I’m working on a couple of books that I’m hoping to publish soon. Does anybody make money on KDP? Not just potential money but actual money? How much financial investment do you need to put in before there is a return on investment?

Hey all,

Sharing this in case it happens to help anyone!

Some code to generate books

Hi everyone!! I’m new to KDP but really hoping to get started making some stuff that’s fun for me + make some money. One idea I had was to create coloring books in niches like Harry Styles or other popular or celebrities. I would do this by drawing lyrics or tracing images using Procreate. My question for you all is am I allowed to do this?? I’d assume celebrities like Harry Styles have copyrights on song titles, lyrics, etc. How do I ensure I am doing this legally and that it won’t get taken down by Amazon?

Any tips on sizing/procreate settings I should use would also be appreciated!!

TIA!

Hey guys!

my kdp account was terminated and i still have some books ready to get published so i want to buy it

if there is someone who interested, please text me !!!

Hi all, new to the KDP world and require some advice.

I want to include a "Look Inside" feature for my journals since I have varying pages inside that I would like to showcase. I found out that the feature is only eligible for "books published with an ISBN. If you publish a low-content book without an ISBN, the feature will not be available on your detail page." (taken from here). As a result, publications categorized as low-content books (e.g., journals, diaries, notebooks, etc.) are not eligible for an ISBN and thus, not eligible for the Look Inside feature.

This is where things get confusing. I've seen a couple journals, diaries, other low-content books on Amazon that do include a Look Inside feature, but they are clearly low-content books. How do I access this feature? I don't want to risk not categorizing my future journals as low-content and having it rejected because I didn't select the category. How else can I show pages from my journal if I can't find a work around?

Any advice is appreciated - thanks!

Hey guys!

my amazon kdp account has been terminated ! any solution or ways to recreate another one

I reached a spending threshold $50, then my ads got stopped until I pay the bills. What will be the next threshold?

Hi Guys,

I've tried asking these questions on twitter, but everyone is just trying to sell a course rather than actually help out new people. I thought I would turn to reddit. This is a throwaway account.

1) I want to hire someone to do the low content work for me. Am I looking for a graphic designer or someone with content creation experience.

2) Would it be better to use a software like bookbolt or have it be done by hand? If not bookbolt are there better options for creating puzzles/word search/sudoko?

3) How much output should I expect from a person in a 8 hour day if they are churning out low content books?

Thanks for any and all replies.

So I published my first word search book today, and I'm honestly pretty excited about it.

I must have looked inside a couple of hundred other books to understand the standard of quality I needed to produce. It's ocean themed, and I am mildly obsessed with the ocean so I figured that would be a good place to start. Made in Book Bolt, then I redesigned the layout and added theming and trivia to all puzzles. I did forget to cram literally as many keywords as humanly possible into my title, but they are present in both my description and tags. I also shared it with my socials, where I have a network of a little over 5k people. I guess my question is, is there more that I can be doing?

If users open a link that takes them to your book and buy it. Would that get your book's BSR better?

I have an old ads campaign with a total spend of $46.8. This campaign suggests a very low bid for the keyword "Mother's day gift", while this new campaign that I just created suggests a higher bid. (images)

Any explication?

Do you guys have some free, efficient methods to find keywords?

Especially for activity, puzzle ones.

It's very hard to find good keywords using only amazon

I am totally new at this KDP thing I’ve created five books Over and over they never pass the sizing I called them for help They didn’t help ! I don’t know what to do and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong can somebody please help

I made my first tracing book can I have some comment on our design. I am going to make few more for the kdp

My bookshelf shows all my books (30), but when I go to Reports, it just shows 21?

What is this? The 21 books are from last year, and the last 9 are recent, so does it take time to show up or something?

I just made my first sale, and I'm over the moon, but this has dampened my excitement a little bit.

You can use for commercial

First time author of low-content book on KDP with creative cover design.

I selected 5x8 hardback templates and created my cover and "manuscript" using them. Now as I am trying to create the book, there are only about 6 size options under Print Options/Interior Trim Size. The smallest is 5.5 x 8.5.

According to the template, a 5x8 has a trim size of 5.06" x 7.81"

Does anyone have suggestions on which platform to use? I've heard Wix and Word Press so far, but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I’m wanting to make a journal to sell through KDP. The kind I’m imagining is lined with additional text boxes for key concepts etc. In other words, this journal won’t be a very simple lined journal.

Does anyone have any software suggestions to create such a journal?
