Do THIS Instead of KDP Low Content Books!

There is WAY too much competition for anyone just starting out with Amazon KDP, and Amazon is actually discouraging new sellers from making low content books. So what should you do instead?

We'll show you how to make passive income by launching your first MEDIUM CONTENT KDP coloring book. But not only that, we'll show you how to do it the SMART way. And by "the smart way," we mean launching a medium content book in a niche with high demand, low competition, & high royalties. Does that sound like something you're interested in? Then keep watching! We'll show you what sets medium content books apart, how to identify a niche to launch your book in, create your book, & how to publish it on Amazon KDP.

But not only that, we'll show you how to do this entirely for FREE.

Launching a medium content book on Amazon's print on demand service (KDP) means you don't need to be an author or a designer to get started, and you don't need to own any of your own inventory. You just need to know how to do product research, and how to create the interior and cover using free templates and tools. In this video, we're walking you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to use Canva to design your book's cover & interior pages. We'll also show you how to create your first KDP listing so you can start making sales!

Amazon KDP is one of our favorite ways of making money on Amazon, as this side hustle business can be started for free, by anyone! Watch how we make a low content KDP coloring book for FREE with Canva and other free tools.

From what I know about Canva and speaking to their customer support, you actually cannot use their images and sell them as-is. You have to change it into your own design in some way by merging elements etc in order to resell.

This is a great idea for me as an artist who can draw lineart for people and make coloring books for them. That'd be really fun!

[alistairnorburn]

A very valuable insight into medium content book designs for KDP. One tip from me is to open an incognito window before searching as Amazon will track your searches and screws the results the next time you search.

Aim high: Don't be afraid to set ambitious goals for yourself. Dream big and work hard to make your aspirations a reality.

[theafroveggie]

I am so glad I found this video. I was unaware that Amazon was no longer giving free ISBN numbers for low-content books. Thank you for this information!

[shawziairum]

Wow wow wow, this is one of those moments when u find something on YouTube by fluke chance and you feel found treasure! What information. Resources, from marketing’s tactics to actually making things reality. This is king of channel deserves awards. So much education and information without wasting any time….Gratitude! Wish you grow exponentially.

As an artist and a book creator all my own created images are owned solely by me and thats copyright ownership. If somebody on kdp rips off my images for their 7 minute book creations I would raise hell with Amazon & KDP and they would probably lose their account. I had an image I created digitally on another online selling site and it was pulled off because of the title and the image I created related to a company's product. I also got a cease and desist email from the company itself. So copyrights carry weight. You shouldn't encourage people to ripoff others artwork. Even if somebody downloads and tries to use as their's a piece of line art they need to alter it significantly to defend it as their own creation in order to resell it. Plagarism is also a copyright infringement.

I did my first couple of low and medium content books and I have to point out, the thing with the pink frame (not allowed to get there) is wrong. I thought that first, too, stayed within the pink frame and ended up having my first sample print of a notebook with a pink frame around! So, yes, get to the OUTSIDE lines of the pink frame on the template. If I could post a photo I could prove it to you. Talking about the cover here.

I've seen a number of low/medium-content book design videos. This one is the most comprehensive step-by-step book design video available! Thanks, guys! Very helpful.

At the moment, I'm trying to gather as much information on how to make money online as possible & I feel like, often creators "rush" through a video and really don't go into detail with it, what makes it rather hard to get started as a beginner - but you just provided such value and insight!!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :D

I started publishing low content journals on KDP and was actually selling, when suddenly they terminated my account, kept all of my royalties, and claimed I had violated ToS, but literally refused to tell me what I did. So everyone beware of KDP, they will, and do, cancel your account and will steal your royalties.

[buildingmentalmuscle]

Great video, lots of good valuable actionable content, thanks! 😀 However, there is one thing I need to At the 9.55 minute mark in the video you speak of royalty rates. 70% and 35%, based on the selling price. This is correct BUT only applies to ebooks, not print books. Print books pay 60%, no matter what the retail price. And since the example you are showing is a coloring book (which cannot be published as an ebook), I think it's important new publishers know this, otherwise, they may be unnecessarily pricing their book at $9.99 or under in the false premise they are getting a higher royalty.

[stargazeronesixseven]

This is really refreshing to know what to avoid & what to do so we are not wasting our little resources to make a few dollars here & there to pay our bills! 🙏 Thank You So Much for the valuable guidances! You're a Good Mentor & a Good Man Jungle Scout! 🌷🌿🌎💖🕊

[vickisweeten]

Loved this, I just helped my Daughter put images she created into a coloring book and we went live today with KDP publishing. Thank you for your videos, so helpful

[TheRealBronweN]

I really like how you present all of the needed info, and you show the benefits of Jungle Scout without being pushy. Looks like a great program. I'm going to try making a few books in a niche that interests me, in order to learn, but I will likely come back later and subscribe to JS because the info on competition and finding a niche looks mint!

[brittnigilliam]

I just published a low content book and they definitely gave me a free barcode for ALL three of my low content books.

[gwenschulte]

What a great option for curriculum in so many subject areas and grade levels!

[karenjudge]

The 70% royalty rate payout is for ebooks/digital products only. You can charge what you want for paper/hard backs.

[Space_Writer]

this is the first video on creating the cover that included all of the information I was looking for. thanks for explaining things thoroughly. my graphics editor of choice is adobe express, but I was still able to follow along and understand how the functions work(i.e. transparency tweaking).
