[@Sh3m0ves]

Thanks for this vid. Hey, I have a couple of questions about the measurements of an ebook. I looked at the cover calculator and it only shows paperback or hardcover. Is it the same concept for an ebook? I chose an 8.5 x 11 for the manuscript size, but I'm not sure how that works with a front and back cover. Do I need to make pages for them in my manuscript?? Any suggestions would be a HUGE help. Thanks so much!

[@jamesde7056]

This is a clear, concise presentation, however, it does not show specifically how to upload the file. Does one drag the file from the desktop to upload?

[@hristinatacheva4518]

Hi Sean, I've been using Amazon KDP for a while now and publishing notebooks, journals, and gamebooks. I really like the options which Amazon offer! But I have a problem that I don't know how to solve. Only the covers are published, but there is no "Look Inside the Book", which I really need for customers to see the content and buy the product. How can pages from the body of the publication be displayed and not just the covers? Thank you for your attention

[@printadventure1]

I'm not sure if there's any other way but you can also show what's inside by adding A+ Content. It will show up lower on the page but at least it's better than nothing.

[@TammyTravelsTheWorld]

I'm new, but I just watched another creator discuss this. They said that Amazon has recently changed the "Look Inside" feature and will no longer be doing it for low content paperbacks. I cannot confirm, but it was on a recent KDP tutorial I viewed today. Just wanted to share. Best of luck on your books!

Also, I am requesting a license to quote directly from another book using PLSclear service and they are asking for the publisher and the selling price so the publisher, KDP I suppose, so they can add the permissions.

Once all approved I previewed the book in the preview launcher. Graphics and content all looked good. The problem I see is my book title at the top of the page had a typo in it. Is this a glitch on amazons end since all my title info is correct in the eBook detail section?
