In this video, I’m answering real Amazon KDP beginner questions straight from my Instagram Stories—because most people don’t need another “guru” speech, they need clarity. I break down the stuff that stops you before you even start: “I can’t draw,” “Is this even possible for me?”, “Is KDP really free?”, and even “I’m 55—am I too old?” I keep it simple: you don’t need to be an illustrator, you do need to believe you can learn the process, and you should understand the difference between KDP being free to upload vs. you choosing to invest in tools. I also share the beginner-friendly tools I’d use (like Canva and ChatGPT) to help you design and brainstorm faster without overcomplicating it. Then I get into how you actually make money on KDP: writing to market, doing niche research, and focusing on low competition so you’re not fighting giants on page one. And I’m super clear on this—uploading a book isn’t a business plan. If you want sales, you MUST market your book, and I talk about platforms I use for publishing and promotion plus what to do about ISBNs and barcodes so you’re not confused.
