Today I'm going to show you exactly how you can earn thousands of dollars per month by creating
online puzzle books now I'm gonna not only show you how to create those puzzle books step by step
but I'm also going to show you how to sell those books and how you can make a whole lot of money
from them but first if you are new to my Channel I want to say welcome welcome and I'm so excited
that you are here please do me a huge favor and go ahead and hit that like And subscribe button and
make sure you turn on your notifications because I always have piping hot tea when it comes to
securing the bag and if you are returning back to my channel then welcome back we are all one
big happy family and I'm so excited to talk about this new side hustle because people are seriously
making a lot of Bank from this let's talk about it so in order for us to make all of this money
using these puzzle books we have to have the right kind of software to do it and your girl
doesn't have a whole lot of free time so I like quick and easy and the way that you use
the software to do it is through a company called book bold so book bolt is a software
that basically makes it super easy for you to create low content journals books but in this
case we're going to be creating a low content item called the puzzle books and it's actually going to
put the book together for us and when we're done creating the puzzle book we're going to upload it
to Amazon KDP if you've previously tuned into my channel you know that I've done a previous
video on book bolt where I created a composition journal and basically showed you how to go through
that process and how to create journals in as quick as five minutes so if you're interested
go and check out that video If you want to get a different spin on it before we get started with
our puzzle book today as I mentioned earlier I was going to show you exactly how much people
are making from the these puzzle books and the way that we do this is by installing something called
KDP spy KDP spy basically shows you this Insider information about how much people are making how
many units they're selling per month so after we go in and click on KDP spy in football it's
going to take us to this page which is basically a Chrome extension now once you install this Chrome
extension to your browser it'll be super easy so you won't have to keep logging into Katie
into bookboat to see this type of information you'll basically be able to just click the little
extension on your browser to get the information that we're about to look at now so for purposes
of this video Let's just type in Halloween word puzzles right so let's search for that and then
let's go over here and click on our Amazon KDP extension and let's hit start and let's see what
it comes up with all right so let's look at the stuff related to Halloween here we go Halloween
word search for adults this person has sold 6 000 units of this book in the past month that
is ridiculous and if you look at the date this is from August 28th it hasn't even been a full month
where this person has sold that many units and has made that much money off of one puzzle book
August 28th they've sold six thousand dollars and they sold 891 units of a Halloween word search so
this is your proof that it's super easy to make thousands of dollars per month and again this book
literally hasn't even been out for a full month yet okay so in order for us to to get started in
book bolt with creating our puzzles we will want to navigate over here to where it says create
and then we're going to click on the option that says book bolts designer I'll exit out of here
and if you are seeing this view this is actually the classic view this is not going to be the
studio view that we're going to use to make our puzzles so you'll want to make sure that you go
up here on the right hand corner and you click the option that says try the book bolt Studio
that is the new studio and that's what we want to use okay so this is the fun part this is where
we actually go step by step creating our word search puzzles now I don't want to see all of
this writing on here that is just a little bit of a distraction to me so what I want to do is
I actually want to get rid of all this writing on here so I'm going to go up here to cover template
and click hide KDP cover template to just get rid of that and hit OK or you can X out of it
what I've actually already done is I've looked for some Halloween images and I want to start
creating my covers so I went into this is through pixabay which is you know the internally linked
um image database that is hosted on book bull so I didn't have to pay for these images nobody had
to create them for me this is already in the image library and we're going to want to make
sure that we stretch this completely because we don't want any white spaces on the actual books
like when people start to purchase these books we don't want them to see empty white spaces so
make sure that this is good and stretched okay I think that looks good now I'm going to add
just a couple of things to this cover so that it's not just like you know an empty cover so I'm just
going to type in Halloween because this is going to pretty much give me everything that I need so
there we are we found the word Halloween now I'm just searching for like a really cute little image
that'll kind of make this book cover pop just a little bit so here are our friendly little bats
and I think this makes the cover just it looks really cute like it's a friendly little cover
but it's also something that's like aesthetically pleasing enough for you to see it on Amazon and
say oh that's really cute I think I want to buy that now I don't want to stop there I'm going
to add just one or two other things I think I want to put like a pumpkin out here somewhere
let me find a nice little picture of a pumpkin oh these are really nice pumpkins and it actually
has the word Halloween on it and again this is seasonal so I want to make sure that of course
this matches what I put in the description box for the actual puzzle book but also make
sure that it's easy for someone that's scrolling through Amazon to just say oh that's a Halloween
type puzzle book so I think that I'm going to add a little bit more and so now that I've got
my little label this little white cloud this is what I'm going to put my actual title of
this uh word search book so now that I've got that let's go ahead and add a heading
here we've got our heading and I'm just going to name it simply put word search it doesn't have to
be complicated and let me make this just a little bit tinier so that it will fit in our cute little
box is there a widow I think that looks nice enough and I'm just going to take some time to
kind of tweak this and just make sure it's fully aligned okay so now that we've got the cover that
front cover and that back cover done let's go ahead and start working on the interior so I
clicked on page one over here to the left and I'm going to click on where it says word puzzle
and I'm going to select the type of puzzle which is going to be a word search
and I'm just going to do the first four pages now of course you can do a lot more pages
um most journals have at least like 50 pages in them but for purposes of this video I'm just going
to do the first four pages click next and here's my configuration it allows me to determine how I
want this to look so I'm going to do 10 words per page that's how many uh words I want to do in each
puzzle we're going to add cells let's change the line color to Black so it's easier to see
very very cool and I'm going to leave this color alone but I am going to go over here
to using random words and sentences to fill that area yes and I do want to add Solutions after the
puzzle page so we want to make sure all three of those boxes are clicked okay so you may be
saying well Jazzy how in the world do we find that many words you know if you're doing 25 puzzles 10
words each that's 250 words I can't think of that many so all you do is go out to Google
you can type in Halloween words list there are a ton of sites where you literally can grab words
this is the first thing that popped up you could literally grab these words I mean it's it's not
that complicated if you want to click on here this is teachstarter.com here's a bunch of words that
you can do and the list goes on like there's just so many different ways that you can pull
this information like it's got haunted house trick-or-treat jack-o-lantern and it goes on
and this is just like some of the basic words you can also click on adjectives nouns and phrases to
see even more information around uh the different types of words that are related to that particular
holiday so let's get into this other part which is how we actually generate those puzzles so
now remember what we have to do is put them in a CSV file which is going to be in Microsoft Excel
so here I went ahead and took the liberty of uh basically pasting out some Halloween related words
into an Excel sheet now I only did it for the first few puzzles because you all get the drift
but what's important to note is for every 10 words that you do let's say that you're doing 10 words
per puzzle okay you're going to do 10 words and paste them into this Excel sheet and then you're
going to do a space before your next set of 10 words and you're going to put a space in between
every set of ten words that's because you're using 10 words per page now the space tells book bolt
when you upload the file it's basically telling book bolt that these are different puzzles so if
you put them all together it's going to create one gigantic puzzle of 250 words versus if you
do sets of 10 with spaces in between it's going to recognize that every 10 words is a new puzzle
so once you've done that for however many puzzles you want to do you're basically just want to go up
here and click file save as and you want to make sure that the extension on the end says dot CSV
so I'm going to change this to CSV up here dot CSV there we go and I'm going to save it
and that's all we need to do for that and then if this is going to be the part where
we upload the CSV file that we did earlier that has our actual words in here very simple
and let's hit submit give that a second to go and here is our actual word search so that
was super easy very simple so I don't want it to exactly just look like this because this kind of
looks plain I want to tweak this just a hair so what I'm going to do is actually highlight this
I'm going to bring this down and then I'm going to add a nice little heading to this
okay Perfecto Perfecto and then let's just call this like puzzle
wrong Halloween puzzle let's just call it number one it doesn't have to be anything fancy
right and let's make that a little bit smaller just so you can see it
all right cool and I don't want it to be super plain I'm just going to add me a quick little
image in this just so that you know it doesn't look so generic you know let's do something thing
based let's do the pumpkin again I'm not gonna leave this huge pumpkin sitting right here I'm
actually going to change the opacity for this which is going to kind of make it blend in a
little bit so let's take this down to about 20 something and that way we can still see
the letters very clearly so now we've got our Halloween puzzle so that looks super cute now
we need to do the actual Solutions so let's do the solutions page so if we just take a look
at page five the letters that you see that are in Black those are our actual Solutions and the ones
in Gray are just like randomly generated uh letters so we want to make sure that
people know which Solutions go to which puzzles so I'm going to also give this a title so I'm just
going to move this down the solution puzzle looks really really good I can see the words clearly
and I can see the pumpkin in the background so I think at this point we are ready to upload this
to Amazon KDP now I've done the actual steps for uploading to Amazon KDP um in a previous
video so you can check out that previous video which I've linked down below if you need all of
these step by steps what to do for Amazon KDP but it only takes just a few minutes so don't
worry it's not hard so when it comes to marketing your particular puzzle books you may be saying
well Jazzy how do people discover me how in the world are they going to know that I have opposable
that's available so of course we've already talked about the Amazon KDP and we've talked about using
SEO and those keywords for people to be able to organize technically locate your content and of
course it's going to be perfect when you're using those seasonal words that are related
to different things like holidays and events that are happening in addition to this another way to
boost your sales is going to be word of mouth if you're putting together puzzle books for kids this
is something great for you to share with people that you know that are teachers that maybe on you
know day cares that have any type of Child Care Learning Centers I mean think about it a teacher
is going to have easily 30 students in each of her classes some of them have like 150 students
and they're looking for this type of stuff to keep their students busy in between different
activities or when they're out and they have to get a substitute teacher now that could easily
be 150 sales for you just talking to one person imagine if you tell this to your church directors
or or other people that you work with on your job people that like to hold sleepovers whether this
is a fall Harvest event that you might be hosting there are so many different ways for you to sell
this product in bulk so make sure that you are also posting about this on your social media and
you're telling the people that you actually know that you have a really super cool puzzle book or
activity book to keep kids busy so when it comes to using book bulk they have two different plans
now I want to emphasize just so you know if you're going to be creating these word puzzles
um these activity puzzles if you're going to do that you're definitely going to want to use the
pro account you have to have a pro account in order to be able to use those features now I do
have down in the description box there is a link that you can use to get 20 off using my actual
link and putting in the actual code so this would not be 19.99 per month it'd be 15.99 per month to
get all of those cool little tools that you use to create those activity puzzles now if you just want
to try before you actually do anything uh before you commit to it this is month to month you can
cancel at any time but they do have the three day free trial just so you can kind of you know poke
around see what it's all about and again make sure that you have a pro account if you're going to do
the puzzle creation so you just created your first puzzle activity book and you see how much earning
potential there is all you have to do is do a nice little cover create a couple of puzzles throw that
thing on Amazon KDP and watch the money roll in so please let me know how it goes let me know how
your sales go if you take the time to do anything like for Christmas or for Valentine's Day I would
love for you to drop a link down below once you get your stuff up and going because I really
love to see what you all are working on until the next time I will see you all in the next video bye
