Transcripts
so in this video I'm going to show you
everything you need to know in order for
you to become a successful publisher on
Amazon KDP if this is your first time to
hear about Amazon KDP it is kindo direct
publishing so I'm going to show you how
I decide on the books I create books
that are actually selling books that are
actually making money I will show you
how I illustrate these books I will show
you how I design them I show you how I
upload them to Amazon KDP in fact I'm
going to show you everything you need to
know as a beginner or somebody who has
been publishing and maybe you are not
making money or somebody who just want
to learn my process I'm going to show
you everything you need to know in this
video so every time you want to create a
book the first thing you have to think
about is does this book have sales so
I'm going to use publisher rocket So
within the video I'm going to show you
how you can also use free tools to do
your research so if you don't have
publisher rocket it's a paid tool I'm
going to put it in the description box
down below so now that we are in
Publisher rocket I'll come here to
keyword search I'm going to click here
on keyword search let's say for example
I just want to make a children's book
then I'm going to come here I'm going to
type whatever I'm creating I'll just put
like ABC coloring for example and I'm
going to search here and publisher
rocket is going to search through Amazon
all the books that have something
related to this now then I'll come here
I'll open all of this so I'll scroll
down and I'll open all of this till the
end and my goal here is that I want to
look at the search volume the number of
search on Amazon KDP regarding this
particular keyword and the competition
scores the number of books that are
there the competition that is existing
regarding this particular keyword so now
when I look I'm always interested in the
ones that have green green so when you
have green green like that it shows that
there is high search volume and there is
very little competition so that's
something that I can easily create a
book there and then Target it make sure
I position my book on number one and
that is how I'm going to have more sales
and that is how my book is going to
perform well so Overcomers one thing
that I want you to know is that we can
create all this book we can waste so
much time if we are just creating books
and we are not making sure that the book
actually has demand or we are able to
Target that keyword then we are going to
waste our time create those books and
nobody is going to buy them or even if
your book is so good and there is too
much competition then you will not be
able to stand out but anyway I'm going
to be showing you the things that you
can do in order for your book to
actually stand up so now when we come
here this one that is green green it
just says AB EAS coloring for kids so we
need seven of these keyword and I'm
going to tell you where to put them so
it means that this is one of my keyword
that I'm going to Target so I'll keep
searching and these ones that have
orange and green these are potential
ones this one says you know ABC coloring
book for todler 1 to three it has
potential too because this is green and
this is orange so I'll continue the
entire process until I'm going to pick
at least seven keyword here and I'll
decide on what I really want to create
so let's let's assume that we are taking
this one ABC coloring book for Kit 3 to
5 or1 to3 any of this this three we are
going to Target them so now I'll come
here I'll click here and when I click
here my goal is that I want to see the
books that people are creating in this
area now look at this is the first one
that comes up I've already fallen in
love with this one look at all the books
so you just take your time do your
research see the books and how their
covers look so this is the research
process let's assume that I want to
focus on this look at this book this
particular book is making
$1,694 per month of our commer so and
this is just one book don't be deceived
and hear how people say that oh it's so
saturated the people who say that it's
because they don't know what they are
doing it's true that it's saturated but
when you brand your book if you follow
what I've been telling you on this
channel branding is kill so now at this
point let's come here let's click here
check it out so we are going to check
out this book so this is going to bring
us to to Amazon and we are going to
check out this book and this is number
one bestselling book it's really doing
well whenever I do my research I'll look
at the book just take your time look at
what they are doing come here scroll
down you'll see they have A+ content
look at what you can see and you can
have an idea how the interior of the
book is you just take your time and
guess what Overcomer is an independent
author just like you and me and so look
at this this book has 1220 pages so just
take your time analyze the book and it's
for ages 2 to 4 and the size is 8.5 by
11 take your time analyze and also look
at where this book is being published so
these are the categories so this is
where you can get an idea for the
categories that you are going to use in
your book so another thing that I always
do is that I'll come here when I click
here that's the name of the author and
then I'm going to see all the other
books that this particular author is
publishing over when I tell you about
branding so if you look at this book you
can immediately tell that they in the
same brand the author is doing an
amazing amazing job and the one book we
just saw is $10,000 something per month
and look at the number of books that
they have can you imagine how much this
seller is making per month we can
actually check it but that's not our
Focus for this video so you see how they
are branding so one thing that I want
you to take out of this video in 2024 if
you want to succeed on Amazon KDP I want
you to focus on creating a brand so
another thing that I always do is that I
can come down to the reviews I'll peep
into the book and I'll see what people
are saying I'll look at what is in the
book I'll see the kind of design so we
can see that they have the bird they
have something here and they have the
name right then I'll also come here and
look at negative reviews and see what
people are saying so that I can perfect
these negative reviews in my own book so
we are not copying we are looking at
what is already selling what is making
money and we are improving and we are
making a better quality so that our book
can stand out and then the A+ content
also tells me how the book looks they
have done an amazing job they actually
bought the book color it as if it's a
kit and put it here that makes it so
amazing and so this is called A+ content
if you don't know much about this I've
already created a complete video on A+
content and I'm going to link it
somewhere here so that if you want to
create your own A+ content you can
follow that A+ content video that I've
already done and then you create yours
it is a must for you to be able to
display your book that will make
customers to know exactly what they are
buying so when you satisfied your
research and you know exactly what kind
of book you to create the next step is
that we are going to figure out how to
actually get this book done so there are
many ways that you can do this you could
hire somebody to create these designs
for you but I'm going to show you how to
do it how to create it using M Journey
so if you don't know what M journey is
or you've never used it don't worry
about it I'm going to show you how to
use it and I'm going to put a link down
below so you can click on it and then
it's going to take you to Mid Journey or
you can go to Google and just type mid
Journey like this so this is M jeny when
you click on it it's going to bring you
to a page like this and now so it's
supposed to be connected to Discord so
I'll accept the invite so if you are
following the link I sent to you it will
also do something like this you accept
the invite and then I'll allow and now
because I already have an account it
brings me straight to my account so if
you don't have an account you are now
going to be asked to create an account
so you follow the steps and create an
account so you can use me Jour for free
just to try it but if you want to use
any of the images that you create here
commercially you need to have at least
the $10 pay plan so before making this
video These are already images that I've
created don't worry I'm going to show
you exactly how to do it and if you
watch this video to the end I'm actually
going to show you how I come about
creating my images like this so if for
example you want to actually create this
book and you have no idea what to do one
place that you can start is to use Char
GPT and Char GPT can give you word if
you don't know what Char GPT is it's an
open a I to so if you come to char PT
here I've just asked Char PT please give
me easy ABC words for a coloring book
for a kid age you can put whatever H
that you are targeting here from A to Z
just something simple and then I'm going
to click enter so what Char GPT is going
to do is that it's going to give me word
like this so a for apple b for Bear C
for cat so these are the words that Char
GPT has generated for us within a second
so you can if you want Char GPT to
rewrite it you just te Char GPT rewrite
if you want Char GP to change a
particular word maybe M for if you don't
like Moon you can tell Char GPT to
change it so if I say rewrite charp is
just going to rewrite the word and it's
going to give us different variations of
whatever it is so now you as a human one
thing that I want you to do is that
don't go and copy this immediately what
I normally do is that I can ask so many
variations and I can see if there is
something that I want to change I can
change it but then what you have what
you can do is that you can come here
take some from up here take some from
here and then just put them together and
now compare your entire list and then
you should also make sure that it's
something that you can easily design
something that you can easily create and
as we go through the process you'll be
able to see the things that you can
easily create so if we look through we
have like apple we have like octopus
just go ahead and look through your
entire W and then we are just going to
create some I'll show you how to create
some and then you can go ahead and
complete the rest so when you using
Journey you come here you you put this
forward slash here and then you put
imagine and then you open the place for
the prompt now you are going to put your
prompt here I already have my prompt so
I'm just going to paste my prompt here
you can pause the video and copy it if
you want so I put many things like this
because I want it to give me exactly
what I want I want it to really make my
design to look unique so now after this
you just click enter and then you wait
and then you just wait for a while and
mid Journey is going to give you an
amazing design so our apple is ready you
see how beautiful the apple is so it has
all this eyes because I actually wanted
it to put eyes so this is one way to
have all this eyes is going to make your
book unique it's going to make your book
stand out it's going to be something
that children will actually like so if
you don't want it you can also take them
out so I just want us to do a second one
you still do the same thing imagine and
then I'll paste my prompt so this one
now is an octopus we can do a bear any
and then we just click enter and we wait
and mid journey is going to create our
design for us so the main thing so one
thing that I want you to know is that
when I create my design one thing that
is very important I make sure that I
have the name of what I'm creating I
make sure it's on a white background so
if you are struggling with that I just
encourage you to pause the video you can
take time and just look at what I've
written and then you can redesign it and
make yours and I'm going to also show
you how I get to the point of actually
having this so now now our comers look
at our octopus it looks so beautiful now
we have our Apple we have our octopus
here so I want us to do one more thing
so we can put imagine so this one is for
a house so you just go ahead and keep
designing like this and now if there is
something you don't like or if some if
there is for example if I want it to
repeat this house for me we have U1 U2
u3 u4 there stands for this U1 U2 u3 u4
and then this ones under is a variation
so if you want this thing to if you want
want it to give you another variation of
any of this you can come here V1 will
give you variations of this V2 will give
you variations of this V3 and V4 V3 and
V4 so let's say we want M journey to
give us variations of V2 what we are
going to do is that we come here to V2
and it's going to make four different
variations of this particular one for us
so that's how if you're not very sure if
your design is not the best you can just
keep doing that until you get the best
quality of aom please one thing that I
want you to know is that with AI many
people are putting so many low content
books on Amazon KDP but you know what as
Overcomer we want to stand out I don't
want you to keep putting so many books
that are not creating impact our goal is
to create impact in the life of the
people who buy our book so if somebody
hold our book like this they should be
very happy that they bought your book
just seeing it in the package they
should be very happy opening it they
should be very happy and when they use
it it should actually impact their lives
so that when somebody buys your book
once they will buy it again they will
buy all the books that are on your shelf
because you are branding your brand
because you have a brand and so they'll
buy it as gift for their children their
grandchild their children's children and
they will keep buying your books so if
you have watched this video up to this
point I want to encourage you to give it
a thumbs up for the YouTube algorithm
and I want to encourage you to subscribe
if you've not yet subscribed to become a
part of the family so now now you can
see we have just made the same variation
and it has given us like this so when
you are done Overcomers with all your
design what you do is that let's say
want to download this Apple so you come
here you go to so this is 1 2 3 4 so you
come to u4 and you just click here and
then it's going to download the Apple
for you now we have our Apple here what
you are going to do is that you click on
the apple and then you right click and
it it will tell you save image as and
then you save it wherever you want to
save it you click save you do the same
for all your images from A to Z and now
when you have all your images the next
thing we have to do is to put them
together and create our book so we are
going to be using canva to design our
book canva is a platform that will help
you to be able to create your books you
know you can have a free version or you
can have a pay version if you don't have
canva I'm going to put a link down below
you can use my link and you will have 30
days free trial and if you finish with
it you can unsubscribe if you want to
but it is an amazing tools I've used it
for 6 years and I've never regretted it
once now that we are in Cana we come
here to this C to custom size we click
here and then you change these pixels to
inches so the book we looked at the the
size was 8.5 by 11 so you just put 8.5
by 11 now when you have 8.5 by 11 this
is your blank canvas so now the next
thing I'm going to do is that I'm going
to put my trim size here at I'll just
pull it to the edge if you don't know
what this is I've already made a video
talking about trim sizes Amazon has
different trim sizes Amazon has some
things that are called bleed no bleed
you use when you're formatting your
books so if you don't know much about
this I'm going to put a video up here
and you are going to learn more about
that but it's not very important for you
to create your book but one thing that I
want you to know is that I've created
about 24 trim sizes and I'm giving them
for free so I'm going to put the link
down below so that if you need a free
copy you can get it and now what I
normally do is that so I'll come here
and then I'll click here like a shape
I'll take a shape and I'll put here and
I'll just pull it out like this and make
sure it fits inside here so now that I
have this shape here so I can
comfortably take this out so when I take
that out I can now come here and what
I'll do is that I'll increase this I'll
make this to be darker then I'll come
here and I'll remove the color so you
see how it looks so this is how our book
is going to look this is the outside of
our book books that have this they
actually sayell well what I do next is
that I'm just going to duplicate this
throughout my entire pages and make sure
I have the number of pages that I want
for my book the next thing that I'm
going to do is that I'm now going to go
to upload so I'm going to upload all our
designs so for example the Apple I'm
going to come here and I'll just click
upload and it's going to bring it here
so what I'm going to do next is that I'm
just going to click here and the apple
is going to come here so now that we
have our Apple here if you want to do
exactly what they did they had an empty
page like this and they put a here so
you can go to text and then you can take
any text so what I normally do is that I
take a text like this and then I can
just put a right I'll put a here so you
come here and then you change this color
to Black so that it will become black
like this and then you can pull it and
open it so we have that and then we have
our Apple here now we can also write
Apple here you can just come here and
click here and then you put Apple so you
put Apple here now let's maybe reduce it
a little bit and what you can do you do
the same thing you just change a color
and make sure it is black and you can
also come to effect and make any changes
if you want to make any changes here you
can go ahead if you want to reduce the
output if it's too thick for you you can
reduce it like this you see how the
color of the Apple now look so you can
increase it here you can reduce it here
another thing that you can do you can do
something like this you can put big a
and then put a small a like this and
then your Apple comes like this but in
the book I am creating I'm just going to
create it like this so I'll put AA and
then I'll put the Apple like this and
then we go ahead we put our octopus we
do exactly the same thing that I just
showed you and we have our octopus and
you just do the same thing until you are
done with your entire book whenever you
put this you see you see the lines those
pink lines that are showing I don't know
if it's pink or what color you see how
it meets it just show you that your your
design is at the right position so you
make sure Overcomers please I cannot
emphasize this enough make sure you are
taking your time to create that amazing
product so I've gone ahead and I've done
my entire book you if you have follow my
channel for a while every time when I
create my book I make sure like I put
put this coloring book ABC coloring book
this is like the title page and then
this book belong to I have it here and
then I always make sure I put a
copyright and then another thing that I
always do on my books I come here and I
put like a thank you page and then I
encourage people to leave a review and
I'll put like a QR code and encourage
them to leave a review and so yeah that
is it we have our entire book so now
that we are done with our entire book we
see that we have 40 pages so what we
have to do is that we come here now now
and then you go to download and then
overcome as you make sure that you have
all your 40 pages here you change this
PNG and make sure you are putting it on
PDF print because this is high quality

your complete book here in PDF format so
the next thing when you are done with
this the next thing you have to do is to
design your cover one thing that you can
do if you are not able to design good
cover is to hire somebody on Fiverr I'm
going to put the link of some of them
that I've used down below or I'm also
going to show you how to design amazing
cover in in mid journey I had promised
you that I'm going to show you how I
actually get my prompt so this is one of
the way I do it so I'll come here
assuming that this is the book I was
interested in so what I'm going to do is
that I'm going to come here and I'm
going to
screenshot this the main reason I don't
want to copy this book my main reason is
not that I want to copy this book so
you'll see what I do now the next step
is to come to meet jeny you put your
forward slash and then you start typing
describe and then you take this and it
will ask you to upload the image so I'm
going to click here and I'll go now and
upload the image the screenshot that I
just had and I'm going to upload it like
this so after I upload it I'm going to
press enter see what will happen m j is
going to give me a description of this
image in four different ways so at this
point what I'm going to do is that I'm
just going to click here it's going to
do imagine all so what will happen is
that me Journey now will give me
different variation so sometimes if you
want you can come and take them
individually but since I'm trying to
figure out what is best I just always
just come here and I take imagine all so
at this point these are the different
different images that M Journey has
given me based on that description so
what I will do is that I think I like
the way this one look so I'm just going
to ask me jeny to give me different
variations of this particular one like
this so now this is what M jeny has done
and these are the different variation
you can keep going until you get the
best you can also always just adjust the
description so that it matches what you
want to do exactly so now at this point
I'm just going to go with this one so we
are going to take you4 and this is what
we have so far so with this now what
we'll do is that we'll just come here
and save image as and do exactly the
same thing we did and then we are going
to save the image the image we just
created we are going to use that to
design our cover it's the same idea I
use to be able to get high quality
Interiors for my book so now you go to
Google and you just type KDP cover
calculator and then you click here you
come here so you remember our book was
40 pages so you come here we are doing a
paper bag if you want to do hardback
fine your interior yes we want to do
black and white here we are doing let's
say white paper and then here you are
doing left to right and here we are
doing in inches interior size we're
doing we're doing 8.5 by 11 and number
of pages we had 40 pages you just come
here and then you click calculate so
it's going to calculate a dimension for
us and then the next thing you just come
here and then you download a template so
after you download a template if you
come here you'll see you have these
three things inside here so I want you
to come to this one in the middle that
says PNG that's what we need for now so
you just double click on it make sure
you take note of this value 17 something
you take note of this value overall
Dimension that's what we are going to
use in creating our cover so at this
point we'll go back to canva and then
you come here to customize now remember
we are creating our cover now and then
you come here to inches so you have to
put that overall Dimension that I showed
you and then you come here you create so
now we have this the next thing we are
going to do is that I'm going to come
here to upload and I'll go and I'll
upload and I'll upload this template
that we had gotten another way you can
do it you can actually just copy the
template and paste it here and then you
click here now it's exactly the same
size so what you will do is that you
just pull it like this and everything
will just fit perfectly so at this point
what I'm going to do is that I'm going
to upload the image I got from mid
journey and this is it so this is our
front page we are going to put it on
this side and now we are just going to
pull it like this the next thing that
I'm going to do you see how it has a b c
all of this I left it here intentionally
I wanted to show you what I do so what I
normally do is that I'll come here if I
have any defect in any part of any of my
books I'm going to come here then I'll
come to this magic eraser and what I'm
going to do is that I'll increase this
I'll just make sure that I'm able to use
it I'll come here and guess what I'm
just going to erase this other C because
we don't need it and I'm also going to
erase the K so I'm going to also erase
this K so over commerce please if you
ever make something like sometimes I've
seen reviews on Amazon people are saying
oh AI coloring book because you have
like 4 ft 5 ft why do you do that you
know this is you can just use this
eraser and erase everything that you
don't need on your coloring pages now
that we've taken that out what I will do
is that I'll just come here to text and
then I'm going to take a text like this
bring it here and I'm going to make it
white so that it's going to match our
design just like that and I don't like
the way it looks so I'll come here to
effects and I'll come here I'll take
this so that I have something at the
back now because that's too dark I'm
going to change it to purple to make it
look purple like so if you come here to
e and then you want this color right if
you want a particular color that is
already on the book what you do is that
you will come here and then you can take
this Color Picker and then you can come
anywhere here and let's say we take this
so you give you the exact color that was
here now what we can do at this point is
that I'm going to reduce it a bit so
I'll come here to transparency you see
what is happening so I'm going to reduce
that color a little bit and this is what
we now have so this space I'm going to
put something here so what I do here is
that I'll just come here to element so
if I click on element like that it will
give me different things I can take
something like this and then what I'll
do is that I'll come here and I'll
change the color I'll do exactly what I
just did I can take this color because
it's already here then I can use it to
put like the edge of the chai so we now
have something like this so overom our
book cover is coming out so you can do
whatever you want one thing that you can
do is that you can take some of the
illustration that you have and just put
them on this cover but this one is
already so crowded so I'm just showing
you the ideas exactly how you can create
amazing covers but if you know that you
are not able to make amazing covers I
encourage you to hire somebody very
cheap and I'm going to put some of the
links that I've already used Down Below
on Fiverr so you can hire somebody to
create your amazing cover for you but
it's also easy to do now at this point
what I'll do is that I'll just take this
and I'll put it at the back here if I
want the color to be purple I'll do
exactly what I just showed you and I'll
come here take color pier and I'll just
take the purple and it's right here and
then I'll also another thing that I'll
have to do is that I'm also going to put
another thing for the spine so now this
is our spine so I'll pull it down like
this and now I'll just come here to
position and make sure I put Center so
that it goes right to the middle and if
we want to change a color we do the same
thing and I'll just come here and I'll
take the purple so that it's like this
so this is our book cover now it is all
ready oh another thing that you can do
is that you can download some of the
pages from your book and then you also
put them here at the back here so it's a
way for you to even start displaying
your book just position it anywhere and
then you already this is like you
already selling the book you are making
customers to already see the kind of
designs that are inside the book so at
the end when you are done with
everything you just go ahead and come
here and then you download your book
make sure you are also downloading PDF
print make sure you taking the high
quality print and then you just download
your book Overcomer so we have done
everything the last stage now is to
upload our book to Amazon k KDP I want
you to know that if you have a high
quality book and you create a brand
those are the two main important things
you have a high quality books and then
you know reviews also matters and all of
that but this video we are not going to
be able to do all of that in this video
and many of you have been asking for a
step by step guide like a course and I
want to let you know that I'm going to
be releasing a course on January 27 2024
anybody who pre-orders this C is going
to have 50% off so if that's something
you're interested in you feel like you
need to go in details you need to
understand more you want somebody to
actually hold your hand I'm going to be
having live meetings with you guys and
I'm going to answer all your questions
so if that's something you're interested
in you can go ahead and buy that cost
I'm going to put the link down below so
our book cover is also ready so if you
are new to Amazon and you don't have an
account and then just type Amazon KDP is
going to bring you here
self-publishing and then you click here
there and then you create an account
because I have an account it's going to
bring me directly into my account so
what I want you to do is that I want you
to come here and click on create we are
doing a paper back so you come here you
create create paperback so and then at
this point you are going to Fe every
information so the title of the book
just make sure so this is my title you
can go and look at your competitors when
you were doing that research you saw the
different titles that we were having so
subtitle is very good just put something
that is going to add value to your book
and then if it's a series you can add it
here if not since this is your first
book you just keep going and then at
this point you put your name I'm just
putting something here this is not my
name not this is not my brand name I'm
just putting something here and then you
put description if you don't know how to
do description I've already created an
entire video based on this I'm going to
link it somewhere up here and then you
continue so when you get here at this
point you are going to be putting your
category what you do is that you come
here to choose category and then you
just click here so for example we are
doing a children children's book right
you click there under children's book
subcategory you can come here and just
look here and see what really really
resonate with your book for example
Early Learning that's what we have and
then you can click that and then you
come here you still bring another
subtitle basic concepts and then you
come here you still bring this see we
are doing a BC and then you can come
here you have fiction nonfiction our
book is a non-fiction book right and
then when you do that you just come here
and then you save your category and just
do the same you can have up to three
category one advice is that look at your
competitors and see where their books
are and you going to know where to put
your categories too so at this point I
had also mentioned to you how to check
your book without using publisher rocket
so this is what you can do so if you had
publisher rocket you can get your
keyword from publisher rocket and if you
don't have publisher rocket this is what
you can
do so you can just come here to Amazon
type ABC there are also some free tools
that you can use like AMZ suggestion
expander you can use that so you can
just come here and put ABC coloring book
as you start typing it you see it's
going to bring you different different
things so it's going to bring you
different different things different
different keywords that customers are
searching so you can take all these
keywords here take seven of them and put
it in that space you can also change ABC
books then you put coloring and then
you'll see it's going to bring up what
customers are actually typing so now
when you get all that information and
this is how you can also do your
research to know exactly the kind of
books that are in demand so at this
point you bring all of them and put here
so you make sure you are making use of
all this space you put all the seven and
now we go down until we save and we
continue so when you are here you can
either use your own ISBN or you can use
a free ISBN so let's take the free one
right here and then you come here you
take black and white interior and our
book you can put your size here the size
we using we were using 8.5 by 11 and
then our book is no bleed it just means
that we didn't have any pages that went
out and now I like to take glossy for
children book because it it makes it
very beautiful and then I'll just take
this and then we come here we just make
sure we upload our manuscript here go to
wherever you have your manuscript you go
ahead and then you upload
it so after you upload your manuscript
you also have to come here and then you
upload your cover so you just come here
go to where your cover is and you do the
same thing and then you just upload your
cover so after everything is
successfully uploaded Amazon get
information about AI generated content
and so yes we used it and what did we
use we used Char GPT so we put it here
our images we use mid journey to
generate our images you put it here
translation we did not we did not
translate this book so we put known here
and then we just save and continue then
you just come here now what we have to
do is that we have to launch preview our
book yay our book is ready there is no
error so it says quality check
everything looks perfect Overcomers just
look at the book we just created it's so
amazing if I hope you were following me
and creating yours you can go ahead and
flip through the pages and just check
everything and make sure everything
looks good and if you see that
everything looks good you just come here
and then you click on approve so after
you click on approve now we are in the
final stage what we have to do is that
we just have to put the prices so Amazon
tells us this is how much will cost this
is the amount of money that will cost
Amazon to print this book and then you
just say okay you save and continue I am
so excited we are starting 2024 on the
best note of our comers I pray that God
is going to help you as you start you
create your book please just make sure
you are having a brand you can have a
brand that only create books like this
but just make sure you are having a
brand um what I normally do is that I'll
start with a lower price like $7.99
after my book sales and I have so many
reviews I normally go in back and change
the price and make it a little bit
higher so and then another thing that I
do is that I make sure all these other
prices are $999.99 I don't like prices
that don't look good my prices are
always something 99 so I just go ahead
and change it like that and when I'm
done so I always normally say my book on
draft and then I make sure I follow up
to get reviews and all of that I'm going
to be making a separate video on how we
can do that and Overcomers if you
interested in knowing more in learning
more I have a course that is going to be
coming out on the 27 and I'm going to
put in the description box down below
the interest of this course only came up
from you guys because many of you were
asking for a c and so we are working on
that I'm recording the videos now and
I'm so excited and we are going to be
releasing on the 27th so it's 50% off
for anybody who buys it before the
release date so if you feel that you you
are ready to release your book you just
click here and you publish but I will
never advise that what I do is that my
books are very high quality what I
normally do is that I'll come here and
I'll request a proof copy and here I'll
come here I'll take amazon.com and this
is what I'm going to pay $2 something
for Amazon to print this book and send
to me so I will receive the copy I
normally receive it maybe sometimes I
even I use it color it that's how I get
my A+ content and I've already done a
video how to create A+ content that I'm
going to link somewhere here so that's
how I take that proof copy color it and
then use it for my A+ content and other
things and so commers I want to
encourage you that in this year 2024 if
we want to really make a difference if
we want to change our life forget about
the noise it's true that many people are
publishing books on Amazon especially
with AI people are just pouring books
there people are just creating low
quality book and putting on Amazon and
they are not making any sales that's not
us Overcomers please make sure you are
having a brand and making high quality
books just as I show you on this channel
so I just want to wish you all the best
and I'll see you in the next video love
you all so much
bye-bye it's been a while since we lay
down to reflect
[Music]
