Thanks for all the great information. I just got started publishing low content books a week ago, and Amazon has listed 5 of my publications so far.

Here is another one that I have made: When you design your cover keep in mind how it will look in the preview. I made a more pastel cover with a font with fine lines and no big contrasts. It looks pretty good in its original size, but now I have uploaded it and saw how it looks in the preview, I realised it doesn't look very good. You can't actually read the title on the cover and the design I have created is also barely visible. I think of redoing it, because I don't think it will sell that way

About the keyword staffing, I always try to avoid this mistake but when looking at a lot of books that have really low BSRs in amazon, especially in the low content, I see that actually they do Kw staffing often and they make a lot of money, I am confused how Amazon deals with these publishers.

Hello how this channel has helped me a lot, I will give you some advice regarding copyright. If they close your account is because they used the images of characters or brands and (When you close an account you can not open another one ever again). Regarding titles and other text things Amazon does not allow them to be published and you have to edit the text so do not use trademarks to earn more money because in the end they will close your account and you will not earn anything.

Basically, I am giving buyers color and size options.

Regarding margins, on a children's book, I am also the artist. My thoughts for simplifying the illustrations on the page would be to keep the important subject in the middle, then the illustration as it gets close to the edge, to be the least important. Question: Would this work regarding margins, less worry of rejections, or me being disappointed with results?

Hi Paul, thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful. In regard to the title keywords, is the title field indexed together with the subtitle field? For example, if someone tried to be original in the title, but still gave major keywords in the subtitle, does Amazon utilize both fields for hybrid searches? Here is a made up example: Title: Name That Bird Subtitle: Nature Log Book for Kids Will Amazon show this book if someone searches "bird log book" or "bird book for kids"? Or are the two fields completely separate in this regard? Thanks so much! :)

These videos are great; I like learning the create software - so no content/low content publishing gives me an outlet....I only just published 10 journals with some creative covers (that I like anyway). I have taken all the key word advice; I have no series; I did not have any rejections -following your advice. But now...would love to hear from more people who have sold (how long did it take, journals seem to be pretty saturated)---also, how do we know the print quality? AND finally, how can we get more images of the work (showing the pages inside - for example - because even though blank - there is some variety offered by Gumroad. Also, showing the back cover for some of my own creations is good because the back and the front are different :) Anyway - thanks - great content! (PS: I am using Vista Create, when downloading the completed cover to PDF I do have an option for "High Quality Printing" - but I want to know the quality of the paper/printing by Amazon...any feedback on this?)

I think when using word to create a document for a book it adds in formatting code that you can't see and will mess up the formatting when you upload to KDP. Therefore it's recommended to use an alternative. The last time I created a written book, which was some time ago, I used Scrivener but I'm sure there are free alternatives out there.

Trademarks are a real can of worms. First, you must check the trademark category then, if you check and it is not trademarked, it does not mean it won't be later on. Even more crazy for example, the image of the Eiffel Tower by day is in the public domain and can be reproduced without authorization. However, its image at night, with various illuminations, is protected and subject to prior authorization and payments of rights. Of course, the image taken by private individuals for personal use does not require prior agreement. So yes, even buildings, monuments can be trademarked/protected. It is a complicated subject!

I suspect it might be. If you try it they will tell you if there is an issue. BookCo would probably have a better chance of going through but might look or read a bit odd.

If you’re out of budget the ad will stop. Now is the time to run Halloween ads. I normally get a bull and money taken out every 2 weeks.

When we search an d find a best keyword and good sales attached to it but then why it is so that there are other books too there or may be entirely different and next question is do we have to include that keywords in our title too because those books we see dont have it in their title then how they are selling on this particular keyword

Hi Paul. Thank you so much for your precious support!!! I have a question: can I use in the Contributors filed an acronym followed by "Books" ? Something like MEA Books. Does that mean that I used a keyword and my book will be rejected? I have already an author name but I would like to add as well an contributor and I am thinking to build a brand around it. Thank you so much for your help!!! :-)

Thanks for this, it's great info but...I've tried uploading my manuscript to KDP today. However on both Kindle (Jpeg) and Paperback (PDF) manuscripts, the text from my exported "5 x 8" word document, is all over the place and certainly not suitable for publication. Do you have any idea why this may happen? I've spoken to Amazon and they are just as confused as I am!

As I understand it, the issue with creating a document in word is that it adds formatting characters into the text which messes things up. It’s been quite a number of years since I created a written book but I used Scrivener to prevent that problem. I’m sure there’s a simple workaround which I’m certain could be found with a search on Google or KZbin.

Hi Paul, thanks for this info. I wish I had watched this or researched more before starting. I just wanted to quickly walk through the process to check out all the steps. I made a Bible study journal and use the term “Waymaker” Bible study journal. After watching this video I discovered Waymaker is a trademarked word. I’ve heard it used in church most of my life. I’d hate to get my account banned over something that was virtually a test. I don’t plan on doing journals. It’s already been submitted, so I guess it’s too late? Thanks again.
