so today I'm getting ready to show you how you can make a low content book just like these they have absolutely nothing in them but blank pages and you will be able to make these journals in less than 10 minutes and literally anyone can do this from anywhere in the world but more important than creating these books is actually selling them so I want to give you some tips and tricks that will actually help to put your books before the right people so that they will buy them and you will make some money this is
a hot selling item and this is something that I'm about to show you how you can sell on Amazon so don't go anywhere you won't want to miss this one what's up guys this is Monique and welcome back to the channel I am back with the news that you can use but first if you are new here hello bonjour Hola Aloha konichiwa wagwan Shalom thanks for stopping by but don't just be a stranger hit that subscribe button and join the family so this video me a little longer than I normally do because I don't want
this to just be another video that tells you something you can do without giving you the right tips and tricks to help you to really get the money so that's what we're about to do today but let me tell you really quickly what low content books are in case you are new here and did not see my last video which I'll also link up here but low content books are basically books that has low content in it meaning like journals notebooks composition notebooks those things where you have a book full of pages of lines and
that's it and a lot of people are making a lot of money selling these types of books on Amazon and I did this in a previous video and showed you how to make a journal that is full of the same page of line just in case you want to be a little more creative and put more than one type of page in your book I'm going to show you how you can do that today but first what I need you to do for me before we get started just go ahead hit that like button because
it makes the algorithm happy but it'll really help me to get this info out to more people so let's get into creating these books I want to start with that and then I'm gonna go on to the tips and tricks that you need to make sure you're selling these books and how we create the book boat right here we're going to go to the top and log in and then it's going to bring you to the home page here and on this page they're going to have a ton of videos for you to come back
and watch that really breaks down and let you know how to use Book boat so when we go over here you'll see this research button you click it and then we just go to create and then from create we're going to hit on Book boat designer and then they'll ask you to log in your login is going to be the exact same login that you use to get into bookboat we're going to actually be going into the new studio so we can just close that out right there and come to the top and hit try
Book boat and studio and once we come here it is going to make us select what type of project we want and they have many different options as far as the type you want you can do paperback book or you can do a hardcover booking so I'm clicking on paperback book and then we're going to go with a six by nine and just to let you know what a six by nine looks like that will be about this size this is really a six by eight eight it's kind of close to this size and the
interior part of the book we're going to just keep it black and white but as far as page count goes we're going to make it 100 Pages why it's just a number that popped in my head you can do 120 you can do 80 whatever you prefer now I'm Gonna Let it bleed and when it bleeds that means it can go over to the end of the page and then they're going to take you to where you're going to start doing all of your magic and they're going to explain to you what each side is
the right side is basically your front cover and the left side is your back but we want to move there get that out of the way we click up here we just hit High KDP cover template and hit okay but when it comes to what type of Journal you want to make one of the things that I came across was a prayer Journal it was very popular or you can do journals according to whatever season you're in like right now it is August school's about to restart you just kind of want to go with the
time because there are certain times people will be searching for one type of Journal more than another but as far as a prayer Journal we all need a little prayer in our life all right so this is a type of Journal that will do pretty well year round and other journals that do well is dream journals and also manifestation journals gratitude journals I hope you all are taking notes because these are the type of things that really sell well on Amazon so we're gonna just go right over here because we need a photo for our
cover page you can actually upload your own photos or you can go to pixabay and pixabay you can use theirs there won't be any kind of copyright problems with it and when I type in colorful I get all of these different options here they have some beautiful options here but oh look at that oh my goodness if they don't remind me of prayer I don't know what does it just makes me feel like I'm about to take a closer walk with God on this one what you want to do once you get your photo you
just want to take the edge and bring it out and expand it because you want to make sure it is filled all the way in you don't want any white to show like this is so pretty yo I'm gonna actually order my own book when I'm done with this and guys in case you don't know you know a lot of people ask me to help them edit I will be doing an editing course I'll put the link down in the description for you to sign up for the wait list so make sure you sign up
for that you do not want to miss out but back to making this money and so the next thing we're going to need is a title so you go up here to this text and then you're gonna click on that and then I'm going to go to heading why because it's a heading and then we're going to type into it and drag it to the front of the cover remember the right side is the front and if you don't like the front you can always change it I'm going to go ahead on and change mine
to this right here and then I'm going to add another heading and I'm going to do in the together because I want that one to be a little different just drag it over and we're going to make that one kind of cursive and we need to add the last word which is Lord and I went on ahead and changed the final a little bit more you just play around and find what you like and then we definitely want to change the color so in order to change the color you just go up here to this
Square that's black and then you just pick some kind of colors that you want you can play around drag it and see what you like I like this purple just because it kind of fits with the theme and then we're gonna change everything to that whatever color you last use is going to be at the top now you can actually do more to this if you want to there's a tab that you can select to pick some shapes and add it to that if you want to I don't feel like this really needs too much
else but one thing I do want to add to it is just a cross so I actually downloaded across already from off the internet you want to be careful with that that's why if I were you I would just stick to pixabay I'm going to just add it to the front of the cover and Center it right there and y'all that's it my cover is absolutely done let me know down in the comments what you think I don't feel like I need to add anything else to it so that's the cover y'all now we're going
to go ahead on and move on to the interior and so in order to start the interior we're going to go down here and click on page one and then over here by these tabs we're going to go to this little maze looking thing here click on it and these are all the templates that they have already created that you can add to the inside of your book like I said this is going to be simple and easy no writing in both and they've done most of the work for you and they have a prayer
journal and they also have a prayer list I'm thinking of a prayer Journal I want to put my prayer list at the front of the book so that I can always every time I open it have my prayer list to look at and then what's really cool about this list you list your prayer on the left side and on the right you list if it was answered or not so when you're ready to add this list they're going to ask you what pages you want to add it to you can go by and click one
by one what you want to add it to you can select all eye Pages if you're going to do a book like one type of page on this left side one on the right side or you can just select all like if you're doing a journal that's going to help oh just note pages in it what I wanted to do was I wanted to select the first five pages so I have to go and do that myself and then I hit next and then they asked me all of this stuff and I'm not even worried
about that I just hit submit you can change the margins all of that stuff but we're going to just leave it as is now that's the first five pages of our book now we're going to go to page six and what I'm going to go and do now is add that prayer journal to the rest of the pages you can technically go through and click all the rest of the pages but ain't nobody got time for that so what we're going to do is we're going to select all and then we're going to D select
the first six pages to save us a little time then we hit next and we hit submit and y'all that's it we have a completed book really plain and simple and all you have to do from this point is go to the top under project and then you just hit download this project RGB and from there it's going to break it down into two different PDF files you'll have your cover page and then you'll have your interior pages so to get your books on Amazon that's where we're going to be selling these wonderful books you
have to go to Amazon KDP and when you get here you will have to create an account and it is absolutely free to create an Amazon KDP account yes you will have to enter your tax information this is another question that I got a lot they always say Monique payment part yo I'm telling you today okay so there are several different ways that you can get paid you can get paid through direct deposit which they recommend you can get paid through wire transfers or through checks and so when you are doing the direct deposit then
you just put in your bank account information and that's how you're going to get paid when do you get paid once a month the payment is going to start 60 days after the end of whatever month you've made some sales that's what Amazon said not Monique we're going to click on the create Tab and it's going to bring us to this what would you like to create but we're going to do paperback so as far as those tips and tricks I was telling you about this is going to be really important the research portion of
you selling these books and bookboat has some research tabs that's going to bring you the best information they're going to tell you the top books they're selling they're going to show you things like how many people are actually searching on Amazon versus Google for particular topics they're going to show you how to get your keywords all of those things are super important so I really wanted to take some time to explain this part to you because this is really why a lot of people don't get sales because they're not using the right title they're not
using the right keyword so in order to make sure you're getting the right stuff so that your books can be found the first thing you're going to do is go back to bookboat and then you're going to go under the research Tab and under research there's a cloud you know everything's in the cloud so we're going to click on the cloud and when we get there what book boat does is they're going to search for the top 10 best sellers in whatever category you pick we're working with journals but if you have a category like
we already have we're going to go ahead on and put prayer journal in the keyword and we'll hit search and the first one that came up was prayer journal for women so that's kind of where I got this title from and then you could just pretty much scroll through here and see what other type of titles they have in regards to this I'm just going to stick with the one that was at the top because it has 495 monthly sales and I'm also looking for what the rest of their title says because there's a subtitle
tab that we can use and on here it says prayer notebook for women of God under subtitle I'm going to go ahead on and add prayer notebook for women of God why because it works and if it ain't broke we don't fix it so as far as series go we don't worry about that I'm not worried about addition number but as far as author this is where you are an author so you get to put your name in here or we are not adding book bolts or contributors but as far as description go one thing
that you can do you can go back to the that book that we looked at and look at their description and see if they have anything in there so I just added the size and say this generous writing space prayer list prayer notes and key verses the next biggest important thing that you need to do is when we come to this section here the keywords keywords are what are going to help to get you found when people are searching for these type of journals because someone may not come here and type prayer journal for women
so you want to put other keywords in here that will help to bring them to your book to let them know this is what you need this is what you have been looking for by my book so bookboat also has another tool that's going to help you to do that and so we go back to where we were under the research tab a button that says keywords we click on that and then we're going to click on search and from there we're just going to type in prayer Journal because that's what we did and we're
going to come up with all of these keywords that they say are associated with prayer journal and they're going to right here this shows you the Amazon search volume this shows you the Google search volume you want to look at the ones that say hi why because this is what people are looking for so I'm going to use the prayer Journal I'm going to use the Journal of prayer so I'm just going through and I'm finding the best seven keywords because they only give you seven keywords to add and y'all another trick that I heard
when it comes to actually trying to rank on Amazon and be found is to use categories that are not as popular then you will start to rank higher in those categories that people don't use often which means when people start to search for books that you are selling then of course you will come up first because you're ranking higher in other categories so hopefully that does help you guys to sell these books more and then also I selected that this is low content books and then they asked if this contains stuff that's basically an appropriate
we say no for children we'll come to this page here and on this page is going to say publish without an ISBN yeah I just selected it I skip over publication date and once you get here this is where you're going to start to upload everything your manuscript is basically the interior that you worked on and once you do that they will allow you to preview the book to make sure everything looks the way that you expected it to look so once you do that then it's going to show how much it costs to print
this book you won't have to pay up front but what will happen is once someone orders the book Amazon will take 215 for printing it so right here the rate you get 60 and Amazon will get 40 and once you set your price then it's going to break down everything I'm just going 7.99 and it shows that after the printing costs after Amazon gets their fee then I will make 2.64 off of this you can raise it if you don't like that price but like I say you want to be smart about what you price
these books when you go back and look at those books that are being sold that are similar to yours you want to see what they are pricing it because you want to try to stay within that ballpark because this was working and then you may not go for a few cents because sometimes something that's 677 might sell more than something that's 697 so you just have to be really strategic about how you do this but I wanted to tell you something else that's really really important and that is having reviews on the books that you
upload because I don't know if you're anything like me but when I shop on Amazon I always click on the reviews before I make a purchase so one of the things you may have to do is sell your books to family and friends and just ask them to go ahead on and review it for you or you can buy the books give it to family and friends and just ask them to review the book for you so that people can have some reviews to look at because that's what's going to help a lot of people
decide to buy your book it can work you can make a lot of money here but you just have to put in the work so that you can get your stuff to that level and then once you set the price you come down here you hit publish your paperback book and then voila it is submitted to Amazon it takes 72 hours for them to approve it so that's the entire process yo but something else I want you to keep in mind they're going to tell you that you can make a hardcover book to this that's
another option for you to do they're going to tell you that you can make an e-book and then you also want to make a lot of different types of books you may just make regular journals you may make prayer journals you can go back and make those meditation journals manifestation journals you can change up the interior to a lot of things and guys just to let you know book itself is not free they actually have two different plans they have the Newbie that's 9.99 and then they have the pro that's 19.99 this is the one
I use the pro because you get more stuff you can actually create coloring books you can create like Sudoku I hope I say that right books but there's just a lot more that you can do with it however there's still a lot that you can do with the Newbie and you get a three day free trial with both of these and on top of that I have a discount code that I'm going to be dropping below it's just Journey with the hintings and you can use that to get an extra 20 off y'all so I
hope that this helped you today guys I am going to be doing more videos like these so make sure you subscribe to the channel also like this video again because it helps me out but other than that thank you so much for watching and until next time we are out peace [Music] foreign [Music]
