Full Amazon KDP Tutorial For Beginners (Step by Step)

Can this be done on a phone or tablet?

And how do people find the book I create among the thousands ppl are uploading every day?
Ive seen so many vids by people like yourself abt doing this to create income but none of you are explaining how it gets seen/ in front of potential buyers!?

We started but got shut down after a week. Amazon thinks we have multiple accounts which violates terms and services. They won’t provide any info about the accounts because it contains sensitive information. We can never open another one. Frustrating to say the least. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hi, I have a question about ebook covers. When you open the book, is the inside of the cover typically blank, or can it include an image? If it's possible to add an image inside the cover, how can I create one?

Thank you for the comprehensive guide on how to make these books. However, is it required to have a business license to become a merchant on Amazon DKP? If so, what is the process of getting a business license and is it cumbersome when it comes to tax season?

Hi Gregg. Loved your video. I actually started my own word search books, and used your step by step and have about 10 books on amazon. Had a question for you that perhaps you can create a video about. Lately I've had 2 book blocked. I created them exactly the same way as the other 10 yet they are being blocked. I am not even given a chance to edit them. It goes straight to blocked
thank you

Greg thanks for great content , what is the reason for both manuscript and paperback to say error when uploading ?

GREG HELPPP!!! When I click the ChatGPT link It doesn’t give me YOUR page as instructed. It goes to my own page and asks me to log in. When i hit the link, it should say “Word Search List Builder”, but it does not.

🤔 Maybe I’m missing a step…lemme try again..

I’m struggling to get chat gpt to not repeat words or it comes up with words that aren’t really related to the topic and words that aren’t even real words. Good video though bro

Hi Greg
We clicked on the button to get an ISBN Number and it said Amazon KDP could not assist and to try again? Am I doing something wrong here?
Please assist 😢

Wow! This has to be the best tutorial I've come across to date! It's just a shame I didn't discover you sooner, as I could have saved myself thousands of pounds! Oh well, we have to go through the swamp before we reach the spring don't we?:) Thank you for sharing this Greg! You've come into my life at the right time. I'll have a go and check back in with you. Excellent work Greg! I appreciate you.

Thank you 🙏

How do you know how many pages and words to use? Is there a specific amount

I need help. The paste option does not comw up when I right click to add the crossword puzzle. How do I paste

This was so amazing and so informative. There is no way that everyone can’t create one

ChatGPT won't give me the entire list. It keeps asking if I want it in a downloadable format since the list is so long. So I'm going to have to go that route, and then add the file into Google Sheets from the downloaded file. That's the only way I can see how to get this done.

Hi Greg, when getting my word list from your chatgpt program, I found some words like rose-scented air, it's more than 12 characters and it also has a - in the word. I figure that I can go in and find other words to replace the longer than 12 character words but how does the Bookbolt program handle the - in a two word result? Should I replace or just remove the - before sending my list over to Bookbolt?

Greg thank you for creating this easy to follow tutorial. Published my 1st word search puzzle already!!

Thank you I was able to get my first word search published ....... not too original but it is called Be My Valentine Word Search. I will continue to do this and I also used the 20% coupon to get the year of book blitz

@GregGottfried, when you say there should be no duplicate words in the puzzles, do you mean out of the 495 words there should be NO duplicates at all, or do you mean there should be no duplicates in the 9 word sections for each puzzle?
Thank you for this very transparent and well explained process!

When I try to select bleed it is greyed out and my format is fixed because I am using pdf. But doesn’t allow me to select it? Enjoying your video by the way.

@GregGottfried hello Sir Thank you so much for doing this video, i want to know how long does it take for the Puzzle Books to be reviewed, how long does the review process take?

I have created an account on KDP Amazon today. I have a doubt regarding the tax section. I am using a personal account, not a business, and I am not from the US what do I have to fill that section with? Can you please help me with it?

How do I connect my earning from books to my bank account?

Hi Greg, I hope you are doing well. This video is quite helpful, thanks.

Don't waste your time wit KDP. They will block any book you submit.

H there Greg I keep getting this coming up
There was a problem processing your interior. Please check your file and try again. Can u help please

Very helpful, thank you so much👍

what its the cost for a beginner, please!.... thanks elson

Brother! its there a option,... of paying somebody to create and finishing it up, sharing profits......a s "o'desk' fivers"...? Please! would you mind to provide to me, a hint, suggestion, regarded to such project.... I do not mind, getting a samal share...! thanks and may God Bless you, and your family also! best regards elson

Chat GPT keeps coming up with words that are more that are more than 20 characters, even if I tell it to limit the list to words under 20 characters. Book Bolt will error out and tell me to fix errors, unless I have a setting wrong in book bolt?

I am interesting if I have account . I am from Slovenia.

Please Help! How do I Fix This?  Amazon Kindle Sent This For My Last 3 Books
Hi!

We checked your files and found issues you need to fix before your book can be published on KDP:


Cover
Resize the background or image on your cover so that it extends 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. All covers must be sized for bleed, which means you need to add an extra 0.125" (3.2 mm) along the top, bottom, and sides of your cover file. Once you have increased the size of your cover, extend any images or backgrounds that you want to reach all the way to the edge of the page 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. This prevents manufacturing issues when the cover is trimmed to size. Learn more about bleed .

Thank you so much for making this video. As a struggling parent I’m trying to find ways to be able to make money and support my kids while working at home. It’s been difficult and I’m trying everything I can. I love to draw as well (I know it’s not relevant) but I’m pretty sure I can do something with it and sell it in books through Amazon. Thanks again kind sir 🫡 😊

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Ive just published my first book thanks to you and your clear step by step instructions. Im very excited.

Gregg I am struggling to get ChatGBT to provide a full complete list of 495 results in one list. It goes so far and then adds a text line lie "and so on to 495" with out adding any further results. I then cant use this list back in Book Bolt. I've tried clarifying the question but the results are the same - it seems unable to provide a useable complete list. Any suggestions?

I have followed your videos and each and every puzzle book I loaded has been declined/blocked. I have written, rewritten titles, subtitles, keywords, the word search lists; no matter what I have done, I keep getting blocked. Any suggestions?

Please why is my book cover not showing by the side even after working on the designs

Excellent video, as usual!! Thanks

How many books do you have to upload just to earn like 100€? I know that it depends on the quality and the look of the book and many more, but i would just like to know if its worth doing it or not, because it seems like a big time consumer and i have a feeling that it wouldn’t make that much of a profit. I am new to it so i am just looking for advice. Definitely not hating, i like what you are doing… thanks for the answer from the skilled ones🙏

Great info, Greg. Thanks. I have a lot of ideas for journals with great covers and back. Unless I missed something, how does KDP know its a journal, and do all journals look alike on the inside? Thanks again!

how do we create the pages on bookbolt? I see the word puzzle page but adding it to my file is where I am running into problems. I can do my cover but that's it. I don't have a pages section... what step am I missing?

Thank you Greg. I have never seen such a clear and comprehensive tutorial. Amazing.

Do you recommend a free book maker like bolt ? Im broke broke like living in a parking lot and libraries broke.

Thanks for your work to bring this to YT. I am enjoying your thorough instructions and looking forward to great results for myself!

Hello. I wanted to ask you Is it possible to use that app to create books with other types of content, or is it only for that specific type of book?

Thank you so much for your thorough video. Best I have seen and love how easy you have made things, especially with your ChatGPT, so helpful. Followed along today and made my first book. First one took a bit of time but then made two more that were quick and easy. Will definitely be making more. Will let you know how it goes. Thank you!!
