I have a feeling this video will get mixed reviews. Some low content publishers will be angry at my opinion, some will disagree with me, some might even get angry at the fact that I used Sean's face in the thumbnail, but at the end of the day, it's the publishers that will extract the value of the information inside this video that will benefit the most. I hope you are one of them :)
By the way, for everyone that's been begging me for the past 4 months to open up my program...it's now open!
For anyone that's not ready to invest in themselves to gather the correct knowledge yet, check the description I have something for you that's completely free!
Can’t stand these scammers man smh
Don't worry. I never mentioned anything bad about you in the video. In fact, you've actually helped me a lot with my KDP journey. Thank you for that :)
@@barrygeorgioukdp i know haha it’s all good. Gotta play the YT game
You’re so funny, Sean! ❤❤❤
@barrygeorgioukdp in that case it's not right to put an image of him in the video thumbnail.
@@mweiss505 I'm changing the thumbnail right now :)
Cheap shot putting other influencers in there. Sean helped me a tonne
I don't think I've ever said Sean hasn't helped anyone :)
I’ve actually made money making low content books but as soon as other low content publishers discovered the niche, it quickly became flooded with competition and they undercut the price down to cost in order to rank. It became unsustainable so I quit and now I’m exploring publishing high content books. Thanks for your video!
Glad you found the video helpful. I think high content books will completely change your business and income. Let me know your results :)
I believe Low Content Books are not a scam if you know how to do it right
I completely agree with you :)
@@barrygeorgioukdp Well, if that's the case, Barry, if you think that low/medium content books are not a scam if done right, why did you not mention that very fact in your video?
@@mariopiperni I think you need to watch the video. He proved his point in the video. I do not agree with the thumbnail direction, but I agree with his point in the video.
I like your videos Barry but I can't entirely agree with the thumbnail for this video. Romney and Sean don't talk only about low content books
I don't think I've ever said they only talk about low content books. But either way I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :)
I recently had this realization 😩... Definitely shifting over to High content books.
Thanks for the clarifications 🤝. As usual, your videos are very educative
I'm glad you're finding the videos educative. Always happy to provide value :)
Thanks for explaining this in detail. Very helpful! :) Wish I had known this before.
You know it now, that's all that matters :)
Excellent, what else can I say! I was about to embark on making journals and your video popped up so I watched it and I’m glad that I did. Now, I’m going to watch more of your videos. Cheers!
I'm glad you found the video valuable and I'm looking forward to you making high profit books. Please keep me updated on your results and I'm always here to help :)
On point and straight forward. Thank you for the insights. 😊
No time to waste. Glad you found the video valuable :)
Great video as always. I'll admit it, i started making activity books for kids and adults and i definitely can relate to this video. Time to go Medium to high content now😊
I've made a good amount of books both low, medium and high content. After making high content books I never went back to low :)
The thumbnail is not a smart idea despite your intentions. You're putting a target on your back now mate
Its KDP bruv, not the Mafia
I think my videos are valuable enough for smart publishers to understand that the content of the videos and the knowledge shared will help them with their KDP business, not the thumbnail :)
First time watcher. Nice setup with the whiteboard!
I'm glad you like it :)
Hired a ghostwriter in 2010 to write an e-commerce book, it was dire. This triggered me into action, to dump my 10 year e-commerce experience on paper. 2 months later after running it through a proofreadee, it was live on CreateSpace, KDP, Apple, etc. 25,000 copies sold when I stopped counting in 2015. I'd personally never faff about with anything other than publishing a high content, high value book. Tip: write for yourself and it will be rock solid.
Completely agree. One of the first books I made, I wrote it myself and I was extremely good at that subject. Even though I wasn't the best writer the book still took off because of the value inside. High content, high value, high profit :)
Yaayy...Barry is here again
Love your excitement :)
Barry: Your analyzes are clear and powerful, thank you very much for providing that crucial insight. For this video I found a simplification that was somewhat exaggerated. In economics there is the term "elasticity of demand" which is simply the response of consumers to different prices; In general, it is easier to sell an $8 dollar book than a $16 one. In conclusion, it is true that selling 166 units is easier than selling 500, but it must be said that the price difference also alters the sales effort of each unit.
On the other hand, very good for the reply to Sean, recognizing his work, but placing it in the photo of the advertisement to the video, gives the idea that he is a scammer, in addition to placing his video running behind his back while you explained yours . I don't know, I took the trouble to write these comments because you give us a lot!
I agree with you on 'Elasticity of demand' however I'm assuming that's if you are selling an $8 coloring book vs a $16 dollar coloring book. This assumes you're selling the same product or in this case a different book in the same niche in different price ranges. What I am referring to is selling an $8 coloring book vs a $20 educational book in a different niche. However, I understand your point. By the way I'm glad you found the video valuable enough to write this comment :)
I love the video in the back😅. I follow him, too.
Great video, Barry. Nothing new to me because I'm following you for a while now, and you're absolutely right ✅️ . Still, it's valuable information, and I will price my high content book at 16,99 at the beginning to get some reviews. Everyone else in the niche is 16,99 to 24,99.
Sean is great. I have a lot of respect for him and what he has done for the KDP community. It looks like you've watched my pricing strategy video :)
@barrygeorgioukdp Sir, yes, sir 🫡
I love your videos and style. You're right that low content books aren't easy. However, I think that people who have an eye for design and trends and know how to illustrate etc, can do very well with low content and ads don't have to be that expensive. I started low content in 2018 and when I look at my lifetime sales on KDP since then I've made over 700k with a total ad spend of 80k (a pretty good profit margin if you ask me). I will admit that it was much easier in the early days to make money with journals and notebooks, nowadays a bit more effort needs to be put in but it's still very doable. I think like most things you just really have to have a good product.
I couldn't agree more with you. Thank for this comment :)
Yes. I love drinking tea too. And I watched all the youtubers too X-D
Tea is the best :)
Barry…, thank you ❤
You're welcome :)
Well deserved tea at the end
:)
Wow
This is actually enlightening ❤
I need to stop being lazy
:)
Barry I love how you always have a clear message to deliver in your videos and how you use multiple perspectives/angles to deliver the same point and really drive it home. Cheers brother!
I appreciate that. Glad you found the video valuable enough to comment this Louis :)
You are the best🔝⬆️🔝
Don't make me blush
Agreed!
:)
I enjoy Sean Dollwet's advice, especially in his latest video where he explains in detail how to make a kdp book. It's fine explaining your point of view, which is also great advice, but I don't think it's necessary to try and put Sean down in order to get views. Sean is a nice, honest guy who helps others as well to try and make money.
I like Sean's advice. I respect everything he has done for the KDP community and he has helped a lot of publishers create a good income from KDP :)
I know the coco wyo colouring books and her instagram followers are really high so i dont think she is paying for ads...... and she has a lot of books so low content books work if u do it right.
At what point Barry did you think it appropriate to use my image in your thumbnail then angle it in a defamatory manner? Poor form mate in my opinion.
I think the value and contents of the video are more important than the thumbnail Romney :)
Well you shouldn't be doing this Barry, your respect is more than views, try to keep it@@barrygeorgioukdp
The heck did Sean do? 😂
I don't think he did anything 😂
I published my first high content book and I need to
Market so much just to get 100 in first month. The profit comes but not the first months, for first time author, it takes at least few months.
The time it takes for you to become profitable depends on the quality of your book, and the effectiveness of your marketing. If you know exactly what to do, success comes faster :)
The good thing about high content books is that you can sell them in e-book and also audio book.
Completely agree. Selling e-book is underrated and a lot more powerful than publishers think :)
Kinda click baity thumbnail. Paul hasn't published a video in ages and Romnay and Sean talk mostly medium to high content. Anything else in the video super helpful and enlightening. I'm also switching to medium and high for all the reasons you mentioned! How was the tea BTW? 😂
I'm glad you found the video helpful. The tea was perfect as usual :)
Hmm
I heard you say that medium content books is about 15k words. I am now listening to the video a second time 😅 I have ADD this is common but perhaps you didn't say... how many words is considered high content books? Thank you for your videos I appreciate them.
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. High content books are usually more information heavy books. I find that they are usually around 30k+ words :)
@@barrygeorgioukdp I have a couple ideas running around in my head 1 high content book and a few medium content. Do you recommend starting medium content to get the experience of ads and everything first? I have started a medium content idea about half way through. I also plan to join your group too. You provide such good content and information. Thank you

Is a handwriting work book considered a low content or medium content ?
I would consider it a low content book but it really depends on the max market price and the quality of your interior :)
Bro business next level high growth guide which contain book
Please reply to me.......
I'm not quite sure what you mean :)
I'm not sure why you've used coloring books as your thumbnail since those are medium content books. Amazon states low content books have the same page repeating itself unlike coloring books which each page is unique.
I see coloring books as low content since you can't turn them into an ebook as they don't include enough words inside. Also the video focuses on the price of books and profit margin. Low content books and coloring books have very low profit margins in most cases :)
I don't know what to do anymore 😢😅
You will figure it out :)
Your profit is way off with the new costs.
Could you let me know the correct profit :)
All the high content books I have are from authors that are experts in their field. Why would someone read business or marriage tips from a random dude online? What type of high content books are you recommending?
I completely agree. I don't recommend to any of my audience or clients to publish books where they need to have some sort of qualification to be taken seriously. There are many niches that don't require PHD's or expertise :)
Let me know what address to send you a box of dry erase markers.
I literally just bought some new one yesterday :)
I'll let you know when they run out 😂
This is awesome mathematics. However still, please update thumbnail to remove @Sean and other gentleman's photo. What you talking is fully sensible, but dont stand over their stomach.
Simple maths to help scale your business :)
I'm sorry, but you either don't know what you are talking about or you want to sell some of your courses :D
You mention Sean Dolwet, if you follow his youtube videos you will find his 3 low-content products on amazon. One of them sold 1k+ units in the previous month (amazon data) at a royalty of $7.40 which gives us over $7k in a month. The others do at least $50 a day each. Is that low ;) I remember checking this product during the Christmas season and BSR was much better with the same royalty so it probably came out to 2x as much in terms of sales.
You say low-content advertising costs that much, I spent $350 in a month to get 1k BSR which is about 70 units a day. So advertising costs are not always $1k as you mention in the video.
I have the impression that you are forcefully trying to show what low-content is bad, which is absolutely not true.
You can absolutely become profitable with low content, it's just much easier with high content :)
His videos arent about how Sean can learn to make sales, but how we *all* can make sales with larger margins. So dont try bank off 50 books, put effort into making the 1-3 successful high content books.
Its a business bruv, not a lemonade stand.
I deleted my previous comment in which I explained extensively why the person above is wrong, but I realized that I don't feel like getting into these discussions any further. Some people won't be convinced by the fact that someone is making money on their gullibility and that with low content you can also have even $9 royalties and you don't need to spend $800 to write a book for that :)
@@progression5889 respect
The key is to create a low-medium content for 5dollar profit 😁
5 dollar profit is the minimum amount of profit I like to make from my books :)
Cheap shot, obviously jealous that the others have a bigger audience.
You've caught me :)
I don't make any money from my low content books, only make money from my novels.
Is that because of the higher profit margins or is it another factor that comes into play?
@@barrygeorgioukdp My low content books just don't sell. Maybe I'm no good at it and I don't run any ads. However, I love writing, write my own novels, and don't need to advertise them. The writing process is slow, though.
I couldn't help but think "Why are you wearing a bath robe and talking crap about people who don't give a @#!$?"
I don't think you fully grasped the information inside the video. I'm also not sure who you're referring to when you say 'people who don't give a @#!$?'
Don't call Sean a scammer ❤
I don't think I've ever called Sean a scammer :)
Hide when Sean sees this
😂😂
I like your videos, but you still hide the most important thing about success.🎉 Best thing the 3 faces of scammers 😅 but not Paul .
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the 3 faces of summer but I'm glad you like the videos :)
@@barrygeorgioukdp 3faces of scammers:)
@@barrygeorgioukdp He is talking about your thumbnail
Nah, sean is great barry... Change the thumbnail please❤
I agree, Sean is great and has greatly helped the KDP community :)
You’re just selfish and want less competition.
You have caught me :)
1:48 Here you categorize coloring books and activity books as low content books.
But aren't coloring books and activity books categorized as medium content books?
Are you basically categorizing coloring books and activity books as part of the "scam"? So your advice is to stay away from them, and do informational books?
My advice is to focus on creating products that give you a higher profit margin. It will be much easier for you to succeed and you will make more money in the long run :)
@@barrygeorgioukdp OK great, thanks for the advice 👍
But aren’t coloring books and activity books medium content?
Or maybe I misunderstood, and you meant they were low profit margin, not that they were categorized as low content?
Just want to make sure I’m not getting something wrong. Thank you.
Sean and that Australian Woman and MR Marles they are all blag artist. I fell for their nonsense. And they are still doing it. It is not right. You tell the truth
Every KDP Influencer has something valuable to offer to their audience :)
