Hardcover seems to be throwing a lot of errors when uploading interiors so really make sure that everything is properly aligned if you are creating your interiors yourself.

[@salehalhabib376]

Yes, I tried it today and it took a lot to upload and then showed me some errors to fix then again lots of time to upload I guess I have a connection issues 😭

[@andreeamariapetrache7712]

@@paulmarles okay thank so much sir, I hope I would be able to have or search them out. Pls once more, Amazon royalty check Threshold for non US authors is $100. But now they permit Payoneer for same authors, the Payoneer cash out Threshold is $1000. Is there any advice u can give since this has become like jumping out of the frying pot into the fire.

Thanks paul. One quick question. I'm doing a coloring book planning to do same content interior as 2 different covers one size 8.5 11 another different size book.. is amazon ok with it or its duplicate content violation ?

[@waltercloud59]

thx paul

[@tammyhodges4447]

Thanks for keeping the great info coming. I have a question: if the printing cost is $7 (rounding up) and the minimum cost we have to charge the customer is $12, why is our royalty $2? Where is the $5 from the 12-7? Thanks!

Hi could you do another tutorial on how to use affinity designer for kdp, like setting up your cover ? I feel I’d rather buy affinity than purchase Canva pro, I think it would be more useful but lack skills !

Your channel is very great again! Question: with wich software do you organise the interrior of your books? I found I got a lot of issue when doing it with tangent template.

[@rmd9250]

I used the template entered the Dimensions correctly but when I go to preview my upload I get an error “image is outside boundaries” it’s not?? The background is but it’s just like you have it??

[@paulmarles]

Is it within the margins?

[@abigailcairns6639]

This is amazing and really helpful! But I Have one question. Are we able to have more than one book in review or just one at a time? I've been wondering because my first book has been in review for quite a while. Thanks for everything.

[@paulmarles]

Yes, you can have more than one book in review at a time.

[@abigailcairns6639]

@@paulmarles Awesome, thank you!

[@AL6198]

Some people use an upload lister (like in Bookbolt) and upload many books all at once.

[@haniyamohideen5968]

Thanks so much Paul. As always this video also very informative 👌. Please teach us how to add more pages in Look inside section when publishing kdp books. Because I would like to show first 5 or 6 pages. But I don't know how to add this.

[@paulmarles]

You can’t. The only thing I could suggest is contacting KDP support.

[@havefun7992]

its very simple just go to help section then click on contact us then Amazon Store & Product Detail Page , after that you will find look inside option and click email us you will find a message to send and chose the percentage that you want to be shown for customers

Anyone here gets an error of uploading hardcover that the pdf print can't fit the format when looked in preview? It works well on paperback, but when I move to hardcover 6x9, it always has an error of uploading the cover.

Did you change the size of your cover template for the hardcover book?

Hi, Paul~ I am an artist and wondering if the journals can be formatted in *acid-free paper* and specified for a certain weight of paper for unlined sketchbook journals, *e.g. 98lb/160 gsm (a Mixed Media weight)* Thanks for your tutorials!

[@AL6198]

Right... I printed my first business brochure over 30 years ago on kenaf paper, but nobody seems to care anymore!

[@irenekarava]

Paul Greetings...I hope u read this I need your help if possible...I download from .Gumroad ' a pdf file for the lined pages...for some reason Canvan won't accept it...there is drop menu that comes up saying that it either has to be JPG etc...I don't understand and very confused...so excited to start on this and everthying goes wrong...Oh well if you can help me would appreciate it..💝

Check the page count if it’s more then 100 pages it won’t load it

[@Samanthaduchessdeath]

Do you have your marketplace set to Australia or America? Does it matter because it's worldwide?

[@bpnoalarm]

Can I add a cover page? Or will that change the cost?

[@jenniferbell5512]

I published a journal, but the inside is not lined paper…how do I get a picture of the inside to my published page?

[@TeeHarley]

after 7 days you can add the "Look inside" link

[@rdhm4513]

Thank you so much . Could i use hardcover in composition notebook

[@bpnoalarm]

You can but if you're using the traditional composition notebook size, I think it'll be pretty expensive. The 6x9 hardcover is already over $6 so if you want to sell a larger one, it could turn into a $20 notebook.

[@rdhm4513]

Thanks. Yes it's more expensive. Lowest price you can make is 12$

[@mayaencuisinedz2268]

Hello Paul, today September 29th, I clicked on your 1 euro fabrica creative offer and I paid with paypal, but it is indicated that my next payment will take place on October 29th, do I? made a mistake? is your offer still valid? because I understood that the first month is 1 euros, thank you for your answer

[@paulmarles]

The offer is with Creative Fabrica not me. It is $1 for the first month and then about $19 a month after that. So their offer is $1 for the first month.

[@sohneschein185]

Why you dont writhing compelet keyword on kdp it not good exampel for beginner

[@essettyamal4315]

how can my book appear in both hardcover and paperback should I upload each one separately ?

[@paulmarles]

Amazon will automatically associate the two books and put them together in one listing. It can take a little time.

[@dailylifestyle834]

Hey are canva elements free for commercial use

[@relaxingsnoozy1189]

An example need to list 10 travel journal books with different covers so can i use the same title for all those books? Its allow or not ? Or should we use different titles for each book? Please explain thank you.
