So this book after only 1 month of publishing started earning over $11,000 a day and another within 2 months is estimated to earn up to $299,000 so in the next few minutes I’ll turn you from someone who doesn’t have any idea to someone ready to launch a similar business and start making sales
And I promise this tutorial will be different as we’ll go through each step in detail from finding winning ideas to creating your book all the way to launching your business the right way so how are these people making money well they’re using a free business model
Known as Amazon KDP which lets you list your books on Amazon and earn royalties for every book sold and this model is great for beginners as there’s no risk of losing money all you do is publish your books and Amazon does the rest like Printing and shipping to your customers
But what types of books should you create well there are three types low content books such as planners and journals these are easy to make but but come with high competition and quite low profit margins of course if something is easy to make it will have lots of
Competition that’s why we have medium content books such as coloring books and activity books these are a bit more challenging to create and have medium competition and higher profit margins finally we have high content books these include guides and both non-fiction and fiction books high content books are
Hard to copy which means less competition and of course much higher profit margins for beginners I suggest focusing on medium to high content books but that doesn’t mean that you can’t succeed in high competition categories because it’s all about your unique ideas and how to stand out for instance take a
Look at this book things I can’t say out loud in meetings it’s aligned Journal notebook and falls under the low content category the listing is just 3 months old and already makes $30 in royalties daily that’s about $900 a month which is very good next next we have this
Coloring book a perfect example of a medium content book it’s only 1 month old but it’s estimated to bring up to $500 in Daily royalties and if we check the content we will notice simple and easy to make designs moving on to this step-by-step workout guide it features 80 exercises with illustrations videos
And challenges making it an excellent high content book as I said before high content books are hard to copy and have high profit margins so it’s no surprised that this book earns around $11,200 daily you might think creating books like these takes ages well that used to be a few months ago because
Nowadays you can easily replicate any of the books with the help of AI here’s a quick example in under 10 minutes I managed to whip up designs similar to this coloring book and all it took was a simple prompt the only difference that this listing makes 15K a month and we
Don’t but this is not all I promise things will get get even more exciting as we go further into the video all right so with a basic understanding of Amazon KDP we’ll start with how to find winning product ideas and I’ll show you two methods One is paid and the other is
Free okay so I discovered this paid tool called book beam once you’re in it opens up access to a bunch of useful tools but the one I’m really into is The Niche Finder here’s how it works after selecting The Niche Finder you’re greeted with various filters to play
With but I usually pick a preset from the drop- down menu at the top for example you can search for top selling books or better yet spy on the newest books that are selling well there are also tailored filters for journals planners notebooks coloring books and so
On say we choose the new high selling books you’ll see a huge list pop up showing newly published books that are doing great in sales however I recommend tweaking the number of review filters to a maximum of 20 to 40 this will narrow down your competition even further
Further right next to each book you’ll see the BSR monthly sales royalties and price simply start opening these listings on Amazon to get more details check what they offer how many pages the content the design and so on and if you find something you’re interested in basically add it to your product ideas
List so using this tool you can quickly find a bunch of winning ideas that you can recreate for your Amazon KDP business I’ve actually already done the research and created a list of successful KDP products across various niches each book on this list is proven
To work so for a quick start check out the description below now moving to the free method to find products you will need this Chrome extension called DS Amazon quick view this extension shows you the BSR or bestselling rank for Amazon products if you don’t know what
BSR is it’s basically like a sales score the lower the BSR the more people are buying that product let me show you an example of how this free method works first head over to Amazon on and use the search bar up here you might start with
A broad Niche or a specific product in mind let’s take coloring books as an example on the left you’ll see the total number of results for this term which you can use to determine the competition level now with the extension you can see the BSR under each product this number
Tells us whether a product is selling well but what BSR number should you aim for well in general a good BSR number is usually between 1 and 880,000 but that also depends on the category you’re in for example this one has a BSR of around 2 million so this is
Definitely not a good product to sell another has a BSR of over 500,000 so it’s the same deal definitely not something we want to create and the paid tool I use confirms these are making zero sales now this book has a 7,000 BSR which is definitely a winning product
And we can see it makes around 30 sales per day and another one with 37,000 BSR making around eight sales a day so your task is simple keep scrolling and find products with a promising BSR and add them to your list but we’re not done as
I’m going to show you what I like to call the space method basically type your Niche or product and then press the space key this will help you Niche down your idea for even less competition so instead of just coloring books you can now Target coloring books for adults
Kids teens Etc let’s say we choose coloring books for adults you can see the results went down from 70,000 to 60,000 and you can keep going so if I hit space again I’ll get coloring books for adults relaxation animals large print and so on so if we choose
Relaxation for example we will be down to 40,000 results and you can keep narrowing down as much as you want then start doing the same thing scroll down and find products with a good BSR for your own KDP business so we’ve now discovered two methods to find winning
Products both are effective it just comes down to how much time you want to spend on research and now we’re moving to the most exciting part as we’ll now focus on creating the content designing the cover and getting it all set for publishing we’ll be replicating this
Book here the Kawai coloring book and the final results came out incredible as you can see it’s 8 months old has a BSR of 177,000 and it’s making about 18 sales a day that means $25 in Daily royalties the first step will be to analyze the book and see how we can
Potentially stay out we can see it offers different illustrations such as animals fast food and sweet treats it includes 42 illustrations and a total of 85 pages and if we check the actual content it’s actually very simple next we must read some reviews to get an idea
Of what people like and don’t like for example some reviews complain about illustrations being off center and cut out so this is something important to avoid when designing the book another review says we like the book because it’s simple and not too complicated this means we should also keep our
Illustrations Simple and Clean So reading the reviews will help you avoid mistakes and stand out because you’ll be designing your book based on what people actually like so as you know the main part of coloring books is the actual illustrations and to get endless ideas we’re going to use chat GPT so here’s
The prompt I use I’m working on a Kawai themed coloring book for kids I need ideas for items to include please suggest 10 items in each of the following categories keeping them minimal and cute so then I included the categories inspired by the competitor animals fast food and sweet treats and
By using this prompt I came up with illustration ideas for my book in just a few seconds so now we need to turn these ideas into actual illustrations here we can use any AI image generator such as mid Journey or Leonardo AI for example but for this one I’ll use a custom GPT
Called coloring book hero which is tailored for creating coloring pages honestly I was quite impressed with its quality and how simple it was was to use here’s how it’s done we’ll start by opening the illustration list we generated we’ll go through them one by one for instance our first illustration
Is a puppy all I need to do is open the GPT and type in something as simple as a cute puppy and the GPT will generate the first coloring page in seconds the next one is a kitten just type a cute kitten into the GPT and there you have it
Another unique coloring page ready to go once you’ve completed all the illustrations in your first category say animals in our case you move on and repeat the same process until you’ve got all your illustrations ready now this step is optional but I suggest using an image upscaler to enhance the quality
Okay you should have all your book content lined up by now and it’s time to start piecing everything together so let’s start designing I always begin with the book cover since it’s the first thing people will see so go to canva and create a new design oh but hold on
What’s the book size to figure this out open the competitor listings scroll down and and you’ll find the book size right here in our case the book is 8 1/2 by 11 in and with this in mind we can now download The Right template go to Google
And search for KDP cover calculator on The calculator site you’ll input several details start with the binding type which is usually paperback choose the interior type black and white or color then pick your paper type and page turn direction and decide if you want measurements in inches or millimet now
Select the interior trim size which is 8.5x 11 in in our case finally input the total number of pages after that click calculate dimensions and then download template you’ll get a PNG and a PDF file open the PDF and copy the overall dimensions displayed back in canva create a custom design using these
Dimensions from the template and there you go you’ve now got the correct cover size but before designing I like to upload the PNG file to canva and drag it into my template press shift plus r and you’ll notice a ruler appears on the screen now use this ruler to create
Guidelines based on the template this will ensure Your Design fits perfectly while designing so on the right side we have the front cover and on the left the back cover and with your guidelines set it’s time to get creative start by reviewing your competitors’s covers screenshot the best sellers to reference
As you design so I spent about 30 minutes on canva and here’s what I did I started by adding this gradient layer as the base of my background after that I added the title of my book I was inspired by my competition and named it Kawai coloring book which is simple and
Clear as you can see I’ve also used a font that fits the theme nicely then I moved on to Graphics I added this cute looking cat right behind the text giving it a nicer look I also included smaller Kawaii icons related to the book’s content however the top part looked a
Bit empty so I added two clouds behind the c and that completed the front cover for the back cover it was even simpler I just added samples of the coloring pages and a text saying 30 plus fun illustrations at this point I had the book cover done and ready to use but
Before we move on here’s a quick tip place the PNG template over your design and adjust the transparency double check and ensure all elements fit well within the template once you’re satisfied with the cover simply download it as a PDF print and now we will start the interior
Design which means the actual content inside our book I’ll head back to canva and create a new template using our book dimensions 8 1/2 by 11 in and the first thing I’ll do is upload the trim size template now if you don’t know Amazon has different trim sizes I’ll leave a
Link in the description for you to download these guides for free anyway I will start by setting the guidelines just as before then I’ll grab a shape stretch it to fit our template and make it transparent after that I’ll select the Border style from the options available and voila we’ve got this cool
Looking frame for our Pages Next Step uploading our designs to canva and piecing it all together it’s super simple I’ll drag and drop the graphics onto my template making sure everything fits perfectly our competitor left their pages with just the graphics but I wanted to add a little extra so I
Decided to add the name for each design and make it colorable as well I think this will make us stand out a bit more so using the same font as the cover I added the name for each design then I applied the hollow effect which creates
An outline of the text the process is simple from here duplicate the page switch out the illustration and text for each one and repeat until all your pages are done you can also include an introduction page section dividers and a thank you page at the end once
Everything’s put together save it all as a PDF print and there you go your book is now ready to be published now head over to Amazon KDP and sign up for free once you’re in your dashboard will look similar to this click on Create and choose the book type and our case it’ll
Be paperback now on this page you must fill in the required information about your book starting with the title I suggest you look at your competition and try to come up with a similar title for your book just please don’t copy the title as it is or what you can do is
Copy the winning title and head to chat GPT give the bot your book details and ask to create a title using the competitor title as a reference this will also give you different options to choose from next enter the author’s name then move to the description again you
Can use similar listing for ideas or you can ask chat GPT to help craft an Amazon optimized description after that you need to select the book category if you don’t know what to select open a similar listing and scroll to the product details and if you click here you’ll see
The book category on the left hand side then you must enter keywords related to your product and if you have no idea you can use the space method again simply type your product name in the search bar and hit space and Amazon will suggest keywords based on what people are
Currently searching for so you can copy these and use them for the keywords once that’s done hit save and continue now for the ISBN you can either use your own or request a free ISBN from Amazon choose your print option black and white or color and make sure the trim size
Matches your canva template in our case 8 1/2 by 11 select your bleed settings and paperback cover finish then here where it says manuscript you need to upload your book content which means the PDF Pages you’ve created in canva and right under it upload your book cover
You need to tell Amazon whether you use AI to create your book in our case we did so I’ll select yes once you’ve uploaded everything click launch previewer to check what your final book will look like if you see any errors you can head back to canva and make the
Necessary changes to the template if everything looks fine click on approve here Amazon is telling us how much our book production will cost so click on Save and continue to set our prices I recommend starting with something low until you get a few sales so here you
Can see the royalty which is how much you’ll make for each book sold you can also check the prices for the different markets so at this point you’re just one click away from publishing your book however before publishing your book I recommend ordering a copy to check the
Quality but if you prefer not to do so simply click the publish button the Amazon team will then begin reviewing your book and if everything is good it will be approved and published on Amazon thanks for watching and good luck
