COURSE OVERVIEW

In late 2019, I commenced my Amazon KDP journey, and I could see the amazing opportunity this business model could provide. Fast Forward 3 years, and I've now sold over 100,000 No and Low Content Books on Amazon KDP, creating a passive income stream of over $7,000 p/month. Books I created in my first few months of 2020, continue to bring in between $300 - $500 p/mth, and I haven’t touched them for almost 3 years! These books will continue to sell well into the future, generating a long-term passive income.

I started my career as a school teacher, but I had always dreamed of starting and running my own business. It took me several years to figure out precisely what it was, but now I couldn’t be happier working online from any location I choose and doing something I am passionate about. The positive impact you can have by creating gift books, education resources or even daily journals is a great way to be inspired each day you publish.

So why is Amazon KDP Publishing such a great business model?

Firstly, there is no barrier to entry. You can create everything for free, including your account, book covers, interiors with little or no experience at all. Remember, I was a school teacher, and I have no design skills; therefore, there is no pre-requisite for you to have any too! KDP Low and No Content Books are Quick and Easy to create, and Amazon does all the heavy lifting, including Printing, Distribution, Customer Service and Processing payments. As the author and creator, you receive a royalty payment for your book creation from Amazon. No longer do you have to store piles of books pre-printed, hoping they will eventually sell. With Amazon KDP Print on Demand (POD), your book is only printed and distributed by Amazon when a customer places an order on Amazon via their online platform. When the order is made by the customer, Amazon takes care of the rest!

Is KDP Publishing Right for Me?

Suppose you would like the opportunity to create your own business using the worlds largest distributor of books and have complete control over the design and creation without the hassles of taking email and phone orders, managing customer enquiries, and like the idea of a passive income. In that case, KDP is perfect for you.

Why Choose This Course?

Having created and published over 380 books on KDP, including 7 Best Selling Books in the US, UK and Canada, I have a considerable amount of experience, skills and knowledge to share. Having also come from an education background in teaching for over 10 years, I can break down the steps into a simple and easy process that you can learn without prior experience. If you want to see first-hand how I can help, watch a PREVIEW of the Introduction or one of the Modules and determine if my teaching methods are suitable for you.

In this course, you will learn EVERYTHING you need to know to start your journey and begin creating in a matter of hours.

What exactly are Low and No Content Books?

Low and No Content books are books with little or no writing. A few common examples are journals, drawing scrapbooks, composition notebooks, logbooks, and Learn to Write practice books. In the course, I even show you a way of downloading interiors for FREE without creating them if you choose not to design them. Once created and loaded to KDP, my books continue to sell daily across marketplaces, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Germany.

How much time p/week does KDP Publishing take?

As much time as you wish to invest! I started when I had a full-time, 9-5 job and did a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon. That’s the beauty of KDP. You can work whenever and wherever you like.

Starting Your KDP Journey

Lecture 3 :
An Introduction to KDP
In this lecture/lesson, you will learn about examples of Low and No Content Books, the business model of KDP, the Pro's and Con's of KDP Publishing and the creation cycle of KDP. *Please Note: As of the 17th May 2022, Amazon KDP have indicated they no longer will issue FREE ISBN's to books they classify as 'Low Content Books'. These books include blank and lined journals etc. Please refer to the KDP correspondence below: Hello, Starting 17th May 2022, authors publishing low-content books can publish on KDP without an ISBN. A Low-Content Book has minimal or no content in the interior pages. These pages are generally repetitive and designed to be filled in by the user. Common examples include notebooks, planners, journal and other similar books. This does not typically include activity puzzle books or coloring books, which generally do not feature repetitive content on each page. You will identify your low-content books by checking a box within the Categories section on your books title set-up. You can publish without an ISBN or you can submit your own ISBN purchased from Bowker or through your local ISBN agency. Free ISBN’s will no longer be provided for low-content books. After you submit a low-content book for publication, we will confirm it was set-up properly including Categories and ISBN options. You will receive an email if changes are needed prior to publishing. Low Content books that are already published and have a free KDP ISBN can continue using that ISBN even if you later make changes to your book. Regards, The Kindle Direct Publishing Team
