    Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion. As a designer, I've been into low content publishing and found how affordable the entry point is to publish.
    Realizing this low cost of publishing books on KDP, I thought about bringing an idea from my past to life with writing children books while simultaneously creating children low content books.
    I'll follow you along your journey of writing a children's book via your module videos. Then sign up with Nuria's course - which looks fantastic! From your video you mentioned the course first researches what parents are looking for in children stories so we can write books that are in demand.
    Thanks again for sharing : )

    • @MyFreedomEmpire

    Hi again. And that is awesome. Congratulations!
    I also want to try my hand in writing and selling kid's books on KDP. But I was wondering, if you don't have a laptop but only a Tablet, can you still create kids book content?

    • @MyFreedomEmpire
      @MyFreedomEmpire  Před 2 lety +2

      Hello! Thank you! If you have some good apps you could probably do it on a tablet. I used Canva, Powerpoint and Photoshop so if you can use those or something similar and then be able to export as a PDF there should be no issue.

  • @artlover5226
    @artlover5226 Před 2 lety +1

    Hi love your videos. I posted a similar question in one other video of your, but this is slightly different I am planning to upload a paper book/ebook for children to kdp. Don’t want to use my name. I don’t have any brand name or pen name decided and nothing trademarked. I am confused what should I use on the copyright page and what should I use for author name on book cover. I heart Amazon let’s you use 3 pen names. But still confused how to make pen names and add where and how to use .Shall I just come up with any random name and start using? It’s confusing

    • @MyFreedomEmpire
      @MyFreedomEmpire  Před 2 lety

      Hello! Thank you! On the copyright page you just put whatever pen name or publishing brand name you have decided to use. Amazon allows you to use as name pen names as you want. When you are uploading your book there is a section to enter the author name or publisher name and that's where you put your chosen pen name. Hope that helps.

    So this may be a silly questions, but after you have published, who takes care of the printing/shipping? Does Amazon do all that for you? Or do you have to print multiple books and keep an inventory and then mail out once a purchase comes through?

    So helpful ♥️🙏.. Do you see Nuria Corbi's course is worth getting ? I am a begginer to KDP and its been 3 months now and still no results.. Should I be more patient ? I live in Africa and 147$ is...money to us 😂, this is why i asked if the course is worth getting...

    • @MyFreedomEmpire
      @MyFreedomEmpire  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you! Nurias course is worth it if you want to create children's books. Low content is very different though and personally I think it's harder to sell children's books than low content books so if the price is holding you back, focus on low content - definitely give it more than a few months. A lot of us don't start making a decent amount of money until a year or more from starting.
