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.

KDP doesn't allow the creation of magazines, periodicals or spiral-bound books.

@Jungle Scout, I am extremely a newbie wanting to start , I can’t check the sales rank or the no of sales to know if the product is profitable.. unless I buy plans from jungle scout ? Is there a way a beginner can check ?

[@junglescout]

If you will just check the sales estimate, you can use the JS sales estimator. You can use it for free but for a limited number of times only: www.junglescout.com/t/sales-estimator-v2/

Struggling to create a book that isn’t rejected due to something called bleed. I tried 3 times. How wide do you have to make the design so it’s not rejected. I’m tired of starting over and getting told to stretch the cover for bleed and I stayed inside the red and then outside the red border……HELP

Have you considered getting the services of a professional? When I was a beginner that was all I did and my finance went from bad to excellent. Now I can do some investing and trading by myself because I learnt also. You too can do same.

[@skylarpeterson5814]

I know I can't do any investment by myself, because last time I tried, I lost all my money. I am serious and interested but also scared of losing money now. What can I do not to end up with same result as last time.

[@skylarpeterson5814]

I have done some research, and what I need is an excellent financial advisor to assist me with what I want to do. A good recommendation will do. Thanks.

[@davisj.miller1541]

I know of a professional dedicated to a mission: make investing and trading available to everyone! Her name is *Robin Brezik* , she is a financial advisor and a licensed portfolio manager. If you feel like you want to invest and stop living from paycheck to paycheck, The process is very straightforward, contact her and learn more about investing and trading, while making money with her assistance.

[@SalleyneDesign]

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.

[@shawnorrific]

Came here to say this! You have to create your own composition with custom art or multiple element pieces from their library.

[@MinReiSakato]

@@shawnorrific so if you choose more than 1 of their elements and arrange them and change the colors, is that considered your own unique design?

[@motherofnerdlings]

You can't take ONE image and sell it as is. Making a composition is different

[@SalleyneDesign]

@@motherofnerdlings Correct. But in this video compositions weren’t created lol. A composition would have been multiple images and/or elements PER page of the book. U can’t put 1 unaltered image per page like that. Canva is pretty picky with their rules believe it or not. I went back and forth with them for specific answers, and trust me, even when you use the images/elements, they have to be combined into a new design.

[@SalleyneDesign]

@@MinReiSakato as long as it’s more than 1 element. Even taking 1 element and just changing the colors is not considered a new design to Canva support. So if u take multiple elements and/or images and combine them into a new design, then you’re good.

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.

[@junglescout]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@pat4005]

You simply needed to delete the pink frame after you were done using it as a guide. Anything you left visible will print. I don't understand why you think his example in the video of using the pink guide was wrong, because you did not delete it when you were done with it, and you uploaded it to Amazon KDP along with your book file. That is obviously why the book printed with the pink guides.

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.

As for Canva's free content, I recommend reviewing their terms here: www.canva.com/policies/content-license-agreement/ You can either print a large print version or the regular one separately. However, please do note that it may affect the number of pages due to font size, so this is something that needs to be considered.

[@alexcrossley7999]

I have a question about royalties and profit margins. If you price a book between $2.99 - $9.99, do you get 70% royalties regardless of how much it costs to print the book? Because you are not printing the book yourself, you don't need to think about production costs. How can you estimate what Amazon would need to spend to produce it to achieve the desired quality of finished product?

[@junglescout]

This article may help: kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G8BKPU9AGVZSF9QF

[@TheKatyMadison]

The 70% and 35% royalties are for ebooks. You have to look at what the cost of printing is to see what a print book makes, typically a lot less. Amazon will give you this info when you create your book.

[@theverseshed]

The majority of KDP upload tutorials feature just two main themes . . . "Make money/live the life you want" - and/or - "Low/medium content books." Try searching for KDP toturials/demos etc. featuring HIGH content books (novels, poetry, scripts, non-fiction, DIY, Hobbycrafts etc. etc.) and you'll find yourself in a desert of almost nothing. There ARE a few, but the ones I've found either have unintelligible narration or muddled presentation. Even those who upload really excellent walk-throughs of KDP protocols and procedures virtually never feature high content books. It's always those same two themes I listed at the start. I'm currently working towards uploading and self-publishing a high content book so, once that's done, I'll make a note of what I've discovered (as a newbie to KDP) and then make a quick upload for my channel.

[@carriebartkowiak]

That's because those aren't called "high-content books". They're novels, poetry books, non-fiction books. There's an ocean of tutorials out there, just use the right terms. "How to publish my novel on kdp," "publish a poetry book on kdp," "how to write non-fiction," etc etc etc.

[@junglescout]

Thanks for jumping in for us! 🧡

[@theverseshed]

@@carriebartkowiak That's pretty well the point I was making. However, I wanted to be fair, so I gave your suggestion a try, and almost without exception, the results narrowed down to picture books. Obviously, a story book for children can easily be a picture book (I follow Jules Marriner who has a brilliant channel for that genre and just look at the books by Oliver Jeffers). I tried 'how to publish a novella for children on KDP. That had almost the same result. Indeed, quite a few videos for any genre of children's book actually proved to be just walk-throughs of 'how to upload.' One good point would be that in terms of publication procedures, there seems to be no real difference because everything boils down to a PDF of the text and a flattened PDF of the cover. However, for genres such as, say, scripts, comic-style storyboards, poetry, interactive books etc. the importance of font choices, setting up your word processor page settings to match book sizes and formats etc. all come into play. Those are the areas I've been thinking about for my own project. As for the best walk-through's of uploading that I've settled on as being really helpful (for me) Bethany Atazadeh's was densely informative (I took 2 pages of notes): kzbin.info/www/bejne/nprIea2trb-Lack and Craig of SPE covered most of the same information but with a couple of additional tweaks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fovXl4Opn92HbZY As I said, I'm keeping notes of my own experiences with a high content book for children. I'll filter out all those that are common across all genres, and will then make my own brief video in which I'll try to at least fill in a few of the blanks for those who are interested in publishing for that genre.

So many of the KDP tutorial videos I've seen are like 10 minutes of hard-to-understand tutorials for how to generate a word puzzle on a separate website but then zero info about how to even construct the book, royalty info, how to make the cover, how to decide how much to charge, advertising, etc. I think the REAL money is actually in making tutorial videos.

[@theverseshed]

@@FrenkTheJoy That last point is a very good one. I focused on (at the most) 3 tutorial videos that helped me complete my first KDP project. I soon realised that almost all others covered exactly the same content and it was just a matter of finding those who had structured their tutorials so that everything was sequenced and clearly explained.

[@ThrillsofAwe]

your video is simply amazing! you said every single thing to do man !! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@junglescout]

We're so pleased you enjoyed it!

[@andynoor1388]

Very nicely presented clear concise with great content. Great upload . Thanks

[@junglescout]

So glad you enjoyed it! 🧡

[@marijamilovanovic6874]

I was thinking about getting into KDP and discovered your channel. I have a question about the Amazon account that I will be selling from - can I enter my personal bank account information now, when I am just starting and don't know if I am going to earn any money, let alone how much per month, and then change my personal to a business bank account if I get a steady monthly income flow? I do have a purchasing account. Thanks.

[@junglescout]

Yes, you can.

[@LordValkyre]

I'm an artist & want to start making these types of books to sell on Amazon. But my question is, if I upload my own original art how easy will it be for others to steal my artwork? Or would I have to fight something like that if it does happen?

isn't the coloring books fad already dead ?

[@prateekagraw]

Royalty is 60%...not 70....just shows how much real-life experience you actually have doing this.

[@junglescout]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We'll definitely check it out!

[@concordep2504]

You don’t really get 60% royalties you get that minus the printing costs which you pay out of your share of the money received so depending upon the actual printing cost you can end up with net royalties of 25-30,

[@prateekagraw]

@@concordep2504 Yes I meant 60% of "remaining" amount. Of course you bear the printing cost 100%. This guy is advertising 70% which is completely false and they are more interested in making YT videos and get clicks than give any real-world experience.

[@moneygrowz]

@@prateekagraw dude. Did you make the video. Appreciation goes along way. Hes not GOD. SMH 🤦‍♂️

[@junglescout]

@@prateekagraw You're absolutely right, Desi, I accidentally used the eBook royalty rate (70%) rather than the paperback royalty rate (60%) in this example. However, the same logic applies, and when scouting low/medium content paperback niches, you'd of course want to use the accurate rate per book type. Thank you for bringing that our attention 😀I hope you still found the video useful and can use it help identify potential opportunities! - Jake

[@SeanReynolds1962]
