I like your steady, practical and generous content. I've published 6 journals this week and really find it fun! I have a f/t job so one a day is about all I can do at the moment but this clip art info - I'm doing this next. It looks like something I'll really enjoy doing. Thank you for all the informational videos you are put out - I find them the best to follow. Hope you get tons more subs as that would be well-deserved. Thank you!
I'm thinking it's best to do your own competition research to see for yourself. Do you have experience with niches changing after a RU-vid video featured the niche?
I have been looking at hundreds of videos a day for the last 3 months as I am researching several make money on-line ideas and I have to say, without a doubt, that your videos are not only entertaining, but feel heart-felt.. Most videos, including affiliate marketing categories which start off as educational (title only; haha) BUT result in an unpleasant experience. Just wanted to send you this note to let you know I appreciate your work and wishing you lots of success.
Hi Paul, I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I appreciate your amazing videos on RU-vid. Your content has been incredibly helpful, and because of your guidance, I finally took the plunge and started publishing on KDP. I also wanted to thank you for generously sharing so much valuable information for free. It's not always clear why someone would do that, but it truly sets you apart and makes your channel even more exceptional. Thank you again for all you do, and keep up the great work! Best regards, Dietmar
Paul, I am amazed at the level of detail and strategy that you provide for free with this content. I really appreciate you and am SO GLAD I found your channel!
Dear Paul Marles, hope you read this comment. I spent 2 days to design a visual board book following your guidance. But there is a BIG PROBLEM when uploading the cover. the cover size as mentioned in your video does not fit any sizes in Amazon KDP. I can't change the size of the whole project that I spent so much time on it. Do you have any solution for that? Thank you for all of your great videos. We appreciate your work.
If you're using photos form Canva, does this comply with their licensing? You're not allowed to use their elements as "standalone". So if you use their elements, you have to alter & add to the original element to make a new design. It doesn't seem like this qualifies as a new design, since none of the photos are altered. I find Canva guidelines somewhat confusing, so I appreciate any input you have on this!
Click on the information button on each photo. You'll find that most come from Pixabay and Pexels, so you comply with their license. Section 2 in the Camva licensing aggreement is pretty clear on the matter.
Hi Paul, I really love your videos but I was wondering if you could show us a video that also included the profit you made by listing one of these KDP books. Maybe after running through a tutorial if you published the book and reviewed how it did after a couple weeks or 3-6 months, it would be interesting to see how realistic it is for someone to make a profit starting from scratch without existing books and a new KDP account.
The reality is different, Amazon will give you only $1.7 to $2 dollars if you sell your book at $10. I just published my journal book, so sharing this info
There is clearly something else going on. I guess, he's making more money on YT talking about it, otherwise it is strange to reveal such info and create competition.
You need to download a specific cover template from the help section on KDP which would be based on the 8.5x11 dimensions but includes the back cover and spine width.
Hi Paul. I have created one of these books. Mine has 90 total pages and I used your bleed template (8.625x11.25") from your Gumroad shop. I am trying to upload the interior on KDP and it keeps saying my "Manuscript upload failed". Do you know why this would be happening and how to fix it?
after 10 published books with low content like journals, notebooks and paper games, i've made my first sell online thanks to your guide for my space vision board book! i felt fantastic and this got me up to work again... i created a maze book and a mood tracker journal but these type of books got rejected from kdp even tho i didn't used any ai tools to create them, or any copyrighted material... now i am a little bit frustrated and stopped creating books !
I looked at this niche two months ago after you made that collage book video since it’s adjacent. I was nervous about entering it because of the licensing terms and copyright issues. But I think I have a plan for it now. Thanks!
Hey Paul. Thanks so much for the video. Like all your videos they are so helpful. Just a quick question here when you were making the cover shouldn't there have been a back page to the cover and that means that we needed to use a bigger template that was 2-up for the cover? Thanks again for all your hard work in creating these videos.
Hi Paul, I'm a newbie and just started following your amazing videos they are so helpful thank you! For this tutorial do I have to add more pages as it says up to 40 to 90pages and do I just duplicate as you've shown here, thank you so much I really appreciate all the videos and knowledge you give to us, please reply thank you
Hi Paul...i have a question. This vision board book cover is only one side?...because in journal when you did a cover of book in the middle was arrow...Thank you for answer 😊😊
Hi! I'm not sure if I'm being stupid but I really need this clarifying. You said we putting our images on the right hand side, but as you created the design you put your images on the first page. But, when the book is created, the first page you will open ( on the left hand side ) will be the designs and then the blank page?
This is fascinating. I have been working with vision boards for over 40 years, did not think to create books for them. I used to use scrap books and cut pictures from magazines
You are the KDP lord...I have been following you since I started this kdp business. I bought the course since 6months but still with $4 on my dash board, I believe it will increase someday.
Thank you for your awesome informative videos! You are obviously intelligent and compassionate. This comes across in your videos as you present so clearly and concisely. AMAZING!!! I am in your age group, burned out from my demanding career. I too am looking to move out of the 9-5 so I can LIVE my life outside of the "white slavery model" we all follow. Thank you Paul!
Hello Paul, thank you very much for your content, you have helped me understand and be able to start on Amazon KDP and my first book will be with your video, I wanted to ask you if it was a good idea to do it with AI to several or all the images. Greetings from Argentina
Love your videos Bro !! great content by the way i tried for several days to contact Amazon about my account termination since 11 days with no luck i wonder if anyone got some tips to reinstate the account
Can I ask a question 🙋♀️…. I’m creating a vision board book, it starts with just information pages and then moves on to the pages that can be cut out. In terms of creating it, am I Using just a normal page in canva for text and subsequent normal pages or does everything have to be on the pages we set up as shown in your vid… if that makes any sense 🙄😂
Hi Paul, feels like I know you personally. Even my husband is a fan of yours now. Thank you so much for giving me and so many others a head start in Amazon and you are still giving. I am definitely giving this a try.
Hey Paul! Thanks so much for creating these you tube video tutorials. I have uploaded 2 notebooks and 2 weekly planners so far and am now working on my vision boards. I just had a question about creating the book cover for the vision board. Would I have to create it the same way you have shown in your journal and weekly planner videos with a PDF download through KDP or gum road? I'm just a bit stuck with this bit.
Your videos are so helpful thankyou. Whey you say a book is 40 pages does that include the blank back page. In other words is it 80 pages total with 40 pages of images or 40 pages total with 80 pages of images?
Love your videos! I watched the Create Journal and did that recently, i am new to this. But now i'm trying to do the vision board for the first time and watched this video a few times but im confused on the deletion of elements/pages and how do you make more than one page and put it all together to put on KDP?
You would build up the interior page by page. At the bottom of each page you click on the add page button to add the next page. And then add the images etc. to that page and so on.
Hi Paul! Thanks for sharing, I was wondering how to get the ds Amazon quick view working on an iPad? I’ve tried all sorts but doesn’t seem to be working.
Initially I was inspired by another channels concept which lead me here. I’ve few questions #1 100% new to me- I attempted this video I’ve 40 pages done. Any chance of you viewing it? Did I infringe somehow? I’m feeling uncertain. Q#2: Cover page, is that a separate project? An element button click add to: feature? Or is page#1 cover page? Q#3: this video produced a book through gumroad? AmazonKDP? I’m stuck at the publisher part😑i will watch your video again. Thx todays Wed 05.31.2023 🤓
Hi Paul, i am from Germany and i like your Videos and Content. I wish you all the best ! You make a Great Job and you inspire Me to do the same. Best wishes , Christian
You have given the Template size as 8.625×11.25. But this size is not available in KDP. How to upload the book which I have already created using this template on KDP? Which size for interior and cover should I select while uploading.
Hello Paul. Thank you for your videos. I learned a lot from you ! There are so many other you tubers posting similar videos, but their content can never compete with yours. You are so genuine and honest! ❤
Great video man, and so much information. Just found your videos a month ago and it's nice seeing how much you've improved in just educating and making videos from five years ago! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊
Hi Paul i saw maybe all your videos . And i want to tell you in short time i put 4 books in my KDP account in amazone. You are one of the few people who publish good educational content. so thank you I want to ask you about something : How can i get my link for my books to can promotion them in another sits ???? can you tell how to can get it even if short or long link. thank you
If you go to the template listing and put in 0 in the amount box you’ll be able to download it for free. If any problems then just message via Facebook or Instagram. @paulmarles
Sir i have a question if im to use a free image on vectezy and they said attribution required if i put the attribution on my book and publish would it affect my kdp acc
Paul have you done a how I set up to film videos video yet? It seems like you have a few different areas to film but I can barely keep one area good enough to film in how do you do so many?
Hi Paul, thank you so much for your vids. I really appreciate your content. So is this size 8.625 by 11.25 with bleed or no bleed? It really confuses me. PLMK. Thanks!
Thank you paul I want to ask you about the Margin site that does not give me the ability to download, do I have to pay first, and if so, how much do I have to pay?
Hello Paul, How long can we save a paperback book as a draft? Is there a time limit for that? Because its been 4 weeks since I published my ebook version. Still the paperback version of that book is saved as a draft. (for 4 weeks) (I have taken the free isbn for my paperback book) Is it okay to keep a paperback book as draft, according to the kdp guidelines? I had to do some modifications to the paperback version. (that is why it got delayed) Hopefully I will publish the paperback version within this week. Could you share your opinion? Thank you very much.
I am a new subscriber and I really enjoy your very informative videos. I also have purchased a couple of items from you, thank you. However, your free items I cannot retrieve. No cart popup and nothing in the library. I don't know if you have knowledge of this issue or if you know a work around but I thought you should know of the problem. Thank you again for all you do
how did you get the KDP Keyword Research to work on Amazon? I have the API key and bought the credits, but I''m not sure how to use the chrome extension. Can you help?
You have given the Template size as 8.625×11.25. But this size is not available in KDP. How to upload the book which I have already created using this template on KDP? Which size for interior and cover should I select while uploading.
Hello Paul, hope you are doing great! may i ask how many pages do i make and do i make all blank pages between the duplicates? i am new to this please help appreciate your videos so much
Thanks for the video! However you should not advise using Canva to source images - selling their images without substantial modification is a violation of their license and can get people in a world of trouble for it...
Hello Paul, Thank you for this Amazing Videos, i ve been following your advices for more than 2 years: i have one question tough, if i Use Pictures In Canva Pro to create this Vission Board Book , Is it safe ?
Paul, are you able to print a draft copy on KDP before you publish your book to Amazon? I want to be able to go through and critique it + make any little changes I need to before I make it official. I don't want to publish a blurry photo! :P This is my first book.
Hi, Paul. Wonderful content. Wanted to ask, how big are this clip pics, I mean how many should be in one page...so that they are big enough to see from a distance. Can you suggest...
Great information!... On any type of low content or medium content book, would you recommend putting the author name and a copyright year on a title page at the beginning of the book?
Thank you very much for sharing this massive knowledge with us for free. I really admire your videos, and the way you explain and present per overall details. You're very good at this. Keep up doing this amazing job.
Hi Paul, thanks for your tip on this. I made a vision board with a specific niche after looking at this video and using your keyword research. Yesterday i got my first sale in less than 2 weeks from publishing. Can you also help me with my other books, i realise some are more competitive than the others and my keyword research skills are no good. Is there a way i can reach you for help 1:1 Just subscribed regardless. Cheers!
I actually just published one of these a little over a week ago. No sales yet...but sometimes it takes a bit to get going, and my bids are low. Great video.
I am just confused on the fact that recently canva changed some image copyright policy ...if i use free images ...i hope there is no copyright issues n my kdp account doesn't gets banned...
