i'm going to show you how to create a successful kdp low content book that will make you money if
you're like me and you're always looking for new ways to make money online then you know
that kindle direct publishing is a great way to do that i'm going to share some tips with you
to help you sell more copies of your book or even publish your first book on amazon and get an idea
of how to make more sales so whether you're a complete beginner or you're an expert at this
this video has something for everyone so make sure you stay to the very end what is a low
content book it's basically a little content has a very minimal or no content in the interior pages
these are these pages are generally repetitive and designed to be filled in by the user common
examples include notebooks planners journals or similar works log books stuff like that
of that nature people keeping track of things so the first tip trending in low competition
niches now niche research helps you avoid competition by attracting people who you're
highly interested in what you're selling finding good keywords for your business can be
a challenge this is one of the things when it comes to this you need to understand that this
takes work it's not just here it is let me hand it to you and then you go make 50 a month
just with this one book if it was that simple everyone would be doing it so you have to
understand this and you have to get really good at this right here this comes first before anything
and once you understand this serve the purpose serve the customer give the customer what they
want creative and seo optimized titles i see a lot of people that will create an awesome book
the cover is good the interior is good and the keywords suck the title tags are considered to
be an important seo ranking factor okay so the title of your book is very important
if you want to rank on that front page of amazon i see people with good keywords and a sucky book
i see people with bad keywords in a sucky book i see people with good keywords in a sucky book and
then i see people with good keywords and a good book and the crazy thing about it is if you have
good keywords in a like a book you'll still make sales so understand that right there it's crazy
to even think about that but once you find that top seller it's like a rinse and repeat process
after that and then you can even keep on creating books inside of that niche because
you're leveraging that one book and driving traffic to your other books
keep the content according to the needs of the customer clear and concise design of the interior
this the whole book takes research from the cover to the interior what the person what this customer
is going to be using for what's the customer going to be using this book for think about it
what do they want give them what they want if you give them what they want it's going to be easy for
you to make sales it's that simple concept of your low content book number four you have decided what
type of book you want to create maybe a simple line notebook or you want to create a planner or
perhaps you are good at designing a log book for a specific niche once you come up with the perfect
concept of your book you'll be thinking about your cover design and interior page design if
you're first starting off recommend you just get something up very simple so you can understand the
process of getting the book up once you understand the process of getting the book up and you
like you have the idea of it what are you gonna do to take it to that next level that's something
that you have to ask yourself as a published author on amazon as you're creating these books
how are you going to stand out from the rest of your competition if there's a thousand books in
that one niche what's going to make you different from the other thousand people that are selling in
that niche a lot of people don't get past this part because they think that they put a book
up they're supposed to make sales they created a good book they're supposed to make sales keywords
cover interior and then after that like i would be trying to drive traffic figure out how you're
going to drive traffic to your book to make sales because you can't just rely on the organic traffic
if there's a lot of competition indonesia what you got to figure out like how you're going to
drive traffic to it tic toc is big right now you can use those platforms you do not have to
pay money for advertisement you can leverage like i said tick tock instagram reels pinterest even
has like they're a form of a tick tock video now too as well pay attention to where the organic
traffic on like social media what i recommend pay attention to that because leveraging that
to build an audience which you can do and then after you build that audience up you're getting
that traffic from the outside and bringing it driving into your book and amazon loves that
so now imagine if you had 20 30 customers come from tick tock and you're not running
amazon ads and you have 20 customers come from there let's say three of them purchase you just
basically ranked your book on amazon and you're getting it closer to that front page and then you
decide to do it again and then next thing you know you're getting three five six seven eight
nine ten sales organically every single freaking month because you're doing this now you decide
i'm gonna test amazon ads and see what i can do here but that's the idea behind this you need to
figure that out figure out a niche and just get to work producing content drive the traffic and
do it over and over and over that's what i do with this right here with this content i know it works
this is why i teach it i show people how to do it and i've helped so many people thousands and
thousands of people do this but the content with different platforms coming out there's different
pieces of content different forms of content that can be created to help individuals like yourself
to understand everything and this is why i'm doing it so once you understand that it's very
powerful you can take this to the next level next one is number five copying and trademark issues
this is one way obviously you want to learn this i have people reach out to me is this trademark look
you cannot rely on someone else checking your trademarks for you you have to do it yourself
and this is very important you do not copy anyone else's work on the platform try to come up with
your own idea if you do that you're increasing the chances of you making a top seller now if you're
copying someone else's like say like their book and copied it word for word basically what's going
to happen is if amazon sees that you have the book up first right let's say this is just an example
they can just report your book in your book it's going to be taken down and then go they're going
to love yourselves you want to make sure you're creating original content because this creates
less competition for yourself now you're going to see say like all these there's certain tools
i have like pixel pod studio for example which is going to be down below in the description so
check that out people are using the same interiors but what i always recommend and i always say this
all the time these interiors for me personally i always tell you to create and make them your own
you want to leverage the tools and these templates that you're getting whatever it is leverage that
to your advantage and focus on what you can create to be different from everyone else i've done this
time and time again where i have top selling books in a niche because i'm implementing the
same strategy and understanding what's going on and giving the customer what they want number six
follow the rules of kdp while designing before you start designing always check in because you
don't want to get your account suspended i know a few people that have got their account suspended
and they end up getting it back there's some type of error on their end i'm not sure exactly
but there's a way to do that with merchant amazon i'm not sure if there's a way to do that i heard
a few people doing it but for the most part if you get your account suspended it's usually gone
but kdp you could probably reach somebody to get their attention over there number seven is
this is crucial keywords description titles and pricing okay so keyword research is critical to
your business you want to find if customers are searching for a certain long tail phrase
let's say garden planner logbook if they're searching for that and this is another thing
too there's always new phrases that are popping up and you'll find some new phrases that are popping
up if you're doing your research correctly and you'll see there's no books and that's how you
find a new niche and let me repeat that again you'll see long tail keywords that are popping up
and they're new searches and there'll be no books and yes that is same thing with merch by amazon i
do create a lot of content on merch for amazon and kdp but there is opportunity right there
and how do you find that you have to put the work in to understand what's going on understand the
keywords understand the data what's being shown to you that's your job it's not amazon's job to
here it is this is a niche right here this is here you can make money in this niche it's not
going to do that it's going to give you the data it's going to show you the information and you can
use this by either using like a tool like bookball helium 10 or even that just amazon search bar or
just even on the internet looking for researching stuff and trying to go back and forth to amazon
and thinking of ideas and see what you can hit in the search bar and see what pops up so now
the description the book description is a sales pitch for the buyer so amazon lets you put up to
4 000 characters for your book description it's a key part of your book or marketing materials
be creative using keywords from your niche so you want to make sure that you have all the
keywords in the description and making sure that it makes sense of course and this is going to be
how you're going to sell the customer the book in a way okay so you want to be as descriptive
as possible and make them want to purchase this book if there if this book is used for something
you want to make sure that you describe it and what people are using it for
in the description if the customer goes to this description they should know all the information
about that book so for example say like a swimming log book they should know all the key points about
the swimming log book so the book title is very important that's the first thing that buyers do
is search for the book by its title so you have to be sure that your title is targeting your
niche this is so important when it comes to this you want to know who you're targeting with this
this is the way that you get in front of people putting good keywords in your title
that's what the customer is going to search for and when they search for that think about this
when they search for that you want to give them something you give the algorithm what it wants
give the customer what it wants they'll make that purchase so you got to think of it as a whole
package you got the title so the customer doesn't know that the title they're going to be searching
it's going to be there it's going to be there when it pops up it's going to search now you
have the cover which is to say like the thumbnail so you have to make sure you have a good cover now
it's the information inside of the interior is it something that they want or they're going to use
and then once you do that boom add the cart you made a cell right so it's very important that
you have this down and you know what you're doing it's a complete package so think about it that way
now when it comes to pricing as you start to grow your brand and you grow everything and you start
to put you're getting traffic to your brand your author page stuff like that it's all about the
pricing it can't really tell you how to price your books i'm really not a big fan of that but
you can see like the competition in your niche and looking at their pricing based
off of that when you first start but once you start to get traction to your author page brand
you can price the book at pretty much any price you want i've tested at ten dollars twelve dollars
seven dollars six dollars and they all make sales and one of the things that i notice is
when i start to build the build that brand out get reviews on my books and then i start to mess
with the pricing a little bit of price books at ten dollars and they make sales consistently
which is really cool because you're just getting a higher royalty for your book because it's all the
effort that you put into it it's really awesome to see your royalty rate for each sale is 60
of your listed price so understand that everything is everything's doable when it comes to this once
you have the whole process and you got the whole idea of how you're going to create your book
how to research a book and just the whole work how do you how you have your whole workflow is
going to determine your success on candle direct publishing number eight get your work checked it's
a proofreading so before you publish a book you always want to double check this there's times
where i'll do a book and then there's some misspelling and i have to go back and edit
the book the interior and re-upload it again and it's it's it's part of the game you'll see some of
these i'm not sure like when i was in high school like i would find typos in certain books and
the next thing you know they'll come up with the second edition and they fix the book i'm not sure
if you guys have ever experienced that or you ever acknowledge that because make airs all the time
it's a human error not perfect but understanding the whole concept sharing with a few people that
you know will give you their honest opinion about your book can make all the difference too as well
so share with a few people share with some friends and see what they think about your interior and
see what you can do to make it better how can you make it stand out from everyone else and make sure
you got some honest people around you that will help you and help you create a really awesome
book because it's really important next one number nine marketing and promotion now i went over this
a little bit but amazon ads and then growing a following like on social media amazon likes when
you drive traffic from the outside in so when you're driving traffic from tick tock to amazon
or pinterest to amazon or instagram to amazon or facebook to amazon they love that
they see that and i see people coming to the page they seem like people are interested
people start buying boom and it starts triggering the algorithm and then you start to get organic
cells and then you're getting people from the outside buying and just it's a crazy world we
live in right now it's amazing opportunity do not make any excuses for yourself when it
comes to this right here i get a lot of questions about this and i do not mean this in a mean way
this in a very positive way to help you you need to understand that when it comes to promoting
your book this is something that you created and it's your goal to make sales with that it's not no
one else is no one else's job to make sales it's not amazon's job for them to sell your product
they let us leverage their platform their audience to make sales already if you're gonna rely just
on that it's not good you need to understand that if you drive traffic from the outside
and make sales and force that product to make a sale force that book to make and sell if you do
that you're gonna make more sales and more money i understand that and that is important i think
it's one of the key factors that a lot of us just overlook so marketing and promotion it's a really
awesome time to be promoting anything on social media or growing an audience on any platform it
doesn't matter what it is that you're doing if you can figure out and create audience that want
to purchase a book from you or from your brand it's going to make you more money now with that
