How To Upload and Publish a Book On Amazon In 10 Minutes (Kindle Direct Publishing)

____________________________________________________________________

In this video, I go over how to properly upload and publish your self-published books onto Amazon KDP or Kindle Direct Publishing with an easy step by step tutorial. This process is pretty quick and easy and should only take 10-15 minutes to do it for both your Ebook and Paperback versions of your book. This is also the first step to getting your books on to ACX and Audible if you plan on making audiobooks in the future!

i really appreciate how concise and short your videos are while still being so informational. i watch most youtube videos on 1.5x or 2.0x speed but i don’t need to do that here :)

Do you have a video on how to format for Kindle?

[sensavia]

Thank you for the video, im new to this just wrote my first ebook and used Canva to help, the biggest issue im having is that upon converting to PDF as they suggest the preview has the distorted the first page and the contents page... and i dont know how to fix this. I went on to kindle community and didnt get any answers. Any help here would be grately appreciated

Hi Dane,

When filling the Title and Subtitle do we have to enter the "colon (:) punctuation mark" after the Title of our book?
Or will it be added automatically once the book is published?
Please check the below example. I'm talking about the colon after the Title (the word beginners).

New Diabetic Cookbook for Beginners: Easy, Tasty & Low-Carb Recipes for the Whole Year

Also is it ok to add both Title and Subtitle in the Title box together? (I mean without adding a subtitle)

Thank you.

After keeping the e -book drafted.. I have to set up for the paperback one.. and finally upload by clicking continue set up in both format?

[marymontgomeryclifford]

Thanks so much. I am about to publish my first KDP paperback. Most videos I've seen end by stating that you click on publish. I was wondering about clicking on draft especially since I want to order a proof copy. Is the book OK'd by KDP while it is draft? Also, do you ever get proof copies before publishing?

My phone won’t play the last half of the webinar 😞 I’ve tried so many times and it’s glitching. Any tips? I really want the recording so I can watch it back when I start working on this! Thanks for the help 😍

[upbeatmusic]

And for the bundle? Can I set 9, 99 for ebook and 19, 99 for paperback?

[meinarodes]

Does the "Subtitle" section still rank the keywords the same as the "Title" section?

[karanprajapati]

Why my book is not uploading is it due to colour picture in it

[craigargo]

Can you make your ebook free on the day you launch it?

[lisasmith]
