Hey everyone,
welcome today's video where I'm gonna give you my top seven sites for
finding interiors and templates for your KDP books to publish on Amazon
and hopefully make some sales and hopefully make some money online.
Not guaranteed, but unless you give it a shot, you'll never know.
Now why am I doing this? While often I get asked,
where can I find KDP interiors?
Because when creating low content and medium content books to publish on Amazon,
it's one of the most difficult aspects of the book creation process.
And a lot of people want to know where to find interiors,
where to find free interiors and where to find good quality original
interiors that you can either edit or directly upload to the KDP platform.
And in fact,
I'm gonna show you the site where I got the interior for my bestselling
book from which to date hassold over 22,000
copies. Now if you've been here before, you know the score.
My name's Paul Marles and I do videos and hack to make keep it,
keep it and grow it, and that's your money I'm talking about.
If you do like videos like that, please do your thumbs up,
hit the subscribe button and smash that notification bar, sorry,
I don't know where that before and score came from. Anyway,
let's get straight into this and the first site is Gumroad.
And here I've done a search for KDP Interior and on this
site you'll find a whole collection of interiors that you either have to pay for
or some interiors that are free.
And there is quite a large selection here.
But one of the main reasons I wanted to show you this is that I do in fact have
my own Gumroad shop here where I do have a number of free
interiors that are either ready to upload to the KDP platform
or that you can edit. And in fact I wanted to show you this one here,
which is the lined paper interior,
which amazingly has been downloaded over 61,000 times and
has over 1000 5 star reviews.
But the reason I wanted to show this is that you can actually use this in the
free software platform,
Canva and you can edit this so you can use your creativity and
create more bespoke interiors. You can add your own graphics,
you can remove lines, adding things like prompts, adding quotes.
And so create books like prompt journals, gratitude journals,
so it really is flexible and absolutely free to download and use
however, which way, you want.
Second site is Book Bolt, where to find these interiors,
go to bookbolt.io, click on resources,
then click on Interior Wizard.
And if you scroll down you'll find that we've got a lot of different free
interiors that you can use and these are dead easy to download.
You just click whether you want a bleed or no bleed interior,
choose the size of your book, choose the page.
Count, and then just hit download.
Now you've got a PDF ready to upload to the KDP platform.
Now we do have these other options here,
which you can see are grade out and says members only. It's not free,
it's either $9.99 per month or $19.99 per month if you
join the version where you can create puzzle book interiors.
But it just gives you some extra different types of interiors that you can use.
Next for third, and this is one of my favorite sites,
particularly for free interiors and that is Canva.
Now when searching for interiors,
I wouldn't go searching for things like KDP Interiors or KDP templates.
You won't find much comes up. What you've got to do is be a bit more specific.
And here I've put in logbook just to, to give you some examples.
And a lot of these are free. You'll notice some do have this gold crown and
the words pro written next to it.
Those are for those that do have a pro version of Canva,
which is a monthly subscription version.
But a lot of these you can use in the free version.
But I'll show you an example of this in a moment. Before that,
I just wanted to show you this.
I did a search for coloring pages and actually I was surprised at the range of
offerings we've got here. We've got things like coloring pages,
but we've also got things like puzzle book pages,
color by numbers pages, word tracing pages.
So you could use these actually to build up things like activity books
as well as coloring books, but all different types of books there.
So it really is a good resource and again,
if we look at these examples at the top,
they are free to use. So let's have a look at one of these examples.
This medication log here, this opens up the template, gives you some details.
It's for an 8.5 by 11 inch book.
And all we need to do is just click on customize this template and it will open
it up in Canva.
And we can do a whole range of things with this particular template.
So we can do things like remove the background, remove that image,
we could change the font here to something else.
Let's change that to archivo black and we can change the coloring
as well.
So we could change the color of this heading and we could choose something like
pink if we so wished.
And then it's just a case of duplicating that page and building up the interior
of your book. So again, that's all free of charge. A great resource.
Next or fourth is one of my favorite sites and that is
Creative Fabrica. The reason being it's one of my favorite sites is that there
are thousands of different types of interiors and templates on this site,
but it's also my go to site for images and fonts.
And one of the most important things is that you get the commercial license
to use a lot of these resources in your books and so saves that
headache of worrying about whether you're gonna get your account shut down
because you've used something that you shouldn't have used on your books.
So we'll just do a search for KDP interior and you can
see we've got wow,
over 147,000 results.
And here you can find interiors for almost any type of low
content and medium content book. So instead of doing a search for KDP interior,
you might want to be a bit more specific. Now it's not free,
I will leave a link down below in the description as with all the other sites I
mentioned. in this video I'll leave a link in the description with that link.
You do get special offer which is available to viewers of this channel.
And in fact you can get the first month for free and download
up to 10 items.
So you could in theory download 10 different interiors and as I
said, they've got the commercial rights.
So really is a good resource and thoroughly recommended. But number five,
I hope that's number five,
we've got Etsy and here I've done a search for KDP template.
Now you find the templates on Etsy are a little bit more expensive
than the many other sites,
but you do get what you pay for and what you'll often find is a lot of these
interiors are of better quality,
easier to edit and a lot of these are original
interiors as well that you may not find on some of the other sites. So that's a
good resource. Next we've got Tangent Templates. Again,
another of my favorites. The reason being,
this is where I got the interior for my best selling book and
it's a really useful and easy platform to use. It's not free,
however, it does cost $59.
When I took out membership here, I think it was $49, that was back in 2018.
But considering from that $49 investment,
that one book has made over $42,000,
I think that's a pretty good return. So I'll show you how easy it is to use.
You've got all these different interiors here and it's just a case of clicking
on one, putting in your trim size or choose 8.5 by 11,
putting in your page count, choose bleed or no bleed,
this particular page is only available in bleed.
Then clicking on Download Interior and that will give you the PDF interior
that's ready to upload to the KDP platform. And the beauty of these is that they
are very good quality so you have no worries when you do upload them with
things like formatting issues, again,
you've got the commercial rights to use these particular types of interiors and
this site does offer other features as well.
We've got the interior designer here,
so you can create your own interiors with a mixture of images,
shapes that are available on the platform.
But what I particularly like about this is it does have a handwriting font,
both a normal handwriting font and a lined handwriting font.
So if you're into creating handwriting interiors,
this is a really good resource. And it's got lots of other functions here.
It's got a pricing calculator category explorer.
So if you are having difficulty coming up with categories for your books,
you can search under particular keywords and it'll give you suggestions for
categories. And there's other features as well. This one here, tangent builder.
Again,
you can build up an interior with different types of pages from those pages that
they do have on offer. Now lastly at number seven,
we've got Fiverr here. I've done a search for KDP Interior.
Here is good because you can get more bespoke interiors.
You can actually have a discussion with a creator and create something that you
may not be able to find on some of the other sites.
And you can create something that may be a bit more original.
So you know you haven't got issues with things like duplicate content or
interiors that other people may have used.
And here you'll find a lot of different creators offering services not just for
interiors but also covers as well.
It's one of my favorite sites for actually getting a creator to create
a personal bespoke cover to use on your book. And you can get edits as
well. So if you don't like a particular design,
you can get them to change it a little bit.
And you can also get creators to create the whole book. So you can,
they'll create the cover and the interior and in fact,
here's an example of a l my first learn to write workbook.
Now one thing I would say if you are using fFiverr is that you do have a
discussion with the creator to make sure that they do have the commercial
rights to use the images that they use to create the interiors or book
covers cbecause you don't.
What you don't want to do is find yourself in that situation where you publish
your book and then Amazon comes at you, or worse,
cancels your account because you've used images for which you don't have
the commercial rights to use. So you just have to do your own due diligence,
have that discourse with the creator and make sure that the images
used do have the commercial rights.
Now if you are interested, maybe you are new to this,
and you're interested in creating a book,
then what I suggest doing is watching my latest video where I show you how to
use a free planner interior to create a KDP planner and
to upload to the Amazon platform. I hope you found that useful.
Thank you very much for your time. It is very much appreciated.
