How to Create Riddle Books to Sell on Amazon KDP Using AI and Canva

About this video

Sean walks through creating a kids’ riddle book for Amazon KDP using ChatGPT and Canva. He first shows the market, citing creator-presented figures: ‘Difficult Riddles for Smart Kids’ ranked #23 in the whole bookstore and earning an estimated $946 to $2,100 per day, a 556-review competitor at $84 to $100 per day, and a newer math-riddle book with 33 reviews at about $20 per day. He studies competitors’ samples and reviews, noting simple numbered formatting and that poorly written, grammatically incorrect books still sell but draw negative reviews — an opening for a better-made book. He gives a prompt asking for 30 lists of fun, engaging, age-appropriate riddles of one to three sentences on a chosen subject, and says to generate 200 to 300 riddles across topics such as math, animals and vehicles. For the interior he uses the common 6x9 trim size with bleed, making the Canva design 6.125 by 9.25 inches with 0.375-inch margins, pastes riddles into text boxes, numbers them, uses a bold readable font, and compiles answers on separate back pages. He exports as PDF Print (CMYK on Canva Pro, RGB on free). Alternatives: outsource a cover for $30, or a full book on Fiverr for the $75 or $140 option, then market with Amazon ads and daily social videos.
