Publishing KDP no content, low content and medium content books is a great online business for beginners to get started in on their journey to building a passive income. However, there are some common mistakes that I see many beginners make that can stop them from making sales, prevent them from even starting the business or getting their KDP account terminated. In this video I discuss the 5 most common mistakes I see beginners make and some suggested solutions to these mistakes.

Hi Paul, I just want to thank you for all that you do. I think you are the only YouTuber on the subject of KDP publishing that is not screaming about making thousands of dollars a month! Your training teaches the reality of publishing, one step at a time. Everytime I feel down about my low sales, I watch you, and it gives me the energy I need. Thank you again for everything and please continue to make great videos.

Yesterday was the first time I ever walked into a food bank for free food donations, and because of that it was also the first day that I finally pushed myself into submitting my first low content KDP book for review. This is just a starting point to get the ball rolling. My goal is to generate enough income so that we can eat and buy clothing and books and eventually be able to donate to the local food bank that is now helping to feed us.

Thank you, Paul, for all your good advice. My first book “The Gift of 476 Days” was written last fall after my granddaughter died of HLHS. I needed help publishing the book and found your videos to be of great help. It took well over a month to figure out the process with lots of help from other knowledgable people, but the paperback was finally published on January 9, 2024. Now I am dabbling in getting other books published as well, which should keep me off the streets and happily productive. Thanks again for all your practical advice and help. You’re the best!

Great advice Paul and a message to others out there just getting started. Keep going!! Keep focusing on making quality books and you'll get there :). I'm at 85 books now and when I was at 30 books I thought I'd never make any money. Keep going! Thanks Paul (aka the godfather of Book Publishing on YouTube!)

I took action after watching 1 of your videos last week and am now published on KDP and moving forward to create the audiobook. Also went ahead and created a journal that I’ll be posting hopefully today or tomorrow. I’m grateful for your insight Paul and sharing knowledge. I’m not perfect of course and have procrastinated but taking your advice and just running with it in faith. Thank you brotha
