Now, there are thousands of composition notebooks selling on Amazon.

However, I'm going to be showing you how to use a I tools in order to create

unique books that will stand out amongst the crowd.

This video is going to cover 4 easy steps to help you upload your composition

notebooks. So first of all, we're going to do a

little bit of research to help you narrow down a niche, then the composition

notebook cover creation, then finding an interior, and then finally uploading to

Amazon KDP So for research it's important that you create what people are looking

for and you also validate your idea.

And for research I mainly use Amazon

using two free tools and the first is AMZ Suggestion Expander and this is going to

give you a lot more keywords so you know exactly what people are searching for.

And the second is self-publishing Titans and this is going to give us more

specific numerical data so that we can validate that idea.

Now we're going to go to the search bar and type in the specific book that we

want to create, which is just composition notebooks.

And then the AMZ expander is going to give us a lot of the words that people

are searching for.

So you're going to be able to get so many

different kind of ideas about books to create and what you want to do is click

on any that interests you.

So in this instance, we're going to go

with composition notebooks, aesthetic and then like to take a look through the

books and find some keywords that we can put into the search bar so we can see

that this book here, he's got a really low BSR of 33,000 thousand anything under

a hundred thousand is amazing and we can see some words such as vintage and

botanical. Then the two to the far left also have

really low Bsrs and we're seeing the same kind of keywords again of vintage and

botanical. So what we can do is go back to the

search bar again and just.

Type into the search bar some of the

words that we found on those books that are doing really well.

So first we can try botanical and just see if people are actually searching for

that. So we can see that yes, it's come up in

the search bar, so we can just have a click of that and then see what type of

results that we get.

And we have a much lower search result,

855 So there's less books to complete with and we've got more chance of getting

on that first page and getting a sale.

So we can see that this first book here

has a really low BSR of 47,000 thousand but they're also running ads as well.

But we can get an idea from that.

They've kind of got a lunar moth

butterfly idea. So that's something that we might want to

think about and note down.

Then if we have a look at this next book,

it hasn't made any sales yet, so we're not going to look at that, but this third

book again with a really low PSR of 37,000 thousand and it's just a vintage

botanical illustration. So it's kind of a floral design that we

can again think about.

And this third book is the same book as

the first. Then if we take a look at the fourth book

as well, still has a good BSR of roughly 250,000 thousand and it's just antique

wild plants, then the fourth book that's not a low content book, so we can skip.

Through that and then this fifth book here is has a BSR of over a million.

They've created a red poison mushroom cover which isn't getting too many sales.

Then this next book here, it's got a BSR of 450,000 thousand i've gone with a

fruit and flowers, so something we want to take a note of.

You've got another mushroom vintage botanical illustration here and that has

a BSR of 45,000 thousand.

And the book after also has a really good

BSR of 33,000 thousand based on bees.

And I'm noticing quite a few of these

books are by the same author, CC Wanderer.

And this author has created a lot of quality books in this niche and could

possibly be running maybe lottery ads in order to get more traffic to these books.

So that might be something that you want to think about when creating your

composition notebooks. And I've done a video on these very low

cost ads that are going to get a bit more traffic to your composition notebooks

because it is.

Quite a competitive niche and it can be

challenging to get into, but we found an in demand niche.

So what we need to start doing is creating the cover and the interior.

So for the second part, for the composition notebook cover creation,

we're going to be using an AI tool called Mid Journey and you can take a look at

some of the.

Vintage botanical designs that I've been

working on. You can see the just the level of detail

and high quality.

The mid journey is able to create and

just scrolling through you can see the various designs.

On the far left you've got a floral.

Next to that we've got blue butterflies,

more butterflies there and then moth to the far right hand side.

Then we've got some more floral designs and moth designs.

To the far left you've got a B design and followed by more botanical.

Designed for you to take a look at so it's just about learning the right type

of prompts to type in order to get the design that you want in this video.

I'm not going to go through all the basics of mid Journey, I've already done

that in a previous video.

But if you paid, if you got a paid

subscription then you're going to get your own bot rather than being in one of

the newbie rooms which can get a bit messy.

So you can take a look at some of the prompts that I've already done and this

will give you a good idea how to get started with your own designs so we can

see that for these four.

Images The prompt that I have put in is

vintage botanical illustrations.

I put floral, I put pattern, then I put

dash, dash, ar which is just asect ratio 2 and then three.

And this just gives us a more portrait design rather than the rectangle that it

usually provides us with, which is a lot more useful for the books that we'll be

creating. So you've got a few options below.

U123 and four is just to upscale any of the images that you do like and then V1

two three and four.

It's just to create variations of any of

those images that again you like but you just want some slight changes O we have

uscaled number three and it has come out with a nice floral design.

Now, if you want to start creating your own prompts and designs, then you're

going to need to come to the bottom and put forward slash Imagine.

Then it's going to allow us to start typing in our own prompt.

So if we're going to follow the designs that I've created, just make sure that

you put in vintage botanical illustrations.

And then let's say we wanted to do something on butterflies or pink

butterflies, then we put pattern and then we put aspect ratio two and three.

Then I've spit it up a little bit so it's already created the designs.

And if you like any in particular, let's go with We like number one.

Then all you need to do is Click to upscale number one and then it's going to

create a high resolution image in which you can choose to download it.

But in order to download it, what you're going to need to do is.

Go over to where it says web and click on that and then just make sure you click

and then it's going to take us to a page where we can save and download this

design. Now what you can do if you are struggling

for ideas or prompts is just to scroll further down the page where we're going

to see a section where it allows you to explore related designs.

Then all you can do is just hover over and take a look at the prompts that other

people have used to type in order to get the design that's being created.

Next, what we are going to need to do is improve the resolution of the design just

to be able to see the more intricate details and for this, the best website

i've found is big jpg dot com.

As this allows you to at least upload 5

PNG files during a seven day period and the quality is outstanding.

So just make sure you select your image that you want to upload and then click

start and just make sure you choose artwork.

The most you can upscale is 4 times and the noise reduction is not needed, but

upscaling it four times is more than good enough.

If you wanted to do it 8 or 16 times you have to get the paid subscription and

then once it's done we're going to take a look and compare.

Both designs, so if you just take a look at the one on the far left that's created

in mid journey then the one to the far right is the upscaled image and you can

see the closer we get on the far left it does start to get quite blurry whilst on

the far right.

The more that we zoom in on the upscaled

image, you can still really see the intricate details really clearly and

that's the importance of upscaling this design, just so that when you do enlarge

it in Canva your cover that you still are able to see the intricate designs and

details. Now if you're like me and you create a

lot of designs on Mid Journey to sell on Amazon and other marketplaces, then you

are going to need an upscaling tool and this is the cheapest I've found so far

so. Even for the 6$ you get to upload over

500 files each month, over a two-month period you've got a standard offer for

six months which is 12$ and you get to upload over a thousand files each month.

And finally the premium which is for a duration of 12 months only 22$ and each

month you get to upscale over 2000 files.

So once the files have been upscaled

we're going to need to go over to KDP cover.

Calculator and then enter all our informations in order to get the correct

dimensions for the cover.

So we know it's paperback black and white

paper left to right.

We know that the books inches and the

interior trim size is 7 5 by 9 2-5 Then finally the page count I usually go for

is 120 pages.

Then we just need to calculate the

dimensions and it's going to give us all the information in order to get our cover

size correct.

So for the full cover we know that it's

15 5. To by 9 5 and then what we can do is just

go over to Canva in order to create our cover because it's free and everyone's

able to have access to it.

So in Canva to start creating our cover

we're going to need to go to the top right hand corner and click create a

design. And then we're going to need to put in

the dimensions that we know from KDP cover calculator which is 15 5 to by 9 5

and click create a new design.

So then it's going to come up with a

blank page. I've already created some covers so all

you need to do is create the spine first of all, which is pretty easy to do and

all you need to do is go to elements and find a square and then you can stretch it

out. So that it becomes a spine and I've kind

of matched it with leaves so that it just looks really nice.

Then the next part is just you need to upload the designs and then you put it on

one side and then just flip it over onto the other side.

Then add some text and you can do that using the far left and then just put down

the word composition notebook.

Then all you need is 3 lines below that

so somebody can maybe write their name.

Class or whatever they want in that

section and then you can also see I've created another cover using the B designs

in Mid Journey which look really good as well.

And once you do have this template then the covers are interchangeable so you can

create quite a few different interesting covers.

Now to download it all we're going to need to do is go to the top right hand

corner, click share.

And then go over to download, make sure

that we put it down as a PDF, print, and then select the specific cover that we

want to download and then make sure that it's Cmyks best for printing.

You will have to have the Canva Pro subscription in order to download it in

this way, but you can try it free for 30 days and cancel at any time.

Now for the interior, we're going to be using Creative Fabrica and that's just a

digital marketplace that has interiors, fonts and so many tools which are useful

for our KDP business.

Now all you need to do is type in

composition notebook at the top and then search for the size and the amount of

page that you need, make sure commercial usage is allowed.

Then all we need to do is download it.

So this final step is just going to be

uploading your book to Amazon KDP and all you need to do is.

Go to Google and type in Amazon KDP.

Setting up your account is pretty easy.

And then once you've done all of that, you'll find this page and then you just

need to click the Create button and then create Paperback.

That's what we'll be focusing on today.

The first thing we're going to need to do

is choose a title which is just composition, notebook, then subtitle

including all the important keywords.

That's going to help our book rank and

just make sure that we're not keyword stuff in.

Then after this you just need to choose your author name choose something that's

unique. Then after that we just we're just going

to create a description or actually use chat gpt for this just to create a hook

and then a book description and then a few bullet points quite simple to do then

which need to take that we own the copyright.

Then you need to make sure that you fill in the seven back end to keywords.

Make sure you find words that are all relevant to your book to ensure that your

book does rank really well.

And after this you've got the categories

so make sure you choose two categories for your book.

There is a low content book and then tick no.

If your book does not contain bad language or inappropriate material then

we're onto the second part and you're not going to need an ISBN as it's a low

content book. Just make sure that the book is black and

white interior with white paper.

Then you need to make sure you select

your book size.

In this instance we know 7 5 by 9 2-5

That it is bleed as the lines are going to go all the way to the edge and you can

read. If you don't understand that then I

always go with Matt for my composition notebooks.

Then we just upload in the interior and the cover, which can sometimes take a

little bit of time.

And as soon as they're both uploaded, you

can click launch Previewer.

And then you're going to see your book

come up and you just make sure that there's nothing wrong with the book and

that no errors are coming up or there's nothing that needs to change.

And then just take a look through the interior and.

Through all the pages and once you're happy with everything, then all you need

to do is make sure you click approve and Scroll down to the bottom of the page and

you're going to see the printing costs.

Then click save and continue.

And here you just need to select the price of your book.

I always go with five ninety nine for my composition notebooks, I price it

competitively and then I round all the other prices to 99 as well and you can

see your royalty.

Tease how much you'll make for each

marketplace. Then you just Scroll down to the bottom

once you're happy with everything, and then publish your paperback book.
