Noticed this niche some time ago too. Looks promising! I think one could do themed books here or even books where some story could be cut and glued. Lots of possible ideas. Thanks for the keywords!
This is definitely my favorite channel for money making ideas. The stuff you're providing is actually something that WORKS if you do it correctly. I've wasted so much time on other ideas from other channels. I've actually had some success with an e-book I put on Amazon over 2 years ago, so I know there's something to this. I still make around $20 per month consistently. This channel is allowing me to hone in on my craft & possibly make a much bigger profit. Time will tell!
Created my 1st book with your instructions. Submitted it to KDP. Took 5+ days to go live. It was live 4 days before I got my 1st sale this morning. So excited. I have 12+ more waiting to go live. And more in creation process. I love books. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Paul, I just love and appreciate your content so much. Thank you for your generosity. I had an idea whilst watching this one. So I think each of your hot niche videos should have three parts. 1 - finding and validating the niche. 2 - ways to make the interior. 3 - ways to create the cover. 4 - uploading to kdp including placing the back end keywords and finding the right category. That would not only be amazing but would keep us coming back everytime for the next part and ensure we subscribe so we don't miss anything! What do you think?
I think it's a good suggestion except ...you said 3 but listed 4;) and mainly.. I feel like he does actually do it in a process similar to how you mentioned..seperating hot niches into seperate videos but he does it more like hot niche/keywords in one and then interior in another.. for the most part leaving out the cover & uploading steps you mentioned and I think this is because A he has several videos that are dedicated to that specifically ie uploading to kdp, how to make a journal cover , starting kdp etc and B creating covers and uploading are more like something that we figure out in the beginning of this journey so no need to repeat telling us those steps over and over.. if someone does not know how to do those things yet they prob hold off on advanced keyword research and focus on getting those beginning parts down. BUT I think that adding some info into the keyword research on how catagories work and light suggestions for the topic niche would prob be helpful to ad in there I agree with that for sure!! If anyone wanted help with covers I'd be glad to help (for free of course) if there's anything I might be able to help with I'd be happy to try :) thanks for the good perspective. I love that we can all bounce things off of eachother etc.. I'm thinking about maybe making a discord or something that the kdp fam can chat on as well and help eachother. If I do I'll keep y'all posted! Thanks for listening ❤️
I just started uploading in January and I sold my first journal yesterday! I only have 7 up so far. I appreciate your straight forward style. Thank you!
Thank you Captain!!! I came back to touch on this niche.. I think there is potential here.. I had a 💡moment today after rewatching your video and I'm excited! Thank you for your super VALUABLE knowledge and time! It has truly helped me . PS thanks for the gift!! I grabbed a few goodies from your gumroad today:)
Wow, Paul I was injured OTJ and considered to be self-employed... Let's MAKE IT THAT WAY!!! Many thanks with heartfelt gratitude for the all the wonderful lives you are making better!!! 👍💖💗💕👍
Thank you so much for sharing this niche! I noticed books in the Children and Teens categories have an age or grade range included at details. I also read that books which don't have an age range will not be added to children or teens categories. So how do we add an age range to our books?
Thank you Paul, that was extremely interesting and very easy to watch and listen to. I was never bored! Appreciate you making this video and will definitely be watching more. Thanks again and good luck in Australia! Though here in Wales it's also very sunny today!!!!
hi Paul Marles, Just dawned on me that Rory must be your son. Both of you are very informative. I am absolutely a NEWBIE doing almost anything online. Would be very happy to see you put on a reasonably priced detailed course starting with absolute basics from signing on, signing up, transferring, up loading etc, from the start on this scissor skills book, or even to start, a basic plain lined journal. Including every step. Does the CreateSpace with Amazon, now, have a way to do basic journals with just AMAZON PLATFORM? I want to learn what I am doing before I branch out learning several programs to get to the finish. I don't really mind not knowing about the marketing side yet. Just want 1 successful book to go thru approval with AMAZON in the quickest means possible so I can make my own BASIC SOP of instructions to follow each time. I will probably do fine with the graphic design and book cover designs. I did have a bit of Jr College Courses in these...many years ago. I am hoping to do these KDP on AMAZON. Want to start with LCB Journals and Notebooks with lines and graph paper, then Children's Activity Books like Scissor Skills, then write and publish my own Children's picture book & cookbook. This should get me started. If the Children's Picture Book is somewhat successful, I will do the narration and character voices for an audiobook! Slow build. But I think the notebooks and journals will be a wonderful start. I already have a few designed in CANVA, but not sure that is the most efficient way, considering downloads. Do you know if most of the programs and design tools would be compatible to do on a Mac iPad? Thank you, in advance for your vision and information.
Yes, I'm planning on doing a course at some point. The KDP platform only has the facilities for you to create a basic cover. Many programs work to some extent on ipad but the whole process is a lot more difficult.
Great content Paul - Do you have a course yet or can you state to us which of your video's to watch, step by step, to get started? This strategy is new to me and it would be very helpful to know a step by step process! Thanks and keep up the great work
Thanks for this video! what's the next step you do after collecting all these keywords ? I mean How do you turn 65 keyword phrases into the 7 keyword boxes?
Great info yet again Paul, thank you. Let me know when you have early sign-ups for your KDP course (if and when that happens), I'll be first in line. Keep up the great work, much appreciated.
Hey Paul, I have a question for. I have recently published a book that is in a niche with over 100,000 results. It was challenging but we pulled through and made it to the first page in the first 2 days. It has gotten to the point where we appear above the sponsored products. but we aren't making many sales yet. Do you know what could be the cause of this. Your videos has helped me a lot and have given me good knowledge of better book production. Many thanks
@@sejuanni9702 I have checked on several devices and used a VPN to travel to all parts of the world and it is first everywhere. I have asked people and it is first trust me.
Well there are many reasons why you might not be making sales. One reason could be your book cover meaning even though it's first on Amazon the book cover isn't infringing enough for people to click on it. If your book cover is professional and people click on it then you might not get any sales if you don't have any reviews. People buy based on social proof so get reviews. If you have reviews then I would recommend rewriting your book description to sell and also upload a video of your product so customers can visualise it better.
@@barrygeorgioukdp Making a video could be a good idea. The book currently has reviews and a unique cover compared to others in the niche so that isn't a worry. thanks for the advice.
Too little information to give you a reason. May be a lot of competitors but not many customers. Maybe your cover. If you’ve got reviews then your getting sales.
Thanks from a Moroccan in France, I follow your advices and I hope my business will take off ( I haven't made yet any sales 😂) I've started one month ago. Thanks again.
Hey, Paul...another awesome vid. I REALLY NEED HELP getting my book unstuck...I haven't had sales for a little while and well, it's a book that I KNOW can help MILLIONS in a deep and profound way. The title is "Why Me" My Fight For Life by Dave Armstrong. I would gladly pay for some expert help, just an hr or two of actually going through KDP and optimizing everything. Thanks, Brother!
Hi Paul , When upload book and it show that "Error Processing" check file again but I don't know really what wrong. Any point? that I can check. Thank you
Thanks for replying to my other comment. I didn't see in the new video, will you be making a video on the software or websites to use to make pictures for scissor skill books?
I hope that you will put all your advice in the future by translating into Arabic now so that we can benefit from you the information better Your follower from Algeria
Hey, thanks for sharing. I just want to say that the video number 24 in the KDP Activity Books Playlist is not yours! Maybe you've made a mistake adding it there.
Hi Paul, thanks for the great content. I've been watching your videos one after another. Have just tried to download the files you mentioned but nothing seems to be happening. Have you taken this facility away or am I doing something wrong.
Hi Paul, just stumbled across your channel today - amazing stuff! Do low content books still require an ISBN, copyright page like one would find in regular books?
I cannot wait to see the next video on how to do the patterns inside the books. Excellent work. You are such an outstanding teacher. I am inspired. I’m just going to start with the basics and go from there.
Also, tried to download the GUMROAD Store Free keywords and interiors, but it appears that now some sort of payment is required. It asked what price range is it worth? I don't know how to price it, as I don't know what they look like. I am sure that if you use it, it must be adequate. I would love to actually draw my own outlined pictures for my interiors.
@@paulmarles yeah yeah Paul I Know but sometimes a good BSR let's say 500 With a x niche With high search volume is different to another one with a low search volume Even the bsr are same i hop i m cleared in This thanks Paul and have Nice day
Hi paul, my question is not in the topic but I need your help. I designed cover for my low content book and downloaded from canva. But after I uploaded in KDP the design and the title on the cover book didnt appear when I check it in the review. I keept trying but no change. What would the problem be? Please help me. Thank you.
Open the file you downloaded. I assume you’ve downloaded as a pdf? Open it and if it is your cover then there shouldn’t be any reason it doesn’t appear.
Hi Paul, Please tell me why some of the products on the first page that are good looking outside and inside have bad BSR ( in scissors skills niche ) ? Like 3 000 000? So they are on the first page, they are good but still nobody wants to buy it?
Hi, can you put the link of the video in which you explain, why are you looking for the keywords in the all category, instead of the books category? I don't find it below. Thank you :-)
Hi Paul. Thank you for your videos. I really appreciate them. I’m trying to put together my first adult coloring book. I checked the licensing in Vecteezy and asked them what license I needed to purchase to use the files on the KDP site. I received an email from them telling me I’d have to pay $99 per image and that I couldn’t use their free images for it. I’m confused, how can anyone afford to use their images on KDP? I appreciate your help.
Love your channel. I noticed that the nonogram niche is still super low competition today and you had a video on that 7 months ago. How well have your nonogram books done?
Can you describe how you “browse” Amazon and find niches or trends? You mentioned it at the beginning of the video and it seemed different from doing keyword research, which you have described wonderfully, and in length in other videos. Many thanks from a big fan!
I click through listings of niches I’m interested in and take a note of books that I haven’t seen before that are selling well. I go down through the book categories see which books are ranking highly, see if anything interesting appears. When I click on a book I look at the sponsored listing and related books that Amazon lists.
@@paulmarles As always - thanks for the great info! I get what you're saying here but not completely. I think this would make a great video on it's own, with you demonstrating and explaining,with examples, in depth, how to do this kind of research.
