KDP Low Content Books: How To Make Journal Interiors

About this video

Roberts presents four preferred ways to make journal and notebook interiors for low-content and no-content KDP publishing, plus a bonus option. First is Microsoft Word, where he got his start; he calls it a little wonky at first but workable once you learn its formatting. Second is Keynote for Mac users, which he describes as his most preferred method because its slideshow-style format is super simple and helps him get everything dialed in as he wants it to look. Third is PowerPoint, which he says is largely interchangeable with Keynote and simple enough for anyone to plug and play with. Fourth is Google Slides, which he calls the best-kept secret for journal interior creation and probably the easiest option, noting it auto-saves to Google Drive if you have a Gmail account. As a bonus fifth tip he mentions Microsoft Publisher, which he had only recently discovered and had not used much, noting it already has templates in place. He cautions that if you use templates from Publisher or bought from someone else, you should tweak them and make them your own so your journals can be differentiated from others on the market.
