This is an EXCELLENT video. This is the approach I plan to take: make only a few KDP books, but make them in-depth, highly niched, and robust. Then market the heck out of them via everything mentioned in this video: website, Facebook, Instagram, KZitem, Twitter, Pinterest. I believe in quality over quantity. I want to build engagement and relationships with my customers. I would rather sell over and over again to a few repeat customers than to a bunch of random people. If we take our KDP business seriously as a *business* then marketing is 90% of the battle. Thank you, Paul, for the valuable content!

Hi Paul, thanks for the vid - You've given me some interesting take aways to think about and hopefully start applying, even though I'm just at the beginner stage. Yes, please do make a vid on the authors page, it'd be great to learn more about how we can optimize this with examples from pros and a checklist/stepping stones that newbies like me can follow. I also have a few ideas for other vid topics which it'd be great to hear your opinion on if you have time: 1) With 3 months to go until Christmas (ie, last call for submission to get your KDP Christmas themed book ranked), what are your top tips for maximising sales over Christmas? I'm guessing that there are more gift purchases - does this change your marketing strategy, cover choice or keywords etc in any way? 2) The demographics of low content book purchasers generally, ie location of most purchases, age, sex, socio-economic status, interests/other Amazon purchases. Is there info or a way that we can deduce this? Is this different for colouring books vs educational books etc. I can use my common sense to make assumptions based on what I see working for others, but it would be great to have some real data to work with if that exists somewhere? If not, then a game we can play to hone and test our eye would be great - I'm thinking something along the lines of the Wholesale Ted channels 'Do not sell these print on demand designs & products.. (Mistakes beginners make), but a bit less cheezey (sorry Sarah!)! 3) Tips and tricks you've learnt for keeping your files organised on your computer. Not a sexy topic I know, but still important. Keeping track of where content has come from (whether Vecteezy, Creative Fabrica, Fiverr, or created yourself etc) and the associated licensing agreements, original thoughts/inspiring images, page links, contacts and what/how that content has been used can be challenging, as can keeping track of receipts and different versions of designs... Many thanks for all your videos sharing your knowledge and thoughts on KDP - I greatly appreciate it!

Yes. I am looking into Central page right now. I just built a website. Nothing on it yet. I am wondering if I can put an Amazon banner on my website if I list a few items from other affiliations. I have purchased items from you and listen very carefully to your videos. I just barely started low content books and most of them are still in review, but I feel like I am wasting my website, even though I have no traffic going to it. I am starting from the ground up. I have a family that needs me too. I have limited time but I squeeze in every minute. I am working to get blogs and low content books going because I have a feeling my employer will give me a hard time because of the vaccine. I work for a hospital. Very liberal. It's my choice but employers can require it if they want. Like it or not.

The thing most KZitemrs etc fail to realize is 99% of these top selling books were put out pre covaid a few during Covid and hardly any after covid. Why do I say that? Look at dates published also saying that they been in system for year’s building up where they are. Now days you got so many people trying to turn a quick buck they are flooding market with subpar books. Which means it’s harder for good books to get sells. So those ones that were pre Covaid with tons of reviews and lots of sells will always be on top. Why? Because they are trusted.

Hate to burst anybody's bubble, but Jade Summer is a COMPANY. They steal coloring pages or use existing images to crank out huge numbers of coloring books and they surely have a budget to generate all of these likes and marketing... I wouldn't be surprised if they're stealing the colored pages, as well. This isn't to say you can't do the same thing, but it is to say that it's a LOT harder when it's actually just one person doing all of this work verses a team...
