How To Make A Word Search Book - (Kindle Direct Publishing Low Content)

About this video

Martinez walks through making a word search book for Amazon KDP using only free tools. He stresses research first: do not create a book with no demand. Using Amazon’s search bar and the free AMZ Suggestion Expander Chrome extension, he looks for long-tail keywords with little competition (using ‘word search books for kids 6 to 8’ as the example), then studies top sellers in that niche — checking BSR/sales rank, ratings and reviews, publication date, page count and trim size — and notes that if the top books are all, for example, 8.5 x 11 inches with over 100 pages, his book should match that standard. He warns not to copy interiors, to add your own flip, and to watch for trademarks. For the interior, he demonstrates two free generators — a downloadable word search app for PC and Word Search Maker online — stressing you must confirm any tool is free for commercial use. He generates a puzzle from a niche word list (suggesting gathering 300-400 niche words), saves it as an image, then builds the book in PowerPoint: set a custom slide size to 8.5 x 11, insert the puzzle image, add a title and the word list, optionally add small images, duplicate pages to build volume (leaving backs blank if desired), and export the finished interior as a PDF for KDP.

Key takeaways

• Research before creating: find long-tail, low-competition keywords with proven demand (BSR, reviews) instead of making a book nobody is searching for.
• Model the market standard in your niche — match the top sellers’ trim size (e.g. 8.5 x 11) and page count rather than guessing.
• Use free word search generators (a PC word search app and Word Search Maker) but verify each tool allows commercial use.
• Build the interior in PowerPoint: set the slide size to your trim size, insert puzzle images, add titles and word lists, and duplicate pages to reach length.
• Study top books’ interiors and covers for ideas but do not copy them; add your own twist and avoid trademarked properties that could risk your KDP account.
