First, I publish LC books on Amazon and it's not as easy as you're making it sound. It takes a lot of hard work and long hours if you want to bring something of quality to the KDP LC book marketplace instead of the generic garbage that people pump out with Book Bolt. This work includes learning about basic elements of graphic design, so you can create book covers that stand out in the marketplace. Second, the first task in deciding what kind of book you want to publish is to do research to find out if your idea is viable. This includes doing a lot of keyword research. I believe this is the kind of thing you refer to as validating an idea before going ahead with creating a product. You even have a course on how to do this, but you don't appear to think it's really that important to do. Third, the royalty Amazon pays is not 60% of the difference between your list price and the printing cost. It's 60% of the list price minus the printing cost. 60% of the $7.85 remainder in your example is $4.71, not $3.85. You obviously didn't do the math before you made this video. Fourth, the money does not start instantly rolling in to the tune of thousands of dollars a month as soon as you start publishing books. I had a lot of respect for you until now, because I always thought you were the real deal. No more. You're just another KZbin charlatan leading people down the garden path with promises of making easy money for doing little work, so you can make commission as an affiliate for a lousy product. Unsubbing from your channel and your mailing list. Maureen

[@kayakbassfishing473]

I agree to with everything you said especially what and how she is representing everything. She is distorting everything to just get people to follow her strategy and she makes out every single time they do. She suffers nothing at all. And has no obligation to anyone what so ever and not held accountable either. This reminds me so much of multi level marketing scheme AMWAY. I know everybody has heard of them. I have followed her a long time too like years. I did feel at some points she was full of shit but other times I was intrigued because of her income she makes. But now I even question that! I am done with you Gillian if that is your name! I am unsubscribing and jettisoning all I ever bought from you and ready about you!!! You can't do this to people it will not bode well for you. Catch on people ok. Thanks montagnu for putting your opinion on here I really appreciate it.

[@peach_cobbler]

I completely agree. I publish LC and focus on mainly medium content books with lots of research before I even start writing. BookBolt is helpful in my opinion for making covers, research, and making puzzles. Helium 10 is too expensive for me and BookBolt’s research tools are much more affordable. I’m surprised that Gillian sounds so ignorant about using KDP since isn’t that how she published her organization book?

[@ruthnelson4513]

I feel like these comments are much closer to the truth. So are there resources that you ladies DO recommend, to learn the truth about what it takes to publish low/medium content books? I am still interested, but know that it takes more work than this presented. Where is a good place to start?

[@peach_cobbler]

@@ruthnelson4513 Check our Paul Marles on KZbin. He walks through the entire process from research to book creation, covers, listing descriptions, and even advertising on Amazon. He sells on KDP full time and has a wealth of free information.

[@wingingitwithangelica801]

I started already 10 months ago and uploaded about 50 notebooks. I use Bookbolt which is great. But Amazon Kdp low content market has been saturated already for many years. I don't have any sales. Maybe ads can help. I still make them because I enjoy doing it and I use them myself. Maybe 10 years ago this video could have been relevant but now you need to really focus on very particular niches or on medium content books like puzzle books. I love your channel but I don't get you only recently came up with this video. It's totally outdated. Sorry

[@peach_cobbler]

Medium content is the way to go. I switched to medium content from notebooks and I’m seeing profits now.

[@helloworld441]

@@peach_cobbler whats medium content?

[@peach_cobbler]

@@helloworld441 Medium content are books that are more than plain lined, dot grid, graphing paper, sketch paper or otherwise blank notebooks and journals. It includes guided journals, log books, planners, workbooks, and pretty much any book with minimal text where the user fills out the bulk of the content themselves. It’s a term used by KDP authors, but not officially by Amazon. Think of it as authors say low content to refer to books where the customer is buying it mainly because of the cover image and medium content to refer to books where the customer might click because of the cover and title but buys mainly for the content. Like if you had a meeting notes journal with the same repeating template on each page, then a customer might click on your book because of the cover image and title keywords but they won’t buy if they don’t like what you describe about the book. For example, I have seen reviews saying that the book was supposed to have a template but was just plain lined paper with no template. Low content is very competitive and it can be hard to stand out in search results. Amazon defines low content as any book that has repetitive pages like notebooks and guided journals or where the user fills out the bulk of content. Puzzle books, coloring books, and activity books are not considered low content. For example a number tracing book is not considered low content because it’s more activity book. Low content books are not eligible for a free ISBN through Amazon or expanded distribution (ordering in bulk by bookstores, libraries, etc.). Low content also doesn’t include the look inside feature because there is no ISBN. You can use A Plus content to add images to your listing though.

it's a great idea which I started doing myself a year and a half ago. You have to enjoy creating books as I do. There is so much competition for these now though, I only manage to sell a few books per month with just over 100 books listed and running Amazon ads to them so I'm not making profit yet. It's certainly not easy money. Higher content books can make more money.

[@minervaaurora7378]

I started doing this at the beginning of the pandemic because of these types of videos and i did it for almost a year before i realized the real money is in the video views.

This vid was added 2 h ago but I think that content of it is already outdated and inaccurate for last weeks. Amazon makes a lot of cleaning on the platformand they try to discourage people to create more and more trashy low content. They are now into medium and high content. They block also a lot of accounts where they suppose customers can be perplexed or unhappy with the products.

[@tobiasparent4806]

Absolutely love this! I'd been trying to find very niche notebooks for a long time, but until I watched this I hadn't considered simply making and selling them. There wasn't a template for them, so setting up the first one took some time and design. But then I could use that as my own template and make variations quickly and easily. Three sheet-and-TAB music journals added in a few hours! Thank you thank you for this. I feel more empowered than I have in years.

[@Hoodat_Whatzit]

Aside from the side-hustle aspect, this would be a great way to create unique gifts for family. Years ago I created a "book" of my mom's cookie recipes and just did it on card stock with a spiral comb binding. She loved it and she still uses it but it's getting rather worn now. But this would be even better. You could also do photo books yourself from trips or for birthdays/anniverseries. I'm a teacher (but now working in a position outside the classroom) but I would have loved to create class books or memory albums using this.

I did however discover that once you create an account to sell on amazon you must give them something called a "tax id" number they also wanted my business license and business name which I currently don't have set up yet, so while I did learn more from your video then the others I still need a little more info before I take on trying to publish a book.

[@rogerrabbit80]

There's a reason advertising agencies exist, and you just ran into it. Creating a product can be very easy, as you've already found. Selling that product can be very, very hard. Think about how much Ford or Starbucks or any other large company spends on advertising each year. It's in the billions! They spend that money because nobody will buy a product if they don't even know it exists. I suspect what you need to do is find a very specific niche. Something narrow enough to not have a ton of competition. Instead of doing a "Recipe Journal", to use her example, do a "Vegan Recipe Journal." Or a "Diabetic Recipe Journal." Or, maybe, a "Diabetic Vegan Recipe Journal." You cut the number of people who might buy it, but you also cut down on the competition. Standing out is a lot easier in a small group. The idea is, instead of swimming in an ocean of low content books, try to become a big fish in a much smaller pond.

Same for me. The Market saturated. It is true.

Y'all this is an affiliate marketing video for GP's profit. Something to keep in mind.

I have a couple of questions about BookBolt. First, are section dividers available? Like if I want the first 50 pages to be a calorie tracker and the next 50 an exercise tracker. Are there tabs or bookmarks or anything to keep the sections apart, for convenience? Second, is bound softcover the only option? Can you have hardcover? Can you have pages you can insert or remove? For instance, if you run out of pages in the exercise section but still have plenty of room in the calorie tracker. If that happens, you're either wasting paper or carrying two journals.

[@magicmarlymarl]

No, there aren't any from what I was seeing when I was using it.

[@alissanemmers3878]

Amazing!!! Definitely going to try! Thank you so much for the wonderful explanations.

[@shannonhenning1177]

I’m soooo excited!!!! I literally created a low content book as your video was playing. Now I can say I actually did it!!! Thank you sooooo much.

[@DGC2001]

After seeing your video on creating passive income on Amazon it seems straight forward, and worth giving it a try. I am a disabled individual with limited mobility, and this seems like a perfect opportunity for me. I am also very interested in increasing the ranking of a low content book as well. Thank you for sharing this with us.

How is it going with the shop ? Making a little bit of passive Income ? Considering it myself

[@tomdaly5256]

You are inspiring! I used to work in advertising many years ago, so this is right up my alley. Thank you so much for being so generous with your information. This will be a perfect side hustle for me as a stay-at-home mom who wants to contribute to our household income. I'll watch more of your videos and make this work! Thank you : ) ~ Lisa

[@user-wo8hp3ft7h]

Hi Lisa, How is it going for you? Have your tried it? :) Is it worth it? I guess you need to be a self-employed or have a business ITR number or something?! Thanks Vivi

[@mandosilverleaf4839]

Thank You Gillian, am going to publish my first journal tonight.

[@caroljones3253]

I would like to publish a book. I really appreciate you being candid and breaking it all down for people like me who are not very savvy technically. Also giving the real amount to be made and profit instead of using people and their checks of how much money they make. I'm a DIY person trying and failing then again and succeeding, so I'm interested.Thank you for your helpful, honest information!!

[@maryezell3888]

This approach could also apply to holiday ideas (gift information for family and friends for instance). Journals for the holiday for the recipient - the birthday record, thoughts on Mother's Day, observations on the Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. The objective being to see how the events produce new insights. The possibilities are endless.

[@catherinecole6980]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@jcamposcjjc2552]

Sounds like a great way to start a passive income journey. This is excellent content and I'd welcome your instruction about ranking.

[@gillianzperkins]

Noted!

[@leasamurphy6559]

I designed my first book last night and just published it. Thank you!

[@tamaraclarke7993]

Thank you! That was an excellent thorough walk through! No tricks or funnels etc

[@pinky833noone6]

Hi Gillian. Stumbled across your site today, and as writer myself, I found this fascinating! I am currently unemployed, and am definitely interested in trying this. So cost effective and simple to follow. Thank you so much for the content. Would love to hear about how to improve the ranking. Thanks again.

[@michelerodocker-cummings7317]

I just discovered your channel and videos today, and have now spent the past two hours watching and absorbing all the information. Thank you for the detailed explanations in each of your videos. As a SAHM I have been searching for an online opportunity that was not a scam, held my interest, is scalable, and did not require a specific time or financial commitment. Your channel has me excited to get back to work! Creating low-content books is right up my alley and I am jazzed to get started!

[@erikpelton5453]

hello michele, how would you like to joining my free amazon kdp classes?

[@leiannalogan4197]

This video is so informative. Keeping it real and not "far fetched" like some others. Straight forward and so easy to follow. Thank you!

[@sulanachunilal6962]

Hi Gillian, excellent video - one question though, are there any legal implications of using the stock photos for sale? I know they are free but do you know of any restrictions to using them?

[@TheDoglover1970]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@anthonybelton90]

Hey Gillian, I've started selling journals through Amazon KDP last year. I appreciate the video and believe the videos on ranking and marketing would also be of value.

[@thattannerguy856]

How is it going? How much have you been making a month if you don't mind sharing?

[@RhinestoneLover]

I’m curious to know too! Do tell :)

[@robyndurant7800]

Going to give this a try! Love your channel!

[@HealthTipsWithRose]

This was so great! I needed a detailed tutorial on book bolt and how to do all of this. Thank you so much!!! I just subscribed to this awesome channel!

[@maryezell3888]

There is a 5-Year Journal format with a page for each day of the year, including Leap Year February 29th. Each year is listed on it's day's page. Entries are limited to one sentence for each year. The pages are two-sided so there would be 183 pages. The first page or two could be a list of cues of what kind of observations could be made and famous quotes about the march of time. Whether KDP can print that many pages I do not know.

[@fiddlinero]

Hello Gillian, I followed the steps and published a journal/lyric notebook today! Thank you so much for your insight and for making it understandable and less daunting... Can't wait to see what happens now!

[@thephilosophicalfarmer3295]

Please let us know how its doing...

[@racheldodds8837]

I would definitely like to try this. Please do more on this subject. I'm very interested. Thank you! I really enjoyed the content! Becoming a subscriber!

[@billpearson3830]

Greetings Gillian - All I can say is wow! I loved this video. Yes, I'm going to do it and I'll keep you in the loop about success. I'm retired, so this is a perfect part time opportunity. I believe that the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. It's not a guarantee and thanks for saying that. You are honest and tell the facts. Who could ask for more? I gave it a thumbs up and I also subscribe to your channel.

[@n.s.5278]

Any update?

[@LawzofNature]

This was a fantastic presentation. Thank you for stepping me through the process so well. I’m totally going to try this!

[@lorihuffman2661]

[@priya-jeevithaaram9045]

Wow....what a clear way of a presentation!! I hv followed many KDP instructions, so far this is the best, Thanks Angel! Would definitely give it a try...All the very best..❤️

[@ceriacho8560]

Thank you for this tutorial, I appreciate it. Please include the process of including an account for receiving the payment from customers or Amazon. I watched till the end but I need to rewatch and actually try it out and get it up and running. Anything else we need to know as far as getting this started, please include the videos that accompany it.

[@justinsarvela1102]

I'm def gonna give this a try. My wife is a super creative and she love journaling, but is always disappointed with journal selections.

[@tinapowers-blair615]

Yes I would love to know how to rank my books on Amazon! Thank you for this video! It’s exactly what I needed to see! I’m so excited!

[@modestnarcissist100]

And unlike before, no content and low content books no longer have the "look inside" feature since they aren't given free ISPNs anymore. So, that's yet another strike against new publications

[@abrahamgarza537]

@How I Win the Lottery prove it

[@wildwestunlimited]

I thought about doing this a few months back. My findings, "FLOOOOODED Market"!!.... There are hundreds of people doing the SAME LC books on Amazon that you're thinking of right now. I chose NOT to do this and I am currently not making LC books. It would be EASY for someone to come on her comments page and totally dissuade people from doing this to help make it not so flooded. I am NOT one of those people. Again, I am not making LC books, I just found that the LC book market on Amazon is completely FLOODED. The BEST of luck if you try this. Trust me, you make make any substantial money unless you're CONSISTANT and in about a year to a year and a half, you MAY see some profits. Yes, it's THAT flooded!! You may as well start a KZbin channel and tell people how to make LC books.

[@Ethawa]

It is true that the more you create, the more you will make. But I want to point out that you are not spending any money to create these books. Unless you pay for the Book Bolt Subscription which is only $10 a month. So it is easy to get a profit after the first $10/ month.

[@alancole6912]

Excellent. Can't wait to try this. Thank you. Would love more info on how to Rank and Market.
