OMG! You my dear are a life saver. ☺️☺️☺️☺️ I was pulling my hair out, from following the instructions from another video person on this topic. I spent 20hrs trying to get my spiral planner just to fit in the kdp-amazon upload. Then something told me to research a little further on RU-vid to find answers that I needed as to why my spiral date planner was not being accepted in the KDP Amazon upload and you answered all my questions I need a totally different template platform and I didn't know anything about Lulu I've been strictly using the KDP because I am new at this and I'm still trying to build my passion for creating these types of books thank you so much you are such a lifesaver for me today thank you so much. By the way I subscribed and I turned on My Little 🔔. 💕😊

I got lost on the interior file part. I downloaded the one from lulu (weekly planner) but also created the lined version you illustrated in another video. Can you show us what uploaded the file actually looks like? When I upload an interior file (120pages) it is not allowing the option to have a spiral notebook. Also, can we see the inside and outside of a final project. Thank you for this content.

Thank you so much for the wonderful video. I've looked through your content but I can't find anything specific to profit comparison. I am trying to decide which option is best, FBM or FBA, but I am struggling to catch all of the necessary moving parts for me to know which one would bring a higher profit. I understand it depends on the price I can potentially get from a delivery service such as USPS/Fedex/UPS/etc, but I don't even know enough on how the FBA works for me to be able to compare with FBM once getting those shipping prices.

Hi Caroline, What you share is very helpful. Thanks. If I understand correctly I can opt to see my book with Lulu and the global market at the same time, right? In this case I need to have an Amazon account or Lulu takes care of the sale, do I only receive royalties? In the case of FBA Amazon, does it work with the print on demand system or do I need to produce X number of books and stock them on Amazon to start selling? Thanks in advance.

Lulu definitely has better options - they have a thicker interior paper to choose from which might suit colouring books better.

@@MyFreedomEmpire they are so much more expensive than KDP. Such a shame there's not a more affordable way to print journals/notebooks etc (update - it seems Lulu is only based in the US. Is that correct? I'm in the UK, and shipping books from the US really isn't a viable option for me.

It is really interesting to know how to sell non KDP books on Amazon ! What about using a traditional printer and use FBA to sell it ? As a children’s book illustrator I would love to be able to sell board books, hardcover with less than 72 pages and even pop ups... I struggle to find the best way to do that. Would you have any advice ? Ordering 1000 copies in advance would be ok for me. Thank you for this video!
@MyFreedomEmpire
@MyFreedomEmpire 2 года назад
Sure, you can use a traditional printer and sell via FBA. I would just say do your research and find a reputable supplier with a good price. Ask for samples first. Also, join some of the children's book authors/illustrator groups on facebook because lots of people have already published books by having them printed themselves and you could ask for printer recommendations.

I like the idea of doing something low content of higher quality, including spiral. Does Lulu also do better quality paper, embossed covers, elastic band to close the book or keep your page, an envelope insert? Special touches.
@MyFreedomEmpire
@MyFreedomEmpire 2 года назад
Lulu does have a better quality paper option. They do embossed covers but no on the spiral books. The embossed covers you can do are a foil type of print on a linen cover hard cover. Currently, their spiral bound books do't have the option of the elastic close or inside pocket.

This was super helpful, especially the cover designer and Canva connection, that was really cool. Thank you! p.s.

Do they deduct from the profit you made, or they may charge you separately. That would be a great video. That would be a great video. If a retailer bought your book in bulk and decides to return them... could you lose a lot of money. Thank you for any information you could provide.

I had my front cover created by a graphic designer for a hardcover book. However, I need it changed. How do I change the cover to fit a spiral book instead? Is there some way to fix it in Canva without having to pay again? Or will the front cover be just fine. Thanks 🙏🏾

Hello there! Thank you so much for this content. Quick question. I already have a Kdp account with some of my live journals on there. Can I use my same design that I used for my journals, to make notebooks on Lulu? Will the ISBN number be a issue? due to I will be using the same design? I always go with the ISBN Kdp gives me, and I would also go with the ISBN number Lulu would give me. Thank you in advance for this advice.

Hello! Interesting question...I'm not 100% sure about this one because how would they know you are doing this so I can't see it being a major problem but personally I would change something about the second book, so at least change the title a little bit so they aren't exactly the same.

Hello, superb video thank you, can you confirm if this information is still current (2023/24)? I'm about to publish a wire bound cook book (so it lays flat when cooking), I'm intending to sell it in the general Amazon market place with stock up front, not KDP, but it could well end up being better suited to KDP and will make the shift at that time. I'd ideally prefer not to need changing layout etc to suit a different binding so eager to factor in what may be necessary. Thank you again. Daisy

You did a great job of going through all the steps, super helpful! I have 2 questiosn. 1) What is the amount that Amazon FBA takes off each item? If you're making a profit of $5 each book, how much of that profit will go to Amazon for FBA, in which case what is your actual net per book? Is it worth it? 2) Also, do you have a suggestion for a spiral notebook with elastic band POD or even print in bulk where I store the book?

Is there a way for you to have your sound louder? It is hard to hear even on 100%. Thanks. Besides that, I love your content. That's why I don't want to miss any of your information.

Thank you for this helpful video. May I ask, does Lulu integrate with Canva (free version) or just Canva Pro?

Can I ask though about the price comparison per individual book? on KDP compared with LULU

Yes you are one of most followed. I ran into a problem when trying to upload on lulu, it didn’t give me the option of spiral, and that’s the only reason for lulu, any tips as to why it would not me chose a spiral?

You need to make sure you have not selected distribution on Lulu if you want to print spiral bound.

Thank you, that was very useful! I wonder if I can upload a book to Lulu that has already been published on kdp?!

You're welcome 😄 You can, you just have to make sure to provide your own ISBN, not use the free KDP or Lulu one (unless you are printing with a different cover type).

@@MyFreedomEmpire When you say "cover type" do you a different design? Because I was thinking I could print via KDP and then take the ones that are selling well and sell a spiral bound via Lulu. But if I had to change the cover design I wouldn't know if it would continue to sell well.
