    Question / Discussion KDP Formatting - Can Anyone Help Please?

    Didn't want to read and run - as I got here after you'd found your answer - but bloomin well done. I did a wordsearch book after having good success with log books and undated journals. The creation of the wordsearch book nearly broke me! Never ever again. Thankfully I have sold a few but no...

    I had a load of orders initially which was fab, then got busy with my full time job and neglected my marketing. I have a few orders a month at the moment which made the effort worth it and I know that if I do some more promotion that it will sell more.

    What are your thoughts about the cost of living crisis?

    It's all getting a bit serious. I have buddied up with a friend at the livery yard so we share horse care and that means I save diesel. Horse feed has gone through the roof. All the equestrian sports bodies are having to make changes to help the how centre keep going. It's a really big problem...

    I really like it - am so glad I went for that option. I am still tinkering around with it but get a steady drip of sales. I have an active page on Facebook - the irony as that is the source of most of my sales lol. I am in two minds as to whether I just had the sales page as a whole different...

    I had my first payment from them the other week, I was not so fussed on the wait. I haven't actually checked yet to see if its in :sleep: I got more then I do for a PayPal transaction so I am happy with that and far more than if I'd sold via Amazon KDP which is 90 days if I remember rightly...

    Nice end to week one - I had a little chat with the racehorse trainer that I freelance for on the yard and he had noticed my website and now wants me to update his website and post updates on his runners each week all for a decent flat fee each month. I am over the moon with this! Back to the...

    And just like that - I have done it. I need to add products and do some editing but I never would have imagined that I would have a full website with a shop 2 years ago! Will finish it off over the weekend and do a launch ;)

    I had seen that about Woocommerce with the add on costs. I looked at Shopify and swiftly moved on as it's bit like Etsy with the fees, which I wanted to move away from.

    Brilliant thank you @Jon and @neesharees, I have been looking at WooCommerce on Youtube - they also mentioned Ecquid. Will look further into that and Thrivecart. It's looking a bit more simple than I thought.
