what's up guys so i was browsing amazon
doing some kdp
research and i found a very simple book
that's low content that's
doing incredibly well another thing
that's crazy about this book
is that it's only been live for like two
weeks
so as you can see from this screenshot
it's doing about 620 sales
a month granted when you see it it's a
little bit seasonal don't worry i'm
gonna explain everything but i had to do
a video on this because
imagine posting a low con so the easiest
method of publishing books to kdp
and within weeks having a best seller
it's crazy all right so i'm going to
show you everything you need to know
about this book in this video
[Music]
quick reminder i run a weekly print on
demand giveaway you can enter completely
free
using the link in the description this
week sponsored by merch titans
automation
merch ninja research tools and all
sunsets for your graphic design
also i've got an amazon kdp facebook
group if anybody wants to join link in
the description
all right so i used jungle scout now
this is a
chrome extension software that helps
project based on best seller rank
and category it attempts to project how
many daily monthly sales
a product on amazon may be making as
well as how much revenue
now i'm not recommending anybody that
sells kdp grabs jungle scout because it
is a paid tool but
i use it for fba primarily and it's nice
because then if i want to look at
you know the numbers behind a kdp book
or something i can just click the chrome
extension
and it runs and gives me its estimates
so as you can see here i blurred out the
books that it pulls that are uh
indexed on similar keywords but aren't
the this book i only want to show the
one book so it's a valentine's day
book and one of the things that i didn't
even actually include in this
presentation
relates to the title and you know what
i'll talk about in a second but
let's just look at the the data right
now they're selling the book for 5.99
through amazon kdp if you guys don't
know what kdp is i know some people
watching probably don't it's basically
like amazon merch
for books so it's like print on demand
books it's how you it's amazon's
self-publishing platform
so you don't need to actually be an
author that writes content you can
actually sell
what we call like low content books that
are like notebooks and this is a prime
example i'm going to show you the inside
of this book
just give me a second so at 5.99
per sale it's generating about 21 sales
a day
or 621 sales a month bringing in 3
720 in estimated
revenue granted revenue
it's not painting the full picture of
profit um
when you sell on kdp at 599 they're
probably making like a dollar and 90
cents or so
per sale so that's worth mentioning but
if we go
over here also i use the helium 10
chrome extension to see
historical bsr data i'll put a link to
both
jungle scout and helium 10 in the
description in case you want to check
either of them out the helium 10
historical bsr data you can actually get
for free so you don't need to pay
anything these are great
ways of seeing the amazon platform from
the seller perspective instead of the
buyer perspective which is a big thing
to make that shift to be successful
as an amazon seller but what we can see
here and i have this set to all-time
history
is that this book was published like
january 26th or 27th
so not even that long ago i'm recording
this video on february 8th and you can
see that the
historical bsr was recorded as high as
about 180 000
but pretty much had consistently good
sales consistently low bsr and then
right behind me you can see
the sales rank is 1058 which is very
very good very low and here's a picture
of the book i'll also put a link to it
in the description of this video in case
you want to go check it out but it's a
number one bestseller in antique and
collectible autographs now
the book categories this is kind of a
way of gaming the system to get a best
seller
on amazon i've seen people do this in um
by placing their book in weird
categories but either way it's a number
one bestseller so whoever published this
low content book
is now an amazon best-selling author
which is kind of funny
um but like they basically did the
minimum
with this book i'm going to show you the
interior in a second but one thing that
i did want to
talk about before i forget is look at
the
first keywords of their title valentine
day
gift for her now when i went to amazon
i was typing in valentine day
valentine's day
and the autocomplete shows you kind of
like the priority
of uh most commonly searched related
keywords
and it said valentine's day gifts for
her was right there like the number one
so this person during their keyword
research said you know what i'm not
gonna try to be smarter than
than amazon let me just go to amazon
they'll tell me
what keywords to try to prioritize
ranking on
now i don't know if they're running any
ads for for what it's worth like i
didn't click an ad i saw this
organically
so they may or may not be running ads
again i can't confirm but if not this is
really impressive
organic success and very strategic usage
of relevant keywords uh in secession too
like the order they used them in was
very intentional
and amazon gave them the suggestion
there's another chrome extension you can
check out called amz
suggestion expander it's completely free
and it'll expand
the autocomplete on amazon.com to show
you more long tail keywords
and also some words that come before and
after
the word that you seed it with so if you
seed it with valentine's day you might
see keywords before and keywords after
based on amazon's suggestions
so it's a really useful tool also look
at i mean the description
very basic they did 120 page low content
book six by nine inch
college ruled glossy cover i mean this
is
basic basic and then also i mean i
haven't even looked at the cover yet but
it says i think
being your husband is gift enough so
it's really funny and we know
humor sells whether you're selling books
coffee mugs t-shirts
humor cells and i've saw some other
really funny like valentine's day
sub niches one of them comes to mind
because i saw it being listed on a bunch
of print-on-demand products
i want to tell you what it was but it
it's got curse words in it it was
something like
i love effing you and then it said
whoops i meant i effing love you okay
that's what the niche was and it was
really funny and i saw a bunch of
products with that selling on it
um but anyways i mean this this book is
selling really well they kept it simple
let's take a peek at the
uh interiors here it says they have a
cover page this is pretty common says
this notebook belongs to
if found please call i mean they
probably use this cover page in like all
of their low content books
then you've got just a repeat of this
college ruled
um very basic blank interior
lined paper you know and then this last
page is actually not the last page
it's the back of the book but they
didn't do any designing there they kept
it simple
kdp will generate a barcode for you if
you tell it to generate a barcode for
you
so essentially all they did was they
designed the book cover
that you see here super simple you can
do that in like photoshop canva etc
they designed this cover page which
again they probably just reuse on all
their books
as a part of the interior so the cover
page is included with the interior
that you see here and with the interiors
you typically can just go download them
on websites for free i mean there's
there's you can make your own interiors
you can go pay websites for premium
interiors but something like this that's
lined paper
very simple you can get those for free
and
the back of the book is uploaded as one
cover file so
when you upload the cup the front cover
it's one file it's basically
front cover spine and back of the book
you have to kind of define
what size that's going to be based on
how many books you have
or how many pages you have in the book
um it's basic formula there's actually
calculators out there that help you do
it
and if you're interested if if you
followed me this far and you're not
selling on kdp and you're like hey this
seems like i can do this you know i can
make
3 700 a month selling a low content book
how do i get started well
i just so happen to have taken the time
to put together a full course on how i
sell low content books
on amazon using ryan's method using the
path of least resistance
pretty much automating as much as
possible and that's why i was happy to
show this book off because it's
very easily automated like this is this
book is about as simple as it gets
that's why i keep saying it's it's
simple it's simple you can put in more
effort
and make other types of books like i
show you how you can generate unique
interiors with things like crossword
puzzles
sudoku puzzles various types of puzzles
coloring books
etc but also these simple books can sell
really well
it's just tough to know which ones are
going to take off and which ones aren't
so i do have a full course link in the
description if you want to learn from
me everything you need to know about how
to sell low content books on amazon kdp
and that's it guys thank you so much for
watching till the end do me a quick
favor hit that like button if you
