​A+ Content Registration Process (KDP Standard)
​
1️⃣ After logging in to KDP, click the "Marketing" tab → A+ Content Manager
You can go to the A+ Content Manager menu by clicking Marketing in the menu at the top of the screen.

2️⃣ Click the 'Start Creating A+ content' button on the top right
The process for creating a new A+ content begins.

3️⃣ Select the content name and language
For example, I entered Strawberry Contest to match the book title.

Select the Language as US English.

This step is for internal use to identify the content, so it is not displayed externally.

📍 At this time, there are 5 steps in the registration process that are visible at the top of the screen:
Create Content → Apply ASINs → Submit → Approval → Published

Design content in the Editor
​
This is the core space where you combine images and text to compose content.

You can choose basic templates (image + text, 3-column image, comparison table, etc.).

It is good to add illustrations inside the book, concept descriptions, series information, etc.

🖼 Tip:

Image sizes should be uploaded according to the pixels required by KDP.

Be more visual and concise rather than too text-centric!

5️⃣ Register ASIN (Click Next: Apply ASINs)

This is the step where you specify which book (ASIN) the content will be applied to.

Click Next: Apply ASINs and enter the ASIN code of the book.

6️⃣ Submit and wait for review

Once you have completed the content, you must submit it and wait for Amazon's review.

It is usually approved within 24 to 72 hours.

Once approved, the content will be displayed at the bottom of the book details page.

​A+ Things to keep in mind when registering content

(Square recommended / errors may occur if the pixels are too small)

2. Write image keywords

This does not affect search, but it positively affects accessibility and content quality ratings.

 3. Description of text input fields

Below are fields for entering text corresponding to each image:

Item description

Headline Title for the image (e.g. "Meet the Berry Queen!")
Body Text Detailed description, introduction. Keep it short and concise (e.g. "This sweet strawberry was chosen by the woodland animals...")

​Tip:

Body text is limited to 500 characters

HTML tags cannot be used (use the editor tool for bold, italics, etc.)
