Are you changing your approach to low content book publishing or have you already been making those changes? Let me know how you're doing so far in the comments!
100% agree. I'm just getting started, but the easiest test I've come up with is when I'm about to publish a book I ask myself, "would I want this book as a consumer?" The answer better be yes or I shouldn't even publish. Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Not gonna lie, I clicked into this video thinking it was going to be negative. But it was the total opposite!!! Total eye opener, so much sincerity and raw truth. I have happily subscribed!!
my mother always says "who doesn't know how to thank people doesn't know how to thank God, so want to thank you so much, thanks to all your motivation and encouragement and your advice, my sales are growing day after day, and yes I do agree that it's better to make different interior and different and less books are better
You just spoke my mind Fati. I was on the verge of giving up before she came. The fact that I have done the best that I could in terms of writing, designing, and uploading despite having no designing nor technical skills, was enough to give up. Worse still, I haven't made a single sale. I can't thank her enough for her words of encouragement. This is enough to fuel me to the top.
I started listing books around May 25th and have sold 6 books so far. That's a start as far as I'm concerned. I appreciate what you do, I always love coming to your channel for advice and tips.
Your video is just what I needed to watch today. It shows me how important it is to watch current videos rather than the ones created over a year ago since things have changed. Thank you 😀.
This is such a beautiful video. People tend to forget the whole point of the amazing opportunity of KDP for truly creative people. One unique notebook is worth 25 generic ones and it will show in terms of sales, reviews, etc.
I am professional author who has used KDP before I obtained a publisher. As Amazon "progresses" with POD, they take more and more out of your sales. Many of us authors and artists are so discouraged with Amazon. One of the issues with POD is now everyone can publish (but should they?). Quality is starting to go dooooowwwn. SO, one of the most important things to remember: quality over quantity. Plan. Have a test group who would use this type of book tell you if they WOULD use it. This is a nice, straightforward video. Creative and intelligent.
Basically. I’ve seen all these low content videos, and I’ve always thought that sure I’ll follow a lot of those steps, but I want to do my own spin on things. I don’t want just some carbon copy sheets and some randomly thrown together covers. If I make and sell a product, even if I get the template from elsewhere, I’m making it into something of my own and I’m making something ID actually want to buy. Something of quality. Not the same old things people pump out over and over again.
@@ohmyprettygirl yes and that same old thing copied and sold over and over again is what is not selling. I thought about thise same thing 2 days ago while watching this vids and I thought to myself when I shop at Walmart for a daily planner, I bought something that allowed me to schedule my time based on every day and hour printed so I can just hand write next to each hour of each day what I want to do for that time period. Sounds obvious. Of course I had many choices for such an option among other daily planners in that section in the offline store correct? No, actually is was just the one that offered that option so I bought it because it met my need and ignored the rest because they offered little writing space and some have no dates and expect me to write in the dates because doing so is easier for the owner of the product but to sell something is to make my life easier as a customer not your life easier, that is why I pay you as a business owner. Fast food is easier not better for you, but if I can cook my own food, eat healthy and it's easier long term in multiple ways and that idea is sold to me as such, I will buy because it solves a problem. When you solve the problems people have, you get their business. I know I'm preaching to the choir with you but you're not alone. You're on the right track. best of luck to you and everyone in low content publishing. I have not started doing this yet but I'm very interested. Have a great day.
@@ohmyprettygirl You should aim to make quality stuff, but you shouldn't aim to only make things that you'd want to buy. That's just limiting your product and thus sales because there's millions of people aren't there who'd wanna buy something that you never would. My 2 cents.
I got a proof copy of one of my books. I was very interested in what the user experience would be. It was eye opening. I changed a few fonts (too small or too large) and also changed some colors on the cover. I'm focusing on the customer as opposed to volume. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the video!
Best way! I know that by you doing that you will do a lot better than those that don't go that extra mile to make sure their books are good quality. The very best of luck to you!
Thank you so much for your clarity. I just created my first coffee table book, not knowing that low-content books were a thing in the market. I became a little demoralized when I learned about low-content publishing, viewing it as saturating the market with subpar products. I'm encouraged to hear affirmation that producing higher quality, lower volume work is the way to approach the market now. Thank you again for your candor and grace.
I asked you in another comment to tell me frankly if it is working then this video of yours POP up to me ... you can not imagine how much I was relieved and inspired to go ahead ... you have to do videos for inspiring startup even if they are 3 minutes length ... Be Blessed as you brought relief to a heart that was very anxious ... love you to the moon and back
Thank you for making this video so truthful. It's so hard what to believe on UA-cam because so many people are only out to sell you their latest how to guide. Like you say, it's totally free to start which is a big incentive for me to try. I've tried business promises in the past that have so many upsells once you start them so then if you can't make it work you've lost money maybe not everyone has. I don't mind putting money in once I know the process works and I learn it, after all you have to spend some money to make money. We need more honest people like you in the home business world :)
I write because it is my passion. I just enjoy the experience and do not overwhelmed myself with what the reader wants or doesn't want. Whoever wants to read my book is welcomed to come aboard and enjoy the ride. I tried to learn from others and improve in any way I can. Thank you for the knowledge provided!
My kitty is 19years old and meows and gets hung up on his sleep pillow too. Great info on KDP< I’m a beginner gathering my info to make a good decision about all this. Love to write short stories and KDP looks very interesting
I've only heard of kdp recently, but it's always been a childhood dream of mine to make & publish books so for the past couple days I've been OBSESSED making my first book. It's an anxiety workbook, because my anxiety is what keeps me from starting a "real" job or going outside most days. I really hope this works, because for the first time I have hope that I'm gonna be able to make money without having to pump myself full of medication just to go outside and maybe make a couple bucks that won't even pay rent. Sorry for rambling, you earned yourself a new sub!
I really wish you every success with your book! And I know it's not going to be the last book you will create... once you catch the book making bug I'm sure you will continue to create books. I love your story because you are doing the exact right thing: creating a book on a subject that you are an expert on. Your book will potentially help so many other people who are going through the same thing as you. Keep me posted!
Very positive video. I have 17 books but barely made a dime. It's okay I love the dream of writing and will continue to write until the end. Nice when you can make money, but if not still I will write. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your encouragement. I just started KDP in November 2020 and haven't sold anything yet but I'm gaining a lot of new skills and I appreciate your willingness to help newbies like me.
I thank you so much I recently put out a positive quotes book and so far I have sold nine units and 11 kindle I’m excited and I will Definitely be taking your sound advice on my next book keep up the amazing work and your voice is so soothing❤️
This is so helpful. Thanks so much for your transparency! I’m just researching to begin this at 66 and living in Portugal now. I have a graphic design background so, this seems a good fit.
Quality and integrity matter. Who would've thought? Filling the market with subpar content is not a good thing. I'm old enough to remember when taking pride in your work mattered. This video is a breath of fresh air.
Thank you for the encouraging words in this video. I am new to KDP and haven’t sold any books yet. I am trying to keep a positive mindset and continue to learn each day. I lost my job in October and have focused on online opportunities instead of the “loss”. Thanks for all the great content…it has helped me immensely! 🤗
My brother just told me about kdp and i found your video. I am encouraged now much more. Thank you for your honesty and your words made me feel like I'm gonna do a big step
Thank you for posting this video. You've been truthful without being negative or harsh. Your beautiful voice and encouragement is inspiring. Very much appreciated :-)
I love your channel and your story how you’re so honest. I made 10 books and a few organic sales in December. I want to try again...I’m a single mom of 3 small kids and I’m trying to make money online long term.
That is a great start! Don't give up, this business takes time but with a lot of work and patience, you can do this. I admire you so much for doing this while bringing up 3 small children on your own, I was a single mum with 3 small children once too and I wish I had found this opportunity then... I'm glad I found it now even if my children are now grown up. I wish you all the best on your KDP journey, you can do this!
Your voice and accent is so lovely. 💕 You are very encouraging. Thank you for your advice. Blessings 🙏🏽 to you and your family. Will definitely look into joining your Facebook group once I finish my social media fast.
Awesome video. I love the way she explain things so calmly and easy going. I also love that she's not screaming and yelling like 99.9% of the youtube gurus. Lots of good and sensible information. Thanks million. :)
Great info thanks I am bored doing nothing at home since the lock down working at home is slow so thought of Kdp but then changed my mind after watching some videos of people complaining that its not working for them, now I know why you have clarified it all for me and I thank you again and God bless..
Thankyou for being so honest you've won me over all the others. The problem with all the others is they describe something that might work in "theory" but not none of them actually do it, let alone "prove" their theory for making money online works and makes the thousands of dollars they claim it does, in fact they haven't even made a single dollar with their theory. They all give misleading information and leave out hidden costs and frustrating obstacles that can be impossible to conquer. I have found most of them are making false misleading videos based on theory, telling you it works but dont prove it works, and are simply wolves preying on us genuine hurting people in need of more income to live and all our views make them rich. Again thankyou for being the honest one, I have been convinced youtube is ruined with scammers and their rubbish.
Thank you so much for watching and your trust in me. Unfortunately videos that promise quick results with minimum effort are the ones that do well, and UA-camrs want to reach as many people as possible. I think sometimes UA-cam is very much an entertainment platform, and a lot of people present ideas rather than real life experience. I never thought this video of mine would get so many views, because I went against all the advice and I just told it as it is. People who genuinely want to learn will appreciate it.
I watched a video from a woman claiming to make tens of thousands every month with her low content books. So I went and looked her up. She only had a few books pm Amazon and they had zero reviews or maybe 3 or 4. LOL A lot of them are definitely lying.
Great video, I watched one other video about KDP and got enthused by the possibilities, this one is more sobering and grounded in the reality of it all, it doesn’t necessarily come easy in the beginning, thanks for the tips, I just sub’d!
I just wana say this, I just came across this video that is just under a year old and I am truly grateful. I come from Kenya and i think it's just amazing how so many people across the world have similar struggles and just want to catch a break and make some money online. I am currently trying out a few businesses and I can tell you that this video has a very deep message that applies to anyone struggling to set up a successful online business. Thank you for your year old insight and encouragement.
Wow you did it again. Such a wonderful honest video. And you are right you have to have the right mindset. For example I now have 70+ books starting out. I made some money the first two months, but now it has come to a halt . However, I am not discouraged at all. Why? Because I am having so much fun learning new things, designing, creating, and managing my time better. I will say this you can't give up hope. You've got to have confidence in yourself, and that comes with time. Baby steps is truly the key. Like you said slow down and take time to #1 enjoy the process, and #2 concentrate on making a good quality product that doesn't looked rushed. Finally do listen to others on how to accomplish your goals. I think this is why so many people trust you because you are honest, and so humble that you inspire us to be better creators on our journey. For that I thank you so much for taking the time to understand where we struggle, and help us along the way.
I believe it comes to a halt because people copy what you're doing. The ideas, the designs, etc. And then sell them slightly cheaper. I've been selling on line on different platforms for 14 years, and it happens to me all the time.
Yea true, when i don't have sales i give up for a while, then when i have sales i start produce again, the hardest part in KDP i would say is motivation to work.
I'm really glad to have found you. Another great Ytouber said just put lots of books up, and I thought that was good even though I had planned on making unique low content books. It's good to know that unique is better.
It's definitely not about the number of books. When you first start, of course it take a few books to practice, but after that it is really about the quality of your books that will get you sales. Unique is definitely better, all the best to you on your KDP journey!
You have no idea how much I need to hear everything what you've said. I wanted to start with this business but have a lot of questions and doubts with myself. 😔
Aww...love the senior kitty. I have two senior kitties that are 18 and I've had to create low steps for them to get to the places they used to. Great video as usual! Thank you!
That's amazing, I also have two, they are sisters and they are also 18 years old. We just lost our little dog, we're so used to all three old ladies, now we have the two. Sometimes they still behave like little kittens.
Thanks for that video, I found it very motivational. I already publish on KDP with moderate success but sometimes need a pep talk like this to keep me going and growing!
Thank you very much for your kind words and unparalleled wisdom and advice sister. I'm really touched by the way you have delivered your content. You have educated me so much more than four years of university.
How many have you sold so far, since it’s been three months since you posted that I am curious how much you’ve grown? Has this been a viable option for you?
@@amandamarie9699 So many setbacks computer died had to move all while locked down took over a month to get a new computer and no help to move and have to move again in a month not much progress but still making books
Hi! Thank you so much for posting this! I didn't come watch it for a while because I was in a shaky emotional place about trying a new way to make money online after having tried so many. Also, I was starting to have doubts, like maybe I joined the bandwagon too late. I am really happy I did watch! I had all of those doubts you were talking about too, about people just knowing things I didn't know. I just put my first five books up on KDP and like you said, I totally put different colored cover choices in case people didn't want the original color. Thank you so much for your honesty and your encouragement! This was exactly what I needed to hear today to keep trying KDP!
Thanks for such an informative video, I learned a lot. And I just have to say that you are a very nice, beautiful and sweet lady. your voice is very soft and calm. You are very pleased to both listen and watch!
Are you changing your approach to low content book publishing or have you already been making those changes? Let me know how you're doing so far in the comments!
My approach is aggressive content. I bought 15000 low content book interior template from fiverr and I design covers and upload as many as possible.
@@smartcrytotech2700 please tell us about your results using this method?
@@smartcrytotech2700 what’s your results so far?
@@theguynextdoor4822 I have uploaded about 400 and some don't sell but on average I made $345 last month and counting.
I actually started KDP with recipe books and poetry books now I'm doing low content books. Thank you for the information & inspiration!
100% agree. I'm just getting started, but the easiest test I've come up with is when I'm about to publish a book I ask myself, "would I want this book as a consumer?" The answer better be yes or I shouldn't even publish. Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Absolutely! Thank you so much for watching!
@@TheHomeBoss May I ask how would they pay you? Is it based on the price minus printing cost? or they will pay you only based on your royalty?
@@jamesedwardpote3536 Your royalty is the price minus the printing costs. So you set it yourself. Ebooks is different.
You should still consider your potential audience. Are *other* people interested in it and would they pay money for it? Good luck.
Exactly. 👏🏾👏🏾 Even when I watch older videos, I always think this way. People think they can just throw anything together and people would buy it
Not gonna lie, I clicked into this video thinking it was going to be negative.
But it was the total opposite!!! Total eye opener, so much sincerity and raw truth.
I have happily subscribed!!
Thank you so much!

Awesome video. I love the way she explain things so calmly and easy going. I also love that she's not screaming and yelling like 99.9% of the youtube gurus. Lots of good and sensible information. Thanks million. :)
😊 thank you
Thank you so much. I am truly thinking about making coloring books. You are a beautiful mentor. Thank you again. 🙏🙏🙏
Ma'am your voice is magical and you have good insights
You make this world a better place! You are making a lot of people believe in something wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Wow, thank you!
So sweet ! Thank you for comforting us in that way and giving us the confidence to pursue. Love your kindness. All the best 😘
Thank you so much!
Thank you. I was having doubts about this. The internet is so full of fake and BS but you are so genuine. I will continue.
I'm glad you found it helpful, I wish you all the very best!
Thank you so very much for this! I truly appreciate everything you say here. God bless you!
Thank you for this video its the most realistic and still very encouraging. you have an amazing voice very soothing
Great info thanks I am bored doing nothing at home since the lock down working at home is slow so thought of Kdp but then changed my mind after watching some videos of people complaining that its not working for them, now I know why you have clarified it all for me and I thank you again and God bless..
Thankyou for being so honest you've won me over all the others. The problem with all the others is they describe something that might work in "theory" but not none of them actually do it, let alone "prove" their theory for making money online works and makes the thousands of dollars they claim it does, in fact they haven't even made a single dollar with their theory. They all give misleading information and leave out hidden costs and frustrating obstacles that can be impossible to conquer. I have found most of them are making false misleading videos based on theory, telling you it works but dont prove it works, and are simply wolves preying on us genuine hurting people in need of more income to live and all our views make them rich. Again thankyou for being the honest one, I have been convinced youtube is ruined with scammers and their rubbish.
Thank you so much for watching and your trust in me. Unfortunately videos that promise quick results with minimum effort are the ones that do well, and UA-camrs want to reach as many people as possible. I think sometimes UA-cam is very much an entertainment platform, and a lot of people present ideas rather than real life experience. I never thought this video of mine would get so many views, because I went against all the advice and I just told it as it is. People who genuinely want to learn will appreciate it.
I watched a video from a woman claiming to make tens of thousands every month with her low content books. So I went and looked her up. She only had a few books pm Amazon and they had zero reviews or maybe 3 or 4. LOL A lot of them are definitely lying.
I feel like you are a friend helping me out. Thank you.
Thank you so much, that's a lovely thing to say.
You are so soft spoken. May God bless you.
Great video, I watched one other video about KDP and got enthused by the possibilities, this one is more sobering and grounded in the reality of it all, it doesn’t necessarily come easy in the beginning, thanks for the tips, I just sub’d!
I just wana say this, I just came across this video that is just under a year old and I am truly grateful. I come from Kenya and i think it's just amazing how so many people across the world have similar struggles and just want to catch a break and make some money online. I am currently trying out a few businesses and I can tell you that this video has a very deep message that applies to anyone struggling to set up a successful online business. Thank you for your year old insight and encouragement.
Love the slow zoom in of the kitty 🤣💗
Wow you did it again. Such a wonderful honest video. And you are right you have to have the right mindset. For example I now have 70+ books starting out. I made some money the first two months, but now it has come to a halt . However, I am not discouraged at all. Why? Because I am having so much fun learning new things, designing, creating, and managing my time better. I will say this you can't give up hope. You've got to have confidence in yourself, and that comes with time. Baby steps is truly the key. Like you said slow down and take time to #1 enjoy the process, and #2 concentrate on making a good quality product that doesn't looked rushed. Finally do listen to others on how to accomplish your goals. I think this is why so many people trust you because you are honest, and so humble that you inspire us to be better creators on our journey. For that I thank you so much for taking the time to understand where we struggle, and help us along the way.
Thank you so much for your wonderful post Mark.
I believe it comes to a halt because people copy what you're doing. The ideas, the designs, etc. And then sell them slightly cheaper. I've been selling on line on different platforms for 14 years, and it happens to me all the time.
Yea true, when i don't have sales i give up for a while, then when i have sales i start produce again, the hardest part in KDP i would say is motivation to work.
So true. But don't give up.
You are just sublime….concise, and to the point…AND just a positive mindset
Thank you for everything
Great information I was really confused about kdp what's going on with my books but now it's very clear, thank you
So useful for all of the beginners who are worried about the sales..love your videos...love from India 🤗
I like how you titled each section.. that was helpful!
I'm really glad to have found you. Another great Ytouber said just put lots of books up, and I thought that was good even though I had planned on making unique low content books. It's good to know that unique is better.
It's definitely not about the number of books. When you first start, of course it take a few books to practice, but after that it is really about the quality of your books that will get you sales. Unique is definitely better, all the best to you on your KDP journey!
I so appreciate what you had to say!
You have no idea how much I need to hear everything what you've said. I wanted to start with this business but have a lot of questions and doubts with myself. 😔
I'm glad it was helpful.
Aww...love the senior kitty. I have two senior kitties that are 18 and I've had to create low steps for them to get to the places they used to. Great video as usual! Thank you!
😺💖
That's amazing, I also have two, they are sisters and they are also 18 years old. We just lost our little dog, we're so used to all three old ladies, now we have the two. Sometimes they still behave like little kittens.
Love your content. Thank you for a really good guiding information. ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I've created my first low content book and now waiting for review....so excited 😊
Best of luck!
You are an absolute delight -- to listen to *and* absorb your words of wisdom! 💗
Wow, thank you!
Your honesty is amazing. I love you. It might take time, but sure I will make money. Never give up. Thank you.
Love the old little cat interruption : ) and your gracious advice Thank you Miss!
the most valuable content so far
Thanks for that video, I found it very motivational. I already publish on KDP with moderate success but sometimes need a pep talk like this to keep me going and growing!
I'm so glad you found it helpful, I still need the occasional pep talk myself!
Thank you very much for your kind words and unparalleled wisdom and advice sister. I'm really touched by the way you have delivered your content. You have educated me so much more than four years of university.
Thank you so much!
I love the circle of encouragement that I've been blessed to come across.
thanks, I have 45 books in the last 50 days and made some sales
How many have you sold so far, since it’s been three months since you posted that I am curious how much you’ve grown? Has this been a viable option for you?
Do you advertise or SEO on your own?
@@amandamarie9699 So many setbacks computer died had to move all while locked down took over a month to get a new computer and no help to move and have to move again in a month not much progress but still making books
@@bellapetalart no
just learning the process and you can do anything! To many people focus on one thing and don't look at their options. thank you that is great.
Good to hear a honest content... Thank you, BTW.. You have a lovely voice.. Keep up the good work..👍🙂
Thank you hit all the spots that I needed to hear you were very realist of how it can go.
Thank God I am not alone. I was beginning to think it was a scam. Not a copy sold since mid year.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. You're awesome! Thanks
Your soothing voice made me watch the whole video . At the end I found out there was nothing new in it I didn't know before 😉😃
Thank you for watching, good to know that you already knew the truth! :)
So genuine and encouraging, thank you so much ^^
Hi! Thank you so much for posting this! I didn't come watch it for a while because I was in a shaky emotional place about trying a new way to make money online after having tried so many. Also, I was starting to have doubts, like maybe I joined the bandwagon too late. I am really happy I did watch! I had all of those doubts you were talking about too, about people just knowing things I didn't know. I just put my first five books up on KDP and like you said, I totally put different colored cover choices in case people didn't want the original color. Thank you so much for your honesty and your encouragement! This was exactly what I needed to hear today to keep trying KDP!
Thank you so much! Keep going, you can do this.
You are so pleasant and easy to listen to, thank you for your encouraging words and strategy I feel I can do this now!
I'm so glad to hear that, all the best to you!
Fantastic clear and logical advice. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making this video.
Thanks for this video. Its really helpful and gives me some confidence in trying it out.
Thank you sharing so sincerely.
Thanks for such an informative video, I learned a lot. And I just have to say that you are a very nice, beautiful and sweet lady. your voice is very soft and calm. You are very pleased to both listen and watch!
Great video. Learn the KDP system, follow its’ process and maintain integrity in all you do.
Believe in what you do and it shows in what you make. Quality over quantity works every time, thank you for this video, something I needed to hear.
