Hello Jenny, I want to ask you something. I’m planning to subscribe to MJ with the $10 plan. Is it enough to create 3 coloring books, each with 50 images, and to create 50 covers? Can I download and use them after my subscription ends? Are there any free websites in addition to MJ? Thank you as always, your videos are very helpful.

If I use AI as a tool, but I heavily change it do I need to still click the button on the listing for ai?

😮 that means we authors will have to increase our prices now too. Been battling for 2 days to try format my 5.5" x 8.5" historical romance fiction novel. 😳😰 Can you please do a video on how to format books Jenny. I just don't know how to set the margins according to Amazon KDP specifications. It's so frustrating.

If we can't beat them, then we have to be better. I've already changed my business model.

Thank you for the confirmation of doing multiple books together. I am creating a children's book series. Also I am creating color books and activity books with the same characters.

Do you know if there's any issues around using a non-human name for a pen name? Ive seen posts on the KDP forums suggesting it's a cause of account suspensions. I have a pen name that does not contain key words, but would be a challenge to describe as human...

I don't know if any line journals or others in that category would sell for 9.99 when most people will not raise prices and there would be that competition. I would be interested in a series on how you market and what has worked for you. Thanks, great video!

Hi Jenny. I've just found you and am so grateful. I hope you can help me where noone seems to be able to!

How do i add more than 3 pen names...I can't find the contact to ask them to add it!

Also, how do i add pen names to different markets? It won't let me add a book to a market outside the primary because they don't have the different name registered. I thought they went across all markets...oops

ALSO.... LOL... i see a competitor who hasn't been in the market that much longer than me who has video matketing attached to their ads. How do i access that too, to stay competitive?

Hugs ❤

Amazon just killed the no-content and low-content book business.
People can't sell poor books at 10 / 11 dollar or more
Andf I think this is also the end for all those people who sell bad quality courses.

Good point. But isn't it true that the target customers for each type of books would be different? So what could be the connecting theme or connecting need between all these different book types?

I'm with you Jenny. I think this is a great opportunity. It is going to improve the experience for customers and publishers. I'm sure it is disheartening for some publishers. In the long run it's going to remove some of the junky poorly executed AI low & medium content books. We are going to need to bring our best products forward, do high quality A+ content and give people a reason to choose us. I think it will spill over into high content as well. At higher price points customers become more discerning so anyone who understands marketing has an advantage. Especially now with the current economic uncertainty in the US marketplace. To our success!

You have piqued my curiosity. What, pray tell, is the $150 self published book about? Dying to know. I have many valuable books but I either bought them new years ago and they became collectible or I hit very good yard sales. Mostly art books or museum books for exhibitions. My degree is in Art History.

Almost all my KDP books are priced at 5.99 USD. I started like a month ago. Hardly any sales... I sold 1 book from the 20 I now have.

I just bought a domain and I want to use it as a series name among other things. Should I trademark and/or copyright it? I’m going to attend your training btw! I’m starting from scratch and want to avoid as many pitfalls as possible! 🙏🙏

This is great Jenny! I am happy to have found your channel! Quick question: Does Amazon handle the sales tax for you on your books or do you have to submit it yourself? I was planning to apply to my state for my sales tax certificate but wanted to check with you since you show your Royalties, Sales etc. Thank you again for a wonderful video.

The best example of the 'loss leader' system is Amazon itself and now (before tariffs at least, Temu).
Thanks Jenny, another good one. Love your videos peppered with your personal experiences.

Books that cost under $9.99 (typically low content books) are going to be receiving 50% royalties rather than the previous 60% royalties. All books that cost $9.99 and above continue getting their 60% royalties.

Your advice has been good so far. As a person who’s used AI to assist, watching info about what it takes for copyright has helped me.

Fantasy novel series and characters and a world I’ve been building since 2022. I feel a major attachment to my characters, so your info has been helpful.

Oftentimes, it's hard just to come up with only one book idea. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to create 5 or 6 books under that one book 😐
Also, as far as i understand, you create a pen name for every niche you publish in, right? Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

The problem is that even though my book CONTENT is worth $9.99 imo, the quality of the printed book is crap and not worth that much - flimsy cover, thin see through paper on the pages.. sometimes the cover isn't centred or the colours are off.. if Amazon is going to charge that much they need to raise their printing quality 😢

I noticed I started making sales with no income. So 2 weeks ago, I changed all the prices of my books and there's been no sales since then...still hopeful though
