Bro, I dont have experience with picture book, but you may Google this.

Sorry.

I googled, but what I saw cannot be of help to me. It is okay, thanks anyway for your help.

Hello Bros 1234 or anyone experienced in KDP publishing. How do you format a picture book in Word for createspace. I formatted one in word and it compressed my pictures reduced the DPI. Before putting them in word, they pictures were 300 DPI meeting the request for createspace. However, after putting them in Word and resizing them, I uploaded the book to createspace and I was told that my pictures are 143 DPI. It means that they won't be uploaded. It means that they won't even be accepted. Any hint please Will be greatly appreciated.

It Public Service, close to Dutse, Junction.

einsteine:
Include the information in the front matter as well as the book description. That is, information about other books by that author.

So in the front matter, like my title page or other things, I should include my precious books and then in my books descriptions, I should also refer to those books written my me. Okay. I have to try.

[quote author=EkoErrands post=48841157][/quote]How to you make sure that when you are doing a promo, there are information about your other books available? Do you have to make a particular setting by doing that?

My greatest secret is that there is no secret.

1. I choose a niche I have a lot of knowledge.

2. I write quality stuff, at least to my best of ability.

3. I do basic and good proofreading (at least to my best ability)

4. I push the button ...that is publish...and then hope for the best.

5. I keep writing even when the ones published are not selling. I just write and publish more. I failed this Nov. cos I only published two books. That's failure to me. So far I have about 25 books on Amazon and sell about 5-10 daily.

6. This Nov, we have crossed $700 in sales...to the glory of God.

Thanks

Hmmmmmmm, 700 USD, I knew when you were earning 358 plus and not you have crossed. I am a newbie, I need to be thought. I wrote one book on diet, but it didn't sell as I expect. Did a free promotion and from Wednesday to Saturday and I got 26 downloads..it was really poor. Well, may be my key words are not really the perfect ones and so forth. I will be writing another book soon then I will run a free promotion and we what happens. I blessed God for your profit. You are making it so much. Continue to encourage us.

Thanks for the observation. I'm glad that the house here has also understood that and we have moved on. I am not Jude Ibro. It was a very bad mistake for that guy to just make unnecessary conclusions and accuse me falsely. But I have moved on.

At least, God don help me cross $500 in Amazon sales this month. So it is well

What is your secret Bros 1234, can you share it with the house please. I recently published a kdp book on Amazon on diet and did a free promotion for three days and I only got 25 downloads. May be there are secrets to selling on Amazon. Share them please. I am listening attentively

Visit the closest post office to your location and make the necessary enquiries. Your package should be with your local post office. Sometimes,they usually call you to come and pick up the package and sometimes they don't.

Thank you, I checked in the post office and they said there is nothing there. What could be the problem? I don't seem to understand?

Please I need help. I have been expecting a package from the US. The company that shipped it says it will arrive Nigeria from 14-23 November, 2016. I have not heard anything from them. I live in Gwarinpa, Abuja, which of the post office do I check to see if the packages has arrived. Although I used my house address as my delivery address.

Amazon sent me a love letter this morning. This I know that the reason why they sent me this is because of the recipes. MY PROBLEM IS, HOW DO YOU EDIT RECIPES. IF I CHANGE THE THE WORDS, IT WILL CHANGE THE INGREDIENTS and if I tell them that I have all the publishing rights, what will happen to my account. And how do you even edit a recipes or ingredient? When you change the ingredients, it changes every thing that you have said. Thank you sir. It is a recipes book with others stuff inside. But properly edited those stuffs. When I come to recipes, I could edit it because if you change one thing, the whole ingredient changes. Please O, I need help. This is what they sent me today.

I am trying to unload a boo with pictures, when I see check it in the previewer, the images does not show. It looks black with a dotted yellow sign on it. Help pleas.

Immorttal:
TRY COVERTING YOUR FILE TO PDF FORMAT. you can do this when saving the final file on microsoft word but make sure you have the original file as .doc or docx for future use.

Thank you for responding. I have tried uploading as pdf, doc, or docx and Htm(web page filtered form). You know that the problem is that the book that I an trying to upload contains a lot of pictures. Please can anyone help me. Oga MK82, Bros 1234, or any other guru in thr house.


2) My second question is, has anyone ever or published a book with pictures? How did you go about the formatting. Thank you for your anticipated response.

Please as a follow up to my post, whatever format I upload does not work. Be it docx, doc, html or whatever format. It is says error, unsupported file format.

Please, I need help urgently. I trying to upload a book to Amazon, but it tells "We encountered a problem while processing your file. THIS error may be due to a unsported or incorrectly formatted file. Please try uploading a different format.". The book contains alot of pictures. When I convert the book to doc from docx it scatters the book and picture. The same happens on Web page filtered form. Please, I am currently online please, to upload my first book for commercial sale. I want to sell with this book. Is there any way to upload book with pictures in a different form or way.

[quote author=bros1234 post=50671041]UPDATE:

This is my 3rd month in publishing in Amazon Kindle. Here is my updates so far.

Total books: 20
Niche: My Personal Passion

Month 1 (Aug) - $110
Month 2 (Sep) - $359
Month 3 (Oct) - $478

OCTOBER BREAKDOWN

CreateSpace (US Marketplace) - $70.30
CreateSpace (UK Marketplace) - #8.33

KDP -US - $348.75
KDP - UK - #52.34

I ignored adding up the other ones and also counted the pounds as dollars, so that I don't exaggerate anything. So add the createspace earning and KDP earning, you'll get my calculation for Oct.



LESSONS

I have now proved that this works. It's now time to scale up into other niches. I have also improved my writing speed and skills so much that I can now write 5-6000 words per day.

If you are still sitting on the fence, come on and give this business a chance. My major reason for considering this business model is that you can keep earning from these books for life. No more work on your part. Isnt that great?

I hope I have motivated someone. I don't know if I will share further earning proof. I may or may not.

Thanks to @mk82 for being a great open hearted leader.




What a wonderful and exponential profit that you have made Bros 1234. You have indeed motivated some people like us. However, I want to learn from you, how come did you get 20 books within such a short time. Did you write all the books and if you did, how fast. Did you outsource some of your books. If you did, how much did you invest in your business. Again, give me your personal hint on niches. Outside that, if you can tell me things that will help me on Kindle publishing, I will be grateful. Then any other hint will equally help me. Thanks for your answers in anticipation.

I have been following this thread for a long time now. are books Amazon best sellers rank of 150,000 or 200,00, a profitable niches.
