00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,790
Now, there are thousands of composition
notebooks selling on Amazon.
1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,270
However, I'm going to be showing you how
to use a I tools in order to create
2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,160
unique books that will stand out amongst
the crowd.
3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,790
This video is going to cover 4 easy steps
to help you upload your composition
4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,510
notebooks. So first of all, we're going to do a
5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,040
little bit of research to help you narrow
down a niche, then the composition
6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,870
notebook cover creation, then finding an
interior, and then finally uploading to
7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,930
Amazon KDP So for research it's important
that you create what people are looking
8
00:00:32,940 --> 00:00:35,340
for and you also validate your idea.
9
00:00:35,620 --> 00:00:38,020
And for research I mainly use Amazon
10
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:44,090
using two free tools and the first is AMZ
Suggestion Expander and this is going to
11
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:48,770
give you a lot more keywords so you know
exactly what people are searching for.
12
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:53,250
And the second is self-publishing Titans
and this is going to give us more
13
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:56,700
specific numerical data so that we can
validate that idea.
14
00:00:56,870 --> 00:01:01,060
Now we're going to go to the search bar
and type in the specific book that we
15
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:03,470
want to create, which is just composition
notebooks.
16
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:08,380
And then the AMZ expander is going to
give us a lot of the words that people
17
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:09,380
are searching for.
18
00:01:09,390 --> 00:01:10,820
So you're going to be able to get so many
19
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:15,380
different kind of ideas about books to
create and what you want to do is click
20
00:01:15,390 --> 00:01:16,540
on any that interests you.
21
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:18,060
So in this instance, we're going to go
22
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:22,540
with composition notebooks, aesthetic and
then like to take a look through the
23
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:26,860
books and find some keywords that we can
put into the search bar so we can see
24
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:32,140
that this book here, he's got a really
low BSR of 33,000 thousand anything under
25
00:01:32,150 --> 00:01:36,430
a hundred thousand is amazing and we can
see some words such as vintage and
26
00:01:36,470 --> 00:01:39,180
botanical. Then the two to the far left also have
27
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:44,140
really low Bsrs and we're seeing the same
kind of keywords again of vintage and
28
00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:46,540
botanical. So what we can do is go back to the
29
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:48,870
search bar again and just.
30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,750
Type into the search bar some of the
31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,670
words that we found on those books that
are doing really well.
32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,510
So first we can try botanical and just
see if people are actually searching for
33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,950
that. So we can see that yes, it's come up in
34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,950
the search bar, so we can just have a
click of that and then see what type of
35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,200
results that we get.
36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,750
And we have a much lower search result,
37
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,430
855 So there's less books to complete
with and we've got more chance of getting
38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,080
on that first page and getting a sale.
39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,270
So we can see that this first book here
40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,600
has a really low BSR of 47,000 thousand
but they're also running ads as well.
41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,750
But we can get an idea from that.
42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,630
They've kind of got a lunar moth
43
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,550
butterfly idea.
So that's something that we might want to
44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,070
think about and note down.
45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,830
Then if we have a look at this next book,
46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,350
it hasn't made any sales yet, so we're
not going to look at that, but this third
47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,030
book again with a really low PSR of
37,000 thousand and it's just a vintage
48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,590
botanical illustration.
So it's kind of a floral design that we
49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,960
can again think about.
50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,750
And this third book is the same book as
51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,190
the first.
Then if we take a look at the fourth book
52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,390
as well, still has a good BSR of roughly
250,000 thousand and it's just antique
53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,710
wild plants, then the fourth book that's
not a low content book, so we can skip.
54
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,520
Through that and then this fifth book
here is has a BSR of over a million.
55
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:17,640
They've created a red poison mushroom
cover which isn't getting too many sales.
56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,630
Then this next book here, it's got a BSR
of 450,000 thousand i've gone with a
57
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,710
fruit and flowers, so something we want
to take a note of.
58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,950
You've got another mushroom vintage
botanical illustration here and that has
59
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,840
a BSR of 45,000 thousand.
60
00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:34,850
And the book after also has a really good
61
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:38,010
BSR of 33,000 thousand based on bees.
62
00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:40,370
And I'm noticing quite a few of these
63
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:43,540
books are by the same author, CC
Wanderer.
64
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:47,450
And this author has created a lot of
quality books in this niche and could
65
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:52,690
possibly be running maybe lottery ads in
order to get more traffic to these books.
66
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,450
So that might be something that you want
to think about when creating your
67
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:58,570
composition notebooks.
And I've done a video on these very low
68
00:03:58,580 --> 00:04:02,660
cost ads that are going to get a bit more
traffic to your composition notebooks
69
00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:03,330
because it is.
70
00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:05,170
Quite a competitive niche and it can be
71
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:08,450
challenging to get into, but we found an
in demand niche.
72
00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:12,740
So what we need to start doing is
creating the cover and the interior.
73
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:16,170
So for the second part, for the
composition notebook cover creation,
74
00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:20,050
we're going to be using an AI tool called
Mid Journey and you can take a look at
75
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,140
some of the.
76
00:04:21,779 --> 00:04:24,530
Vintage botanical designs that I've been
77
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:27,620
working on.
You can see the just the level of detail
78
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:28,730
and high quality.
79
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:32,090
The mid journey is able to create and
80
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,970
just scrolling through you can see the
various designs.
81
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:36,580
On the far left you've got a floral.
82
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:38,620
Next to that we've got blue butterflies,
83
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:42,690
more butterflies there and then moth to
the far right hand side.
84
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:46,100
Then we've got some more floral designs
and moth designs.
85
00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:51,300
To the far left you've got a B design and
followed by more botanical.
86
00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:55,450
Designed for you to take a look at so
it's just about learning the right type
87
00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:59,810
of prompts to type in order to get the
design that you want in this video.
88
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:02,890
I'm not going to go through all the
basics of mid Journey, I've already done
89
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:04,340
that in a previous video.
90
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:06,730
But if you paid, if you got a paid
91
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:10,130
subscription then you're going to get
your own bot rather than being in one of
92
00:05:10,140 --> 00:05:12,820
the newbie rooms which can get a bit
messy.
93
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:16,930
So you can take a look at some of the
prompts that I've already done and this
94
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:20,330
will give you a good idea how to get
started with your own designs so we can
95
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:21,770
see that for these four.
96
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,530
Images The prompt that I have put in is
97
00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:26,820
vintage botanical illustrations.
98
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:29,370
I put floral, I put pattern, then I put
99
00:05:29,380 --> 00:05:33,860
dash, dash, ar which is just asect ratio
2 and then three.
100
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:38,810
And this just gives us a more portrait
design rather than the rectangle that it
101
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:42,850
usually provides us with, which is a lot
more useful for the books that we'll be
102
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:45,170
creating. So you've got a few options below.
103
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:51,770
U123 and four is just to upscale any of
the images that you do like and then V1
104
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:52,810
two three and four.
105
00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:55,370
It's just to create variations of any of
106
00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:00,530
those images that again you like but you
just want some slight changes O we have
107
00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:05,780
uscaled number three and it has come out
with a nice floral design.
108
00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:10,890
Now, if you want to start creating your
own prompts and designs, then you're
109
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:14,540
going to need to come to the bottom and
put forward slash Imagine.
110
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:17,900
Then it's going to allow us to start
typing in our own prompt.
111
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:21,770
So if we're going to follow the designs
that I've created, just make sure that
112
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:24,500
you put in vintage botanical
illustrations.
113
00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:29,400
And then let's say we wanted to do
something on butterflies or pink
114
00:06:29,410 --> 00:06:33,970
butterflies, then we put pattern and then
we put aspect ratio two and three.
115
00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:37,490
Then I've spit it up a little bit so it's
already created the designs.
116
00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:42,170
And if you like any in particular, let's
go with We like number one.
117
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:47,610
Then all you need to do is Click to
upscale number one and then it's going to
118
00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:52,650
create a high resolution image in which
you can choose to download it.
119
00:06:52,660 --> 00:06:56,020
But in order to download it, what you're
going to need to do is.
120
00:06:56,410 --> 00:07:02,010
Go over to where it says web and click on
that and then just make sure you click
121
00:07:02,290 --> 00:07:07,920
and then it's going to take us to a page
where we can save and download this
122
00:07:07,930 --> 00:07:10,420
design. Now what you can do if you are struggling
123
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:15,300
for ideas or prompts is just to scroll
further down the page where we're going
124
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:19,110
to see a section where it allows you to
explore related designs.
125
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:22,980
Then all you can do is just hover over
and take a look at the prompts that other
126
00:07:22,990 --> 00:07:27,670
people have used to type in order to get
the design that's being created.
127
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:31,860
Next, what we are going to need to do is
improve the resolution of the design just
128
00:07:31,870 --> 00:07:35,620
to be able to see the more intricate
details and for this, the best website
129
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:39,230
i've found is big jpg dot com.
130
00:07:39,310 --> 00:07:42,470
As this allows you to at least upload 5
131
00:07:43,070 --> 00:07:46,390
PNG files during a seven day period and
the quality is outstanding.
132
00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:49,660
So just make sure you select your image
that you want to upload and then click
133
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:52,510
start and just make sure you choose
artwork.
134
00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:58,740
The most you can upscale is 4 times and
the noise reduction is not needed, but
135
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:00,860
upscaling it four times is more than good
enough.
136
00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:05,020
If you wanted to do it 8 or 16 times you
have to get the paid subscription and
137
00:08:05,030 --> 00:08:08,630
then once it's done we're going to take a
look and compare.
138
00:08:08,870 --> 00:08:12,540
Both designs, so if you just take a look
at the one on the far left that's created
139
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:18,900
in mid journey then the one to the far
right is the upscaled image and you can
140
00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:23,820
see the closer we get on the far left it
does start to get quite blurry whilst on
141
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:25,150
the far right.
142
00:08:25,780 --> 00:08:27,650
The more that we zoom in on the upscaled
143
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:32,490
image, you can still really see the
intricate details really clearly and
144
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:39,289
that's the importance of upscaling this
design, just so that when you do enlarge
145
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:44,130
it in Canva your cover that you still are
able to see the intricate designs and
146
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:47,090
details. Now if you're like me and you create a
147
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:51,650
lot of designs on Mid Journey to sell on
Amazon and other marketplaces, then you
148
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:55,450
are going to need an upscaling tool and
this is the cheapest I've found so far
149
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:59,610
so. Even for the 6$ you get to upload over
150
00:08:59,620 --> 00:09:06,860
500 files each month, over a two-month
period you've got a standard offer for
151
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:12,570
six months which is 12$ and you get to
upload over a thousand files each month.
152
00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:17,890
And finally the premium which is for a
duration of 12 months only 22$ and each
153
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:21,810
month you get to upscale over 2000 files.
154
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:23,450
So once the files have been upscaled
155
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:25,700
we're going to need to go over to KDP
cover.
156
00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:31,530
Calculator and then enter all our
informations in order to get the correct
157
00:09:31,540 --> 00:09:32,770
dimensions for the cover.
158
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:34,850
So we know it's paperback black and white
159
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:36,530
paper left to right.
160
00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:38,650
We know that the books inches and the
161
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:44,090
interior trim size is 7 5 by 9 2-5 Then
finally the page count I usually go for
162
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:45,580
is 120 pages.
163
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,210
Then we just need to calculate the
164
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:52,210
dimensions and it's going to give us all
the information in order to get our cover
165
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:53,090
size correct.
166
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,770
So for the full cover we know that it's
167
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:59,610
15 5.
To by 9 5 and then what we can do is just
168
00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:04,650
go over to Canva in order to create our
cover because it's free and everyone's
169
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:06,420
able to have access to it.
170
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:10,130
So in Canva to start creating our cover
171
00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:13,930
we're going to need to go to the top
right hand corner and click create a
172
00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:17,260
design. And then we're going to need to put in
173
00:10:17,270 --> 00:10:25,340
the dimensions that we know from KDP
cover calculator which is 15 5 to by 9 5
174
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:28,430
and click create a new design.
175
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:29,740
So then it's going to come up with a
176
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:33,980
blank page.
I've already created some covers so all
177
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:38,660
you need to do is create the spine first
of all, which is pretty easy to do and
178
00:10:38,670 --> 00:10:44,340
all you need to do is go to elements and
find a square and then you can stretch it
179
00:10:44,350 --> 00:10:47,780
out. So that it becomes a spine and I've kind
180
00:10:47,790 --> 00:10:51,630
of matched it with leaves so that it just
looks really nice.
181
00:10:51,870 --> 00:10:57,820
Then the next part is just you need to
upload the designs and then you put it on
182
00:10:57,830 --> 00:11:00,700
one side and then just flip it over onto
the other side.
183
00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:05,060
Then add some text and you can do that
using the far left and then just put down
184
00:11:05,070 --> 00:11:06,950
the word composition notebook.
185
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:09,980
Then all you need is 3 lines below that
186
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:12,590
so somebody can maybe write their name.
187
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,070
Class or whatever they want in that
188
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,470
section and then you can also see I've
created another cover using the B designs
189
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,800
in Mid Journey which look really good as
well.
190
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,510
And once you do have this template then
the covers are interchangeable so you can
191
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,480
create quite a few different interesting
covers.
192
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,310
Now to download it all we're going to
need to do is go to the top right hand
193
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,560
corner, click share.
194
00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:40,260
And then go over to download, make sure
195
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:46,940
that we put it down as a PDF, print, and
then select the specific cover that we
196
00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:53,350
want to download and then make sure that
it's Cmyks best for printing.
197
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:57,500
You will have to have the Canva Pro
subscription in order to download it in
198
00:11:57,510 --> 00:12:01,470
this way, but you can try it free for 30
days and cancel at any time.
199
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:05,210
Now for the interior, we're going to be
using Creative Fabrica and that's just a
200
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:11,450
digital marketplace that has interiors,
fonts and so many tools which are useful
201
00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:12,820
for our KDP business.
202
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:14,210
Now all you need to do is type in
203
00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:20,250
composition notebook at the top and then
search for the size and the amount of
204
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:24,650
page that you need, make sure commercial
usage is allowed.
205
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:27,170
Then all we need to do is download it.
206
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:28,690
So this final step is just going to be
207
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,690
uploading your book to Amazon KDP and all
you need to do is.
208
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,580
Go to Google and type in Amazon KDP.
209
00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:35,980
Setting up your account is pretty easy.
210
00:12:36,740 --> 00:12:40,490
And then once you've done all of that,
you'll find this page and then you just
211
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:45,090
need to click the Create button and then
create Paperback.
212
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:47,340
That's what we'll be focusing on today.
213
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:48,770
The first thing we're going to need to do
214
00:12:48,780 --> 00:12:51,940
is choose a title which is just
composition, notebook, then subtitle
215
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:53,970
including all the important keywords.
216
00:12:53,980 --> 00:12:55,530
That's going to help our book rank and
217
00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:57,530
just make sure that we're not keyword
stuff in.
218
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:02,450
Then after this you just need to choose
your author name choose something that's
219
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:05,090
unique. Then after that we just we're just going
220
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:10,060
to create a description or actually use
chat gpt for this just to create a hook
221
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:15,570
and then a book description and then a
few bullet points quite simple to do then
222
00:13:15,580 --> 00:13:18,700
which need to take that we own the
copyright.
223
00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:22,250
Then you need to make sure that you fill
in the seven back end to keywords.
224
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:25,850
Make sure you find words that are all
relevant to your book to ensure that your
225
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:27,290
book does rank really well.
226
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,020
And after this you've got the categories
227
00:13:29,060 --> 00:13:31,620
so make sure you choose two categories
for your book.
228
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:33,810
There is a low content book and then tick
no.
229
00:13:33,820 --> 00:13:37,450
If your book does not contain bad
language or inappropriate material then
230
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:41,650
we're onto the second part and you're not
going to need an ISBN as it's a low
231
00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:44,330
content book.
Just make sure that the book is black and
232
00:13:44,340 --> 00:13:47,180
white interior with white paper.
233
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:48,610
Then you need to make sure you select
234
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:49,290
your book size.
235
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,100
In this instance we know 7 5 by 9 2-5
236
00:13:52,610 --> 00:13:56,880
That it is bleed as the lines are going
to go all the way to the edge and you can
237
00:13:56,890 --> 00:13:59,120
read. If you don't understand that then I
238
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:02,050
always go with Matt for my composition
notebooks.
239
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:06,200
Then we just upload in the interior and
the cover, which can sometimes take a
240
00:14:06,210 --> 00:14:07,320
little bit of time.
241
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:08,760
And as soon as they're both uploaded, you
242
00:14:08,770 --> 00:14:10,730
can click launch Previewer.
243
00:14:11,130 --> 00:14:12,800
And then you're going to see your book
244
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:17,600
come up and you just make sure that
there's nothing wrong with the book and
245
00:14:17,610 --> 00:14:20,120
that no errors are coming up or there's
nothing that needs to change.
246
00:14:20,130 --> 00:14:22,600
And then just take a look through the
interior and.
247
00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:26,200
Through all the pages and once you're
happy with everything, then all you need
248
00:14:26,210 --> 00:14:32,280
to do is make sure you click approve and
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and
249
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:35,410
you're going to see the printing costs.
250
00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:37,410
Then click save and continue.
251
00:14:37,730 --> 00:14:41,840
And here you just need to select the
price of your book.
252
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:46,320
I always go with five ninety nine for my
composition notebooks, I price it
253
00:14:46,330 --> 00:14:51,320
competitively and then I round all the
other prices to 99 as well and you can
254
00:14:51,330 --> 00:14:52,600
see your royalty.
255
00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:54,880
Tease how much you'll make for each
256
00:14:54,890 --> 00:14:58,040
marketplace. Then you just Scroll down to the bottom
257
00:14:58,050 --> 00:15:01,260
once you're happy with everything, and
then publish your paperback book.
