9 Tips For Creating A Successful Low Content Book Business | Amazon KDP Beginners 2022

About this video

RJ Martinez gives nine tips for a successful Amazon KDP low-content book business, defining low-content books as books with minimal, repetitive interior pages meant to be filled in — notebooks, planners, journals and log books. Tip 1 is finding trending, low-competition niches through research, which he says must come before anything else. Tip 2 is creative, SEO-optimized titles, arguing title keywords are a major ranking factor and that good keywords can drive sales even for a weaker book. Tips 3 and 4 cover designing a clear, concise interior around what the customer will actually use the book for, and deciding the book type and how its cover and interior will stand out among potentially a thousand competitors. Tip 5 warns against copying and trademark infringement — check trademarks yourself and make templates your own. Tip 6 is following KDP rules to avoid suspension. Tip 7 covers keywords, a descriptive book description using the available characters, targeting the title to the niche, and testing pricing — he says he has tested $6, $7, $10 and $12, notes the 60% royalty rate he cites, and favors $10 once a brand has traction. Tip 8 is proofreading and getting honest feedback before publishing, and Tip 9 is marketing: driving outside traffic from TikTok, Instagram Reels, Pinterest and Facebook, which he says Amazon rewards, before testing Amazon Ads.

Key takeaways

• Start with niche and keyword research: find trending, low-competition niches and long-tail phrases with search demand but few or no books
• Treat the title as SEO: put targeted niche keywords in the title and a keyword-rich sales description, since buyers find books by searching those terms
• Design for the customer’s actual use — cover, interior and concept as one package — and differentiate instead of reusing identical template interiors
• Do your own trademark checks, never copy another book word for word, and follow KDP rules to avoid takedowns or account suspension
• Drive outside traffic from TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest or Facebook to trigger Amazon ranking, then test pricing; he cites a 60% royalty and consistent sales at $10 after building reviews/brand
