Earning online with Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is a growing trend. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to generating passive income on Amazon KDP, especially for beginners with no experience, design skills, or significant capital. All you need is a computer, internet access, and a willingness to learn.
Amazon KDP allows you to publish ebooks and print-on-demand books, set your own prices, and earn royalties on each sale. Low content books like notebooks, journals, and coloring books are particularly suitable for beginners due to their ease of creation, consistent demand, and high-profit potential.
This article will analyze a real-world example of a seller earning over $1000/month with a single low content book and guide you through finding a profitable niche and creating your own. You can achieve similar results without any upfront costs.
Finding a Profitable Niche on Amazon KDP
To find a profitable low content book niche, follow these three simple steps:
Step 1: Search Results: Search on Amazon using keywords related to low content books. Ideally, aim for under 1000 search results, indicating lower competition. For example, the keyword “ABC Dot Markers Activity Book” yields around 260 results.
Step 2: KDP Books on the First Page: On the first page of search results, look for at least three KDP books (published by independent authors) with a BSR (Best Sellers Rank) under 300,000. This demonstrates market demand for that niche. In the example above, many KDP books have BSRs under 300,000, some even below 20,000.
Step 3: Niche Score: Use the Titans Quick View tool (a Chrome Web Store extension) to evaluate the niche score. A score of 50 or higher indicates good potential. The keyword “ABC Dot Markers Activity Book” has a niche score of 79.
Analyzing a Sample Book and Estimating Profit
Choose a best-selling KDP book in your chosen niche to analyze. For instance, the “Dot Markers Activity Book” has a BSR of 18,581, priced at $7.99, with 108 pages and 5-star reviews. Using a sales estimator tool, this book is estimated to sell around 15 copies per day, equating to 450 copies per month, generating over $1000 in monthly revenue.
Creating a Low Content Book with Canva
Canva is a free and user-friendly design tool that allows you to create simple yet effective low content books.
Creating Content Pages: For an ABC Dot Markers book, each page needs a large letter/number with a hollow effect and dots for coloring. You can easily achieve this using Canva’s built-in tools.
Creating the Complete Book: After designing sufficient content pages (around 50) and inserting blank pages in between, you’ll have a book of approximately 100-110 pages. Export the file as a print-ready PDF (PDF Print, CMYK or RGB) for uploading to Amazon KDP.
Conclusion
Making money with Amazon KDP through low content books is entirely achievable, even as a beginner. By following this guide, you can create a sustainable passive income stream. Start your online money-making journey today!
