Staying On Track
Earlier this week, sickness came calling.
No matter how much I tried, I wasn’t able to do much work.
The truth is, we can't always stick to our planned schedules. Unforeseen events, like sickness, can derail our immediate goals.
But it's not about the setbacks; it's about how we respond to them.
The key is not to dwell on what couldn't be done but to focus on getting back on track as soon as possible.
Progress, no matter how small, is still progress.
Each Sunday in January, I will be walking my newsletter subscribers through my process of creating books.

To help me prepare content for Sunday 28th, please let me know:
How to Upload a Paperback Book to Amazon KDP with Correct Metadata
Before you start the upload process, ensure that your manuscript is formatted according to Amazon KDP's print guidelines.
This includes adhering to the correct trim size, margins, and font requirements. Your cover must also be formatted for print, taking into account the back cover and spine. Use the KDP cover calculator website to get the correct trim.
Step 2: Sign in to Amazon KDP
Access the Amazon KDP website and sign in with your Amazon account.
Step 3: Start a New Paperback Title
Once logged in, select "Create a new title" and choose "Paperback." This option is specifically for physical books.
Step 4: Enter Book Details
Entering the correct metadata is crucial in this step. Metadata includes:
Book Title and Subtitle: The keywords in your book's title and subtitle are crucial for ranking on Amazon. They play a key role in ensuring your book appears in relevant searches, as Amazon's algorithm heavily weighs titles in determining your book’s search relevance. A well-chosen title with appropriate keywords enhances visibility, optimizes for Amazon's search engine, attracts the right audience.
Publishing Rights: Confirm that you have the necessary publishing rights for the content.
Description: Write a compelling and clear description of your book. This will appear on your book’s Amazon page.
Backend Keywords: Choose relevant keywords that reflect your book’s content and genre.
Categories: Select the most appropriate categories for your book to help potential readers find it.
Author and Contributors: Include the names of all contributors, such as co-authors or illustrators.
I recommend that you watch the first 5 minutes of this video I created to walk you through the book details again.
Step 5: Upload Your Manuscript and Cover
Upload your manuscript file and cover art. For paperbacks, Amazon KDP accepts PDF files. Make sure the files meet the technical specifications provided by Amazon, including the size and quality of the cover.
Step 6: Complete the ISBN
Enter your ISBN if you have one. If not, Amazon assigns a free ISBN to your book.
Step 7: Set Your Book’s Print Options
Choose the paper type, ink type, and trim size for your book. These options will affect the print quality and cost of your book.
Step 8: Declaring AI Content
If you have used AI content it’s important to be upfront and honest, Amazon isn’t against it.
Step 8: Set Pricing and Distribution
Decide on the retail price of your book. Consider the printing costs, which vary based on the options you selected, to determine your royalties.
Step 9: Review and Submit
Review all details carefully. Pay special attention to the print preview to ensure everything looks as expected.
Once satisfied, submit your book for publishing.
If you have any issues, you can always ask me directly.
The creation of anything meaningful is not a sprint; it’s a marathon.
