Creating and publishing KDP no content and low content journals to sell can be a daunting process when you're just starting out as there is a lot of information to take into account and understand. There are also many tools out there to create and publish books on the Amazon KDP platform and it is difficult to know where to start. In this video I break down the whole process from the creation of a journal to the upload to the Amazon platform. I show you where to find the free tools, including Canva, and how to use them, breaking down the whole process into 3 stages - the book cover creation, interior creation and then, finally, the upload to Amazon. If you are trying to start an online business or want to create a journal to sell on KDP then this is the perfect start. Journals can be used to make a passive income online and can be done using a laptop or computer from home or anywhere in the world.

    I created 4 journals on Friday night after watching this. Amazon started approving them on Saturday and they became live and available for purchase on Sunday. Thank you so much!!!
  • @gnadinedavis
    Thanks so much Paul. I truly appreciate your user friendly, down to earth instructions. I’ve created my first journal at 72 years of age and it makes me feel wonderful that this old grand ma has accomplished this, five years after publishing my first book. God bless and prosper you sir.
  • I know that this was made 1 year ago, but this is the gift that keeps on giving!!!!! I really appreciate your step-by-step directions. And because of you, I feel comfortable enough to move forward and get it done THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
  • @lacitafleming
    This is a fabulous tutorial! Easy to understand, simple steps and the most attractive part was that it was free! I appreciate the time that you’ve took to put all of this together along with your pleasant energy. A+++
  • I've looked a LITERALLY TONS of videos about Amazon KDP, and this if by far the most straight forward, well explained I've seen! Including the fact that you don't RUSH through the step by step process. Thank you!!!
  • I needed this video three years ago. I painstakingly made my own notebook using Canva knowing nothing about how to do it effectively, and I haven't done it since. Thanks to your video, I feel more confident! Thank you so much for this video!
  • @KristalMosley
    I created a notebook and without any hiccups I was published! I'm creating more. TY PAUL.
  • Thank you, Paul. I have been researching how to create a low-content book the right way for some time now. Everyone has great ideas but no one has broken them down like you or provided the much-needed sites to get things going. I just created my first book after viewing your tutorial. I am so excited there's no stopping me now!!!
  • @jennygfall6301
    Thank you so much Paul! Your videos are very user friendly and I love the step by step instructions. I literally created a journal while watching your video. I'm a visual learner and your videos are great for teaching the process. Thanks again for all the useful information!
  • @reneemeyer4672
    Wow! I have never had something in detail and so easy to follow. I just published my first notebook in Amazon as I followed your video. Thank you so much and with much respect and appreciation. Wish me luck!
  • @ET-ns3hj
    WOW!! I just made my very first notebook and published to Amazon KDP. I've watched this before but only now I get the courage to do it. Thank you so much!!
  • I've self-published and traditionally published and this was very straightforward and easy to follow - I will be recommending your videos to my friends who want to start in making things for KDP. Thanks!
  • Hey, Paul. I'm a space opera author trying to finally make a profit by working on Amazon ads. It takes me months to write books. Now, thanks to you, I'm going to publish space-themed notebooks etc. Then I will set up other pen names to sell other-styled low content books. Who knows, this might fund my sci-fi publishing until I do make it as an indie author. You are a STAR. Did anyone ever tell you that? Well, you are. Amazing teacher, with a kind soul. Thank you 😊
  • @lemonheadap
