what's up guys so i was browsing twitter
and i found another great amazon kdp
related thread i don't know what it is
about kdp sellers and twitter but they
do put out a ton of value completely
free on twitter so this one is from
wealthseeker you can find him on twitter
at seeking wealth underscore i will link
to his account right there at the top of
the description but i just wanted to
read to you a pretty short thread on why
kdp
might be
one of the greatest opportunities of our
lifetime and that is quoting seeking
wealth i'm assuming it's a him based on
the avatar there so quoting him
so number one it's free to get started
one of the things that deters many
people from starting an online business
are the costs with kdp we have little to
no startup costs plus it's completely
free to sign up for an account
now
in addition to that
for the people that can't get accepted
into the merch by amazon program which
is very similar to amazon kdp you know
we sell print-on-demand
apparel shirts and whatnot then we sell
print on demand books as well with kdp
but the people who can't get into merch
as far as i've heard everybody can get
into amazon kdp plus there's no
application you basically just sign up
and you are in so you can get started
right now next
you can create your first book
entirely for free
using
canva you can use google docs you can
use microsoft powerpoint you can use
book bolt you can use
tangent templates i mean there's a
million things you can use to make your
first kdp book by the way a book
consists of a cover and an interior
it's simple when we publish our books
through kdp amazon handles everything
for us that means we don't have to deal
with
inventory returns
customer service which come on my etsy
sellers you know customer service can
get crazy i mean it can get crazy on
amazon too but etsy especially
printing the books
shipping the books
uh all of these things guys they add up
you know what i mean the one thing that
we never have enough of is time you
might have enough money you nobody has
enough time
and when we don't have to deal with the
inventory the returns the customer
service the printing the shipping all of
that stuff we get time back
all right and by the way we still get
paid when we make sales so what's not to
love
all we need to do
is actually create the books and then
upload them to kdp the uploading part
can get tedious but apart from that it's
super simple what could be better than
that
and the cool thing is the upload part
can actually be
sped up quite a bit because there are
upload automation tools one of my
favorite ones would be the power kdp
upload automation tool i'll link to that
in the description if you want to check
it out it's my preferred tool for
uploading because
kdp does boast a three step upload
process which i don't know anywhere that
has a three-step upload process other
than kdp well it's a it's a bulky
three-step process i mean i know there's
some platforms that are three steps but
it might just be asking you like one
question or two questions per step kdp
asks you quite a few per step
uh
three it can make you passive income the
best way to think about your books is to
think of them as assets they will exist
on the amazon marketplace forever
and these are i think of them as like
seeds i think of them as planting seeds
that are going to generate me wealth
over time again passive
and scalable right you can have one kdp
book you can have 500 you can have 5 000
but there's really no need to like
service them or maintenance like perform
maintenance on them as long as when you
upload them they're ready to go well
like he said they're just gonna sit on
amazon's catalog by the way when you
upload to kdp
you're pushing to like i think 10
different amazon international
marketplaces with the potential to
actually go beyond that with expanded
distribution so it's like you're getting
massive coverage okay on a global scale
it's kind of hard to fathom how easy it
is to start an international
um print print-on-demand book selling
business if you will if you want to call
it that depending on what type of book
you're selling it may not be print on
demand it could just be you know ebooks
right if you're actually publishing
content to the books that you think
people are going to want to read and
interact with on a kindle well then you
got a digital um you know
on-demand book sales business
when we upload our book to kdp it can
potentially sell 24 7 including while we
sleep who doesn't want to make money
while you sleep i think it was warren
buffett that said if you don't make
money while you sleep you'll work until
you die
let that resonate with you because it's
pretty much a guarantee guys
so it can potentially sell 24 7 and thus
we receive passive income when it sells
to me to to wealthseeker that's one of
the best assets you can have
four it provides us with an endless
creative outlet
creating and writing a book is a
creative process it starts with an idea
and then it turns into a reality as we
create the book just think of all the
different types of books you can find on
amazon i mean
we can't even think of all the types of
books you can find on amazon amazon's
catalog is absolutely
unfathomably massive with regards to
books with regards to t-shirts with
regards to anything and everything
um you know how they like you know the
store bed bath and beyond well i think
amazon has the beyond part uh locked
down because they've got everything
with kdp you can sell journals
coloring books puzzle books cookbooks
short stories
how-to guides and many more the sky is
the limit to what you can upload to kdp
and it's the best way to hone in on your
creativity so if you're watching this
and you need a creative outlet
like there's so many different types of
kdp books uh in this case we're talking
about really the interiors remember you
need a cover and an interior
you can put your own spin on the
interior you can upload lined paper you
can upload short stories i mean you can
do coloring books you can just do your
art use it as an outlet to sell your
artwork there's just so many things you
can do
and if you make them interactive and
geared towards
younger kids i think that's you know
typically a pretty safe bet because
parents buy books for their kids i mean
it is what it is like we all had books
growing up kids this these days still
have books as well so that's one kind of
easy in to like maybe launch your first
book gear it towards kids um i am
considering like actually really taking
kdp seriously again because
i recently got access to like a closed i
don't know should i share this i
recently got access to like a closed
ai tool uh through a friend who's using
it for his company and this ai tool can
write you know better than a lot of
humans can write
i just say hey write me a children's
book that rhymes in
3 000 characters or you know what i mean
you can just say that you say that as an
input and then it will write the book
and if you say make it rhyme they'll
make it rhyme like it's crazy guys and
that's kind of the world we live in um
you know it's always nice to have
somewhat of an edge and i think i have a
little bit of an edge given that i can
write um
actual like content related books
without having to like kind of slow down
and me do it myself so anyways i'm
rambling a little bit but just know that
that's also possible guys like that's
where we are right now in terms of um
book creation uh you can just have ai do
it so
i'm not saying i don't know how common
that is but it's something that
definitely like if i can do it then i'm
sure other people are already doing it
so
consider that maybe if you need an idea
for getting your kdp business started
that is also on the table now that you
know about it so anyways guys thank you
