0:09
My name is Steven So what I wanted to do in order to get started is to go into the KTP Amazon.com
0:15
So whether you have an Amazon account or you're not this is gonna be essential to create an account as a Kendall
0:22
Direct publishing so this is how we're gonna be starting to sell our stuff

0:41
How's gonna be looking your actual stuffed and then later on you can start to sell your actual ebook
0:48
So, how do we get started by managing the the actual place to create a Kendall ebook
0:54
What I did is to went to Canberra so here to Canberra calm we can choose any kind of templates
0:59
And we can choose the template to I mean not to copy but to take the inspiration of how we can start to create some
1:07
Ebook. So for example, we have something about clouds. We have something about a fantasy ebook cover
1:12
There's a lot of covers that you can choose here So based on what you like the most you can choose the option and then later on you can just use that
1:21
As a template so you can I'm gonna get into Personalize this actual template. So then later on as you can see
1:29
I'm now inside the section of the editor of the actual Canberra
1:33
So now what I wanted to do now that I'm here we have the ebook
1:38
So automatically the element the size is gonna be already been uploaded
1:43
I don't have to worry about the dimensions But just in case you have any question about the dimensions you can go into your Kendall direct publishing
1:49
I want to go into the create and here into this create part You can see they have a creative book the book timelines the tools and resources
1:57
So if you guys if I go into create a book We have the enter the book details upload in preview ebooks. I want to focus into the enter book details
2:08
so as you can see how they update your book detail page and
2:12
As you can see what I just needed to do is to figure out what are the actual
2:17
Ebook dimensions to actually look great in my Kendall So if I go into focus into my toes and resources, I'm gonna close this option
2:26
I have the manual for marrying resources This is how it's going to be looking my Kendall paperback and hardcover. So step-by-step got pages
2:36
What do you want to do the format written in word? The calculate as ebook dimensions
2:42
the calculator is in priority costing the template the guide the tool the PC or a Mac
2:49
What is the actual dimension that I need to do the image radio the size the color profile the borders and all that
2:54
So I want to focus into this option. This is 2560 by 16
3:01
So if I focused here into my template here the actual size is
3:08
5 1 2 8 0 0 so what I want to do is to hit into resize and
3:13
Here to resize I wanted to go here and let's go and type these actual elements. That was
3:20
2560 and then later on I wanted to go with 16-0-0 You can hit now into resize. This is how it's gonna be looking my actual evic
3:32
So this is like two pages, right? So now I'm gonna get down here
3:36
I have the image radio. I have the size the color profile and the borders
3:42
so if you have any question, what you can do is to download the
3:47
Content guidelines that we need to create our cover Meanwhile, we are doing this
3:53
What I wanted to do is to get start with my Kindle ebook as you can see I use a Kindle
3:59
Template so I don't have to mess around with all the actual Information about the timelines the book tools the resources just focus into the very
4:07
Important part of the video which is the actual creation. So as you can see here is page number one
4:12
I have the alternative time and management and work planning strategy and staying sane for your startup business
4:17
So I do this totally for free using Canva using some templates and instead of choosing Tasha Walker. Let's go and type our
4:25
Of course our company name in here, let's go and instead of basic outlet, so let's go with chapter one
4:33
Let's go and delete this. Let's go with your D What I want to do is to hit into this actual grid view
4:41
So what I can do is to duplicate this page or I can use a type ctrl D
4:48
Let's say four times why four times because I want to use this element or let's go chapter two
4:55
and the next page should be chapter number three and so on so in my case, I'm just gonna focus into four chapters and
5:04
Inside those chapters. I'm gonna get started with a script here So I'm gonna use this template for the content of each chapter or I can use this one
5:13
So I can select this option and I'm gonna move this inside my chapter
5:17
So inside this chapter inside this after what I wanted to do is to let's say add more elements
5:23
Duplicate this page once again, and then I'm gonna exactly I'm gonna use exactly the same element so I can put those
5:30
Inside each chapter because this is what I'm gonna do into my actual book. I'll a chapter two
5:37
Pages like this and there we go. So Ladies, so now as you can see, this is something like really really easy that I have done so far
5:48
The last part which is is like the end of the video the end of my book here, let's go with last
5:55
thoughts Delete this part, of course, and there we go. So this is only a template example
6:02

6:10
Just getting started with creating an e-book You can always consult your Microsoft Edge just in case that you have a Windows and you are able to
6:20
consult Microsoft Edge here into Microsoft Edge What I can totally suggest to you is to go I'm gonna hit now into next I'm going to leave this
6:29

6:43
